each death struggle he witnesses
only impresses more firmly on his
mind how uncertain this life is and
he should look forward and be pre-

comes. He should pay the debt Of

cruising near the Styx, piloted by
the hand of misfortune, into waters
where death was king and cries of
anguish were answered by the hell

about the decks on dirty blankets
with one linen or mattress were
wounded bodies of human beings,
some ones brother, son, husband or
sweetheart, gasping for breath,
some already beyond human help,
others raving with fever fighting
again their battles, or muttering
words of love to their dear ones in
their northern homes, others cursing
and tearing at bandages, some
thinking of home which they would
never see again. The medical Of
ficers and nurses had dony all in
their power, to alIay their suffering,
but the task was superbuman, and
they turned grateful faces to us for
our timely aid.

The remark was addressed to me, as lay, leaning on my elbow, on the shady border of spruce forest, and it per tained to my handsome red fox, '4The Sprite," which stood just behind me with his muzzle thrust under my arm, watching the speaker with an intense look of suspicion in his yellow eyes. I looked down at his fine little face, and said, with smile:

WRESTLING
THE WEEK
 HAS COME
The Big Tournament on Thursday Night Attract ing the Attention of People From All. Over.

This is the week of the big wrestling tournament and from present indica- tions there will be an immense audi ence present on Thursday evening when the. six wrestlers get on the mat to decide three worlds championships. A big demand has already been made for ringside seats and any who oesire to witness the contests without their view being obstructed should avail themselves of the advance sale at once. Ky applying to E. l.. Maloney at the Democrat office you can be supplied with any number of ringside seats you may wish. There are good many who have asked why the ringside seats were not made S1 or more but the pro- motors wish is to give everybody 0 chance to see something good for lit- tie money.
 Swanson is at weight or below it and looks ill the pink of condition. He is as confident of winning as if the match was already over and he had been awarded the purse and the right to the welterweight title. He is bet ter than he ever was in his life ana will be backed for $1,OOO to win from Cnaki. The latter may be one of those surprises that happen once in while in sporting events. He is being care fully coached and tutored by Professor Atlas and one of the best middle weight wrestlers in the county. He Is also down to weight and Is now be- ing drilled in many new tricks and holds of the wrestler. He will be fit as a fiddle on Thursday night and if the match is to be punishing one, he can do little of that himself as those who witnessed his punishment of John E. Kelly remember.
 Ed O'Connell of New Haven and Dan Pickett of Waterbury will proDaOly carry as much money in purse and bet ting as the big match. For the past few days the word has come from close friends of Pickett that the lad will be whirlwind grappler when he faces O'Connell. If the New Haven boy beats him he will remember that he has been in match. Dan expects that O'Connell will rough it with him as he did with Kelly but if he does says Dan. T will spoil some of his good looks. It will be Diff, bang af- fair and the hotter it gets the better I will like it. intimates the Waterbury boy. There is no two to one shot here in this match and anyone who thinks SO is making big mistake. Just watch for Pickett to be fighting O'Con- nell up to the last ditch and if the New Haven boy wins he will be entitled to every credit for he will be forced to the limit from first to last.
 George Gresham has been playing in good luck in his last few matches and he expects that luck will continue when he faces Jack Brennan on Thurs day night He is at weight and 30 is Brennan and the lads will make as pretty contest as was ever seen for a preliminary As it is for blood TOO, besides the purse offered. the contest will be all the more exciting.
