1t is no light matter to enter into
an engagement in Germany. Cupid
plays by no means the principal part
in the contract. The German law

hand to see that no wrong is, done to
either party, No wonder, therefore,
that an cement is entered into
only a littsless lightly than the
estate of Simony itself. Once the
betrothal feast has taken place the
knot is as good as tied: The one who
breaks the engagement, except for
good reasons, recognized by law as
such, is obliged to pay, not for dam.

for material loss. If the bride has
given up, a lucrative employment in

and so quickly evident that I continued

in the best of health and able to attend

The secret Of the power of DR.. Will

that they make new blood, and every Or

WHY PUGILIsTs "RETIRE. -

We OIleH" Deen asked what becomes
OF the pugilists who drop out - Of
sight, and what they do: when they.
retire, and I've tried to get some
kind of an idea about this very thing.
You've got to understand first of all
that I haven't retired, and that I'm
not going to retire, and that I'm not
SO well up on the points that make a
man realize that he's a dead one.
It's a kind of a tough thing, I
guess for man to sit down and
think he's no more use in the game,
but it hasn't come to me yet, and it
l have anything to do with it, it won't.
I've made pretty fair record as it
is for man of my age, and I don't
think many men can point to a record
OF 1852 fights and two defeats. But
that's outside the, question, and what
we're after now is what becomes of
The men who drop out, either through
defeat or age. I don't know just how
many men over 40 stick to the game.
but there must be mighty few of them.
AS far as-I'ye doped: it out, the. aver
age age at which fighter drops$out is
about IS. II ~ 3
: OF course the real reason behind i,
all, and I know what I'm : talking
about in this case at least, is the
drink. Don't think this is going to
he temperance lecture, for it isn't,
it's just plain common horse sense. I
don't believe any man of fair intelli-
sence would willingly go out to sprain
his arm, or strain a tendon in his leg
Just before he was going to fight. BY
this mean that if a chap was told,
and had learned from experience of
himself or others, that if he lifted Z
heavy box or barrel he would stand .
mighty good chance of getting knocked
cut in his next encounter, he would be
kind of likely to fight shy of it. Fol-
lowing this out, then, it stands to rea-
son that if man goes right ahead
and fills his hide up with whisky,
keeps late hours, and generally dis
sipates, he stands a mighty good
chance to get his head knocked off
within short order.
AS I say, that's not any temperance
lecture, as any man with a bit of
brain in his head can see, but IT'S
mighty close to furnishing a reason
for the boys that drop out long be-
fore they've got any physical right to.
I'm AZ years old, and I've been
through pretty tough battering in
the ring myself, but I'm still here,
and mighty shifty on my feet, at that.
It's an open bet that, barring Jim JEFF
fries, I'm willing to make good heavy
side bet that I'll drop any man in the
ring to-day inside of Is rounds.
couldn't say that if I had lived free
for-all life, and blown in every cent
/! made on wine, women and song.
There's many good man who has
made some thousands in the ring
hunting for a place to sleep at thi:
minute, and he can 60 back in his own
heart and figure out just where he
dropped his money. I'm not that
kind myself, and without blowing my
own horn too freely, can be ex.
cused if I say right here that there's
not man in the fighting business to-
day that's reached my age and is still
champion, with look in for an
other championship - =sz~.s:,-.,
