kins is lAe best of the modern Ameri-
can grapplers, although at present 1t
seems as though Frank Gotch, the
Iowa boy, is bound to succeed him in
the near future. George Hacken-
schmidt's appearance in the United
States at this time has had considera-
BILE to do with the boom in the game
of grapple. The debates in the press
and magazines about the relative mer-
its of jiu-jitsu and wrestling have also
attracted attention. At any rate, the
game seems to enjoy more popularity
at the present moment than it has at
any time during the last ten years. And
it is up to the wrestling fraternity to
bring wrestling up to higher stand
ard of popularity even than it enjoys
now. The many and clever fakes pulled
of by wrestlers in the past have de.
tracted from the sport, and lost to it
the popular favor it at one time en-
joyed. AS an exhibition of science and
force wrestling is exceedingly spectac-
ular. There are hundreds of chances
offered for skill, and no man but a
very powerful one can ever become a
worlds champion at this game. Near
ly all countries have produced Crap
piers of note, but the most picturesque
grapplers come from the domain of the
sultan. The Turks are picturesque
people, but in nothing do they display
their quaintness more than in he
wrestling game.
Grapplers from the orient do not
wrestle exactly like the western wres-
tiers, but it has generally been noted
that they are much more powerful.
And how these Turks accumulate their
wonderful force is a mystery to the
ordinary wrestler. Usually to gain any
amount of fame as mat artist in
America requires a course Of careful
gymnastics covering period of years.
A wrestler is as careful of his health
in America as prima donna is of her
voice.

Undoubtedly the telephone is great
convenience. Whoever has had it in
the house would sacrifice many lux
uries rather than go without it. Time
and strength and letter-writing ard
kilograms, and all sorts Of minor dis
comforts are saved us by this weird
contrivance on the wall, this mysteri-
GUS tube into which we speak; this
odd receiver which brings us voices
from afar. We want to talk with a
friend, to ask after her sick husband,
or about her absent son; we are con-
fronted by an emergency and obliged
to leave home suddenly, or unexpect-
ed guests arrive, and the dinner must
be nicer, with an added course or two
lin every case the telephone is our
friend. Certainly we should hate to
do without it, this link that through
the power of applied science binds us
closer to our comrades on the road.
1t is great convenience, and to some
OF us an indispensable necessity.
Take for example the wOman's

there were not the telephone? Every
body knows that club, however small,
finds opportunity for endless discussion
and arrangement and Encouragement,
at other times than when in session.
