Near the end of the fifteenth round Needham smashed

them to his family Before my fight with Sullivan he took

fighter in the world Shake hands with the champion,

Something About Jabez White.


Jabez White, champion of England and woud-be
champion of the world in the much abused lightweight
division, has arrived in this country and has stirred up
considerable talk among ring followers, from Maine to
california.
Jabez is not striking looking pugist, although his
countenance smacks of air of refinement that

The impression Of him from the first look and that is

foreign champion and that alone makes him worthy of
respect although Englands pugstc roll of honor isn't

taken very seriously.
Jabez is here primarily to get the money, and second

The latter he will have to lock in safe and

transport the title. But that only possibility in
view of the records of White and Britt
White was born in Birmingham, England in 1876, but
not heard of until 1894 probably because his parents
were of peaceful minds, his father being eweer. His
first ring effort did not set the world fire, although he
made credible showing in amateur tournament losing

MAKING SURE OF THE TIP.
How Walters Provide the Change So
as to Insure Certain
Rake-Off.

Bring the change in quarters" said
the man who had paid for four-dollar
luncheon with a fve-dollar bill
why did you specify the denomina-
tom" asked the woman opposite.
Because II hadn't that fellow would
have brought in half dollars and then
I'd have had to give him 50-cent tip.
That is trick most walters have.
When 1t is possible to bring the change
in dollars and half dollars they do it,
so the tip will be correspondingly large
or course, in restaurants where % cents
is the usual tip, they are not quite so
greedy, and get the change so cut up
that it shall contain at least one quar-
ter. They are afraid that if that is not
handy they may get tarned down with
out anything, and they don't want to
take chances of losing all the way round.
In all restaurants dimes are avoided In
making change whenever possible.
Every waiter considers his services
worth more than that, and he takes
precautions to prevent patron from
dsgracing himself by offering him one
Cashiers are all in on the game Of
change. They take care to make it in
coins that will insure the waiter sat

has the forethought to ask for little
chicken feed he is doomed to ruinous
