BOYS CEASE TO
TRAIN FOR FIGHT
BURNS AND THOMPSON READY
FOR FRAY
viii Move to Los Angeles Today and
Rest Up Before Entering the
Maud Junction Fistie
Arena

This is the last day of training for
Jimmy Burns and Cyclone Thompson,
as this afternoon both boys will quit
work in order to rest up before enter
ing the ring for their great battle to-
morrow night.
Both men are trained to the minute
and each declares he Is satisfied with
his condition and confident he will be
able to put up the finest fight in his
career when he climbs over the ropes
and into the arena.
Today will be devoted entirely to light
gymnasium work, and at o'clock this
afternoon the men will break camp and
come to Los Angeles, where they VIII
remain for the night.
Jimmy Burns has made the greatest
improvement during the last few
months and, according to Tommy
Burns, will surprise those who witness
his contest with Thompson. The boy
has become much speedier is clever in
a remarkable degree and has also ini-
proved his punching ability.
Thompson has also greatly improved,
and under the systematic training of
Rawhide Kelly has become speedy to a
great degree. His manager expresses
faith that Thompson will be able to
bring the fight to an end long before
the last round and that the result will
prove far from satisfactory to Jimmy.
Charlie Eyton will referee the fight,
while Tommy Walsh will be the third
man during the preliminary goes.
Two preliminary bouts of more than
usual merit have been arranged. Joe
Riley and Kid Dalton are down for
a ten-round match. Both boys have
many friends in the sporting fraternity
in Los Angeles and should give a good
account of themselves
Billy Locke and Kid Berry will go
been seen here for several months but
he is a slugger and has always done
good work in the ring. Berry has al
ways given q good account of himself,
and the bout should be an interesting
one,

IS JACK O'BRIEN
A RANK QUITTER2
FIGHT FANS SEE SIGNS OF
COLD FEET
In Alleged Dispatch Purportlng to
Come from San Francisco Are
Indications of Fear to
Meet Burns

Whether Jack O'Brien has cold feet
and is anxious to crawl out of his fight
with Tommy Burns is the principal
topic Of discussion among fight fans in
Los Angeles at the present time. Many
Of them profess to believe this is a
fact and that the lanky one from the
Quaker City is a trife fearful of the
even willing to place himself in a bad
light before the fight public in order
to dodge the issue.
According to an alleged special dis
patch purporting to come from San
Francisco, which was published in a
local paper O'Brien is said to have
stated that McCarey had broken the
articles of agreement. According to
O'Brien, he understood the local fight
magnate was to post $4,000 guarantee
in Los Angeles bank by March Is and
that he had not fulfilled that agree
ment, and consequently O'Brien felt at
liberty to call the fight off
So far as O'Brien's understanding
goes he is way off. There is nothing in
the articles of agreement which he and
Burns signed with Tom McCarey in the
latter's office on December %, 1906,
WHICH, Celleu lOI dIly sum W ne DOSleu
by McCarey as a guarantee of the
$4,000 purse.
May Not Fight
According to many fight fans it ap-
pears to be an effort on the part of the
Philadelphia to sneak out of the match
in which he fears he will meet defeat,
and that the writer of the alleged inter-
view with him nobly seconded his ef-
forts.
So far as McCarey is concerned the
local fight followers back him to a
man.
IF Tom McCarey had agreed to de-
posit $4,000 in a certain bank on
certain date the money would have
been there" said one of them last
night. "McCarey has never broken his
word to the patrons of his fights yet
and they have always backed him as a
square, honest man who would keep
his word at all times" 4
Mccarey Is Astonished
When told of the report from San
Francisco McCarey was greatly aston
ished.
"O'Brien wired me some time ago
that he would be here by April r."
McCarey said, land / have been eX-
pecting him. cannot understand what
he means if the statements credited to
him are correct.
There was nothing about $4,000
brought up in connection with the
agreement and do not know where
O'Brien got his idea from. He never
intimated to me he had any such un-
derstanding and I fail to understand
where he got it from. will try to
get in communication with him by
telephone at once and see what he has
to say to me about it.
"I have $50OO one-half of which was
deposited with me by each man, and
if O'Brien refuses to fight his deposit
will save me from any possible loss. If
O'Brien does not wish to fight he does
not have to, but wish he would come
out and tell me. 1 have tried to get
him several times today, but have
failed I am ready and willing to fulfil
my contract"
When shown the reported interview
Tommy Burns expressed surprise and
said it was the first he had heard
about any $4,000 in connection with the
fight.

as much result American train
men receive less than twice as
much wages.
Sec. Wilson of the Department
of Agriculture, said that one
American farm hand produces
more rice than 400 Cinnamon.
Chinese wages are only 10 to -
cents day, but if the rice work
ers of this country got the same
rate for results produced, their
wages would be $44 or S48 per
day, instead of $3.50. Cheap
labor could never produce the
marvellous crops and manufact-
ures of this country. Yet, meas
ured by what it does it is the
cheapest labor on the face of the
earth. 1t is utterly false that
prices are high because wages
are high. Compared with the
prices The consumer pays, wages
are lower than in Europe or
China.
These are hard facts, and as
Abe Lincoln said, "You may fool
some of the people all the time,
and all the people some of the
time, but you can't fool all the
people all the time"

CHARACTER IN THE TONGUE.
Germany's Way of Sizing People Up
Available Chiefly to Doctors.

Germany has taken up the pastime
of reading character and telling for
tunes by the tongue. Somebody has
been making study OF the organ of
speech and has discovered that it is
full Of indications.
A long tongue is said to denote
openneSs of character, it suggests gen
crosby and free handedness. It's pos
SCISSOR makes friends and enemies
easily, but doesn't save money
When the tongue is long and thick
the openness degererates INTO a ten
dency to gossip and scandal. The fu-
ture of the owner is beset with trou-
bles Of his own making. 1t also indi
Gates fightiness and Inconsistency.
Short tongues Indicate secretiveness
and discrimination. Their owners make
good detectives and attorneys.
The owner may acquire some money
by economy and guile, but has not
largeness Of spirit to make a great
fortune. Thin pointed tongues are
found in diffident people who do not
succeed in life.
Short and broad ones accompany
craft and falsehood; the person who
has such tongue is compelled by it
to deceive and Letray. whatever effort
he may make to keep straight.
The vibrant, quavering tongue de-
notes the artistic temperament. Bril-
liant carmine hue is sign of long
life, pale pink tongue denotes weak
ness OF character and delieacy Of con-
stitution,
If it's all true says a German
newspaper, 1T IS lucky that 1t is only
at the doctor and not at our friends
that we stick out our tongues"

Editor ADVERTISER:


catalogue houses instead of pa
tronizing the people at home.
Now in the interest of fair play
and justice, / wish to make a few
remarks.
You say that the same goods
can be purchased of the local
dealer just as cheap. Now l
claim that statement is mislead-
ing and entirely wrong, for just
as soon as the dealers of this
country sell their goods at the
same price the catalogue houses
do, just so soon will the money
stay at home.
Let me ask you a question and
for fear you may not want to
answer it, | will answer it my
self. Why did the Forest Coun-
ty Mercantile Co. work up such
trade in Wabeno that it is a
usual thing even now to see their
delivery man as late as nine
o'clock at night delivering goods
in this end of the town? Because
they undersold the other dealers.
Our local dealers can't com
pete with the catalogue houses
no more than you can compete
with city daily paper, for get
an s page daily paper at the exact
same price that | have to pay for
county weekly.
It is a grand thing for every
town to have plenty of boosters,
but let it be done fair and truth
full. Let our people boost the
soil, the timber, the mills, the
schools and the churches because
they can sincerely do SO, but
don't try to make people believe
what amt so. If Mr.. Himley or
Mr.. Brady will reccomend me to
a store that sells goods at these
prices / will never again patron
ize a catalogue house for any
thing | can buy at home. These
