From the Manchester Guardian.
He was a sailor boy Of about eighteen.
and his companion probably his girl
cousin-seemed to have met him at the
station and to be conducting him TO spend
some Of his leave at her home. Evidently
the boy had been 20 see his parents and
was satisfied with their general condition,
for the conversation went like this:
And how is your father?'
"Oh. he's all right
And your mOther?"
'Oh. she's all right.
How does Lucy get on at school? She
must be a big girl now.
''Oh, she's all right
Are the boys quite well2'
ooh. they're all right"
There was quite a long pause after
this. and then the girl tried again.
However do you sailors manage TO
live on ship" she said. You must
find It very monotonous."
For the first time the sailor smiled.
he answered the earliest part OF the
question by shaking his head
"Oh. we're all right. he explainCd.

RECORD BREAKING
BIDS FOR FIGHT
Already JeffrieS and Johnson
Have Offer Of $ll5,OOO
For the Mill

When the bids for the Jack Johnson
James ]. Jeffries worlds heavyweight
championship fight are opened in New
accepted, a new record for purses is
almost certain TO be established for the
game OF pugilism.
It is confidently expected by the
fighters and those interested in the
coming mill, that the men will battle
for n purse not less than 500, 600 This
is the greatest amount that any two
fighters ever have fought for. in fact
no purse approaching it ever has been
given by q promoter in any part Of the
world. Already there have been many
offers Of SIS, 600. and one Of S155. 900 for
the contest, but the bidding IS so keen
that this amount seems certain to be
surpassed when it comes to the final
offers on Wednesday.
One OF the important features Of this
bidding war lies in the fact that the
promoters are so, anxious to take
/ chances with their money at a tim,
/ when pugilism is at the lowest ebl
since It became an established sport
State legislation. in the last few year
has grown so averse to the game tina
there are only a few States in whicl
pugilistic encounters are permitted
Therefore II is all the more surprising
that record-breaking purse bids shoul
come at. this time. although it mus
be admitted by all that as an attrac
ton the Johnson-Jeries Tight is I'll
greatest in many years.
