NEW YORK. Nov 1s.-Progressive

other large Eastern cities have made
up their minds that New York ought to

CHICAGO, Nov 1S.-The amateur box
ing tournament that has been held un-
der the auspices Of the recently organ
lied Illinois Athletic Club at the Coli
scum this week, has been an edifying
spectacle IN more ways than one For
three nights audiences of from 1900 TO
1000 have attended the bouts. and the
promoters Of the enterprise, thus en-
courazed. are already talking OF repeat
ing the affair month later.
There has been nothing amateur about
the management OF the tournament, at
any rate. The regulation prices have
been charged for admission. and as the
only reward given the boxers, at least
for publication. has been in the shape
OF diplomas. the net returns must have
been something handsome.

Nobody Shocked.
The big attendance at these near-fights
shows what a following the sport has in
Chicago, and may have much to do
toward securing permission for its re-
vival. The best class of business and
professional men have been represented
at the tournament, and although there
have been several knockouts and not a
little rich. red blood spilled. no one. so
far as known, has been perceptiblv
shocked thereby. Perhaps attendance at
the many football games that are PLAYED
around Chicago every fall, has Injured

they are held in restraint while others
are permitted to go ahead and garner
the shelxels by virtue of a mere techni-
eality And there are others who look
at it in the same light.

Anecision Of Farmers.

The supreme court has rendered an
opinion that farmers who sell theil
produce are not hockers or peddlers
and, therefore, are not subject to the
ordinances of the city in this respect
This dicision gives the farmer the
privilege Of selling his produce from
house to house without taking out q
license.
In the case Of st. Louis VS.. Henry
Meyer, Judge Fox reversed the case
and discharged the defendant, who
had been fined by the St. Louis court
of criminal correction for violating
the ordinances Of the city against the
business Of knocking" without having
obtained a license from the city. The
supreme court holds that he was not Q
'peddler'' and that the city ordinances
could not make him one, and that
therefore, it could not require him tt
take out a peddler's license by simply
using the term "hawker,n the court
saying in substance that ''hocker'
and ''peddler" mean the same thing
and have been so regarded by The
courts Of this country.

The Value of One Acre.

1t may be unusual to estimate the
amount Of pork that can be produced
from an acre Of certain crops, but the
Lexington Intelligencer has solved the
problem in a very interesting way. 1t
is claimed that an acre of land In clov.
er will produce 800 pounds Of pork
peas 3T5 pounds; corn $50 pounds; oats
800 pounds; barley 420 pounds, and
wheat 225 pounds. The value Of each
crop on one acre when converted into
pork is as follows: Glover, s32; corn
s224O; peas SIS; barely, sle.s0; oats,
$500, and wheat 90, estimating the
pork at four cents per pound. OF
course something depends on the
prices ruling for the crops. The
amount Of produce per acre required
to give the pork mentioned on an acre
is 900 pounds Of wheat, $50 pounds Of
barley, 1920 pounds OF oats, 2,24C
pounds Of corn, 1900 pounds Of peas,
and u, 900 pounds of green clover.

The Columbia Herald tells the fol-
lowing story; A resident Of Missouri
township visited Columbia recently
and was very much interested In the
electric lights which he saw In the
stores and business houses. After
taking on quite a number of drinks,
be was possessed with an uncontroll-
able desire to possess one OF the pecu-
liar lights which required no oil or
matches. A bartender showed him
how the thing worked and the farmer
was delighted to find that be could
work it himself, making the light go
on and of by merely turning the but
ton. The bartender left him to wait
on some other customers, and while nc
one was looking he pulled the bulb
off the wire and stuck it in his pocket.
The bartender missed the light, and
when his friend visited him again
Christmas week, he asked him about
1t. "Well," said the farmer. "I'll

and hung it up in my house. ] thought

Mrs. Ann s. Kemp, Of This City
Celebrates Goth Birthday-Was
Among the Earliest Settlers
in Missouri.

Mrs. Ann S. Kemp, oneof Audrain's
highly repected and most amicable
ladies', celebrated her Goth birthday,
January 10, 1905.
Mrs. Kemp was born in Jesseman
county, Kentucky, Jan 10, 1915,
moved to Galloway county, Mo, in
1917, some years later retired to Au.
drain county.
She was married to John W. Kemp
in 1910, the latter died In 1883.
There were ten children who bless
ed the union, seven Of whom are liv-
ing: W. R. Kemp, Sallie Elizabeth
Hook, Chas. Ammop Kemp, OF Mon
roe City; James II. Kemp, Basel Mil
ton Kemp, Mary Jane Canterbury and
Nancy Mosley Saunders.
IL is with pleasure that Mrs. Kemp
tells of her early days and adventures
in Old Missouri and when all around
her was wild with droyes of buffalo,
deer, bear and many more Of the fur
bearing animals as was also wild game
with plumage, such as turkey, quail,
prairie chicken, geese and ducks,
could be seen In flocks numbered in
the thousands, but In the later days
have gone from US like the passing
wind.
Mrs. Kemp relates that her early
days, all around here could be seen the
Red men, so called Indians, had many
pleasures and hardships, such as the
present generation read about.
In those days the closest trading
point was St. Charles, Mo-, that was
because it was on the river, there be-
ing no railroads to depend upon.
The stage coach, wagon or horseback
was the only mode Of travel. Take all
of our beautiful and most prominent
cities, towns and villages In Missouri
Of to-day, they were not Thought Of,
but were marked with dense thickets
or forests, which many wild animals
and evils called their homes.
Inventions, there we're few, not like
those Of today, labor and all of its
tolls was done from hand TO hand, as
they did not know what shirking
meant.
1t is remarkable TO say Mrs. Kemp,
at the age of 90, can read all kinds Of
writing and most of the newspaper
print without the aid Of glasses. She
also prizes fine set Of teeth, which
can be said that not one has crumbled
away.
Through the remaining years of life
1t is to be hoped that Mrs. Kemp will
retain her old time health and may
she have the pleasure Of seeing many
more bright and happy birthdays.
