Picked Also as Winner.

San Francisco, Cal, July 4.-WorIds
Lightweight Champion Joe Cans and
Battling Nelson are ready for their As
round battle here this afternoon. Lo-
cal pugilistic circles are stirred up to
the fever pitch, for the fight is ex-
pected to be the greatest that has
taken place between lightweights on
the coast for years.
Nor is the interest in the battle cen.
tered on the coast, for sports from
many other cities are here to see the
bout. The sale of seats has been
heavy and will reach $4,000.
Despite the fact that Nelson gave
the champion the hardest battle he
has had in recent years, there is little
betting on the fight. Odds of 2 to l
with Cans favorite predominant.
There is plenty of Cans money in
sight, but even on the short end there
is nothing doing in the way of specu-
lative Nelson coin. At some places
bets have been made that Cans will
win inside of 20 rounds, even money
being the figure on this stipulation.

NEARLY FoRcor LICENSE.

Charles Golf, who was a party to a
matrimonial knot tying this week,
came very nearly making his bride
to-be wait at the church until he Sc
cured a marriage license. 1t is likely
that he would have had he not been
asked in regard to it by one of his
fellow reporters. They were all sit.
ting in the press box at the baseball
game on the day before the wedding
and Golf was submitting to a great
deal of chaff concerning his approach
ing marriage. One of the questions
asked him was what he had had to
pay for his license Golf laughed for
a moment and then his face took on
a funny expression. He stared into
vacancy for a minute and then slapped
himself on the knee and broke out
in laugh that set the whole grand
stand to looking. He then confessed
that he had forgotten the license en-
tirely, although he had arranged fol
everything else with the greatest OF
care. The joke was on him and he
bought the peanuts for the press rep
resentatives.

TALES OF THE TOWN

home from visit to a neighboring
town the other day with story A
doctor had visited the town seeking
men who had, had their legs broken
and in the knitting of the bones. the
broken leg had drawn up until 1t was
shorter than the other leg. This doc
tor claimed that he could make the
short leg grow as long as the other
leg by certain treatment
He hadn't been in that town long
until he found man that had one
leg shorter than the other and who
was very anxious to have the trouble
remedied. This man had been seek
ing for some time to find doctor
who would make his short leg grow
and when this doctor told him that
he could fix his leg he was so anxious
to have it done that he forgot TO ask
the price of the treatment. Well the
doctor started to work rubbing and
pulling the mans leg and in a few
days the leg had heightened out to
is where the whole trouble began.
The leg did not stop growing, bur
just kept getting longer and longer,
| until it got SO long that the poor man
had to keep garden rake near him
all the time because when it began
to itch he couldn't reach it with any
thing shorter. Finally when the poor
man was worried nearly to death
about his leg he told the doctor that
he would give him anything he had
| If the doc would only shorten the
leg to its former length. The doctor
had been waiting for this chance and
| he told the man he would do the job
for $4,000. He finally did it, but the
community would not let the doctor
collect his bill.

Walter March has greater faith in

visit, and during her absence Mr..
March wrote her a letter and enclosed
it in a banknote He addressed the

necessary stamp on 1T, and placed it
in his pocket with the intention of
dropping it in the first mail box he
passed But other matters occupied
his attention until it was nearly time
for the baseball game TO be called,
and Mr.. March went to the ball game
without thinking again of the letter
and its valuable enclosure. When he
returned from the game he was
startled to find that the letter was
gone. He wore out a pair of shoes
hunting for the lost epistle, but could
find no trace of it.
Two days later he received letter
from Mrs. March telling of receiving
his letter and the money Walter is

The Cause Of Pneumonia.

Chicago, May 1.-THE announce
ment of new theory as to the cause
of pneumonia, and the discovery Of
remedy for the disease was made
last night by DR.. H. Manning Fish.
DR.. Fish said that the seat of trouble
in pneumonia cases was not the
lungs, but in the small cells in the
bony framework at the top of the
nose. "From these cells" said DR..
Fish, "the disease works rapidly
down to the lungs, and to all appear
ances these organs Immediately be-
come the seat Of the trouble. How
ever, the fuel which is feeding the
flames Of disease still is being fur
nished from the cells at the top Of
the nose. The simple remedy con-
sequently is to draw this dangerous
pus from these cells. That is what
was done in the case which / have
described, and in "a hours the dis
ease disappeared. The lungs, Of
course, were still affected, and it
took days before the patient finally
was able to leave his bed
