%. Paul Daily News:
You have heard Of 'Farmer' Burns,
the famous wrestler, who for many
yoars has been able to get both
shoulders of the best of them down on
the mat.
Well.
Farmer Burns does not smoke, chew.
drink. swear or Use ten or coffee.
Do you understand why Burns cuts
out tea, coffee, tobacco a liquor?
Simply because these things stand in
tho way Of his being . strong man
physically. He must have muscles
that are % strong - iron, supple as q
tigers. He must have lungs like .
blacksmith's bellows. He must haves
brain ~ clear % q Philadelphia
lawyers.
Any kind OF artificial stimulus,
whether it 10 weak like tea, coffee: to-
baco, or strong like whisky, interferes
With his right breathing ,interferes with
his muscle expansion, interferes with
pure blood In the brain. He can't at
ford to use stimulants. In the end
they tend to weaken his body and his
mind.
But you cannot quite zee the con.
n0CtiOn between swearing and physi-
col strength. Let Burns himself ex.
plain. Listen:
Lots OF people," he says. "can't
see what swearing has to do with it.
Let me tell you that swearing is The
beginning of toughness and ~t0ughness
10 the beginning of weakness
II some OF the tshas beens' In the
sporting world hac been IS careful as
Farmer Bunrs about the beginning of
toughness they might still be coming
down the pike full tilt.
Il 10 this way:
Wrestlers and athletes and champ
ions of the diamond and the sawdust
ring-on the average-do not last
long. And the reason for 1t Is they
ret tough" They forget to be gen.
tlemen. They grow weak. By and
BY they get knocked out.
The mar who swears at every Jump
Of his pulse cannot be clean inside.
He swears because he gets tough, and
10 gets tough because he wears. The
two go together. The man Is corrupt
cd. and corruption 10 weakness.
In the sporting world he Is . strong

70 too tough to cut out either OF these
habits IL too weak to last.
Toughness is weakness.
To Be strong . man must be clean
inside and out. To be clean he must
be strong. Do you see?
Every fellow who has red blood in
his veins wants to strong and manly.
Isn't Il true?
The trouble is that many fellows
ret the idea that blowing cigarette
smoke through the nos or swearing
BIG o.ths helps to make them like men.
But that IL q mistake. Instead Of
making boys manly 1t makes them
tough, and q tough IL . weakling.

A Great Victory at ottumwa.

About a dozen Oskaloosa rooters
had the time of their lives at Ottumwa
yesterday when they attended the ball
game and saw Jack Corbett's bunch
go down to defeat before the mighty
Quakers by the score of to 1. At
the very start it looked bad for Oska-
loosa. Fisher and Mite were both
on the bench, the former with sore
hand, and the latter with stiff knee
caused by foul tip in the last game
played at Oskaloosa. Kensel, the
first man up. tried to beat out an in
field hit, caught his toe on the bag
at first, and fell headforemost. For
time it was thought his collar bone
was broken and doctor was called.
He soon revived but was unable to go
on with the game. Mite was sub
stituted at short, and he made good.
Fleming made the most sensational
catch ever seen In the field there, and
the prejudiced ottumwa fans could
not resist the impulse to give him
the glad hand for cutting off at least
two scores, as the bases were filled.
Coates pulled out of two bad holes
without bobble and pitched winning
ball all through the game. Moody
covered himself with glory by knock
ing out a Texas Lacquer in the sew
enth and driving three men home.
resting on third when the dust had
cleared away. Mite also cleared the
bases in the third, and while Finney
and Sedgwick wrangled over who
ought to have fielded the ball, he
took snap Judgment on the situation
and went to third. Notwithstanding
the shift in positions the Quakers
played errorless ball, and put up a
game that would have done credit to
the Chicago Cubs. ...

LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Conditions In Chicago of Interest
To Iowa Producers.
Chicago. Aug. Il.

CATTLE-The cattle trade did not
close up in very good condition last
week and prices showed a decline of
about 25c for the week. The receipts
today were estimated at $4,000, which
was rather a liberal run after the bad
close in the trade of last week, and as
result market did not open very
active with prices in most instances
about 10c lower 1t will be necessary
to see lighter receipts for while be-
fore we can have any improvement in
the trade; however, we believe the
heavy run and decline in the market
will check the receipts for the balance
of this week and we would not be
surprised if prices showed some ad-
vance.
HOGS-Hog market closed up in
very good shape after the decline
which was noted the first few days of
the week. The run today was not ex.
cessiye, receipts being estimated at
$4,000 and bulk of the offerings were
readily bought up at strong to sc
higher prices. The extreme top for
fancy. selected light was $685., with
good many hogs selling above $500
should receipts continue moderate
the balance of this week, we look for
more advance in prices.
SHEEP Market today will show
an advance of 1Oc@15c over the fore
part of last week; however, with a
liberal run of $4,000 on sale today,
market ruled slow and weak and in
some instances prices were loo lower.
Sheep and lamb prices are still very
high and for anything ready we be-
lieye It is good time to let them
come along.
