left upper cuts, Nelson having the
better of it. They kept fighting
fiercely at close quarters, Britt ham,
mering Nelson's jaw with fearful
right and lefts. A wonderful amount
of punishment the Dane took at this
stage. Science was thrown to the
winds. The gong found Nelson the
weaker Of the two from Britt's ava
lanche of blows
Round 9.-Nelson covered, then
forced Britt around as usual, Britt
trying to uppercut with his left Two
left jabs went to Nelson's face, and
his right reached the same place.
Britt landed two more left jabs then
another and another and varied 1t
with right hook on the jaw. All
failed to faze the Dane, who many
times came back fiercely. Britt
struck rather low and was warned.
In exchange Nelson put two upper
cuts to Britt's face and body and
then Britt finding Nelson in an ex-
posed position. landed two terrific
rights on the left jaw. Nelson kept
trying to get in close quarters, but
Britt slashed him at will with his
left and right to the face, but could
not keep the Dane at a distance. Britt
had all of the honors of battle, but
every inch thus far has been contest
ed almost TO the limit of human en-
durance.
Round 10.-Both led with lefts but
missing. Britt sent in several jabs
with his left to the face and right to
the face, outpointing the Dane. A
right uppercut caught Britt on the
face. Britt fought back, landing his
left to body almost at will. Nelson
went after Britt to keep within close
quarters, but Britt was too shifty and
clearly outboXed Nelson. Britt then
landed a stiff right to the jaw, wob-
bling Nelson's head. Then followed
a fierce exchange of both, landing
telling blows. Britt then shot his
left twice to the jaw and then put two
stiff rights to the same place. Nell
son continued to be receiver general
of Britt's left and right clouts, but
nothing could stop him. Britt clear
ly outpointed Nelson, and had the
advantage.

The government cannot afford to
establish any such pension system as
we have in this country, but in all
probability it will make some sulta-
BILE provision for the manned and the
dependent. How generous It will be
remains TO be seen. and the discussion
of the question will be watched with
much interest elsewhere. No doubt
the government will find some way
to provide for the helpless that will
constitute a departure from western
methods and which may prove Just as
effective, If not more so, while costing
but n small fraction of what is ex-
pended for pensions under a system
such as ours.-Boise Statesman.

Jerry Thomson recently undertook
to drive a young calf on the head Of
Catherine creek. The "critter" was
tied to Thompson's horse and drove
well for couple of miles, then the
calf ducked and ran around the
horse and under it, entangling the
horse in the rope. The horse threw
Mr. Thompson and ran two and half
miles, through the creek on the way,
dragging the calf after him. The
horse was caught and the calf liber-
ated and the next day the "critter"
was able to sit up and is now alive
and well, though not so handsome as
before. Mr.. Thompson does not ex-
pect anybody to believe the story, but
says it is true. just the same.-Union

JEWELS OF VAST ANTIQUITY
Discoveries of Earliest Examples in
the Ancient Temples of
Persia.

Remarkable discoveries have been
made in>the ruins of the temples 1T
Susa, the ancient capital of Persia,
where marvels Of jewelry have been
brought to hight, the earliest examples
ever knownAf that country.
The jewelss of gold and silver are
the first of those countries and those
ages which have come down to The
present day. In this they present a
great interest. Unfortunately, it is not
possible to assign precise date to
each of them. AS the cylinders and
the seals which form part of the finds
belong to all periods from the fortieth
or fiftieth century B. G.. down to the
date of foundation, SO it is with The
jewels. There are some of every age.
The rings of filigree work and the
scepter with the lions head seem 70
be more recent than the statuettes OF
gold and silver, which have frankly
archaic appearance, but one cannot be
sure Of this appreciation. Have the
discoverers not been surprised by find
ing rings which, If their origin had not
been certain. would be attributed by
the most acute connoisseurs to he
Greek or Etruscan epochs?
Before the discoveries at Dashur
nothing was known OF the Egyptian
jewelry. The opening of the tombs OF
the princes of the twelfth dynasty was
a. revelation. 1t is the same now as
regards Elan.

COULDN'T COMMIT SUICIDE

Darky Suspected It Was

There was man in Atlanta who once
suspected a colored man in his employ
Of tampering with the contents OF his
wine cellar, especially with a certain
brand of fine whisky. The employer de-
cided to adopt measures to verify his
suspicious, writes Woman's Home Com
panion. He allowed the demijohn hold
ing his private stock" to become
empty; then, instead of refilling it, he
placed his pet brand in bottles, labelling
each one poison"
One evening, on returning home unex-
pectedly, he caught his servant in fla
granite delicto'' Seizing'the bottle from
the darky's hand, the Atlanta man ex-
claimed, in tone Of horror: "Great
heavens, Sam! do you know what you
have been doing? This bottle is marked
'poison!'"
The negro took the bottle and sur
veyed it closely. Then he shifted at it.
A melancholy smile fitted over his
dusky countenance. "'Tain't pizen

fooled ag'in."

CUTS INTO THE STOMACH.
Modern Surgery Accomplishes What
Was Formerly Deemed
Impossible.

Modern surgery's great achievements
have been in the abdominal region. For
generation ago fear of blood-poison-
ing kept the surgeon out OF this terri
tory. Here disease intrenched itself
and bid the surgeon defiance, says Les
lies Magazine. But now the surgeon IT.

life-saying feats with the organs tnat
seem absolute miracles to the ontooK-
ing world.
Take the stomach. If it is too iarge
the surgeon enfolds portion o1e-1ne
wall and sutures (stitches) the edges:
if a part of it is diseased, say with can
Ger. he cuts it out, sutures the edges, anu
if necessary, cuts a new opening for tne

abdominal wall into the stomach, and
when the man is hungry he merely drops

in case a cancerous area be so large as
to demand such a severe operation, the
surgeon may remove the entire stom-
ach and suture the esophagus to the
duodenum.
Contrast this last operation with th7
working principle of the '7O's, that TO
enter the stomach is death, and you see
how far surgery has travelled in gen.

With rounded and dimpled knees

And laughing with childish glee

And. oh, but that ship is careful;
The waves may foam and curl,
But never the ship goes plunging
Zoo much for the baby girl.
And never the horse gets fractlouS,
Or plunges or jumps aside
So much as to mar tie pleasure

Oh, good is the hour Of cleaning,

J It may be pleasant to know that
beautiful Oxford has more slaughter
houses than colleges, and these within q
stones throw of the walks and domes we
rave about, but the meaning of those old
halls is undoubtedly enhanced by the
contrast with the life Of the town they
adorn, writes William H. Allen, in the
Chautauquan. House boats on the Isis
are picturesque, but still more so when
we learn Of the constant patrol Of the
Thames from source to water main in
London. 1t is not exaggerating to Of
firm that he enjoys the hedges and cot
tages best who can look around the
hedges and cottages in rural Britain,
with the knowledge that these isolated
houses are better protected against in
fection whether from within or with
out than the palaces which entertained
Queen Bess. The clean roads, the great
distance between residences and out
buildings, the sewage farms and coun-
try hospitals are part Of the great plan
which has already realized in Britain
benefits Of which we are but dreaming.
