"HE fact that Fitz is sitting or
standing-for his statue in vir-
gin marble should not make
Michael Angelo turn over in his
tomb and throw fits. According to
Sculptor Gutzon Borglum, Fitz is a fit
subject for the sculptor's supremest
art Mr.. Borglum proposes forthwith
to perpetuate Fitz as a type Of the fin
est fighting man Of the present age, so
that when this country shall have been
relegated to the mustiness of ancient
days our successors of the fftieth cen
tury may visit the museum Of antiqui-
ties in which the Borglum marble shall
repose, to gaze in awe upon the "clas-
sic" features and form Of Robert
Fitzsimmons, Pugilist, Late Nineteenth
and Early Twentieth Century,
Well, why not?
Phidias carved some figures not half
so pretty as Fitz. Michael Angeles
taste ran largely to angels. Mr.. Dor
glum. it will be remembered, created
some angels for the Church Of st. John
the Divine, but destroyed them with
his hammer when some of the church
people denied that female angels exist,
the Borglum creations being females.
Now this sculptor has set about doing

Followed Fighting Seriously.

Fitz has followed his profession Sc
riously. For him prize fighting has
been business. He did not enter
that line Of industry as mere diver
tisement, to pass away the time, nor
yet to gain the laurels of championship
merely for the sake of the laureIs.
Fitz discovered that he was, as Mr..
Borglum remarks, built for battle"
It was but natural, then, that he de-
vote his life to battle so long as his
battling powers endured, and that is
exactly what this man did,
Like General Grant, however, Fitz
did not know he was great fighter. at
first. He learned the blacksmithing
trade and became an adept at shoeing
horses. That was his chief duty in
the smithy, and it Is said that he is
still proud Of his prowess as horse
shoer By the way, while we are
about it we may as well mention that
Fitz is the champion horseshoer Of the
world, so far as making horseshoes
goes. He won the championship in
Pittsburg few years ago by making
thirty-six horseshoes in thirty-fye min
utes.

AUTO FOR FILLING THE SOIL.

Practically Like a Road ldachine and
of Great Utility on the Farm.
The gasoline propelled automobile
now helps the farmer till the soil. OF
course it is not just like the car that
traverses the boulevard, but it is pro-
PEELED by motor, and its mechan-
ical devices are the same as those used
in the runabout and the racer, says a
Meade (Kan.) dispatch to the New
York Herald
It remained for a Kansas man to
invent this machine that saves labor
both for the farmer and his beasts.
Working quietly on his farm near
Meade, Kan, the center of the won
derful artesian valley and one of the
Island-Frisco system, Ansel S. Wysong
evolved the idea of motor to do the
work of his horses AS he sat upon his
gang pillow and turned the virgin sod
of his new acres he thought up the ma
chine that he says is destined to eman-
cipate the farmer from many Of the ills
with which he heretofore has had to
struggle.
His four horses had hard work drag
ging the two gang plows along. and he
decided that the application of a gaso-
line motor would give him three times
as much power or more. AS result
he set about the task Of inventing
something to do the heavy pulling.
One merit pointed out in the machine
is it's perfection Unlike the inven-
| lions of the past, here seems to be the
correct thing at the very outset.
The new autotractor has many points
of great merit. In reality it is COM
bination Of the traction engine and
gasoline motor But it is much lighter
than the old engine, which had to carry
huge timbers as protection for country
bridges The car now in use weighs
only 400 pounds and is Of thirty
| horsepower. 1t may be run with gaso-
line, alcohol or kerosene. 1t has two
speeds, the low one for use in the field
and the higher one for the road. 1t
moves across Meade county sod, the
toughest to be found, pulling gang
plows that turn six burrows at time,
and it is done so easily that effort is
| not noticeable.
! When the time comes to haul the
wheat crop to market a train Of wagons
is hitched behind the autotractor and
hauled down the road at the rate of
six miles an hour. When doing none

FRUIT AND VEGETABLE.
Burbank's Spineless Cactus a Good
Food For Man and Beast.

Burbank's Spineless Cactus Good
Food For Man and Beast.
The latest and one of the greatest
achievements Of the genius and pa
tient work of Luther Burbank is the
spineless cactus or opuntia, says the
San Francisco Chronicle Burbank has
sent a case of these spineless opuntias
to the California state board Of trade.
where it has been placed on exhibition
with the Sonoma county display.
These specimens show the cactus
leaves in all the stages Of evolution
from the wild plant full of thorns to
the thornless leaf four times as large
and heavy. It thrives well on the
desert or on absolutely barren ground,
where nothing else will grow.
!: In the evolution of the plant the
percentage of water has been dimin-
ished and the percentages Of fiber,
starch and fat largely increased. Anal
ysis made by Professor NJ. e. Jaffa of
the state university shows the Chico
opuntia to contain: Water. 92.74; ash,
1.68; protein, 0,58; crude fiber, 075;
starch, 400; fat, O.19.
The plants are used for hedges or
fences ans for ornaments. The leaves
furnish food for all kinds of stock, in
Guiding poultry. The fat young leaves
make excellent pickles and are good
food when fried like eggplant They
are also used as green's and produce a
sweetmeat similar to preserved citron.
The abundant mucilaginous juice from
the fruit and leaves is mixed with
whitewash to make it lasting when
exposed to the weather. The leaves
are admirably adapted for poultices
and as a substitute for hot water
bags.
The fresh fruit of the improved va
riety is unique in shape and color, SUI
perior to the banana in flavor and is
usually sold at the same price as or
anges and can be produced at one-half
the expense of producing oranges.
apricots, grapes, plums or peaches, and
there is never failure in the crop,
which can be shipped as safely as
other deciduous fruits. The juice from
the fruit of the crimson variety is
used for coloring ices, jelly and con-
fectionery.

But his lOrdliest renOwn rests upon
the fact that he has won and held
three worlds championships as a pu-
gilist, thus breaking the record. The
middleweight championship he won so
many years ago that he has forgotten
the date. The heavyweight champion
ship fell to him ten years ago at Car

He has gone out Of his class repeated
