WORTH.
By o, A. Anderson.

Fort Leavenworth, Kas., July l.
Convict AIT, formerly Frank G. Bige-
low, president of the First National
Bank OF Milwaukee, and embezzler OF
over a million and a half dollars,
tumbled off his cot at 5 a. m. today.
hurriedly put on the prisoners garb
of blue, made up his bed, washed, and,
at the signal, walked to a nearby
building, where he ate a substantial
but plain breakfast, which had just
been unloaded from a wagon.
II was then 6 a. M, and the fnan-
cier's daily u%nvarying grind had be-
gun. Day in and day out he gets up
at 5 o'clock and goes to bed at 8 p. m.
Day in and day out he performs the
same mental tasks and the same cler-
ical work which the youngest boy in
his great bank could do as we'll as he
does. Sundays and holidays alone is
there any variation.
From a palatial residence in Mil
waukee to a cot in a laundry building,
filed with felons, Is a great fall.
None knows 1t better than Bigelow.
He broke down % after entering
prison gates and vas put In the hos
, pital. It was simply the collapse to
a nervous strain. and within q day
or so his time came to go through
the dreaded ordeal of being dressed
in"
Bigelow's photograph in prison uni
form Is put away with thousands of
similar pictures. His Bertillion meas
urements and thumb marks are print
ed on a card and stored with imprints
taken from felons all over the coun-
try.
There are two federal pe~nitentia-
ries near Leavenworth. the old one
and the new. The latter Is in course
OF construction, and Bigelow is help
ing in a way to build It. The desire
of the morbidly curious to see the
noted embezzler was so great that
Major McClaughrey. the warden,
transferred him to the new prison,
which is not in the run of curiosity
seekers. II embraces seventeen acres
and on three sides is surrounded by
a s~eventeen-foot wall. Not enough

Jeffries' actions are somewhat diff
ferent, but display even greater cool
ness han those of Dixon.
When a match is made, Jeff shows
great interest and talks to his friends
almost continually Of the coming
struggle. AS the date of the battle
approaches. JEFF grows Indifferent.
This is due chiefly to the fact that he
realizes lis condition is gradually
nearing perfection, and that he will
he capable of doing his best when he
steps into the ring.
/ remember before his fight with me
at Coney Island, he Would ask his
friends repeatedly what they thought
of his chances, and of course he al
ways received a fiattering answer
which, by the way, never carried any
weight with the big fellow, even l,
the opinions were solicited.
The proposition JEFF has to face,
never cuts any figure with him in
training. He probably worked harder
for the Munroe fight than he did for
the Fitzsimmons battle, which gave
him the title.
Before he shock hands with the
miner ne chewed gum in an uncon-
cerned manner. One would have
thought that he was going to give All
exhibition with some friend.
Before his fight with Fitzsimmons,
JEFF was joshing with some friends
and was late getting into the ring.
When he finally arrived, he wore a
small cap and heavy sweater, and
jumped into the ring with the agility
of a cat.

cells are completed to hold all the
convicts at work here, so 100 or so are
temporarily quartered in the laundry
building. Bigelow is one OF them.
Bigelow is one of three clerks in
the office of Will M~cClaughrey, record
clerk Of the prison. The former bank
president enters into big books the
daily records of a certain number of
prisoners. Convict No. II gets a new
suit of underwear. Bigelow enters It.
Convict 81 breaks spade. Into the
book 1t goes in Bigelow's handwriting.
Convicts q and 46 don't work as in
dustriously as they should. Marks
are recorded against them by Bige-
low.
The ex-speculator has relatives liv-
ing In town, and in a misguided mo-
ment a delegation of them, headed by
a minister, started to ask Warden
McClaughrey to assign Bigelow to the
ask of operating the telephone ex-
change In the prison. The job affords
much variety and would be pleasant
compared to some convict tasks.
What the warden said to the COM
mittee Is not known, but It is safe to
say that his remarks were to the eff
feet that he knew his business.
Warden McClaughrey has an inter-
national reputation as a penologist.
When Bigelow was being dressed
in. he was game until 1t came to dom
ming convict's garb. The only request
he Is known to have made was:
81 would like to request permission
to wear my own underwear"
IF were you," replied Storekeeper
Hannay, 81 would not make a request
of that kind. It will only be a ques-
ton Of time till the government will
have to supply this. You had better
put 1t on now and get done with 1t.
1t will be easier now than later"
So Bigelow laid aside his under
wear of finest thread and put on that
which Uncle Sam provides. The
clumsy socks came next and then the
blue trousers of light material and
the four-button Jacket of the same
material. Roomy shoes we're given
him and a cap, and he was equipped,
and upon his heart he bears the num-

BINGHAM PARAS0LS
AND GLOVES
With A Postscript About Queer
Fish Sandwiches.
BY Cousin Lii.

New York, July Lone might
think half the designers of the fash
ionable world had been at work on
parasols this year. so novel. so
new and so elaborate are they.
They run all the way from the
Bingham one. covered like the gown
II matches, to the white duchess lace,
with jeweled handle, which, by the
way, is also covered like the gown
it matches.
There is one covered all over with
tiny pink %ruffles, sailed "the rose, "
and another embroidered by the
Chinese, (which makes 1t alike on
both sides, you know, in bright, red
cherries. Embroidered ones are very
popular, and some have ever a spray
of artificial flowers tackled at the top.
Some are lined with tiny puffs of
chiffon, and they make you think of
the under side of a mushroom.
-Four pretty ones, 60 different
styles, are shown in the cut.
The one in the upper left corner
is covered with fiat rows of en-
broidery, a thing one could do at
home. The n below is decorated
with painted roses. Painted parasols
are very fashionable this year. Most
of them have two or three punches of
flowers on them.
The lower right p~arasol Is of white
silk, lined with rose Bow knots of
insertion are set into the silk. show
ing the lining underneath. A lace
butterfly is perched near the top, as
though ready for flight. This has the
hinged, or dress suit case" handle,
which makes it very easy to pack.
The parasol shown is a very stylish
one. 1t has apparently two silk
covers of the same shade of blue,
and below 1t is a plain fold of sheer
white linen. The handle is of wicker.
Gloves.
Gloves are no longer the prosaic
things they once were. 1t is almost
as it is to buy a new hat. 1ney are
much trimmed, usually with a con-
trasting color of kid. Almost any
combination of colors can be found,
light, trimmed with dark kid and but
tons, or just the other way. A few
a e trimmed with lace, a few with en-
%broidery, and n pair even boasts
Of a tiny purse, right in the palm of
the hand for car fare.
What few mits are shown are
very lacey and pretty, with a long
wrist, and point which falls low over
the back of the hand.
Up. S.-Must tell you about a fish
sandwich the Italians here make.
They take tiny fish, an inch or two
long, you've seer them. and boil them
a bit. Then they rool out bread
dough, spread on a layer of fish, more
dough, more fish, etc. Bake 1t, and
there is the Italian fish sandwich, all
ready to eat.)

Peter Jackson and myself were
probably the most nervous of all the
big fighters. Jackson, at least an
hour before the fight. would begin

structions not to wake him until the
last minute.
The noise and rattle OF the cars
bothered him and he sought a q~uieter
place, and when the time for the bat
tie came, Fftz was missing. His
trainer sought him high and low but
his Whereabouts was not revealed.
The promoters were worrying their
heads OF and wondering whether they
would have to return the money.
Fitz finally showed up. rubbing his
eyes and wondering what all the
trouble was about. His rest had
done him a world of good, but his
wife and promoters considerable
harm. He never was in better condi-
ton for a fight.
One of the great troubles with
young fighters now is that ,.Aey enter
the ring too young.
l mean that they tackle big game
too soon after they have had success
among the small fry.
Take Eddie Hanlon as an example.
Had the Frisco boy gone slower, he
would today be in the same position,
If not higher, than Jimmy Britt. Ed
die was anxious to reach the top. and
outran himself before he landed.

won the title at 81, and should now
be at his best. He has gone back so
far that he will never o the lost
ground. Battling Nelson took a long
time to risc, but overdid things at
the top.
With heavyweights it generally
takes longer to come, but the stay is
usually of greater length. 1t now
looks as If JEFF was going to break all
records for championship reigning.
There is one place in the world
where fighting is fourishing at the
present time, and little is heard of
the battles. In far of Alaska, the
knight of the padded mitt is enjoying
prosperity.
| received a letter from a friend the
other day making me an offer to come
to the region of ice and snow to meet
a local man on Dominion day. | sent
word to him that | was no longer in
the ring, and informed him of two or

would be a good place to pull OF the

SOME WONDERFUL POLICE DOGS

Dogs have been used in many va
rious and useful ways to suit the SER
vice OF man. Perhaps the most
unique use of the dog has been devils
ed by the authorities of Brunswick,
in Germany.
There they have trained sagaclous
CANNES into a police force, and they
do their work extremely well. In
fact, these dog police have never yet
been subject to a municipal investi-
cation.
The chief of the dog police is Har-
ras, who is shown in the first picture,
as he was photographed in the act Of
capturing a ~vagabond. Harras held
on with grim determination until his
less agile men comrades of the police
force arrived on the scene. Harras'
two leading lieutenants are Luchs I
and Luchs ii. while they have many
subordinates.
These dogs are of a kind OF shep-
herd dog breed.
