coded these by punching the bag, skip

song and dance. Ketchell at Millett's
planned to box outdoors TO satisfy the
crowd OF spectators, but q slight fall
of rain prevented this. In the gym
nasium he started to work with the big
bag, then boxed with Kid Lafayette
and wound up with bouts with Maurice

THE CONCEPTION OF THE SPHINX.

1t is, l think, writes Robert Kitchens
in the Century, one of the most as
founding facts in the history of man
that a man was able t contain within
his mind, to conceive. the conception
of the Sphinx. That he could carry it
out in the stone is amazing. But how
much more amazing it is that before
there was the Sphinx he was able to
see it with his Imagination! One may
eriticise the Sphinx. One may say i'm
pertinent things that are true about
it; that seen from behind at a distance
its head looks like an enormous mush-
room growing in the sand; that it's
cheeks are swelled Unfortunately; that
its thin-lipped mouth is legal; that
from certain places it bears a resem-
blance TO a prize bulldog. All this does
not matter at all. What does matter
is that into the conception and eXecu-
ton Of the Sphinx has been poured a
supreme imaginative power. He who
created it looked beyond Egypt. beyond
the life of man. He grasped the con-
ception of Eternity, and realized the
nothingness of Time, and he rendered
1t in stone.

DETROIT, Mich. Feb. 1S.-F. Merri-

AMERICAN VICTIMS
FOR LEGACY SWINDLERS.

\ much needed warning is issued by
United States Committeeman Wynne.
OF London, against the swindling oper-
atoms of a class Of English lawyers
who induce Americans to believe that
they are heirs to large properties in
England. Mr.. Wynne writes. 'In the
hunt for mythical fortunes have
found absolutely nothing. and my pre-
decessors for forty years have not
beer able to s~ubstantiate a single claim
for property by American heirs who
offered to prove their descent from
a branch of some British family
This credulity on the part OF .Ameri
cans is on a par with the spirit OF
snobbely which makes American par
cnts welcome as suitors for their
daughters all coEiers from the other
side of the Atlantic who can show
them any credentials. whether forged

SILENT, STARVING
CREW FIGHTS SEA
WITH DEAD COOK
Shipwreck Victims Are Almost
SpeechIess Because of
Swollen Tongues.

SEATTLE, Feb. 1S.-The crew of the
sloop Teckla, at anchor at Neah Bay,

hail from a steel life boat, drawing up
slowly in the breeze. In the boat were
the forms of four men. one dead, from
tfe American ship Emily Reed,
wrecked off the Nehalem River. Ore
gon, two hundred miles distant. The
men in the boat were: First Mate Fred
zube. Seaman Ewald Abildsted, Sea-
maj Arthur Jahunke, and the ships
cook, name unknown. The dead ma
was the ships cook.
The survivors tongues were swollen
from thirst SO that they could scarcely
~articulate. They had had no food since
Sunday night, moi any water since
they left tho wreck OIL Friday.
almost the instant the Reed struck
the beach she began to break up said
zube. There was no nance to get
aft TO Captain Kersel and his wife,
and other members of the crew. a big
sea carried us clear of the decks.
My arm had been broken. We did
DIR best TO get back to the wreck. but

Hrious. a big steamer stopped near

But tho vessel cot under way again

fight, laid down in the water, and in

AND LONGBOAT
RAN OVER SHORT TRACK.

Tom Eek, the veteran trainer of ped
estrians, athletes. bicycle riders and
swimmers, in a signed statement takes
exception to the charge that he is the
manager of Tom Longboat, and claims
he is merely the trainer of the Indian
runner Speaking of Longboat's recent
ten-mile race in Boston when the
Indian beat the record credited to
Shrubb, the English runncr, Eek says:
when it was thought of having
Longboat run in Boston MIR. Flanagan
got a permit from the c. A. a. U. to
hold his meet in Boston, and he had a
permit for L%ongboat and the other, men
to compete here. He cut out the bicycle
races and the ~roller-skatlng races, as
these lines are affiliated with the A. A.
u, so no one competed in Boston but
Canadians, and there is no rule in the
Canadian or American union to stop
either from giving a meet in the other
territory. So the meet here was moth
ing more than an offset to the Mon
treal meet of last ummer.
"Shrubb ran two races in Boston at
the Park Square coliseum and came
close to the worlds record each time.
I saw him run here and ] thought the
track short. Longboat came to Bos-
ton and ran ten miles over the same
track. Now, when ] say the same |
mean exactly foot for foot that Shrubb
ran. | will admit the track was short,
but it cuts no figure how much short;
1t was exactly the same short track
Slarubb ran on. And the floor does not
sbrinl, and axnand for 1t
was announced he would attempt to
lower the time made by Shrubb, and
he accomplished exactly what Mr..
Flanagan thought he could do. Tom
Longboat does not claim n record
for the event nor does Mr.. Flanagan,
but the fact remains that Longboat
went eleven laps to the mile and was
timed by a hundred watches.
