Willie Papke is the Apollo of fight

built for the fighting game from his
toes to the top of his head. There isn't
a weak spot in his anatomy or a line Of
his makeup that the most critical OF

For 21-year-old lad his development
is remarkable.
Papke weighs 156 pounds stripped.
He isn't fine" for he didn't have 20

Papke stands five feet eight and three
quarter inches. His reach is seventy
one inches. This is only an inch less
than the reach of Jim Corbett, former
heavyweight champion, who is lust

the middleweights.
Arms and Hands Perfect.
The Illinois Thunderbolt' has arms
and hands that are perfectly ADAPTED
10 the lighting game. He has great
iorearms and fists as big and strong
as John L. Sullivan's. Much of his
truly remarkable hitting power comes
from these fists, and he can hit harder
than any other middleweight in the
world. He usually wins his fights with
a clean Knockout in the first, second or
third round
Papke was asked the other day how
ne happened to become a fighter. I'VE
been fighting for less than two years

Cleveland and Others
macon Telegraph.)

William ]. Bryan, who never had a
kind word to say of eX-President
Cleveland while living, now praises
him when dead.
Governor Smith, who deserted him
when he was under fire by resigning
from his Cabinet, now rushes away
from the General Assembly just met,
to be among the chief mourners at
his grave.
Two years ago when Democratic
politicians in the South particularly,
were going mad on the hot path of
radicalism, Grover Cleveland came
forth from his dignifed retirement
long enough to say speaking as a
Democrat, 1--WE are doing some things
now that we will be ashamed of after
awhile" The grand old man lived
long enough to see sanity begin to
return-the first proud step forward
being taken in Georgia.
If Cleveland had not been deserted
by those who ought to have followed
him, the Democratic party would have
had a continuous reign in the White
House from that day until this good
hour. Think of the possibility that
once existed, of no Roosevelt in the
White House; no Bryan on the hust-
ings; no wild ass Democracy; no
corrupt and paternalistic Republican
party in power!
But we did not follow Cleveland.
We hearkened to the voice of sophis-
try, and turned our backs upon the
greatest man of our time.

Tipsters Reaped Harvest

There is no set Of men identified
with horse racing who have peaped a
richer harvest than these professional
tipsters. For many years they oper-
ated undisturbed. Their system was
simple enough. 1t consisted of adj
vertising in some of the sporting
newspapers that they could give
tip on sure winner" in one of
the races for the day. The price
charged for the information ranged
all the way from 81 to So.
TIL patrons of these men numbered
tens of thousands. They had few
steady patrons, for the so-called in
formation they sold was not of a ma
ture to inspire continued confidence.
But their advertising was alluring-
very. High-priced writer's We're en-
ployed to compose advertisements to
attract the "pikers."
Although the general plan of adj
vertising was the same with all the
men engaged in the tipping game,
their individual methods varied Some
of the tipsters said they had handi-
Gaping bureau, ''the most expensive
in the world" through which they
were in a position invariably to pick
the winner of race in advance.
Others said in their advertisements
that they had a system of beating the
bookmakers which could not fail, and
all that was necessary was for the
reader to send S. by mail.

New York, June -(SpeciaD =
Within the last few days the postal
authorities have dealt hard blow
to the professional race horse tipsters,
who for years have been reaping a
golden harvest from the credulous
thousands who have been gullible
enough to pay their money for what
has been advertised as sure" winner

out of business. A few are still hang
ing on, staggering against the greatest
handicap which could have been given
them-a denial of the use of the
mails.
Fifty fraud orders have been is
sued and fifty names of Well-knOwn
tipsters have been posted on the
blacklist of the Post Office Depart
ment Hundreds Of thousands of
letters addressed to these tipsters
have been seized, and the best known
notified that they can never again
use the mails. One tipster has gone
to jail, and most of the others are
casting about for other lines of

SHEATH SKIRTS

Original Features to Diff

New York, June 27-The new
sheath skirts in more or less radical
form are attracting much attention
and comment, and the new millinery
IS more and more fascinating, and
the new evening frocks are increas-
ingly picturesque; but for the students
of the modes nothing in the season

than the fashionable court in it's lat
est phases
Never was there so bewildering a
variety known in coatdOm Each day
launches new models, every letter
from Paris brings word of new vag-
aries. One can hardly divide these
coats into groups
Broadly speaking, they do vary in
their avowed purposes, but the
classes so overlap that it is hard to
tell where one class ends and another
begins. The practical motor coat
merges into the less severe dust
coat; the dust coat takes unto itself
one grace and another until it be-
comes a thing so costly and ornamen-
tai that only the most extravagant of
women could associate the idea of
dust with it without a shudder. Fin
ally it merges into the summer even
ing coat.

prettiest Of these wool coats, light

the black and white checks, from shep~
herd checks to large black check de-
signs. A contrasting collar of red
green, blue or light brown, touched
with black and perhaps little black
braiding, black scarf and black but
tons make one of these checked coats
extremely attractive and the woman
who does not own car and only mo-
tors occasionally may be able TO

Should. Have Original Features

Where cretonne coat is worn
one should make sure that it posses
SEES some original features in cut or
detail which set it apart from the
multitude of cheap limitations, and
much depends upon the design, color
ing, and quality of the cretonne or
other lowered material selected. Some
of the stuffs are wonderfully beautiful
and follow closely the design of the
beautiful old printed cottons and lin
ems, but unfortunately the most de-
sirable of these have been picked UP
early by the fashionable dressmakers
and tailors, and it is not easy to find
in the shops at any price just what
one wants.
The cretonne coat CT the large cut
was a successful model turned out by
a Partisan maker and imported by a
Broadway house In design and col
or the material was exquisite soft
dull a trife yellOwed, as though
by age. The cut, though simple,
was good, and the original note of
the model consisted of the green, anG
ecru buttons and ornaments, made
by setting large French knots of
green silk very thickly upon an ecru
SiOulu, VIII green ldlleId 10 IudIC1
introduced elsewhere in loops, etc.
Black velvet or black satin is
used lightly upon a majority of the
cretonne models, and upon some OF
the fancier models plain toned lin
en- or silk material is employed for
waistcoats, revers, etc. Irish lace also
is sometimes sparingly applied, but
the palmer coats are in better style,
their effectiveness being left to their
lines and their charming oolorings.
The mania for Greek drapertes
Tanagra effects, etc, has extended in
to the realm of the coats, and var
ious wonderfully-drape cloaks are
worn by Parisians-draped coats
are not SO much on the order of the
burnous and kindred models popular
during the recent seasons as upon the
lines of the toga, tunic, etc.
