FITZPATRICK SAYS BURNS
WANTS TOO MUCH MONEY

London, April 2S.-There We're fur
ther negotiations today with the idea
of arranging a contest between Jack
Johnson, the colored heavyweight
pugilist, and Tommy" Burns, the
heavyweight champion. Johnson and
his manager, Fitzpatrick, arrived last
night from New York for the purpose
of arranging the fight
After reading the conditions under
which Burns deposited $4,000 with a
sporting newspaper for a meeting with
the negro, Fitzpatrick said:
There is no use in trying to do any
thing until Burns gets the idea that he
is to have 100000 as his share of the
purse. out of his head. Nobody is
likely to offer a purse large enough to
make it possible for Burns to get such
a lump of money"
Johnson will remain in England for
some weeks.

a Word to Real
Estate Owners

If you have property to dispose of you certainly
desirous of doing so to best advantage. One thing
you can't afford to do is to stint your advertising
Many $4,000 houses are sold for $2500 because their
advantages of location conveniences, etc., and the
simple fact that they are for sale, are not widely
made known few dollars spent intelligently
in doing this will add hundreds to the selling price
Real estate advertising appeals to home-loving peo
pie, and the Journal going as it does into the pros
porous homes of Augusta, Gardiner, Haowell, Wa
terville, and the surrounding towns and rural dis
tricts, produces results in every case where the
property is at all desirable offered at fair price
and presented in an attractive manner Real estate
we'll advertised is half sold.

day at houses trimming and fixing up our

things do not have that daring imported look, l
assure YOU.
And my listener said, very emphatically, mo-
indeed"
1t all seemed very cozy and homeke too, whis-
pering in snatches between the times when the
blond woman would come out in another kind of
corset; but what do you think Eta? This morning
there account of that meeting in the paper
and there every last word had whispered to
that nice little woman, printed right out there too
l thought Amos would be dreadfully mad; but he
said Teale had always told him that it was better
for Congressman to have picture of the back of
his head in the newspaper than picture at all,
and that the publication of his wfe's loyalty
to the dressmaker standards in Hopeville might
serve to remind his constituents that he had not
taken shelf in the political morgue at Washing
ton. Amos is getting SO imbued with his work
that even when he talks privately to me it sounds
like campaign speech.
By the way, when was coming away from the
corset talk, met Congressman Teae right by that
parlor door. He said he had been looking all over
the house for Amos. 1 asked whether he had

cause Amos had spoken on the
train of several matters he would
like to set the President straight on.
Mr.. Teale said he had not thought
of that Then he glanced into
that room where they were pack
ing up the corset woman's be-
longings. But he didn't seem at
all embarrassed. He just looked
me right in the eye and added
the funniest remark, which couldn't
have had anything to do with
Amos, that l see.
1t was a personal offense to
me-" he said, when some en-
terprising shoe firm adopted the
portrait of Queen Louise to their
advertising needs. and, though it
isn't any of my business, l should
hate to see Madonna head
grated on a modern fashion plate"
He is queer, isn't he? But
such lovely manners
l hope you won't think me
disloyal; but sometimes wish Amos
did not think book on etiquette
is merely joke book. You
know he told you, when you were
trying to persuade the selectmen
to put Social Usages' on the
list of new books to be bought
for the library, that when man
tried to learn how to bow and
scrape out of book, it was be-
cause he was trying to fill up the
chinks in his brain with putty.
And Amos certainly has solid
brains
This is not the great news nor
the diplomatic secrets l promised;
but you know Amos does not
take the oath of Office for week,
and it is only after Congress opens
that he can get that appropria-
ton for the new court house and
really establish confidential rela-
tions with the Cabinet and foreign
officials
These are just my first expert
ences as Congressman wife, and
they do not sound any more jum-
bled than they are in The mind of
your affectionate, ambitious, but
just a little bit homesick friend,
