BEGINS TRAINING
TO MEET JOHNSON

Chicago.-According to the state
ment of Sam Berger manager OF the
retired champion, Jeffries' theatrical
tour will end June "a and he will inn
mediately begin training for his at
tempt to regain the heavyweight title
now held by Jack Johnson.
"Jeffries will be ready to meet
Johnson within five months after the
expiration of his theatrical contract.
which ends tomorrow. said Berger.
Mind you we do not want to state
definitely that it will be five months
to the day. Jim wants five months
in which to train actively for the en-
gagement That is all he asks.
"The club that offers the best in
ducements will get the MILL that is
all there is to It, Jeffries, of course,
prefers an American club, and be-
lieves the battle should be decided in
this country. But should an Austria
Ian club offer better inducements than
any American organization he would
consider such an offer"
Speaking of Jeff's condition Berger
said, "Beleve me, Jeffries never has
missed a single day in training since
he took to the road. He has brought
himself down from 254 pounds, which
was his exact weight when he started
training, to 23S, which Is his weight
this minute, and believe me, no one
lived n hattpr lifa tbop docs IT,, N
the present tig1e I never saw man
with a stronger ambition to do things
than he possesses right now. He has
three meals day, but they are all
moderate and well within training
bounds.

THE MISSING MIssIvE.
One Romance of Uncle Sans Dead
Letter Office.

LeIteT OT0Ce.
Something like 100000 letters an
nually fail Of delivery in the United
States owing to insufficient postage or
incorrect addresses The dead letter
office at Washington employs a large
force Of clerks to handle these. The
packages that have been received at
the dead letter Office have contained
false teeth, glass eyes, brass keys and
thousands Of other things that one
would never expect to lind in the
| nails
1t would be interesting to know how
many engagements have been broken,
| how many friends have been estrang-
ed, how many fond hearts have not
been reunited, how many deals have
fallen through, how much money has
been lost and how many quarrels have
been prevented by letters that never
came.
A pretty romance was revealed at
the dead letter Office the other day
when a young woman called there to
see If a whongfuliy addressed letter
had been received. 1t had, and she
was greatly relieved. 81 heard that
Jack was untrue" she said, "and
wrote him breaking our engagement.
The day after wrote found out that
/ was wrong. Ny heart was almost
broken, but Jack kept right on coming
to see me and never mentioned the let
ter. I began to think must have
misdirected 1t and find that 1 did. 1t
must have been fate. Now he will
never know."-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

An Odd Sort Of Dinner and the Rea

son Of II.
Lord Polkemmet, q Scottish lord of
session, usually retired to his country
residence during the part Of the year
when the court does no business.
John Hagart, the Scottish advocate,
equally idle from a similar cause,
went to shoot, and, happening to pass
Lord P.'s property, he met his lord
ship, who politely invited John TO take,
or, as he said. to TAX, family dinner
with himself. his wife and daughter.
John accepted the invitation, and
they all assembled at the hour Of din
ner. There was joint Of roasted veal
at the head Of the table and stewed
veal at the bottom, veal soup in the
middle, calf's head on one side Of the
soup and veal outlets on the other,
calf's foot Jelly between the soup and
roast veal and calf's brains between
the stewed veal and the soup.
MOO" said his lordship in his own
blunt way, "Mr. Hagart, you may very
likely think this an odd sort of dinner.
but yen no wonder when you hear the
cause Of It. We keep nae company,
Mr.. Hagart, and my daughter here ca
tiers for our table. The way we do is
Just this: We kill a beast, as it were,
today, and we just begin to cook 1t at
one side of the head, travel down that
side, turn the tail and just gang back
again by the other side to where we
began"

Had bully matinee,
And Otis Skinner sold out, pretty nigh.

Was The Gambler of the West
Though some preferred The Bells by Thomas
Shea.

Was the kid that caught the town,
Packed the old place to the roof
And Clara Turner knocked em with Camille

And local children done The Teddy Bears.
