MA r.. NOAH 6RUSSo. heavy
I'VE weight pugilist by trade, isn't
winning many newspaper
championships these days, despite the
fact that he's the only big pug keeping
himself in the limelight just now.
Scarcely paper from the Atlantic to
the Pacific coast dishes out any salve
to him. When Tommy Burns" chats
his fighting labeI beats man easily
he is charged with being the champion
lemon picker in the business, and when
you mention Burns to Boss Jeffries
Old Man Fitzsimmons and some of the
other big guns they turn up their noses.
Now, Burns has done one or two
things In the ring that should have
won him credit, but ever since the gent
from Canada took the trip across the
briny deep to clean up the champions
of Europe, and at the same time pick
up a little loose change, an epidemic
has seized most of the pugilistic scribes
and. instead of the laurel wreath, they
give him the hammer.
If Tommy is meeting easy marks in
England it's his good fortune, rather
than his fault, and. who of the fighters
would not grasp the chance to annex
a couple thousand sovereigns il it came
their way? Mighty few, if any. The
roads Of a pugilst aren't strewn with
gold nuggets, and those who have not
reached the top get little for their
bumps.
Then, too, Burns had no written
guarantee that the men whom he would
encounter would be little more thar
human punching bags. Gunner. Moil
had good record in England. Burns
took the chance, travelled to q foreign
country and in the presence of a hos
tile crowd knocked out the pride oi
Britain In ten rounds.
In this country Burns fought his
way to a place at least within strik-
ing distance Of the championship. They
say that he wouldn't have chance
against Jeffries. Maybe not, since jeff
is almost twice his size in weight and
inches.
When jeff retired he offered to trans
fer the championship crown to the
winner Of the Marvin Hart-Jack Root

One On Deeringer.

The boys tell good story on W. N.
Deeringer, the popular and efficient
freight conductor. 1t may be true and
it may not be true. but that doesn't
matter. 1t seems that MI. Deeringer,
while plotting his train over the Rocky
mountains, stopped at Summit for
orders. The exigencies of the moment
were such that he had no time to lose,
or at least he didn't want to lose any,
and he rushed into the depot, set his
lantern on the floor, went through the
usual formalities necessary, and then
made grab for his lantern and rushed
out to his train. Some time later the
genial conductor had occasion to again
refer to his lantern, when he made the
rather startling discovery that, instead
OF his lantern. he had the depot coal
scuttle on his arm. The Pilot does moi
believe that there is particle of truth
in the story, as Mr.. Deeringer does moi
possess any such excitable and nervOu,
disposition as here portrayed.

Superintendent Allen has recently
visited the work in the manual train
ing, and reports excellent progress
in most lines. On account of quite
a number of additional grades, Mr.
McElroy has not been able to give
quite the individual attention to the
work that he gave last year; but he
is doing his best and we consider
this work strong feature in our
school system. When questioned as
to whether they like the work in
manual training, nearly every boy
and girl give strong answer in the
affirmative. Only few answer in
the negative. Many of the boys are
so much interested in manual train
ing that they have obtained special
permission from Superintendent Nc
Elroy to work overtime, and often
a number of them may be seen in

SATURDAY NIGHT QUINCY
AND HIS FRIENDS COMING.

One of the attractions booked at
the Park opera house for Saturday,
March 21, is Quincy Adams Saw
yer" the great New England drama
in its fifth season of uninterrupted
success. Everyone who has read the
book of the same name from which
the play was taken, will want 20
see the dramatization, and those
who have not read the book, will
want to see the play just the same,
for everybody loves a clean. whole
some play of New England life, and
Tins is just what Quincy Adams
Sawyer" is.
Rest of all it has departed from
the weather beaten tracks of the oil /
time drama. The pleasing points
are a simple, sweet love story. u
continuous series of humorous Incl
dents, and an almost heretofore m
known naturalDess and purity that
g.eryades the entire play.
To begin with you start at the
country store and postcffice where
you see Quincy Adams Sawyer" as
the city chap helping his country
friends and outdoing his country
enemies. You are made known of
the pretty love affairs of several of
the village young folks and your in
terest IN W"S"n's corner folks is
firmly established.
Next YOU ind yourself at the
CROSSROADS. Here takes Place one
Of the prettiest touches of the play,
where Ziekel describes the surround
irgs to his blind sister. The scene
shifts to Mrs. Putnam's sitting-room
and you meet the ludicrous Saman-
tina, and grow a bit apprehensive
over Lindy's affairs which have got
into curious tangle.
Next you find yourself at a real
husking-bee at the Pettingill farm
yard. You will hold your sides in
laughter at the grotesque dancing
of Abner Stiles and Mrs. Crowley.
When you recover, you find that
you are in the midst of a good old
fashioned snow-storm, but you shiver
for only a minute or two, for the in
terror of the comfortable Pettengill
homestead is opened to your gaze
Everybody eats supper, all the tangl-
ed love affairs are Strengthened out
and everybody is supremely happy.
You are happy too, for the joys and
sorrows of those quaint people have
been your own. You go away with
the singing of the doxology lingering
in your ears. and feeling that you
have tasted piece of genuine rural
atmosphere.
