TACKLE THE CROWNED HEADS.
Martin Flaherty Would Take on the
King of Greece.

King of Greece.
Martin Flaherty, the Lowell boxer
who IN his day as featherWeight prize
is going to show the king of Greece
how proficient Americans are in the art
of seIf-defense. KING George has not
yet granted the official decree sum-
noning F'laherty before him, but it VIII

Not long ago a young Spartan, scion
Of a wealthy family of Greece. who came
here a few years ago to learn our lang
uage and customs so that he might rep
resent his fathers large interests here,
approached FIaherty and asked him to
teach him how to box. John Cnsos is
the name of the young man, and after
he had made some progress he unfoldeo
his plan to Martin. He said that he
wanted to show his king how Ameri-
cans defended themselves, and he had
written home to his people to prepare
the way.
Thus it is When Cnsos develops
enough of the boxing game he is going
to take F1aherty over to Greece and
the pair will engage in a sparring exhi-
bition for his highness. Perhaps Martin
may induce King George to engage IN
q. friendly bout, and in that way show
just how much skill there is in the box
ing game. Young Cnsos is wildly en-
thusiastic over boxing, and he says that
when he returns to Sparta he will do
his utmost toward teaching the game
to his feilow-countryme and endeavor
to have it introduced in the army.
Cnsos comes from a wealthy family
of exporters, and Flaherty firmly be-
Iieves that within six months he win
have the honor of boxing in the pres
ence of the king and nobility of Greece.
Whether that honor comes to him is a
question, yet Martin has nothing to COM
plain, Of as he receives q. big salary for

prominent horse dealers recognized

to the police station, Carlos stated
that he had stolen three horses; one

munity in which he was born and
reared who have no opportunities to

people that this work has been started
and will be carried to a conclusion.
From the Tipperary home to the
seaport is few hours ride on the
irish railway. To New York by
steamer is six days, with another four
added to come to Hutchinson. Ten
days after leaving Ireland would see
these girls established in homes where
they would be self-supporting and
where wages would be paid to them
sufficient to help the ones left at
home It would be a change for the
girls who have grown up to blossom
ing Womanho0d in the hills of the
Emerald isle, and it would be the
means of giving good homes to girls,
who would marry and grow families
to bless the goodness of their former
countryman and benefactOr, who is
attempting to do something for the
playmates of his childhood.
Sixty dollars, or very little more,
would bring the irish girl from her
mountain home to the free life of
Kansas. Many girls could manage
to raise this money, and it is believed
that the work started by Father
O'Farrell will be the means of trans
planting from County Tipperary to
Hutchinson a colony of comely, buxom
Iasses who would help to make the
womanhood of the prairie more indie

These letters are being answered,
and Hutchinson people are ready and
willing to assist with the work started
by the priest. Many families will
assist to get the Irish girls started to
America, and Father O'Farrell will
be helped in every way to assure the
young women that they will be given
homes and work.

came with her husband to Allen county,
and began housekeeping in Gas City.
Here they continued to reside until Jan

her, and accused her of indelity, and
told stories to the neighbors about her,
hurting her reputation, and that he
heaped the eliminating indignity upon
her January 10, 1905, breaking two Of
her front teeth. 1t was then she left
him and made up her mind that she
would not live with him any more.

able to earn money, but that he
wouldn't DO it. She, however. took in
washing and earned money, and when
she would not give it to him, he abused
