Tonopha, New, Jan. lit is not
known just yet what Manager Riley
and his Casino clubs deficit Will be
over this attempt to emulate the ex-
ample of Goldfeld, but it will run close
to $4,000. That much is sure. The
extravaganza shown by the club was
little short Of foolhardy, as is shown
by the fact that the preliminary event
for which $1,000 was offered, could have
been obtained for almost one quarter
Of the price. The arena is said to
have cost the club $4,000. and as the
fighters in todays main event received
$4,000 fat the expenses can readily be
shown to be close to 500 Two i'm
portant items were $1,000 each and
transportation for the fighters, to say
nothing of the many minor expenses.
Riley's bureau of publicity and promo
ton alon will foot up close to $4,000.

It was universally acknowledged that
Mr.. Gladstone's memory was prodi-
gious, but there was a certain lord chief
justice of England who thought the
stateman's memory of his feats of
memory more prodigious still. On one
occasion after listening to what seem
ed to him a tall story" Of some hap
pening of the great mans early years
the lord chief justice determined to go
him one better. So he said that he re-
membered when he was only six
months old, and, lying in his cradle, he
saw his nurse surreptitiously help her.
self to a glass of brandy and said to
himself:
''As soon as l can speak shsn't tell
my mother!"
THE thing is absolutely impossible"
was Mr.. Gladstone's comment in his
gravest tone
The lord chief justice said afterward
that he had been beaten because he
had reckoned on Mr.. Gladstone having
a CLEAN of humor.
II was mistaken he said sadly.

Mixed Metaphor.

Mr. Sturgeon was keen collector
of mixed metaphors, finding rich
field in the correspondence that daily
overwhelmed him. Two or three are
given in the Cornhill. A lady inclosing
small contribution for his schools
wrote. II hope this widows mite may
take root and spread its branches until
it becomes a Hercules In your hands"
The pulpit prayers of ambitious pro-
bationers added something to the great
preachers store. One prayed that
Gods rod and staff may be ours while
tossed on the sea of life, so that we
may fight the good fight of faith and
in the end soar to rest" Still another
prayed, "Gird up the loins of our
minds, that we may receive the latter
rain" "As If we were barrels whose
hoops were loose" was Mr.. Spurgeon's
laughing comment. = ST. James Ga

NEARY GETS A DRAW IN
HARD GO WITH DESCHLER.
Battle Was Hardest Ever Fought In
Milwaukee-Jimmy CIabby of Ham
mond Again Gets Decision over
MoOrehead.

Milwaukee, Wis, Jan 2.-Charlie
Neary of Milwaukee got another of
those draws which have made MIL
waukee famous in his ten-round battle
with Dave Deschler Of Cambridge,
Mass. The battle was the fiercest ever
fought in Milwaukee and kept the
crowd in an uproar all through the ten
rounds of sensational milling.
Both men were bathed in blood from
the first round, but the gore came from
Neary's eye. his nose and his mouth.
Deschler beat the Milwaukee boy at
every turn OF the route: he roughed it
and he boxed and had such a lead over
Neary that the fans were given a sur
prise OF the season by Referee Stout.
OF course. the verdict made a hit with
majority of the crowd, out those who
pretended to exercise fair Judgment
and who know anything about boxing
admit that Deschler clearly outpointed
the Milwaukeean.
Jimmy Clabby OF Hammond fought
one of the two prelininaries and de-
feated for the second time Billy Moore
head. who is said to be one Of the best
men in the business Moorehead is ten
pounds heavier than CIabby and the
Hammond boy made hit with the
crowd when he got the decision over
his heavier opponent.
Clabby has made many friends among
the Milwaukee fans who all believe
him TO be q conner.

The Peacock At Home.

The real home of peacocks or pea
fowls is IN India. There they were and
are hunted. and their flesh is used for
food. As the birds live in the same re
gion as the tiger, peacock hunting is a
very dangerous sport. The long train
of the peacock is not its tail. as many
suppose. but Is composed OF feathers
which grow out just above the tail
and are called the tail coverts. Pea
cocks have been known for many hun
bred years. They are mentioned In the
Bible. Job mentions them, and they
are mentioned, too, in Kings Z. Hun
dreds Of years ago in Rome many thou
sand peacocks were killed for the great
feasts which the emperors made. The
brains of. the peacock were considered
q great treat. and many had to be
killed for q single feast
