1t is a mistaken idea to think
that cold air is necessarily pure.
Many persons have the idea that
because their houses are cold in
the morning that the air is fresh,
but the very opposite may be true
if the windows have been closed
during the night. This same
doctrine applies to stables where
stock is kept. Cold air IS not
necessarily purer than warm viii
ated air.

EXPLAINING HIS MISTAKE.
How the Druggist Happened to Put
UP Morphine for Quinine.

From the Chicago Daily News
was In q village of about a thousand in
habitants In Iowa, and knowing that had
taken cold l went to the only drug store
and asked for quinine. l was given the
powder and the druggist seemed SO much
f1ustered that when got back to the hotel
made up my mind not to take the drug
This occurred in the evening. At o'clock
the next morning the druggist came around
and asked to see me and said:
by the way. you asked for some qu!nine
last night?"
Yes
Did you take it?"
"No"
I'm glad Of it. I'm quite sure put you
up morphine. Let me see the stuff Yes,

We'll. I'd just got word that my wife

Next to Sullivan, the most popular fighter
of modern times was Terry McGovern. He
was u sort of Sullivan in miniature, a
wonderful puncher, a man who won de-
cisve victories, who polished off the best
men who could be found in jig time. Young
Corbett, who knocked out Terrible Terry
and gave the ring one of its greatest upsets,
never attained one-tcnth OF the following
that was McGovern's, and even when they
met the second time the public actually
made McGovern favorite though, OF
course. Corbett won again.
Jack Dempsey was a wonderful favoritc,
and many sportsmen were unreasonable
enough to dislike Fitzsimmons because 1t
was from Dempsey that he took the middle
weight championship. Fitz was a marvel
Gus man, who held both middle weight and
heavyweight titles, yet he never was in
the class Of Dempsey for public worship.
The most popular Of all the figures in
international catching is Sir Thomas Lip
ton. No previous challenger for the cup
but the geniality and heartiness of the Irish
leans to the idea of his some day lifting the
cup.

The opening of the grand circuit trot-

of trotting horses in the world.
Geers has maintained his skill with the
ribbons for q longer period than any other
driver ever did, and to this day he man
ages to come out at the end of the season

money than any of his younger rivals
Public admiration comes to jockey when
he IS winning. Lately Jockey Miller has beer
the worshiped of the bettors just as Tod
Sloan once had a following that would
have bet It's money on his mount had he
taken a horse from the front of an ice
cart and entered the Suburban with 1t.

and been on the level. Without these two
essential qualities no man ever becomes q
