Boxing as a Sport
8 NssR&Nas&ssN
By Rev. e. w. Thwing.

The Rev. Mr.. Thwing was one of the
interested spectators the other night of
the boxing event at the Fishmarket,
and, at the request of the Advertiser,
he gives his views of the sport as fol-
lows:
"Neither personally nor on behalf of
the Ministerial Union have l been
working to prevent boxing as true
sport. I was invited, with Judge Dole,
by the chairman of the Fleet Athletic
Committee to witness the boxing con-
tests at the ishmarket Tuesday even
ing, where no admission was charged
and no prizes offered. For myself | do
not care for that kind of sport but /
can not rightly object to any one else
enjoying it as long as it is carried ON
legally. The manly art as long as it
remains manly, may be much enjoy
ed. Prizefghting as business is de-
basing and injurious. The contests |
saw seemed to be conducted in a sports
manlike way. There were no knockouts
or bloody appearance, and the boys
seemed to be having friendly bout.
I was glad to meet Lieut. Weaver, who
is in charge of the feet athletics, and
asked him his opinion as to the differ
ence between boxing and 'prizefght
ing He said: 1t is the boxing for
money that makes prizefghting. 1t is

BASE BALL, The National Game

has been murdered in the 1fst de- gree here in Waterbury. US mighty queer that such a lot of good ball players as our Brass city has should turn on their heel and go down to last place Of course there is i'll all probability some cause, but surely the people who pay to go witness game are not to blame. If they don't want to play, why, get down and out. If they are sick, take week off and get better. Bns as young tad said the other day, Hully gee, did ye hear de guy on de bench cussing and swearing at de players when dey'd come in off de teld? The other chap said Yes. and if l wus one of dem I'd smash his face, because dat's no way to make a teller play good" No, sirree, young man, you're right; you'll never accomplish much by using your tongue in that manner. Naughty words and cuss- ing must be entirely "cut out II you want to do good work and have eV- erybody around you happy. It's the same way at your home. Many a man has been angered 10 such an extent as to make him swear terribly right in his own house just because his wife wouldn't call at our store and get the GOOD quality of tea, cof- fee and butter, and she wouldn' t have to pay any more for the nice tasting kind we sell than for the trashy quality elsewhere.

Real Joy for the Stomach
Stomach Facts Worth Remembering.

Don't read this; it's only an ad," said
Mr. Weisenheimer to his frau. Just like
a woman, she read il anyhow Why
shouldn't she? Doesn't she have to read
the department store ads to keep abreast
of the bargain counter? HIM, How could
she find out things If she did not read?
She would never know there was such a
thing as real joy for dumpy, weakened
PANTY stomach. She would never know
that taking laxatives to cure constipation
does not cure constipation, but continues
it, unless she read it. She wouldn't know
that disorders of the stomach, whether
it be gas or gastritis. are due to prostra-
ton. prostration of the glands that are
supposed to manufacture the digestive
juice But they actually are.
All ills of the stomach are due to this
prostration and all are benefited by the
antidote of this prostration, the wonder
fully soothing yet powerful Prosene. Go
to any druggist and tell him to fix I'D for
you one ounce of Prosene Compound.
Compound Tincture OF Cinchona one
ounce; Sherry Wine, half pint To be
taken teaspoonful before meals and al
bedtime. Try this for a week on the adj
vice of the Cooper Pharmacal company
OF Chicago, who are the originators of
Prosene and stand back of every state
ment made for it. Then you'll cOngratu-
late yourself that you read the ad. and

HOT WEATHER FOR CIRCUS
Officials Try to Beat Out Actual Con-

Failure.

The four-toed bovalopus had all the
glory he wanted yesterday in the weather
line. The last time the four-toed bova-
and showed and broke down his tents
and wouldn't give him chance to dis
play himself at all. The bovalOpus made
up for lost time yesterday. He brought
with him weather that was swiz-
zling, sizzling. sweltering. He brought
people TO his own tent, in order that he
might have revenge on them. and then
laughed derisively when they complained.
Surely ii was hot in that circus tent
yesterday afternoon Surely, too, II was
hot in that circus tent last night. but
the fOur-tOed one only scratched his off
ear and chuckled in spiteful vengeance.
, The best the official weather man could
lopus did was lis.
The prediction given out yesterday was
that there would be local showers last
night and today. An abortive attempt
at q local shower was made at about III
O'Clock last night. but it couldn't be dig
nified with the name of shower, for 1t
was only a sprinkle
Meanwhile. everybody is hoping for bet
ter things today, when the bovaiopus has
taken his departure.
