Prize Fighters Verdict on His Portion
Of the Steak.

Richard Harding Davis. when he was

to disguise himself as tough" young
man and to mingle with the odd char
acters of the Ninth street district OF
the Quaker City.
Mr.. Davis got to know this district
with peculiar intimacy. Its prize
fighters he knew especially well. Not
seldom, in the gathering of some news
item. he would accompany third
rate pugilist to his cheap boarding
house and dine with him on the most
unpalatable fare.

Mr.. Davis recently. who was char

serves the dishes to the submissive
pensioners ranged in two lines below
her.
MY friend got a piece of steak that
was full of grstle. Finding this steak
tolerable tough he began to amuse us
all with burlesque attempts at carving
it. He turned back his cuffs and
carved. Then he took off his coat.
Then he held his knife like chisel
and pretended to hammer the handle
with biscuit.

had been too busy serving to notice
the pugilist's antics. Now she spoke
up.

Two medical students living in San

a tanning company of West Berkeley,
Cal, recently and asked him to pre-.
pare some human skin for commercial
purposes with them they had two
pieces Of cuticle. one about a foot
square and the other trile smaller,
which they admitted they had stripped
from body in dissectns room.
They said they intended making slip

declined. Other tanners have also
been approached by embryo physi-
clans engaged in the ghoulish traffic.
II is alleged that articles made from
the skin of men and women have been
carried from California to all parts
of the Union. When tanned the skin
of a man is worth about $500. The
skin is soft and pliable, resembling in
many respects the chamois.
