Is THERE A CRIMINAL CLASS?
BY Jessie N. PARTON

Powers that prey on the unpro-
tected, idleness, intemperance, the
thousand-and-one instances of pub
lie greed and private wrong, even
the prejudice of the righteous,
work more harm to society in the
long run than sudden crime.
Scarcely any human being can
pass through life without injuring
someone. The portly pillars of So
ciety and the church; the sweet
and gracious matron who passes
with scornful eyebrows the woman
who falls; those persons who pre-
pare learned and eloquent treatises

Came Of Loggats Revived.

A club has been formed in western
Canada to play the old English game
of Ioggats which has long fallen into
disuse in the Old country. The pas
time is alluded to by Shakespeare.
The game consists in throwing a
pin called a loggat at stake driven
into the ground. The player who sDts
his loggat nearest the mark wins.
This is essentially our French game
Of quoits, which every one in America
pronounces "quates." The difference
Is that we use a heavy disk, or in
many regions a horseshoe instead Of
a pin.
OF losgats, Stevens, the Shakesper-
ian commentator, who died in 1900,
says: Il have seen 1t played In DIFF
ferent counties at their sheep shearing
feasts, where the winner was entitled
to black fleece, which he afterward
presented to the farmers maid to

FITz SHOWS KNOCKOUT PUNCH,
Ruby Robert Gives Demonstration
Much to His Sorrow.

Ruby Robert Fitzsimmons is al
ways ready and willing to illustrate
before sporting men just how he
knocked Jim Corbett out at Carson
City with his memorable solar plexus
punch. Not so many years ago his
former manager, Percy Williams, now
well-known theatrical magnate,
asked Fitz to show number of
friends just how Corbett was ami
hilated. Robert was in fine form
thsn, as he was training for fight
at the time.
He promptly complied with the re-
quest by calling upon Resgy Williams,
brother of his manager, to stand up
and be a victim. Reggy, however,
had been there before and knew the
power of the Cornishman's blows, SO
he was not overeager to take part in
the exhibition. So he said to Robert
Wait a minute, Bob, until go and
get a Stiff bracer, for need courage"
"All right" replied Fitzsimmons,
with grin, but hurry" Reggy
stepped over to the bar, took a nip,
and then picking up thick board he
slipped 1t under his vest. Then he
came back with the remark:
60 ahead, Bob, but not too hard"
Fitz jumped about, feinting and
sparring off like real fighter. Then
Robert shot out his terrible left and
hit the mark with crash. 1t sounded
like blow on a board fence with a
sledge hammer, and, though Williams
was knocked down, he jumped up
quickly and laughed until his sides
shook. Fitz was dancing around on
one foot, with his left hand under his
arm and look Of intense pain on his
face.
What's the matter, Bob?' asked
Percy Williams, who was next to the
trick.
What's the natter" roared the
angry Cornishman. why, me bloom
ing and Is smashed! That funny
brother of yours as a sheet of iron
under his vest!'
Fitz was a mark then for lot Of
guying, but the joke was a serious
one, for his left hand was in poultices
for six weeks.

their acts being immoral or moral, in
the broad sense, and that they have no
trace Of a sense of shame Or Of honor.
Their courage, he declares, is "a mere
impulse Of nature" and of moral cour-
age they know nothing. He continues:
And animals have no pride In the
sense of mans conception tof that
quality. They are not proud of their
hiAd, Of their kindssd, Of their indi-
viduality. They neither have an In
