Knocked Down Dane.

The enthusiasts who had backed the
Dane looked gloomy when the first
round opened with a klOCkdoWn TO
Unhoiz's credit, the first time Nelson
was ever hit OF his legs. BY the time
the third round opened the UnhoIz men
were Offering even money and there
were 10 takers.
1t was noticed that all through the
fight, even when he had UuhoIz appar-
emily in trouble in the sixth and sew
enth rounds, Nelson was very wild He
fought with all OF his old aggTessiVeness
but his wallops went wild Of the mark
I'm many cases and UnhOlz did not dis
play unusual cleVerness- After the sew
enth round Unholz rested up fer a bit
and stalled of Nelson's attack, but in

body. Nelson kept boring in all the
time, and once in the tenth round all

The most important part of eduCa-

of the character of people men form
ideals of character for themselves and
are transformed thereby. Herein lies
