Oriqin of Scotland's Motto,

It was thought by the Danes to be
cowardly to attack an enemy after
nightfall, but on one occasion when
they were waging war in Scotland,
they deyiated from their usual rule.
0. they crept, noiselessly and unob-
served, in their bare feet, upon the
unsuspecting SCotchman. When near
the camp one of the Danes trod upon
a thistle and in his pain cried out.
This aroused the sleeping Scotchmen,
and they gave the alarm The Danes
were defeated with terrible loss Of
life, and ever since that time the
thistle has been the insignia of Scot
land, with the motto: Memo me i'm
pune laccssit."-"No one provokes me
with impuuity."

Kismet is an Arabic word meaning
fate" or 1T is fated" A belief in
predestination is one Of the funda-
mental principles in the Mohammedan
faith. Not only mans fortune, but
his deeds, and consequently his future
reward or punishment are, according
to this faith, irrevocably, and thus I'M
avoidably, pre-ordained-a doctrine
which has contributed largely to the
success Of Islam by inspiring it's cham

There is no more becoming color TO

There are two distinct shades OF pur

New Method Of Cutting Steel.

A new method of cutting steel Is
said to have been patented by a Bel.
gian engineer. The process consists
in first heating the metal by means Of
an oxyhydrogen flame and then cut
ting it by a small stream Of oxygen
gas. which unites with the steel and
forms a fusible oxide which flows
freely from the cut. 1t IS said that
the cut is fully as smooth as that

Gossip.

Another attempt to wrest the light
weight championship boxing title from
Joe Cans has proved futile, and the
colored boxer is sure of his laurels for
some time TO come. Jimmy Britt or
California, was a dismal failure. the
bout. which was scheduled to go 20
rounds, lasted only five. In the fourth
round of tie combat Britt, in an ehort
to land a vicious left swing, broke MS
wrist. He fought the fifth session and
was Outclassed, and was unable TO re-
spond for the sixth on account OF the
pain he suffered. Cans was then
awarded the decision. Who his next
opponent will be is a matter for con-
lecture, as the champion stands alone.
If Britt ever was to hold the light
weight championship his friends
thought that his only chance was to
get it through his fight with. Cans
They gathered at the battle in large
numbers, and, despite Cans being the
favorite, they bet heavily on the ma
tive son. Before the encounter the
Californian gave his admirers lot OF
confidence as he declared he was IN
the best shape and that he felt sure
OF winning Taking this and his ex-
cellent showing against Battling Nell
son, the fans felt that he was due to
give Cans a hard russell. Cans showed
in the battle, after the second round,
that he was the better boxer OF the
two. He hit Britt at will. His clever
ness and speed outshone that OF the
westerner, who was puzzled as 10
what tactics to pursue in fighting the
champion. He had only two effective
blows to use on Cans. They were
left swing to the body and a right
cross. Every time he attempted TO
land them Cans was present with
strong defense. Cans used several
punches which were effective, He had
no difficulty in finding landing place
for them, and several times had Britt
daZed by their use.
