of the glory We claim for Greeley,
the place where they water the land.
1t is desired and believed that this
will fall into the hands OF some OF
those who are looking westward, to-
ward the land of opportunity. and
to those we desire to say that at
Greeley we offer the best of every
thing that relates to the home de-
velopment, the safety of the fam
lily, the education of the mind and
the body and the personal comfort
of not only the young and the old,
but the opportunity that is vital and
satisfies the ambitious man in the
prime of life.

his quarters when he is getting ready for battle But she takes deep interest in his work, just the same.
 "I knew that he was fit and right for the Moir battle," she said, and that if he lost 1t wouldn't be because of lack of condition"
 | How" she was asked.
 Because he was so cross the day before the fight that it was worth ones life to speak to him. When he is on edge for fight he's just like a big bear, growing and not pleased by anything. It's always that way when he's ready for big fight.
 Don't think too," she continued "that he won't be in the best of shape for Palmer and Roche. He told me before I left that people said these two were easy, and that he ought to win in a punch. Anybody has a chance he said, and I'll prepare fc these two and fight them just as carefully as though I was going into the ring with Jeffries. I'm not going to lose my battles through careless. ness, I want to win these two and then sail for home,' and he will too He will go back on the first fight af- ter the Roche fight and Detroit is his first stopping place after New York. He has several weeks of theatrical dates over here and after he has visited his relatives in De- troit and Preston and filled this time we will go to California and see what home looks like"
 Mrs Burns is strongly opposed tc her husbands meeting negro. When they were first married she made him promise that he would not fight black men. But she says that he is sore over what so many writers have said about him and Johnson and she is positive that he will sign as quickly as possible after fighting Roche, leaving the explanations for her to follow. She says she has nc l fears as to the result of bout with Johnson.
 He told me-" she said, 'that he would sign to meet Johnson in 1G' foot ring, and would make him jumr out of it. He doesn't think Johnson Is game, and expects to show the pub, lie this. But. Johnson can stop talk. ing about what terms he will fight Tommy on. Tommy will dictate this part of the match, and will make sure that he isn't made the medium of giv. ing Johnson a chance to pick up lo' of money just for coming in and talk ing ;osLI's end"
 Mrs Burns brought back pleasant memories of England and about the swellest looking English bull pup that has been seen around here in some time She is dividing her time be- tween the education of the pup ant the study of the culinary art. For, she says, "I want to stop globe trot ting and to settle down in Los Angeles keeping house again. That's better for both of us than running around the world on boxing tours"

sNow, now said the veteran chid- ingly. "How can I tell? Would you have me kill the man with auestions"
 He left them to look at the body of the bo's'n's mate. Not word had he to say when he returned. Only the captain got anything out of him but growing and unintelligible express sions, which seemed to be objurgatory and to express bewildered cogitation.
 '.How long had poor Timmins been drowned?" the captain had asked him, and Trendon replied:
 "Captain Parkinson, the man wasn't drowned. No water in his lungs"
 "Not drowned! Then how came he by his death"
 "If I were to diagnose it under any other conditions I should say that he had inhaled flames"
 Then the two men stared at each other in blank impotency. Meantime the scarecrow was showing signs of re-

 "Mr. Barnett" said the surgeon per emptorily.
 But the suggestion was working i'll the sick mans brain. He turned to the officers a face of horror.
 "Your man, Edwards-the crew they left her? In the night?'
 What does he mean?' cried Bar nett.
 "The light! You saw it?"
 "Yes. We saw a strange light" an swered Trendon soothingly. Slade half rose. Lost! All lost" he cried and fell back unconscious. Trendor exploded into curses. "See what you've done to my patient" he fumed. Bar nett looked at him with contrite eyes

 It was nearly an hour before Slade came back to the world again. The doctor forbade him to attempt speech But of one thing he would not be de nied. There was struggle for utter ance, then:

UP AGAINST THE POWERS.
French Bicyclist Got $100-Mal
 Have to Pay For It.

Edmond Jacquelin, who started in the six-day bicycle race at Madison Square Garden recently, has been sus- pended indefinitely by the Union Cy- clist international of France. While in New York he held up P. T. Powers for $100 more than his contract called for and refused to ride until the money was paid him. Powers paid the money to avoid trouble and imme- diately took the matter up with the European organization, with the above result. The fact of his suspension has been sent to all the countries in the world. and now Jacquelin cannot compete on the track again until he pays his fine and his reinstatement is announced.

CADDIES.
Some Champions Who Caddied
 When They Were Kids.


 When They Were Kids.
 Colored boys and men work at many links in the south, but as a general thing the American caddle is the every day country boy. At fourteen or fifteen he goes to work or to a preparatory school to make ready for a professional career, and it is only at the public school that he plays or works as caddie. The present champion of the Massachu- setts Golf association, J. G. Ander- son, was a caddie of this sort before going to a preparatory school and college, and he Is now a college pro lessor. A western amateur cham pion, Sawyer, while caddying as a kid went to play for a frolic in professional competition, and Tor this he had afterward to receive a clear bill of health from the golf authorities, while Jones, runner up in the same contest to H. c. Egan last year, was also caddie in his young days.
 There are many more cases to be quoted. In rare instances the Amer ican caddie boy becomes profes- sional, and if so he becomes an honor to the craft. They model their game on that of the resident Scotch professionals, and in time one of them may win an open champion ship. The Scots have been generous in helping the lads to master the game, and the absence of jealousy has helped the American boys for ward who have joined the ranks of i the professionals. The American caddie boy is unique for cheery ways and bright wits among the caddies of the world, and 1t is fitting that he is the only one who may develop into an amateur golfer.
 One of the Musselburgh old guard 1 had the Hibernian name of Mickey Flynn. The late Colonel Hastings Anderson was one of his employers One day the colonel had bad head ache and he was completely off his game. Exasperated by weary sue cession of topped shots he at last ex, i ou, Suh Pibs "isiA eAAAA internal head"
 Mickey overheard and thought he understood. Approaching his em 1 ployer he said, with all the sympath! he could put into his voice: "Eh colonel, you an me does na do witt the drink"
 The story is told by Arthur Crime in Bailey's Magazine, and he couples with it the retort of St Andrew: caddie to the university professor "Onybody can teach a wheen loon: Latin and Greek, but gowf, ye see gowf requires held"
 "Skippee," the St Andrews caddit who is the hero of Gilbert Watson'' golf novel, has sharp tongue.
 An, I hit that ball, Skippee, called out the late Robert Dalzell, who often hired him.
 Hit the ba'?" answered Skippee "Ye never hit tue ba' in your life.

 ..All right, my friend. Take it your self, if you like" said Trendon. The fingers closed. Tremulously held, the little glass tilted and rattled against the teeth. There was one deep, eager spasm of swallowing. Then the fevered eyes opened upon the face of the Wolverines first officer
