Thc Tiger md the Cont.

A tiger once invited Il goat to dinner.
The goat was tickled to death at the
notice of the noble beast and wore his
spike tailed coat and link sleeve but
tons in token of his appreciation. Can
l help you to some of this veniSon
steak" the tiger asked the goat very
cordially. The goat did not eat venison
steak, but he dissembled very cleverly
and preserved Il smiling exterior. My
physician" he protested, positively
forbids vcniSon steak" There was
nothing else Oh the table, and the poor
goat was compelled to sit idly by while
the tiger devoured n hearty repast.
But the goat was not disposed to de-
privc himself of the sweets Of revenge.
He accordingly pressed the tiger to
dine with him the following evening.
Can help YOU" swcctly inquired the
host "to some of this Stewcd tomato
cans, with brown paper saucc:" NO,
thank yOu,' reioined the tiger, my
doctor forbds." 80 sorry" murmured
the goat in secret glee. Il fear you
will have only an unsatisfactory meal.
"Oh, | shall do very we'll" protested
the tiger Whcreat he fell upon and de-
voured the goat himself. Alas" eX-
claimed the latter with his dying
breath. II was too funny" This fable
teaches that it is perfectly proper to
take an insult from some people with

1t does not seem very clear at what
period the legal age for members Of
parliament was fixed at twenty.one.
1t is, however, certain that in the
reigns of Elizabeth and James |. boys
of sixteen and seventeen occupied seats
in the house of commons The poet
Waller took his seat as an NJ. L. before
he was seventeen. Charles james Fo:
took his seat at eighteen and Chester
field before he came of age. This, how
ever. was clearly irregular, because It
is recorded that Chesterfield was
threatened with penalty of f5O0 for
sitting and voting i'll parliament while
under the legal age if he did not cease
his attacks upon the government. Lord
John Russell also sat before he was
twenty-one, and he seems to have been
the last of the parliamentary minors.
An act Of William I'LL, passed in 1906,
made the election of a person under
twenty one void, but the act was not

NELSON is OVER WEIGHT
BY Assocla ted Press

by ASSnFi1 IPu FTSSS
GOLDFIELD, Aug. 20-A large
crowd filled all the available space in
Nelson's training quarters this after
noon and applauded the Dane at his
work. The last twenty-five minutes of
the hour was spent in wrestling and
sparring with Jack Clifford. Nelson is
clearly in his best fighting trim.
Twice when Clifford gave him an
opening he landed so hard as to knock
the former off his feet From start to
finish of the three rounds he "miXed it
up" showing that he has not departed
in any degree from his regular mode of
fighting.
At the conclusion Clifford was badly
marred and stained with blood. Nelson
was asked for a statement and de-
clared:
"There is only one way to fight that
] know of. That is to fight from the
drop of the flag and fight all the time.
That is the way l intend to go after
Cans"
Cans still sticks to the lighter work
in his sparring. The colored fellow
weighed exactly 1873 pounds at the end
of the afternoons work. Nelson's
weight is about 134%.

An automobile contest between Bar
ney Oldfield and Charles Chrisman, the
champion speed driver of Nevada, may
be the attraction in Goldfield on the
morning of Labor Day instead of the
widely heralded bull fight.
An informal gathering of the MEM
bers of the Goldfield Athletic club was
held today to consider the matter.
Hundreds of letters of protest from
preachers, Young Mems Christian as
sociations and ladies' benevolent soci-
cites have been received by Tex RICK
ard since the announcement of the pro-
posed contest between toreadorS and
bulls. Although no definite action was
taken 1t was the feeling of the promi-
nent men present that to hold the bull
fight in the face of such decided oppo-
sition would be unwise.
Chrismans challenge to Oldfield VIII
be sent out this evening. 1t is proposed
to hold the automobile contest on a
fiat stretch of desert eleven miles in
length and fully four miles in width
which lies little more than five miles
from the town. Chrisman is a Swede
who built an S0-horse power car ac-
cording to his own designs about fouI
months ago. On a trip from Tonopah
to Goldfield recently with Battling
Nelson as passenger Chrisman covered
the 81 miles of desert road with grades
in places of almost 25 per cent in the
record time of Az minutes with five
passengers besides himself in the car
Chrisman is backed by L. M. Sulli-
van, Tex Rickard, L. L. Patrick, Ole
Elliott and several other prominent
men. They have agreed to put up any
amount from $4,000 to $4,000 for the
race.

Her Friends the Slip
Special to The Herald

NEW BEDFORD, Aug. 20.-The peo-
pie of the quiet town of Marion are in a
furry of excitement over the sensa-
tional escape Of Mrs. William H. Grape
a few minutes after she had ceased to
be Miss Georgia H. Nye. from the house
in which her girl friends were waiting
to pelt her with confetti and pay her
the other attentions that fall to the lot
of the newly wed. Mrs. Crapo was de-
termined before her wedding that she
would give her friends the slip, and
all her effects were packed up and sent
away before the ceremony to the home
of the groom. While the bridal party
were waiting with their rice and con-
fetti an automobile was driven to the
house and two men who alighted went
upstairs and carried down a large
trunk.
About the same time the groom was
seen to leave the house by the back
door in his shirt sleeves. The trunk
was loaded on the automobile and the
crowd watched it drive away. They
were puzzled when they saw Carl Cliff
ford, one of the Lshers who had ac-
companied. the auto, feverishly loosen
ing the straps of the trunk and as
founded when the lid was thrown back
and Mrs. Crapo stepped out. To win
her point she had arranged with her
husband and the usher to be locked into
the trunk and carried out of the house
that way. Mr.. Crapo, still hatless and
coatless. boal ded the car soon after it
left the house, the couple were driven
to his house where they collected their
things, and from there to the railroad
station at Onset.

NO RULE AGAINST PEEKAB0O
Low Neck and Short Sleeve in
His Church Choir
Special to The Herald.


ASBURY PARK, N. j., Aug. 20-No
longer is the congregation of Trinity
Episcopal church to view long necked
and short sleeved gowns among the
fair choristers. Hereafter the young
ladies must appear in dresses of less
abrupt proportion. Complaints have
been made, Rector w. N. Bailey says
and the rule barring the short sleeves
and low cut necks has gone into effect
AS far as Rector Bailey knows the
choristers have accepted with good
grace, although there are rumors of
insubordination among the ranks.
Rector Bailey realizes the comfort of
the loose armed gowns during the heat
of summer. The loose sleeves of the
gowns, it appears, dropped in artisti-
cally when the young ladies raised
their hands frequently to brush back
some disobedient strand of hair. In
this regard Rector Bailey suggests the
simple idea of pinning the sleeves a
little tighter at the wrists with some
becoming trinket The adoption of this
method will obviate any necessity of
new surplices among the young ladies'
No objection has yet been made to
the fashionable open work short
waists.
The Rev. A. L. Longley, a former
rector, enforced the rule regarding the
wearing of hats at church services.
Some of the ladies came to services
hatless, but it was Immediately
stopped.

FIGHTERS ARE
TRAINING HARD
PUcs PREPARE FOR THE COMING
BATTLE
"cycIone" Thompson Takes Up Train
ing Quarters at Arcadia, While
HyIand Goes to Seaside
Town

Fighting Dick" Hyland has been
working hard at the seaside town pre-
pairing for the coming fight with "Cy-
clone" Thompson. Every morning he
does road work along the beach and in
the afternoon goes through thorough
course of boxing with his sparring
partner. Jack Brown.
Brown is one of the many tryout
pugs who have come down from San
Francisco and is now one of the lead
ers in McCarey's pork and bean" bri-
gade.
The San Francisco boy, as an ANA
teur won the championship of the
United States. but since he graduated
from that delegation has failed to do
anything of note.
Hyland is fitting himself for the fight
of his life. but is one of the fighters
that are always in the best of condi-
tion. Both boys are strong and fight
ON the Bat" Nelson order and each is
confident that he will win via the
knockout route in short order.
Thompson with his trainer, Raw
hide" Kelly, has gone to quarters used
by many champions and the little light
weight is preparing himself for the
contest by doing his road work on the
many beautiful paths and roads that
lead to Baldwin's ranch.
During the afternoon he boxes sew
eral rounds with his trainer Kelly,
and with his sparring partner, Kid
| Dalton.
Two strong preliminaries will be ar
ranged bv Uncle Tom McCarey, one
of which will possibly be between
young McGovern and Charley Robin
son. These two will probably be staged
for the first event, while the latter card
has not yet been arranged.
