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

Ruby Robert Fitzsimmons is al
ways resdy and willing to illustrate
before sporting men just how he
knocked Jim Corbett out at Carson
City with his memorable solar pleNus
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
then, a: he was training for fight
at the time.
He promptly complied with the re.
quest by calling upon Reggy Williams.
a brother OF his manager, to stand up
and be 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 minute, Bob, until | go and
get a etiff bracer, for need courage"
All right" replied Fitzsimmons.
with grin, but hurry" Reggy
stepped over to the bar, took nip,
and then picking up thick board he
slipped It under his vest. Then he
came back with the remark:
Go ahead, Bob, but not too hard"
Fftz jumped about. feinting and
sparring off like real fighter. Then
Robert shot out his terrible left and
hit the mark with a crash. 1t sounded
like blow on board fence with a
sledge hammer, and, though Williams
was knocked down, he jumped up
quickly and laughed until his sides
shock. Fitz was dancing around on
cne foot, with his left hand under his
arm and a look of intense pain on his
face.
What's the matter. Bob?" asked
Percy Williams who was next to the
trick
what's the matter?" roared the
angry COrnishman. why. me bloom
ing and is smashed! That funny
brother of yours as sheet of iron

Fitz was = mark then for lot of
guying, but the Joke was a serious
one, for his left hand was in poultices

1t IS rather difficult for US to ina
CINE people who know nothing about
fire, and as a matter of fact there are
no people now on the face Of the earth
no matter how barbarous. who do not
know now to make a fire. We make
it easily enough by striking a match,
but years ago our ancestors We're COM
PEELED to resort TO flint, steel, and tin
der. The forest dwelling people of the
farther East have an old instrument
for making fire. Near the coast every
man carries a bit of crockery in the
box of bamboo slUng at his waist a
chip off a plate and handful of dry
fungus. Holding the finder under his
thumb upon the fragment of earthen-
ware. he strikes the side OF the box
sharply and the finder takes fire But
this method can only be used by tribes
which have communication with the
foreigner who supplies them with
European goods. The inland people
use d more singular process. They
carry d short cylinder Of lead. followed
roughly 20 a cuplike form at one end.
which fits a joint Of bamboo Placing
this cvIilder in the palm OF the left
