SprawLing on Wires

When the reckless youngster reached
the top Of the pole he started on the
wires without a moments hesltancy and
slid down the sagging lines to the
coveted prize. Stuffing the ticket in
his pocket he began the return trip,
which was more difficult and more
hazardous on account Of the slack in
the wires. Several times he had 10
stop and rest, while the crowd looked
fer the plunge that would mean proba-
bly, instant death. There was a unani-
nous sigh of relief when he reached
the pole and started on the finish of his
perilous feat.
Il was but few minutes before Miller
reached the ground in triumph. But
when he gazed up at the wires he
staggered and fell faint from exhaus-
ton and fright

Boosters Childish Explanation.

Have you heard the explanations OF
the Squires boosters?
They say that Bill was bemuddled
after the first punch. II he had stayed
down for the count OF nine instead Of
only four he might have come back
and beaten Burns
Well, IL SQuires were the wonderful
champion he was cracked up 10 be,
doesn't II seem natural he would know
these things? Isn't a champion supposed
to know when to get UP and how TO
protect himself when he is a bit at
sea?
Jim Jeffries knocked Jim CorbeIt fiat
in the second round OF their last fight,
but Jim very wisely took the limit on
the count. Jeffries BIZ him so hard that
he broke his glove all 10 pieces. The
referee was forced 10 put on a new
glove In the minutes rest Jim Cor
bett a champion, arose after this wallop
and danced around out of danger. IN
the eighth round he gave an exhibition
OF cleverness that simply took the spec
tators on their chairs. No one ever saw
Jen peppered so much In one round.
In the tenth JEFF dropped Jim again,
but the fight was over on that fall.
Bang-AIl Off
BIZ Sauires, the wonderful fighting
nacnlne, was cOppeo on TIE sioe OF the
head. He took the count OF four and
came up as though his hands were tied

Burns simply picked out a soft place
and tipped the wonderful man over
again. Once more he got up and. like

/ leaned his glove against Burns side

| man was no more.
