There Is one loss sustained by drug
gists that very few people know
about" said the experienced clerk.
THAT Is In the prescriptions that have
to be made over. the same as clerks,
stenOgraphers, writers and artists, no
matter how painstaking. frequently
have to do their work over. The most
careful drug clerk in existence is bound
to make mistakes sometimes In meas
uring and mixing. He may pour In too
much Of some kind Of liquid or sift
In too much Of certain powder. In
most cases the overdose would not real
ly affect the value Of the medicine, but
the conscientious clerk isn't going to
take any chances on numbering any
body, so he throws away the whole
mixture and makes up another pre-.
Seription. New York Globe.

There seems TO be a strong tide
toward Bryan throughout the Pa
citie coast country, and this may
cause some big surprises when the
votes are counted. This condition Is
fairly illustrated by the poll Of one
OF the precincts in this county which
two years ago gave a big republican
majority and now shows two votes
for Bryan TO one for Taft. This
change Is the result OF republicans
declaring for the democratic nomi-
nee and Ia among the farmers. Re-
ports from many parts OF the west
show similar conditions. A news
stand at Walla Waila has sold al
most 100 Bryan buttons and but
seven Taft buttons. These things
show the drift OF public feeling be-
yond a question OF doubt and ii
would not be surprising II Bryan

DANE NOT GREATEST
MAN OF HIS POUNDS
IN His Prime Cans Showed
Better Punch and
Science.
By THOMAS S. RICE.

Give credit where due. Joe Cans,
,egro. proved concIusiveiy yesterday
afternoon in san Francisco that he had
10 yellow streak" He also proved Uhar
ne had the highest type of courage-thar
10 die On his feet when he knew ne had
no chance.
The fight was one OF the first big con-
tests on the Pacific coast in many long
days that was absolutely true TO form.
Nelson beat Cans in precisely the man
ner that he was expected 10 beat him.
Cans proved the better boxer, cut and
stabbed his opponent at viii, but did not
have driving power enough left I'm his
long Over-tTaiHed form 10 force back
the rugged antagonist who was relent-
lessly pounding his body IN every round.
That was the conclusion OF the whole
matter Every rush, every exchange
weakened the negro, who knew in his
heart that he had not sufficient power
left 10 knock out his white rival. while
the charges and counters Of the falling
man had no effect upon the hardy Dane,
who realized fun well ne had nothing TO
fear
Cans Broke His Hand.
Cans claims me broke his hand IN the
eighth round, and there viii be little
reason TO doubt that statement. ANY
man WHO has bet on Cans in the past
1--WE years has had 10 do so with the
knowledge that at any moment his
fighter might be left practically Of
fenseless because of crushed bones. In
the eighth round after Nelson had
pressed him unusually hard, Cans
caught him two vicious uppercuts To
the jaw In daspairing effort to make
hin' behave, and it was probably right
there that the hand went.
But it was not such an accident that
caused the dnal ore--hrow uf one If
The greatest fighters that ever lived. He
was logically and thoroughly beaten in
a perfectly natural triumph Of youth
and strength over science and weakened
vitality.
Right here it may be said that apart
from the hectic press writers on the
coast. no IeveI-headed boxing expert is
likely 10 credit Nelson with being The
greatest lightweight that ever han
pened, and it viii be hard 10 convince
thousands OF them that Nelson today
is as good as Cans was ten years ago
Cans was "a man who had a science and
ring geEeraIship that was uncannv. a
punch that was more deadly than any
thing Nelson has ever shown, and ne
had now demonstrated that he always
had courage, for that is Unborn and
not acquired
Nelson is the lightweight champion of
the world beyond all peradventure Of
a doubt with no one on the horizon
who looks good enough to give him

not forget that there was something

but inevitably, hammered into helpless

think, affected the attendance.
