must obey the rules absolutely or be
chucked out, which would mean his
probable defeat at the hands of Kill
rain and the desertion OF the friends
who were trying to keep him in the
championship. John L. trained under
Muldoon and found Kilrain easy.
Regularity did it.
Kid Mccoy and other pugilists were
put in shape by Muldoon to their aG-
vantage. But prize fighters have
formed only small percentage of
Muldoon's list of patients. Rich New
York clUbmen and society men, Wall
streeters and professional giants have
gone to Muldoon's with their livers
damned up and their tongues wearing
overcoats in August. They have un-
dergone the six weeks or so of null
booming and come away feeling like
new men.
There are two things which Profess
or MuldoOn hates as chicken mates
a rattEesnake. Whisky is one and
cigarettes the other No whisky gets
past his threshold, and a cigarette
can't come within smelling distance.
Muldoon was walking on Eighth ave-
nue., in New York, one day when four
boys, all smoking cigarettes, passed by.
Look at those boys" he remarked
to a friend. ''That is an evil that
ought to be suppressed. Cigarettes
are the bane of a boys life. Give me
a lad who knows nothing of them or
the taste of beer and liquor, and I'll
give you the making of a big, strong
and healthy man. l take a great in
terest in little chaps and do everything
[ can to encourage their ideas of sport.

away from vice and to learn to box.

On another occasion a young man
smoking cigarette approached Null
doom to get data for a life of John L.
eff you'll stop sucking that thing
and throw it away, I'll talk to YOU"
said the professor.
That was some years ago, and Mr..
Muldoon was described as "a hand

and then for many men.
And what is muldooning?
Well, that reminds me. An old farm

Luxury All Can Have.

Elihu Root just now is being null
doomed. Mr.. Root is the American pre-
mier, the secretary of state, with only
two men in official rank between him
and the presidency of the United
States. He believes in muldooning,
and that should be a good recon-
mendatiOn for the system. You need
not go to William Muldoon's place. as
Secretary Root has done, to be null
doomed. You can muldoon yourself
wherever you are. Mr. Muldoon has
room for only a few men at a time,
and it costs much money to be null
doomed by Muldoon, the original null
dooner Consequently only the rich
can afford to muldoon at Muldoon's.
But this luxury is yours for the taking
at your own home, for Mr.. Muldoon
hasn't patented his system.
Muldoon's place is a farm about two
miles from White Plains, n. Y. There
is a commodiOus house, with shower
baths and a gymnasium. There are
broad acres for walking over and long
roads for riding along, and there are

Overcivilized person. The trouble with
you is that you have been pursuing too
closely the golden calf, which can run
faster than bay steer, or you have
been working too hard for a living.
You have been dissipating. Perhaps
the dissipation consists of too much
work and the consequent worry. Per
haps it consists of cocktails, cigarettes
or even champagne. Perhaps you are
what teetotalerS call temperate" but
you have been eating too heartily or
partaking OF food that is altogether too
rich for your blood. No matter. Wheth-
er you have brain flag, mental stagna-
ton, intellectual torpidity, nervous
prostration or just a damned liver
damned up by clogged system that
cries for exercise and relief-there is
one thing that you must have done to
you before you get over the trouble.
You must be muldooned.

Wanderers Nap Caused Ghost Scare
In Quaker City Cemetery.
When Policeman Barnes Of the
Twentieth and Berks streets station.
Philadelphia, heard weird sounds In
Glenwood cemetery very early In the
morning. he crept stealthily along the
fence and entered the graveyard In
full expectation OF a real adventure.
And he was not disappointed. The
adventure was so real that the
doughty officers hair stood on end, and
he fingered, his club In nervous fear OF
its futility In dealing with the super

grew louder; then. as he approached a
grave we'll In the center Of the GENE
terry, he saw q faint. eerie light that
fiickered from a rough pine coffin case
beside the grave. The light trembled
and flashed and faded and then bright
ened, though always vague and ghost
" and unearthly.
To Policeman Barnes it seemed quite
the most natural thing in the world
that he should rap softly three times
on the coffin case and that the lid of
the box should suddenly fly open and
reveal human form, dimly visible by
the light. of a small lantern.
When the first shock OF discovery
was over, it took the policeman only
a moment to see that this was no dead
one, but a live creature, sound asleep
and with a pile OF metal coffin plates
for pillow In the overturned rough
box. The officer woke the intruder
sharply enough and took him to Magis-
trate Rau.
The grave walker and would be
grave robber gave his name as Will
liam Evert and his address as Glen
wood cemetery. He said he had just
dropped into the coffin case for a nap.
He did not, however, explain his predi-
lection for cemeteries nor the presence
OF the metal name plates, and the
magistrate sent him to Holmesburg
for three months.

has no divinity degrees and probably

Up to about 1889 William Muldoon
was the champion GrecO-Roman wres-

any man on earth time and again.
He went up against the champion

so many years that he got ashamed

You see and hear a good many Irish
names in Havana. The OReillys, the
ODonnells the OFarrells and the CLAW
lers are quite prominent. Several of the
wealthiest families in the island also are
descended from immigrants who came from
ireland after the battle of the Boyne in
1850. You also find them in Chile, Peru and
other parts of South America, where they
have distinguished themselves as soldiers,
sailors and statesmen. In Cuba they APP

capacity, and Leopoldo O'DonneIl, who was
governor general of the island from 1S43
to 1S4S is said to have acquired such i'm
mense wealth during his term of Office that
the king was jealous of him when he
went back to Spain.
From the year 17O4 until the American
occupation In 1899, the O'Reilly family held
by royal grant a monopoly of transporting

Their revenues amounted to several hundred
