Something About Jabez White.

Something About Jabez White.
Jabez White, champion of England and would be
champion of the world in the muclabuse 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 pugilst although his
counenance smacks of air of refinement that compares
favorably with James Edward.
The impression of him from the first look and that is
far have gone leads to believe that he might
be good and then again he might not However he is
foreign champion and that alone makes him worthy of
respect, although Englands pugstc roll of honor ISM
beamng with records bright spots and has been
taken very seriously.
Jabez is here primarily to get the money and second
ary the championship. He might be successful in both
The former, if reports true he may be able to retain
The latter he will have to lock in safe and
guard to protect if he would take it Of the country

not heard of until 1894 probably because his parents
of peaceful minds, his father being jeweer. His
first ring effort did not set the world fire. although he
made credible showing in amateur tournament losing
the final bout points.
In 1895 White entered another amateur tournament,
and after defeating Con Barrett and Bill Parsons lost
Sid Scales points. He kept up active ring
until he recognized the best of Engands light

Eight Dollars a Week

"Why, SO a week isn't pin money! cried New
ork woman to the judge who had granted her divorce
"Why my alimony will not pay for my violets!
Chow am l expected to even begin to live on So a
week. she asked Its fortunate for that have
father living. If | hadn't I'm dom know what
would do Can woman maintain decent apartment and
eat decent meals and pay maids wages on So week
Everybody knows she can't
There is strong touch of the lucrous in the poor wo-
man. JOY that she has father living support her Per-
haps that is all she considers any man good for.
Is it really fortunate for her that she has father v-
ing? It's doubtful. She will very likely go making a
fool of herself as long anybody pays her bills.
What she needs is effective teaching in the value
boquet of vioets that scented the whole building She
needs to learn that woman should be something more
than a boquet-holder.
Labor is curse. It is wise old natures method of
making of use to the world and saving from being
tolerabe nusances to ourselves. If money not hard
to get of would have solved the problem of v
ing on So week.
Vioets sweet but there many far more import
ant things in the world than voles Not all the perfume
Of life should be in the nostrs We truly possess only
when it is in the soul And it in the soul only when we
have earned it.
The who does not know it is possible live
SIS a week doesn't know what living is Far more than
half of the of this country live less than that and
live happily and usefully.
The humble and mothers of the world do not need
vioets at their breasts to put perfume into millions of
lives

ST. PETERSBURG, April lin
spite of the inconSiderable number of
Japanese prisoners who have fallen
into the hands of the Russians, 1T
has been considered necessary to send
them to a remote district of Vologdo,
many thousands of miles from their
native country.
The Japanese have been quartered
In the ice-bound village Of Medviedje

hour of their deliverance. This i'm
patience is intensified by their UNI
comfortable surroundings, for even
the Russians look with horror upon

ment, which is infested with wolves
and which has been notorious since
the dreaded Count Araktchejen es-
tablished a penal colony there.
The Japanese have done their best
to brighten the place. and, thanks
to numerous paper lanterns and ar
tificial chrysanthemums placed in the
windows, have somewhat relieved the
monotony of the long rows OF uni
form huts in which they live. A dis
tinguished visitor to the Japanese
prisoners quarters reports that on
entering their rooms he found them
all so intent on the work which they
were performing that not one or
them raised his head to inspect the
newcomer.

A Famous Battle Recalled
In Minneapolis stands building within the walls of
which fought of the greatest battles the history
lOf the prize ring records.
1t in 1891 when Danny Needham's star was shin
ing at its brightest Ryan Needhams opponent and
Tommy tough boy at that time.
Near the end of the fifteenth round Needham smashed
the bones in his right hand and also disabled his left
Despite this state of affairs Needham kept fighting
and for 81 rounds took all that coming his way, reus

opponent any harm.
In the seventy sixth round the fight ended and doubt

| Ham Brock once prominent in sporting circles, was
accustomed to take his friends to his home and introduce
them to his family Before my fight with Sullivan he took
John L. home and introduced him to his wife and then
brought forward his little daughter, saying:
"Else want you to know Mr. Sullivan the greatest
fighter in the world Shake hands with the champion,
dear"
| The little girl gave her hand to the big fellow and
treasured the incident in her memory Not long after
wards met and defeated Sullivan at New Orleans but the
| little girl still remembered him the champion.
At this time Mike Kelley in his glory diamond
star and occasion he called on Brock The latter
called his daughter and said:
''Elsie this is Mr.. Kelley, the champion ball player of
the world; he wants to meet YOU" ~s, ,..t-.s
The little girl looked at the offered hand hesitaed and
finally said:
