they get licked It's not always be-
cause they meet a better man; it's
just as often because they meet
man who is just as good as they were
once, and that they re not as good as
they used to be. That gives the other
fellow an edge on them that counts
for whole lot. Then comes the time
when they know right inside them
selves that they've done their best, and
that they're sliding down the wrong
side. They find they're getting slow,
and that their eyes aren't as good or
as quick, and their muscles don't
work the same, and-then they re-
tire.
ThAt's the tough part OF 1t. Some
OF them make provision for what they
see coming, but they're mighty few
and far between. A few of them an
nounce that they've decided that the
fighting game is too rough and coarse
for them, and that they think they'll
go on the stage and wind up as act
ors. That pans out mighty seldom.
for while a fellow is at the top or
near the top, he's valuable as drawing
card, but when his popular drawing
value is gone, he's not enough OF an
actor to make good on that line alone,
and the finish comes when the show
goes on the rocks, or he gets a gentle
hint that he's a dead one, and the
show can get along without him. It's
the wise man that knows enough to re-
tire when he feels it coming on, or
that has another good job up his
sleeve where he can hike and go right
on earning money
As think I said, many men retire,
and we never hear of them again,
while others manage to get along do
ing odd jobs or touching their friends.
Go back over the list of fighters you
used to know, 10 or Is years ago.
Where are they? What are they do
ing? How many of them can you put
your finger on and say: "That old boy
is doing pretty we'll in his old age?"
How many of them have just dropped
out of sight and have never been
heard of again? I'd hate to have to
make up list. Go back eight years,
and find the old-timers who were
headed up the ladder. Whefa are
they? Gone, and not a jot does the
general public care where.
You've got to go back to first pr1n-
c1ples in the fighting game, as in every
thing else. If you burn the candle
at both ends, you're going to have
light but little while. Maybe it'll
be bright and fancy while it lasts, but
it won't last long. The fighter gets
il worse than any other class of men.
Principally because he's depending on
his physical powers to keep him to
the front, and the minute he hurts
those, he sinks his value to himself.
It's just like having $1,000 in the bank.
and then putting on steam, and see
ing Just how fast it will go. The
man of the ring who dissipates is
craving down on his principal all the
time, and when the physical bank
ruptcy comes, he's not cent to meet
il, and goes broke. Maybe that's long
winded, but it's matter that | can't
stop talking about when I get started.

ENGAGEMENTS IN GERMANY
Jilting Expensive to the One Who
Jilts-Gir1s Taking UP .
Careers.

It 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
grim, practical, relentless-is close at
hand to see that no wrong is done to
either party. No wonder, therefore,
that an engagement is entered into
oAly a little less lightly than the
estate of matrimony 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
aged affections or broken heart, but
for material loss. If the bride has
given up a lucrative employment in
the prospect of marriage she must be
compensated, and all moneys spent
by parents or guardians for the trous-
seau, the wedding breakfast, ETC., must
be made good.
On the other hand, the bride-to-be
who jilts her fiance without good
cause is required to make good to him
any lOSS lS may nave
through her influence, as in exchang-
ing a good business for one less lucra-
tive in order to be near her; renting
house in prospect of marriage or
entering into any contract in which
money is involved. All such claims
must be established within two years.
The majority of women over men
in Germany is more than 100000. In
the small towns, therefore. the prob
lem Of marrying the young girls is
getting to be very serious one.
When a hostess wishes to give ball
or a small dance she finds that for
so or 60 young girls she can find only
about six young men. For this reason
the boys in the high schools and gym
nasia are permitted to go out early,
although it is openly acknowledged
that it is not good for them to be
thus distracted from their work. The
number of girls training for business
or professional careers increases every
year as their chances Tor marriage de-
crease.-N. Y. Tribune.

A CHILD's BOOK PLATE.

one, and as such, material for certaAS
styles of decoration, when it is multi
piled and made to obey certain laws
of symmetry which the natural flower
would not serve. A naturalistic pres~
entation may be equally serviceabIe
for another form of decorative use,
as the bunch of grasses, obeying by
natural inclination the shape of the
round in which it is placed There the
selection Of quantity and the proper
tons of the whole space supply the
decorative element
The Japanese show us how nat
ural form may obey decorative treat
ment. The landscape by well consid-
cred spaces and reduction to few
planes also serves in half-realistic
decoration.
1t will be seen from the example
shown that all unnecessary details and
graduations of tone have been sacri-
feed to this giving Of a few we'll
shaped masses that cut the whole
space into pleasant and unconven-
tional proportions. In such arrange-
ment the allotment of color will be
seen to be arbitrary as far as local
color is concerned, and is used only
to obtain a decorative balance. OF
course where it is so contriyed as to
represent the actual local color or
marking ingenuity of design is gained.
Book Plate Designs.
The child's book plate is figure
motif given with freedom of line and
almost natural treatment, relying
upon the symmetrical rendering of the
whole mass to give it the character its
purpose demands.
1t is suggested to give the child
forms and spaces to fill with decora-
ton from motives to be decided upon
or to be left to the child's selection.
Try to direct the child's taste in tho
way of the big and simple. Guard
against too realistic 'r overworked
rendition, and where possible keep be-
fore the child good models, which ia
these days ola wider and broader ap-
probation of esthetics ought not to ne
so scarce

of view, differing in time and with

view is open to dispute. Criterions of
taste may be fixed for certain people
by the classics of that people. A
broad catholicity of taste is able to
recognize the good in the art of any
people, but that is not fixing the style

principles of the Orientals OF the

The present article is intended to
give an application of the foregoing
use of symbol forms to decorative
treatment. Decoration is to be under
stood as the application of form, line
or color to surface for it's beautifica-

is considered for the especial use of
the surface or object offering chance

expression of the decorative instinct
will often find that it is opposed to
this realistic expression, and the same
with those pupils who can see art
only in the realistic way. The dec

to them. This is the same difference
in temperament which has shown
itself at so many other points in the

that the decorative is the higher order
