HIS FIRST ATTACK.

Something's happened to the boy.
He has lost his careless air:
Makes a fuss about his ties
And the way he combs his hair.
Didn't ever used to care
If he never washed his face
All we've all of Us been there
There's a lady in the case.
Used to like to go to school
with his collar quite sight:
Shoes could look like anything
Never tried to wear them bright
Now he makes a holler IL
He's the least bit out OF trim.
Has to fix himself Just so
Since that girl has landed him
For the games he used to play
Doesn't any longer care
Football is the stuff for him.
You can bet. IL she is there
With his colors on her breast
Where the winds with them MAJ
flirt.
For he knows she'll make a fuss
If her darling boy is hurt.
That's the way Ii hits a boy
When ne first discovers there
Is but one girl on the earth
For that matter. anywhere.
Makes him over right away,
Though IL may be quite chore.
So his mother and his dad
Hardly know him any more

Civilizinp a Furnace.
@-E- CtoS '

Kind words are worse than wasted
on n furnace, and sometimes you feel
that coal is also.
Sometimes the man who has yanked
out his back number stoves and sold
them to the rags and old iron man and
put in furnace for the purpose Of
having solid comfort for the rest of his
life finds that he has another guess
coming along with the first cold snap.
There is nothing so perverse as the
furnace that will not do the work ii
was guaranteed to do by the man who
put it there after having given your
bank account nn unpleasant jolt.
Unnatural and unjust laws prevent
you from numbering the cheerful friend
who drops in to tell you how nicely his
furnace works without burning hardly
any coal. You must grit your teeth in
silence and get what warmth you can
out Of the exercise. 1t is then that a
man finds immediate and constant use
for all the long forgotten swear words
that he learned out behind the fence
when a boy.

After Twenty Rounds of
Hard Fighting
~ THE JouRNAL,s speo.al We.

BY THE JOURNALS Special Wire
Los ANGELES, -Sal., Sept. 2S.-Joe
Cans, the champion lightweight Of the
world, was a surprised man when he
climbed out of the ring here last night
with only the referees decision to show
for twenty rounds Of battle with
George Memsic, Of Chicago, Ill.
The spectators came to see the dusky
wonder play with the youth from Chi
cago for "A few rounds and then drop
him senseiess at will, but they were
electrified before the bout had gone
a round Memsic fought just as Young
Corbett did when he dethroned Terry
McGovern. He showed an absolute
disdain for the champions blows and
demonstrated in the first round that
Cans could take no liberties or he
would soon be in peril
Cans started out TO finish the bout
in rush but Memsic tagged him
alongside Of the jaw with such force
that the champion quickly pulled away
and exercised decidedly more caution
In his tactics
Rounds passed and then Memsic be-
gan to force the milling. Cans was
outpointing him, but the lad from the
Windy City was hitting with terrific
force and when he landed Cans showed
by his facial contortion he felt the
wallops Memsic covered much like
Nelson, and never presented his jaw
for Gans's fiashy punch. but he did
stand and fight the champion, and he
awoke this morning and found him
! self classed at the second best light
weight in America.
Cans it Is said will retire from the
ring.
