Wrestling



Fred Beell, the crackajack light
heavyweight wrestler, bars nobody
in his challenges, and hopes to prove
to the public that he can defeat either
Piening or Jenkins under even condi-
tons. His manager, Harvey Parker,
shares the same belief, and Is ready
to bet Oh him in the match with the
Butcher Boy" which will probably
be the athletic event of the year.
Piening has always been backed by
the wholesale and retail butcher
trade, and since he has been in the
cafe and bowling alley business, the
brewers and bowlers are now just as
enthusiastic over his work as a
wrestler.
Although it is not generally
known, the Butcher Boy" has de-
feated a great many good men under
catch-as-catch-can rules, while meet
ing all nm on the road during his
theatrical career, and in his handicap
macth, which he lost against George
Bothner a few years ago at Grand
Central Palace. he even surprised his
most ardent admirers by gaining two
straight falls from the champion in
quicker time than Tom jenkins did
in a similar match.
AS Bothner and Piening are now
better friends they will probably
train together for the double event,
which is being arranged, Bothner to
meet Parker and the Graeca-Roman
champion to meet Fred Beell.
Young Hackenschmidt," the "Ba-
varian Tiger" who will appear
against some worthy opponent the
same night, will do all the rough
house with Piening to make him fast
and aggressive.

MAKING Paper Dolls.


Paper dolls always give delight,
particularly If little ingenuity is dis
played in making the faces little
different from ordinary dolls faces.
Sheet cardboard not too thick is the
best material for making these dolls,
and the easiest way to mark them
out is to cut a pattern from heavy
cardboard, lay it on the thin card
board and draw around it with pen
Gil. Mark an entire sheet at once.
When the figures are cut out paste a
scrap picture head on each one, leav-
ing the neck of the scrap picture free
and unattached The top of the dolls
dress slips under this neck and is
thereby aided to remain securely in
place. With pen, pencil or brush
draw the lines to represent the under
clothes. The stockings are usually
painted with a dull black water color,
though there is no reason why they
may not be painted red and. further
adorned with stripes or dots A good
effect is secured by painting the
shoes in gold paint. Slippers may be
painted black and ornamented with
bows or buckles. The foundation of
the dress should be cut out of heavy
cardboard and marked around on writ
ing paper. White is the best color.

DIANA >
IF7IEIQIZR[E q
COOKIE

Once an artist had a lovely grey
hound named Diana. who was a great
pet of his. Then some one gave him
a fine Angora cat called Fluff.
At first Diana and Fluff were just as
bad hammered as most of their kind,
but at last the painter, by petting
them both at the same time, coaxed
them to become intimate.
After that, each winter evening Di-
ana would lie on the floor before the
fire and Fluff would curl between his
paws in the cosiest manner.
Soon there came new member of
the family-a little turtle-dove named
Coo-ee. Now, you know both dogs and
cats generally will try to kill birdie,
SO the artist was much worried how
his three pets would get along.
To make them friends he would
take Fluff and Coo-ee on his knees at
the same time, and then call Diana
to lay his head beside them. In this
way the three soon learned to love
one another, and soon each evening
the turtle-dove went to sleep with her
strange companions, just as you see
in the picture-Fluff lying close to Di-
ana and Coo-ee perched on Fluff's
back.
This singular friendship lasted sew
eral years. Not only would the three

A Problem.

A man bought so chickens at the
rate of for 81, making them cost $24.
A week later he wished to sell them,
and divided them in two equal lots.
The first he sold at the rate of 8 for
81, which equaled $40, and the other
half he sold at the rate of 2 for 81,
which amounted to SIS. BY this trans
action he sold them for 50. and yet
made 81 on the whole.
Solution: He bought go chickens at
the rate of for 50, making s24 Sold
half at rate of 2 for 81, making SIS

Famous Hunter.

II is strange, but also true, that the
greatest bear hunter in Siberia is a
young girl. You boys who sneer at
the cowardice of girls take well note
of this fact. The brothers of this
young girl were hunters, and, hearing
them talk about their thrilling expert
ences when they were out bear hunt
ing, made her decide that she would
try and see what she could accom-
plish in this direction. She stole off
alone to hunt her first bear-for she
knew how her brothers would tease
her had she made her wish known to
them. The brothers did not tease;
they were astonished when their sis
ter returned, bringing home an enor-
nous skin. After that, she went when
ever she chose, sometimes with her
brothers and sometimes by herself,
until she became famous all throughs
out Siberia.
The name of this girl is Anna Pc
treVnara.

Somebody will be sure to'try it, and
the knife will be almost eqlally sure
to strike the floor to one side or the
other of the walnut. The fact is that
it Is quite impossible for the ordinary
human eye to gauge such a matter as
this accurately.
After everybody who wishes has
tried and failed, you thrust the knife
into any part of the upper part of the
doorway as before, and then fill a
glass with water. Raise it to the
knife and let the knife handle get
wetted thoroughly. Then withdraw it.
Some of the water on the knife
handle will run down and drip off. Put
the walnut where the water drops on

that you will guarantee to lay wal

ton that the knife will hit it surely
when it is made to drop by hitting the
doorway a whack with the fist enough
to loosen it.
But first. as you do not wish 10 be

else who thinks that he has a good

he thinks the knife will drop.

A most successful amusement in
which children and grown-ups take

You order them first to stretch the

second, to kneel down on one knee

One of the most remarkable and in.

strength of the human frame is that in

WORK FOR THE HANDY BOY.


This used to be a favorite outdoor
observer 1t appears rather dangerous
sort of sport, but it is not so; with
little practice it is extremely easy.
Many Of the shepherds in the desert
of Landes, in the south of France, use
them with perfect freedom and great
rapidity; constant habit enables them
to preserve their balance so well that
they run, jump, stoop and dance with
the greatest ease and security. They
are by their stills enabled to see their
focks at much greater distance, over
a perfectly fiat country, their feet be-
ing protected from the water during
the winter and the heated sand in
summer. In addition to the stills, they
use long staff, which they carry in
their hands; this guards them against
an accidental trip, and forms a third
leg when they require rest.
To make stills: Procure two poles
about six or seven feet long, and nail
on a strap of leather. about one-third
from the bottom of each; into these
the feet are placed, the poles being
kept in a proper position by the hands
and moved forward by the action of
the legs. A wooden step. however, is
better. and 1t gives greater firmness to
the tread: it is nailed or screwed to
the poles. But the best of all are those
that do not reach the hands. but are
secured to the leg just below the knee
by strap. the footstep being the same
as shown in the illustration. With the
addition of long staff, any boy could
soon manage to walk in safety upon
them.
