cisively, though before the battle -3riggs

ing Neary not only forced the game. but
increased his lead and improved in his
style and work until he wore Briggs down
TO such a state that I'm the last few
rounds the Chelsea boy was SO badly
beaten and so weak that he was at times
almost helpless. For the first few rounds
of the battle Briggs walloped Neary hard
and often, and up TO the eighth round
Jimmy did very well. But in the eighth
the Milwaukee boy began to|shine and af-
ter that II was all Neary He was strong
er, cleverer and superior in every way.
In the 10th round Neary landed AN upper
cut to the jaw and Briggs sprawled on the
mat. From then TO the end the only thing
OF interest was the way Briggs stood up

bout at the stag OF the Marlborough Ath-

Carroll has long list of knockouts to

that he would easily dispose of his shifty

OF the time. and after the third round
the crowd began 10 hoot and call to the
men to fight.
Scarcely a score OF blows were struck
throughout the contest, and the ones that
did land were not solid enough TO do
any damage. Smith landed a left jab 10

back soon enough to receive the blow just

A slave. sophi.try.

Frank McGlynn, one of the most
successful and popular employees of
the Baldwin Locomotive works of Phil
adelphia, has succeeded in curing him
self of rheumatism by permitting lot
of bees to sting him.
In discussion Of the bee sting cure,
Mr.. McGlynn said:
THE bees stung me on the inside OF
the forearm. They hurt me of course,
but the hurt, so to speak, did no
harm" He laughed. 1T was like the
case Of the understanding slave down
in Kentucky before the war who, tho
very religious, used to lift a chicken
whenever he got chance.
We'll. one day the slave was caught
red -ihanded in the henhouse, and hailed
before his master.
"'What have you got to say} for
yourself, Calhoun the master de-
manded. You, with your religious pro-
fession, stealing chickens!'
"'Well boss the slave answered,
Abs youahs, an de chickens Is youahs
an hain't dey still youahs, viewer
dey's inside me or outside me?'
Calhoun thought a moment. Then
he concluded:
cor boss, look at hit disaway.
You'se got less chicken, but you'se got
more niggah.'
