Today no RESTLESS happy feet
Go patter, patter, patter;
Today no chubby baby hands
Send every thing a-scatter;
Today the birds sing glad outside,
Rose petals scatter far and wide,
Perfumes drift through the door and bide;
But, oh, what does it matter.
No lifting, happy baby laugh
Awakes my heart to laughter;
go about my work, but hear
No wee feet patter after;
Though all the world is bright with due
And blossoms that a baby knew,
My life, my soul, is full of rre
Lies dooe has shut on laughter.

Herra obstlnate

Pavilion, Los Angeles, MAY 90
There was no fight between Battling
Nelson, the light weight champion,
and AurellO Herrera here last night
as scheduled. After an almost inter.
minable wait of two and a half hours
the crowd was dismissed because
Herrera refused to weigh In.
Before the crowd Of $500 was fin.
ally eliminated there was a suuabble
between the fighters and their man
ayers over the weight. Both sides
made charges Of sharp practices.
The articles of agreement called
for the fighters in at O'Clock D. m,
10th men to scale 131 pounds. The
nen were on hand at the stipulated
hour. The scales were out of order
and Herrera claimed that they could
not be adjusted. After half an
hours argument, Jacobs sent Her
rera TO dinner. After that he refused
tC allow the Mexican to weigh in.
Nelson offered TO go to the baths to
weigh in but Jacobs objected.
At the ring side Nelson offered to
fight Herrera at 14O pounds, rather
than disappoint the crowd.

for a later occasion, and no one would
be called upon save the regular speakers.
He wished the men to go to their homes
promptly and thus escape the wrath OF

yoked commissions of applause and laugh

promptly so ms to prevent the introduce
ton Of home rule such as is In vogue In
