NOTHING DOING SAYS s BATTLING NELSON
The Dane Will Not Cut Loose from Nolan Under Any
 Circumstances.

DULUTH, Dec. 11.-"Not for sl00,- 900 purse would cut loose from No Ian as long as he is giving me the square deal he always has since l first hooked up with him, said Bat ting Nelson in his dressing room at the Metropolitan last night when shown the telegram from New York concerning the Richards offer.
 Tex blew into New York and stated his willingness to put up a $40,000 prse if the Battle would cut loose from his manager for the one flight at least, but, according to Nelson, Richards money is safe unless he changes his tune. T would like to know where Rickard got that hunch about wonder ing how I stood the awful beating Cans gave me? Now just let me tell you this, the only questaion for won derment is how Cans managed to keep his feet at all under the punishment he received. As for me l was as fresh as newly plucked rose the morning after. Not even stiff in the joints. The one mark Cans left on me was little swelling on the side of my cheek and that had almost disappeared.
 But as to Nolan. Billy has been handling me for two years now and l have made more money than 1 ever hoped to corral. I have made money for him and he has made it for me. I like him and l guess he likes me. hope so. If anybody wants to make match with me he can make it through Billy or not at all. To me his word is better than the cash bond of any business man I know of and don't believe you can find anybody who can say differently.
 When the fight trust people in Frisco first wanted me to go on with Cans they told me 1 would have to cut loose from Nolan, but it wasn't long before they were down on their knees to me out in Salt Lake City try ing to get me to go OF under their auspices under any circumstances, but it was too late then. No they have got to sing different tune before they get me to cut loose from Nolan. Moth ing doing on that score"

THE R|CE. .HARD|KER

Rice, Recipient of the Election Certificate, Declares for a

 So said Ben Rice, successful demo cratic nominee for justice or the peace, whose election is now being contested by George Hardiker on the ground that 27 ballots were thrown out of the box and 27 others placed in. It is a fair manly statement and is characteristic of the man. He sald further:

The returns show that l am elected and have every reason to be lieve that was elected fairly. l am getting ready to defend my interests, together with the party which has honored me, and then if it develops that anyone can show me this fraud my opponents allege. will make good on the proposition to retire from the race and assist in the prosecution oi the responsible parties"

MISQUoTED PHRASES.

Do you know that the word dude"
comes from the English word 'duds,"
which means clothes? Hence, dude
is one very fond of clothes.
Do you know tat the expression
Sure as eggs is eggs" was never
meant to be as ungrammatical as ii
sounds? The original was sure as X
Is X.
Do you know why foolscap paper is
so called? When Charles l was king
of England, only certain people were
allowed to manufacture paper, and it
all had to bear the royal arms. Parli-
ament made sport of the law, and or
dered FOOLS cap and bells to be used
instead.
Do you know the origin of the
phrase Cup Salt River?" Before steam.
navigation along the Ohio was carried
on by fiatboats, which were rowed up
stream. This was particularly hard
work, especially up Salt river, dan
gerous, crooked branch of the Ohio
river in Kentucky. When slaves were
to be punished, this was a common
method employed by their owners.
Hence, at election times, people refer
to sending the defeated candidates
up Salt River" as a penalty.

"It's Diamond Cut Diamond NoW!"
Dick brushes the dust from his
clothes. Beyond few slight bruises
he has not suffered to any extent from
THE rough treatment to which he has
just been subjected. Something like
a snake is under his foot-he puts his
hand down and discovers the lariat
which his absconding enemy forgot
to take with him in his fight, and
which Dick now proceeds to wind
around his body underneath his sack
coat-at least it will be positive evil
dence as to the truth of his story.
He walks on, one hand touching a
trusty revolver carried now in the
pocket of his loose coat, through
which he would not hesitate to fire if
necessary. Thus Dick is prepared for
all corners; he does not know how
many similar traps Lopez may have
set.
He soon reaches the Iturbe and
passes in. One of the first persons he
sees is Colonel Bob, and the latter

Of course Bob eagerly demands the
story, and drawing him to one side,
Dick gives it in his usual terse way.
During the recital Bob mods his head
now and then as though it is only
what he has been expecting all the
while.
"If we have this trouble here, what
will it be when we go to the mine?"
he says, finally.

REPAIRING BRAIN
A Certain Way by Food.

Every minister, lawyer, journalist
physician, author or business man Is
forced under pressure of modern con-
ditions to the active and sometimes
overactive use of the brain.
Analysis of the excreta thrown out
by the pores shows that brain work
breaks down the phosphate of potash,
separating it from its heavier compan-
ion, albumen, and plain common sense
teaches that this elemental principle
must be introduced into the body anew
each day, if we would replace the loss
and rebuild the brain tissue.
We know that the phosphate of
potash, as presented in certain field
grains, has an affinity for albumen and
that is the only way gray matter in the
brain can be built. 1t will not answer
to take the crude phosphate of potash
Of the drug shop, for nature rejects it.
The elemental mineral must be pre-

THE WHITE PAINT OF THE
WHITE HOUSE.

The White House at Washington.
which has been the "Kings Palace"
of the American People since it wasI
first occupied by President MadisoA
in 1909, ha; cscently undergone
thorough course of remodeliing, reno
walton and repair. Every American
citizen is owner of an undivided
the White House, as well as of the
other Public Buildings and Monuments
in the Capitol City. An item in the
renovation of the remodelled White
House was repainting. Every visitor
to Washington knows why the White
House is so called-because it is lit
orally white house" The exterior
paint must therefore be white. Now
while the pure white surfaces and sim
pie lines of the White House, set in
the midst of green lawns and beauti.
full trees, produce very satisfying
effect of dignified simplicity, white
paint from practical point of view,
is about the most unsatisfactory kind
of paint that could have been selected
by the original designers. First, be-
cause any white paint is easily dis
colored by smoke and dust, and sec
ond, because ordinary white paint
itself gradually turns gray or brown
ish yellow from exposure.
But white the White House is and
white it must remain or it would no
longer be the white House.. So the
renovators, making the best of dis
couraging situation, sought for the
best kind of white paint procurable.
The average citizen if asked to guess
what kind Of paint they finally decid-
ed on would probably answer-"white
lead and OIL" but he would guess/
wrongly. The paint selected as the
best obtainable was ready mixed
paint, such as can be bought in any
we'll furnished village store, such as
is used by more than half of the
eighty or eighty-five million owners
of the White House on their own
homes. That one brand of mixed
paint was used instead Of another is
a mere accidental detail-there are
fifty or a hundred brands on the
market that might have been selected
in other circumstances, and in fact,
different brand was used in paint
ing the Capitol.
Every property owner, therefore.
who paints his house with high
grade ready-mixed paint is following
the example set by the Government
Authorities at Washington, who used
ready-mixed paint, because they could
find nothing else as good.

FREAKS OF FORTUNE.

Ulysses Grant would not have been
a military man had it not been that
his rival for a West Point cadetship
had been found to have six toes on
each foot instead of five.
Oliver Cromwell was once on board
a ship bound for America, but he was
taken back by a constable, and the re-
suit was that he became one of the
greatest men England ever knew.
Abraham Lincoln, after being a
member of congress, desired to secure
a clerkship in Washington, but he was
defeated by Justin Butterfield. He
was disappointed, but had he not
been defeated he would have spent
his life in obscurity instead of becom-
ing president of the United States.

a point that it even interferes with
his breathing. He has become flushed
in the face, and half shakes his fist
after the retreating form of his enc
mics.
"A rope around my neck-the old
reptile swinging from the limb of an
oak--the fate OF a dog-yes, ! will re-
member, you grngo hounds-it is you
who will meet that doom. Carramba!

ned for years and travelled half over
the globe in search of that New York
en- by such jackals? Carajo! dozen
lives such as yours would not swerve
me from the set purpose of my life.
You have chosen; you stand up before
Manuel Lopez as his foes; you shall
die!"
With which revengeful remark he
sinks away, this bogus padre who
wears holy garments and breeds
hatred, malice, ay, murder, in his
heart.
Bob finds seat outside, where he
can watch the people pass and hear
the dreamy notes of music. 1t stirs
him at times to deeds of valor. and
again lulls him to rest. Just at pres
ent he feels the latter sense steal over
him.
The City of Mexico generally
awakens at night from the sleep that
comes upon her during the heated
portion of the day, as is the case in
all warm, sub-tropical countries. From
four in the afternoon until midnight
gayety abounds-flrst the drive, the
promenade. then after supper music
thIobs upon the air in scores of quar-
tiers.
Just at this time some unusual sea-
son of festivity, perhaps a religious
holiday, of which they have many, is
being fifty ended. Crowds pass the
Iturbe, gayly dressed crowds that
seem full of laughter and good nature.
The Mexican people are fond OF
amusement-they abominate work. A
bull fight will draw tens of thousands
to witness il, although IT Is not so
popular of late years. since other
forms OF pleasure. such as the circus
and theater, give them chance to
shout and laugh without the brutal
\ features that are necessary adjunct
TO the battle with an enraged bull. q.
While Bob stands and takes It all
in, he hears his name called in a
