Last September Willie was toddling

Hands and limbs that had been plump
became Scrawny. Willie was taken to

stomach, inserted tube and Willie

Then the nurses began feeding him

through this rubber tube. They also
fed him vegetable soup after time

strong again. Now he can romp about

with his nurses and enjoy himself. He

Genevieve's father occupied the pull

among you be first to cast stone" he

earnestly to the ensuing discourse. At
the close of the service her mother
tried in vain to dislodge her from the

For a long time she was enabled to

One night the old woman lost nearly

was attracted by another wheel. She
stopped and bent Ger the table.
Again and again the wheel spun
around and stepped. The old woman's
eyes sparliled. \ flush suffused her

AS she left the room she clapped her

JOHN |. KNOCKS
HEAVY WEIGHTS

The present lineup of heavyweight
champions is a bunch of dubs, and if
the claimants of the title, from Jeffries
down, keep up their present course,
they are going to kill the game in this
country, according to John l.. Sulli-
van.
The demand of James J. Jeffries for
100000 purse, win, lose or draw, oc-
casioned John L. more alarm than
anything else. He sets In this demand
only commercialism which will sour
the sporting public on the game. When
this support is withdrawn he says that
the element which is always opposed
to boxing will step in and without OPP
position secure the enactment Of laws
which will put the game to bed for
keeps.
"The idea of this fellow Jeffries de-
mandtng such a sum on these condi-
tons" he exclaimed. eff he thinks he
is worth it, why didn't he go out and
fight for it? If these chaps would act
decentlv and halfway sportsmanlike,
the game would psosper. What is going
to happen? Boxing in few years is
going to get it's final black eye"
