and 1 have never blamed you. Pm not

your position at ALL but that makes no
difference. 1 shall go ahead just the

Mr. Bowser turned on her, but he
couldn't speak. He simply looked the
contempt he felt for such attempted
bribery and passed up stairs to change
his clothes. He was down in fifteen
minutes and took a dive down cellar
and was soon heard pounding away at
the barrels. The cook heard him, but
she had seen cement before and knew
there was nothing about it to explode.
When the barrels had been unheaded
their contents were mixed in a heap

DRIsCoL1 THE CLEvERER.
English Featherweight Had a Shade
the Better of AtteII.

New York, Feb. 20.-Jem Driscoll,
the English featherweight champion,
and Abe Atte1l of San Francisco,
holder of the worlds championship
Min that class, met in a ten-round bout
Friday night at the National Athletic
club and Driscoll had shade the bet
ter of the contest. They weighed in
at o'clock, neither turning the
scales at the stipulated weight, 125
pounds. No decision was given by
Referee Charley White as the laws
of this state do not permit a decision
being rendered in boxing bouts. The
cham pionship title was not involved
in the articles governing the match.
At the conclusion of the contest
both men were in good condition and
could probably have gone on for many
more rounds The experts who
watched every move were a
unit in saying that nothing short of
a twenty or twenty-five round go
would be sufficient to determine a
decisive superiority of either man.
There was not much betting on the
outcome. Even money was offered
just before the bout began. 1t was
one of the fastest and cleverest
bouts ever seen in this city. Both
men are very quick, but Attell seemed
to have more steam behind his blows.
DriscolFs left jabs were frequent and
he landed them in one-two and one
two-three fashion on Abe's face,
raising a lump over Attell's eye in
the fifth round.

We'll, if you are sure they are for
this house you may put them down
cellar. L remember to have told Mr..
Bowser some time ago that there were
holes in the concrete bottom, and I
guess he intends to have them filed
up"
The boy had a tough time getting the
barrels down cellar, but he accom-
plished it at last, and when Mrs. Bows
er told the cook that it was nothing but
stuff for concrete that female ceased to
bered bodies sailing through the air.
Mr.. Bowser arrived from the office
at the usual time, and the first thing he
asked was if the barrels had come up.
He was informed that they had, and
then was asked:
You are going to get somebody to
concrete over the holes in the cellar,
aren't you?''
He made no answer until seated at
the dinner table. Then he assumed a
look of wisdom and asked:
Mrs. Bowser. how long do you sup
pose the hard coal supply of the
United States is going to last?''
Why, 1 saw something about that in
the papers the other day, and 1 believe
it was estimated that in 120 years the
last ton would be mined"
Yes, those figures are correct. By
and we shall be fireless nation. Think
of that-not even enough fire to warm
up our chicken soupr'
But won't Yankee ingenuity have
invented a new fuel before we have
reached that date - asked Mrs. Bowser
with considerable anxiety.

The Topeka state journal., 1909-02-20

1t does me good to hear you asking
such a question. Now know that you
VIII be in sympathy with my latest
move. First, Mrs. Bowser, we must
husband the supply of coal and make it
last just twice as long. Next, we must
invent a substitute. I shall only deal
with the one problem at present"
rs that what the stuff in the barrels
and bag is for?''
Exactly, my dear. When 1 get an
idea into my head I want to go to
work at it at once. For a thousand
years science has been at work on this
tremendous problem of how to save
coal and still extract the same amount
of heat and power. Let me tell you
that Al per cent of the heat is wasted.
1t is drawn up the. chimney and dis
sipated in the air. Think of that-44
per cent, or nearly one-half! What If
that A per cent could be saved"'
You don't think you can do it, do

SHORT ROAD TO DEATH.
Negro Is Sentenced Next Day After

daughter of a farmer. was today SEN
fenced to die in the electric chair IN
the state penitentiary on March %.
Christian was taken from Clfton
a special sitting of the court by Cir
cult Judge Anderson, who accompanied
the negro and officers to F1ncastle.
Christian was indicted by the grand
i11ry and Judge Anderson appointed
three lawyers to defend him.
At a conference between the lawyers
and the prisoner, Christian made a
confession, which later he repeated in
court to the judge. The court heard
there witnesses who established the
time and place of the crime. The jury
was summoned. The judge accepted
Christians confession and imposed the

and met the red-headed boy and asked
him if there wasn't some mistake.
Not If your name is Bowser,' he re-
piled.
But what have you got in the
wagon?"
"a barrel of sand, another of lime,
and something in a bag. Boss got the
order by telephone"

Mrs. Bowser came down cellar to ask:
You won't fool with the gas meter,
will you?"
Fool! F'ooli Woman. want you to
understand that I'm a man that doesn't
fool with anything. Go back up stairs
You'll get none of the fame or glory out

Five minutes later she heard him
open the door of the furnace and shovel
in some of his conn Jund. Ten minutes
after that an acrid smell began to per-
meate the house. She shut off all the
heaters, but it continued to puff out
until she had to open the windows. She
started down cellar to ask what was
the matter. but ere she had made the
descent there came great puff of
flame that shot the furnace door open
and carried Mr.. BowSer off his feet. and
then she flew upstairs and he followed,
choking and gasping and feeling for the
eyebrows that had been Slnged or.
When they had reached the front door
and thrown it open and stood in the
Vestibule she asked:
What did you do to the furnace
Hear it roar! The house will be burned
over our heads"

managed to reply between his gaSpS-
But turn in the fire alarm and get

Fortunately for them, a fireman who
was on relief happened to be passing,
down cellar and up and down again
with pail of water from the Kitchen
and after about twenty minutes he ap-
peared, wiping his eyes, and announced
that all danger was passed, but that
they had better keep doors and win
dows open for an hour yet. Then he
added, as if an afterthought:
what blamed idiot poked that stuff
into the furnace?"
Il was trying to save half the
coal" replied Mr.. Bowser.
"Retter pump some sawdust into your
head and save half your brains, old
man"
It was half an hour later ana the
bo,sa had become habitable again

began: :

WOOLEY TO PLAY.
Cooley Secures Player Whom He
Sold to Kansas City.
Has Also Signed Marshall of the
Columbus, Miss, Team.
HAVE 6 OUTFIELDERS.
WOOley, FenlOn and Green Are
Most Likely Selections.
Cole, Marshall and Long Will
Have to Fight for Places.
SUNDAY.

The Topeka outf1eId is now complete
for the season, Manager Dick Cooley
having two new men for this depart
ment. Elijah Wooley, who has been
with the Topeka team for nearly two
years past, will be back again and will
be candidate for centerf1eld. Wooley
was sold to Kansas City last fall for
$500, but owing to the superabundance
of outf1eld talent on the Tebeau lists,
Wooley was offered back to Topeka for
the purchase price. Cooley accepted
at the beginning of the season.
Wooley's ability as a fielder is we'll
known.
The other outfelder is a youngster
named Marshall who comes from the
defunct Cotton States league. Marshall
was doped pretty high to the local
manager by some friends, whose base
ball judgment is worthy of considera-
tion. Marshall played with Columbus
last season and put up a swell game in
the outfield. He gained quite a reputa-
tion as hitter as we'll, having an aver
age of .275 for the season, which is far
from being a bad one. A number of
his hits were Of the long distance
variety.
This gives Cooley six men from
which to make his choice of a trio of
outf1elders. He has Green whom he
purchased from DucIy Holmes of Sioux
City and who with the exception of
having q bad arm is a good man, prob
ably one Of the best of Cooley'S ac-
quisitions. Then there is Fenlon, who
has played in the Western league for
number Of years and who Is more than
an ordinary hitter. These two with
Wooley look like the likely selections at
the time of the year. The other three
are Marshall, Long and Cole. There is
a chance for any of these to make
good. but If not they will be traded or
disposed of to advantage.
