BRITT SAYS CANS

MIR. Cans had lost his keeper is because
1t is pretty hard to think that any two
With so little sense as to spring story
what Is SO plainly n fabrication could
have been gotten together on the same

Pretty nearly anybody could have told
Cans what an idiot he was making of
himself II he had taken anybody into
his confidence as to his intention re-
garding me.
But just for the sake of argument,
lets consider the possibilities OF its
being true. In the first place we will
have to eliminate all the testimony OF
the thousands who saw tho battle, All
of them were terribly fooled because
the fight say that hes saw anything
that looked shady In 1t.
Then In order to win the amount of
money which Mr. Cans credits me with
taking out of tho pool-rooms through
betting on him, it would have been nee
essary to take at least three or four men
into my confidence on tho proposition
in order to so tho money bet without at
tracing too much attention.
II the old saying that two cannot keep
@ secret is true. nothing need be said
about the chances OF four or five or n
dozen which would probably have known
of the coup before 1t was wound up. IL
such frame had been planned. The
papers would have been full of 1t long
before this time.
Now about my friends According to
Mr.. Cans diverting little tale, I de-
liberately robbed my trusted companions

friend is an awful thing to take chances
would be the first to turn suspicious il
there had been the slightest ground for
it., and tho much wiser plan would have
been to quietly tip them off that the
fight was Il bad betting proposition.
And now Cans wants to fight me!
Wouldn't you think he would be afraid
OF spotting his stainless reputation by
making match with a man who had
fought fake aid stung his friends?
He probably figured that one fake more
or less In his record won't be missed or
noticed, and If he can give out the Inn
preston that made him fake before
for fear of his beating me he can raise
public clamor that will force me to
fight him again. Well, It's rather diff

Advocated Consular Reform.

1t was In the Forty-ninth Congress
that Chairman Belmont advocated and
reported from his committee a measure
of reform for the United States consular
service which in all It's essential features
has been embraced In similar bill now
pending before Congress. having been in.
troduced In the Senate by Mr.. Lodge and
in the House by Mr.. Longworth. while
Secretary of State Root has earnestly
urged before committees OF both houses
the enactment OF the principles OF the
measure.
The Lodge Longworth bill, along the
SAME lines as Belmont bill Of eighteen
years ago, divides the consuls into sala-
ried classes with slight increase in
the compensation of consuls at the more
important posts. Both sought to provide
salaries commensurate with the needs OF
the country. each having recognized the
serious inadequacy of the consular SER
vice. Having been prepared after careful
consultation with the State Department,
from which Assistant Secretary James
ID. Porter. of Tennessee. rendered valu-
able aid, the Belmont bill marked a dis
tinct ea of enlightened effort to advance
and promote the commercial interests
and raise the dignity OF the United States

the rest of the world.

quently liking for that romantic type
of studio 80 loathed by the sensible,
hard working artist who is justly de-
fined as the real thing. The novice
mistakes great display of arnor and
plate and superfuous draperv for the
natural expression of the artistic tenn
permanent. "Tomfoolery" is the word
used by the real artist in describing
such absurdities. The man or woman
fired with true ambition wants clean
illness, reasonable order and the proper
tools-an apartment more like car
penter shop than drawing room. The
girl student needs warning against
such foolish attempts to be what she
considers artistic in her studio, just
as much as she does against the un-
kemptness of surroundings frequently
commented upon. Since she often
cooks and sleeps and draws in the same
small quarters, it is essential that dish
es be washed, couches set in order and
clothes put away. Yet how frequent
ly that nauseating, altogether impossi-
BILE suggestion of food lying around

him wonder how anything beautiful
can by chance be created there, how
budding genius or small talent can de-
velop in such an atmosphere.
