ONE WHITE WOMAN PRESENT
The crowd was handled perfectly.
and for the first time in the history of
the new arena, and probably for the
nrst time at any big championship
match, there were no impromptu scraps
among the spectators. The one white
woman at the ringside was permitted
TO find her way to a seat with only
perfunctory notice from the galleries.

Cans a Game Fighter
By Referee Smith

~ ANS fought as long and hard

NJ dropped from exhaustion
without having been struck
decisive blow. / Will repeat
that Nelson is the marvel of the
prize ring. Time after time Cans
would measure him with his right
hand and the Danc would ap-
parentIy be on the wane, when
suddenly he would recover and
fight faster and more yiciously
than ever. Cans never had n
chance with him. He was on top
of the old MASTER all the time
and simply wore him down by
degrees.
will say without reserve that
Cans Is the gamest man ever

of would have quit before the If
fcenth round, but joe stood on his
feet until he dropped and could
not rise again.
Nelson should hold his title for

The success of this dish depends
largely upon your butcher. You need
two racks Of young lamb chops. They
should be cut and 'frenched," but not
entirely separated. These two racks
should be tied together with the bones
towards the inside, forming a perfect
circle. Put in bakingpan and roast
from 80 to 40 minutes, according to
the heat OF your oven, basting the
meat frequently. This should be
served on a large platter, and the in.

This is an old style house plan, but
1t has a good deal to recommend it.
Those who appreciate plenty of light
and air like TO have rooms built on
this plan because they car have all
the windows they want and have them
so placed that sunlight can penetrate
into every room.
The first houses, built when the
country was nCW to white folks, were
square or nearly so. Then, as more
room was needed, they were extended
in enc direction, keeping generally to
one room III width When the limit
in this form was reached some bright
intelligent fellow branched off at right
angles and built room on the side of
his house. This must have been con-
sidcred n great invention, and so it
was, for it has been handed down
from one generation to the next and
we still find the idea worth adopting.
There is no record OF the original
hOusc built on this plan, SO we don't
know whether it had en- upstairs or
not, but there is coed cellar, another
feature that the original architect
didn't understand. 1t is necessary to
hike back to those good old times
when luXurics approached closely to
what We call privations in order to APP
nreciate what we now have.
We would live as the early pioneers
did in one room houses built with an
AK, but we would rather not do it in
the winter time. There are, however,
a few principles that were worked into
those early habitations that we can
not get away from and we do not want
TO. One is the open air freedom, the
light and cheerful setting of trees and
clearing, and the open fireplace, the
cheerful warmth Of which still fingers

Plants Thrive on Steam.

A woman famous among her friends
for her thrifty house plants ascribe
her success TO her practice of steam.
ing them.
Whenever they begin to droop and
look as If they needed 'toning up they
get treatment" she said recently.
She has row Of hooks arranged on
the bathroom wall over the tub, and
from these she suspends the pots by
strings to within two feet of the
water the plants having previously
had a thorough watering. The door
and windows are closed, with the ex.
ception of narrow crack left open
at the top of one of the latter, and the
tub is filed with water hot enough to
allow a gentle steam to rise and per.
wade the atmosphere.
In this position the plants are left
for an hour, and the operation is re-
peated until they are restored to
health. This of course only can be
done in room with painted walls, as
the constant steaming will loosen
paper.

NEW IDEA IN SANDWICHES.
Delcacy That Is Popular with Our
English Cousins.

An unusual sandwich is the Devon
shire. 1t is thoroughly English. Put
half pound of Vienna flour into a
basin, add half teaspoonful OF salt,
level teaspoonful of castor sugar and
a full teaspoonful Of yeast powder,
then rub two ounces of butter into the
flour, and when thoroughly mixed
moisten with a wellbeaten egg and
enough milk to form fairly soft
dough.
Knead the latter just sufficiently to
make it into a perfectly smooth jall,
then turn it from the mixing basin on
to Toured board, and after rolling
II out to about the thickness of a quar-
ter of an inch, cut it out into rounds
with a plain or fluted cutter of about
the size of a five shilling piece and
bake the scenes at once on Toured
tin. Just before they are done brush
them over with beaten egg, and on
taking them from the oven let them
cool on a wire rack or sieve.
Shortly before they are required
split the scenes through the middle
with sharp knife and spread all the
pieces with thick clotted cream, then
cover half the number with layer OF
honey and close the sandwiches.

Deserved His Liberty.

The smartest lunatic who ever es.

to be a well-known Hadley man.
Wearing silk hat and frock coat.
he walked into a newspaper Office in
Hadley and after writing thrilling
story of how to elude the vigilant at
tendants at the Staffordshire county
asylum, asked the editor to publish
it, According to his story he waited
for a foggy night and then, after
loosening the screws in his cell win
dow, descended to the ground by a
rope ladder. He then visited Stock
port and the poor law officers to look
over the lunacy law. After learning
that lunatic could not be apprehended
after II days of liberation unless
q fresh order should be made out
against him, he gave himself up to I'M
restrained celebration of the new year.
He complained in his story that the
asylum system was too prisonlike and
that It discouraged and depressed him.

strOyers Japan is far ahead. She has
70 torpedo boats and 81 torpedo-boat
destroyers, while the United States
has only 33 torpedo boats and 81 tor
pedo-boat destroyers. On the other
hand, Japan has only nine subma-
rines, while we have 10.
In the cost of battle ships OF our
navy the Connecticut and Kansas lead
the others, the former costing 1861,
COG, and the latter $7,701 ,143. The
cost of maintenance of each type of
warship is as follows: Battle ship,
$3.50, 5S7.12; armored cruiser, $685.
151,47; protected cruiser, $3.50, 002.26;
gunboat, S115.5S5.12; torpedo-boat de-
stroyer. $77,354.22; torpedo boat, SOL,
650.9S; submarine, $26,454.10.
The total number of ships in the
American navy is 16S; in the navy of
Great Britain, 545 in the French navy,
sos; in the navy Of Germany, 210, and
that, while the United States has the
least number of ships of these five
powers, she is still second in rank by
her comparative strength in battle
ship tonnage. Great Britain's ton
mage is S21,390; United States, 406,
146; France, 36S,461; Germany, $685.
461; Japan, 191 .49S.
The reason of the excess Of ships in
the French navy is found in the fact
that she has 271 torpedo boats and 80
submarines, while England has only
II torpedo boats and As submarines
and the United States only so torpedo
boats and 10 submarines.

AS this house is 30 feet wide and
the projections at the roof gables are
extra it needs considerable room. The
law has decided that you must not
hang your roof over your neighbours
ground, so it would be impossible to
put this house on narrowminded

look out in every direction.
There is another advantage in a
plan of this kind, and that is the pos
