Despite that Mustain is the shortend-
er in the betting at the ridiculous odds
of 10 to and to 1, he cannot be
denied at least a good chance to win.
While an the subject of odds, it is ap-
propriate to remark that very few of
these to / shots ever fail to come
home first i'll local and other coast
fights, as such instances as the Nelson
Cans, Papke- e-Ketchell, Burns-O'Brien,
and many others fully attest. Odds
never won a fight and history may re-
peat itself tonight.
There is nothing in the ring history
of Kaufman that entities him to rank
as such an odds-on favorite as 1 to 8
when meeting a fighter of the proved
class of Mustain. True, Kaufman has
done all that ever has been asked Of
him, with one exception, but 1t is
doubtful if he has fought a man of

Couldn't Scare Them.

A Denver man who rents his motor
car by the trip or hour was seated IN
the machine with friend, waiting for
business, on a downtown corner the
other afternoon, when young couple
from the country came up. 1t was
plain to be seen they were bride and
groom. The young man from the
country said they had just arrived
from central Kansas and wanted to
see Denver. He arranged for the
motor car man to take them for an
hours trip and paid the charges IN
advance. The country couple took the
back seat. The drivers friend sat In
the front seat with him.
I'm going.t to have some fun" said
the driver in a low tone to his friend.
'T'm going to run fast and scare those
hayseeds."
He ran to the east edge Of town and
then let the machine out to the limit.
It rocked and jumped till the drivers
friend became alarmed.
"Say," he said, you'd better ease up
on It or you'll kill us all"
Look around and see IL the bride
and groom are scared" was the reply,
Before the other man could turn and
look the Kansas farmer touched the
driver on the shoulder.
"Hey, feller," he said, there's anoth
or dollar. Make her run fast, Will
you?'-Denver Post.

Imaoinary Necessities.

"Were 1t not for the thousands Of
people who are slaves to imaginary
necessities we might have avoided the
panic of last October" says writer
in Appleton's. 1T was these people
Indirectly who brought It on. 1t was
these people who suffered most when
It came. The laws Of nature are iron
in their retribution. The man who Is
earning $50 a week and spending SIS
does not fear panics. Neither does
the man who is earning $4,000 a
year and spending $4,000. Sailors
who do not know how to reef their
sails would be at the mercy Of squalls.
People who do not know how to cut
down their expenses are at the mercy
Of panics. A certain rich New Yorker,
who retired from the stock exchange
recently, started business 40 years
ago with three friends. When times
were prosperous he could not afford ia
live as we'll as they did. When times
were hard they had to borrow money
Of him in order to live at all"

Keeping Account.

Congressman Champ Clark has .
story of a Kansas City lawyer, lately
deceased, which illustrates the din.
oulties Of achieving a saving sense OF
economy.
It had occurred to the lawyer short
" before his death to buy a memo
randum book wherein he would 1ot
down the items Of his daily expendi-
ture. thus enabling him to compare
notes from day to day, and so learn
to regulate his disbursements.
The book was bought, and after the
lawyers death, his executors, going
over his effects, came across 1t. One
of them, interested to ascertain how
far his friend had been successful In
regulating his expenses, opened the
book. only to find themselves the sole
item:

cents" -Illustrated Sunday Magazine.

Dodge City a meeting at just that
much later in the morning and
the later the train reached here in
the forenoon the more chance the
people over the county would have
to reach town by the time the train
was to arrive. Dodge CITY had
nothing to do with scheduling the
Taft train and the above seems to
come all because OF the statement in
the papers that Dodge City would be

was taken from the Topeka papers.

The Globe-republican., 1908-10-01

The Garden City Telegram OF
September Goth. has an insinuation
in il that is hard to account for. In
stating that Garden City had
succeeded in having the Taft train
stop at that place, the Telegram says:
at was all the more appreciated be-
cause we had been told that we
could not get this honor, and Dodge
City and other points had indiscreet-
" made much sport Of Garden City
at its supposed loss" The fact is
that the men who have been in
charge Of the Taft meeting here
have hoped from the first that the
train could be stopped at Garden
City because it is an important
point in the Seventh district. The
matter was talked over here at diff
ferent times and it was the idea
among local Republicans that the
state chairman should arrange tc
stop the train at Garden City. The
arrangements were learned OF here
from the Topeka papers and we had
no direct information to go on.
When it was learned that the train
would be stopped at Garden CITY
everyone the writer heard speak Of
the matter was pleased chat Garden
City had been given Taft meeting
and considered that it showed gooc
judgement in the state chairman

Woman Tougher Than Man.

Although men, as they run, are per
haps muscularly stronger than WON
en-, their ability to Withstand the ele
ments and their reliance upon clothes
places them considerably below the so
called weaker sex in the matter Of I'M
clothed toughness. Women wear
clothes for ornament; men use them
as a protective covering. A group Of
men marooned, clothesless on an island
in the temperate zone might be expect
ed to die off in a month from draughts
and colds and rheumatism. The health
Of women similarly placed would suf'
fer little from the enforced exposure.
The fact appears to be, therefore. that
in everything but muscle-in vitality,
ruggedness, character, disposition,
brain power, etc.. woman is the tough.
er, not the weaker, sex.

MAKE IT A BIG DAY

When the Taft train reaches Dodge
CITY let us make showing worthy OF
Ford county. This county is the
western gate Of the Kansas wheat belt.
IT is an important agricultural county
and it has been increasing in import
ance very fast during the last few
years, so fast that the fact is not as
generally known outside as it should
be, SO fast, in fact, that we may not
fully realize it ourselves. We are be-
coming a good sized community, and
we want to continue growing. The
more we impress others Of the extent
to which we have grown, the more
PEOPLE we will attract to help us grow.
The committee who have had the
matter in charge have advertised the
event we'll over the county. They
have offered prizes for the best loads
of wheat, and it is expected that there
will be a good line Of wheat wagons
at the south of the crowd during the
Taft speech. 1t is the desire to have
a line Of automobiles from town and
from the county, drawn up between
the loads of wheat and the crowd OF
people about the train.
The people from the country are
going to furnish a pretty good crowd,
from present reports. A special
train, it is understood, will be run up
from Bucklin and Ford over the
Rock Island. Santa Fe No. will
stop at Cimarron, and No. 8 will stop
at Spearville to bring people from
those towns.
Now, if every body in Dodge City
will make it point to be at the
train, there will be crowd worthy
Of Ford county. Those who have
automobiles should have them in the
section which will be held for them.
There will be no trains run through
the yards while the Taft train is
here. The tracks will probably be
roped off until the train arrives, then
the crowd will be let in upon the
tracks back of the Taft train. The
railroad officials here will see that
everything is made safe for this ar
rangement.
The committee on decorations is
asking that everybody display their
flags and properly decorate the
houses and business blocks all over
town for this occasion. Let Dodge
City do just little bit more than
any Of the other towns along the line
will do. 1t will speak well for Dodge
City, and don't be afraid to do toe
much, because there will be good
chance Of us falling behind some Of
the other towns.
