'Ryan's excellent shaving with Bar
ry." says George Siler, who refereed
the mill at Hot Springs the other day,
must be attributed TO the latter's
slowness. Still Ryan's work was Of
such a high-class character that he
should receive due credit.
Ryan will be 81 years old next
month and therefore Is the oldest
fighter in the business. His style Of
milling is such that he can stall. fe.nt
an opponent to do almost as he wishes
and compel any of the younger gene--
alton OF pugilsts to fight themselves
tired trying to beat him. His easy
and quick defeat of Barry does not
prove that he can defeat Hugo Kelly
without putting forth his host efforts,
but It demonstrated that he is stiu an
important factor in the game and that
any man who beats him viii know
that he has been in the fight.
Ryan IS practically matched with
Kelly and win probably take him on
before he agrees to a match with Joe

a Verse From Solomon Told of Mar

When she left her home in the small
town to come to New York to take up
q special course of study her pet sis
ter was fast reaching the crisis Of
love affair The pet sister was most
winsome young lady and had long kept
a goodly train of suitors assigning,
Was this affair to be the grand affair?
The older sister hoped so, for she liked
the young man cordially-thought he
was just the sort to make a proper
brother-in-law.
But the weeks passed, and not a bit
of definite news about the progress Of
the affair did the older sister receive
In her city boarding house She be-
came anxious. Louise, she thought,
must not go on recklessy trifling in
such important matters.
Then one night about 10 o'clock, just
as she was going to bed, came a tele-
gram. The servant brought it up.
The elder sister was country girl
enough to be thoroughly frightened by
the pale manila, black linked envelope
How ominous it looked. At length she
gathered courage to open it. This is
what she read:
Solomon six three. LOUISE.
Solomon six three! Whatever in the
world! Oh, why, yes, stupid, it of
course meant the Song of Solomon,
sixth chapter, third verse! But-and
her cheeks flushed with shame-she
had no Bible
There was a great scurrying about
the boarding house to find a copy Of
the sacred book. The girls were rout-
ed out In vain. On all sides the cry
arose, "Who's got Bible?" Just think
Of the sister trying to sleep that night
without knowing what that verse was
1t would have been just like woman
to lie down to pleasant dreams, content
to know that she could satisfy her Gu
riosity In the morning-not!

THE POOR CAT,
One Occasion When the Animal Did
Not Come Back.

When the cat died the whole family
went into mourning, fguratively if not
literally. No common back door cat
this, but one that must be buried with
all honor. The question was how and
where.
Some one proposed cremation, but
this was rejected on the ground that
It sounded too much like lynching. 1t
was finally proposed that the father,
who had to cross ferry every day to
his place of business, should drop it
overheard, and as burial at sea rath-
sr appealed to the sentimental attitude
If the family this idea was received
favorably.
The following morning the remains
of the cat were made into package
and securely tied. 1t was a lovely day,
and the ferryboat was crowded with
passengers, and what had seemed so
simple at home assumed unepected
difficulties in the face Of a curious
crowd, ready to imagine anything and
to put the worst construction on an ap-
parently mysterious action.
Finally it occurred to the father that
the best time would be the evening,
md he could slip the cat overheard
without attracting notice In the dusk.
Through the day it occupied a corner
Of his office, and he was glad when the
/ time came for the return trip.
He waited until the boat was well
out in the stream and then, glancing
around furtively, laid his hand on the
package. Suddenly it struck him what
would seem strange in broad daylight
would seem doubly so at night.
! With a smothered groan he replaced
1t on the seat beside him. There was
no help for 1.-THE would have to carry
It home again.
AS he took his seat in the train that
was to convey him the rest of the way
he placed the cat on the shelf above
his head and for the first time that
day forgot all about it. Hurrying to
get off the car when he reached his
destination, he was halted by some one
behind him, who thrust into his hand
the Ill fated package.
When he reached his house he threw
it down on chair in the hall and went
In to supper. In the middle of it the
maid came in and asked how she
should cook the meat he had brought
with him?"
Meat he exclaimed THAT isn't
meat It's
But at this moment the maid pro
duced the package and showed him q
choice piece of meat History does not
say what the man said who got the
cat-New York Sun.

The Perfect Servant.

The thoroughly trained English serv
ant is in his way the most perfect kind
Of servant to be found anywhere, and
in his station and for his duties he is
not to be matched in the world. Where
will you find any men SO competent in
their work, so completely trained and
apparently emotionless In manner, so
punctual, so clean, so smart, as an
English butler, coachman, footman or
valet? Certainly not on the continent

Canada or In Australia. Country Life

the creeks and bays of the South Caro-

mer:
Near Cape Finisterre there lived a
fisher maiden In days when the world
asked fewer questions than now, and
with her lived her fisher sweetheart
On their wedding night, runs the yarn,
smugglers came down on their village
a thieving, drunken band. When they
left, having done all the damage they
could, the fisher maiden's sweetheart
had disappeared, whether with them
or through them was never known.
Instead Of pining uselessly, as would
most women, she dressed herself in
mems clothes and started to find him,
dead or alive.
For years she wandered over the
earth and ocean, and, though her dis
guise was penetrated several times
and she passed through host Of trou-
bles which vary with each telling, she
succeeded in keeping up her hunt FL
nally after escaping from an English
prison the vessel she was on was lost

TWO MINUTE SKETCHES
George Washington.
In all things q
just and noble
man.
BY j.. Il. EDGE RTO.W.

DE~R He success Of George Washing
Y ton seemed to spring from his
well rounded character, from
his unseltishness, from his dis
interested patriotism and from his abil-
ity to inspire in others confidence and
esteem. In war he excelled as
strategist, in peace as wise and mod
crate statesman, in all things as just
and noble man. 1t would be impos
sible to place ones finger on any par
ticular spot in his career and say.
'"This was the turning point; this was
the place at which Washington was
made Move than almost any other
| character In history he was in all re-
| lations the great man, yet it is most
difficult to analyZe him and tell the
particular thing that made him great
Too modest to make a speech, too self
depreciatiye to seek his own advance
ment, his deeds caused him to shine
over all orators, and his virtues ad-
vanced him over all self seekers. Few
men have received so much adulation,
and from this there has been q reac-
ton, yet after all that criticism can
do the massive proportions of the man
still stand out to challenge the atten-
ton of the world.
At the time he was chosen to COM
mand the Continental armies Washing
ton had rendered no especially con-
spicuous service to single him out
from his fellows. His selection for
that high post was rather due to the
general esteem in which he was held.
There are few examples in which the
individual integrity that we usually
ldenominate character counted so much
for success as in the case of Washing
ton.
He had prodigious temper, yet held
it in check; he loved wealth and pos
Esessed more of it than almost any 9th
er man in the colonies, yet he would
not accept pay for his military serv-
ices; he met severe reverses in his
campaign, yet was too great to be
crushed by them; he had conspicuous
hfaults that would have destroyed a
smaller man, yet his general rectitude
was so great that it dwarfed the minor
i defects.
There is a general sentiment in man,
kind that worth means success. Our
faith in this proposition is often shak,
