Of these poor little lighters bcgsing for a
go. One night I stood near a group OF
them. admiring the slashing boxing OF y
boy named Joe O'Rourke. He was a great
little fighter and I finally turned TO a pale
chap who wore a ragged sweater and said:

why shouldn't he be-? was the reply.
He's got a good home and has three

There are a lot Of these half fed fight
ers boxing ten hard rounds for a 80 or a
$40 note almost every night in the week in
the smaller clubs. They tell me these clubs
are THE only ones in town that are really
making money. It's easy to understand it,
| though. when YOU consider that the eN-
penses in some cases are not more than
500 a night. They say that the Longscre
Athletic club has made a pot Of money in
this manner.
Jack McAuliffe made a proposition
when he opened his Marathon club in
Brooklyn to the National and Fairmont
clubs that there should be no bidding
against one another in the effort to secure
star matches. but Mckuliffe was politely
informed that he would have to make a
success of his CLUB first before the two
New York concerns would be willing TO
talk turkey with him. McAulifte has since
made good, though at one time the Mara
thons were about $500 In the hole. On
June 1 the Variations will begin holding
important bouts at Timer park.

Ma Money fer CIubs.

ITS a fact that bis clubs in this city
like the National and Fsirmont have not
made any money because the fighters ask
and receive so much for their services. The
only way the clubs can protect themselves
is 60 combine and cease outbidding one an
other for star bouts. They should agree
on a fixed limit for purses, say 5000 for
ten rounds, a half hours work in the ring.
How many actors or professional men get

I have taken into consideration the fact
that pugilists cannot fight every night, but
still they ought TO be reasonable i'm their
demands and give the clubs a chance.
While the big fighters are overpald, the
smaller fry are generally underpaid. You
know there are many willing boys who go
into the ring night after night for a couple
OF dollars at a time. and they often put up
a better fight than the swelled-headed
champions. They just punch away, think
ing that some day they will reach the top.
Some of these poor little serappsrs have no
homes. sleeping anywhere and everywhere
and going half the time without proper
food. Many Of them subsist on free lunch

VALET TELLS OF MEREDITH
Noveist's Only Luxuries, He Says. Were Good Wine and Cigars
 Interesting SideIishts.

London.-Interesting sidelights are thrown on the late George Merediths s mode of working in an interview with Frank Cole, the novelist's favorite valet, published in the London Press
 Sometimes in the early days of my 30 years service at Boxhill," says Cole, my master worked all day, but on other days he did little or nothing He never seemed to care about his own comfort and slept all the year round in the little chalet in his gar den
 His only luxuries were good wine and cigars. He was a splendid judge of both and was delighted at the oc- casional acquisition of an extra-pre- cious vintage. He was keenly inter- ested in politics and shortly before his death said that the suffragettes had ruined their cause by their vio- lent methods"
 Cole was Meredith's handy man and accompanied the novelist on his daily walks, later conducting his bath chair and donkey chaise and chatting with him freely. Though he has sold handful of manuscripts to J. Pierpont Morgan for $4,0O0, he possesses the dining table, set of novels and other relics of his master.

MAKING BEEF IN THE SOUTH
Results of Experiments at Mississippi Station Tend to Show 1t
 Is Profitable.

J. A. Mclean of the Mississippi ex- beef making in the south is possible. He announces results of recent experi- ments as follows:
 Cottonseed meal and hulls when fed to two-year-olds give excellent daily gains at profit making cost.
 V Hing will not finish into market condition in a 100-day period on cot tonseed meal and hulls.
 A full ration of meal for two-year- olds, as indicated by this experiment, should not exceed 7.5 pounds per head per day and probably not more than seven pounds per head per day. One-year-old stock cannot econom- ! ically consume six pounds per head Eper day of meal.
 Discussing the situation in a general way he says:
 Trick fever has been great factor in keeping men from stock growing. Many impressions have been freely scattered broadcast regarding the tre- mendousiy great damages wrought by the fever tick and the inability to ob- viate these evils. There is no ques- tion but that care has to be exercised in growing cattle south of the tick inc Nevertheless, they are success fully grown throughout all the south ern states. Mississippi, Florida and Georgia all have great numbers of xcellent dairy cattle that prosper Fithout undue care. Texas, Arkansas nd to lesser extent Mississippi and labama grow excellent cattle of the eef breeds. It is not then an imprac- gal thing to grow cattle in the tick tested areas.
 The hardships wrought by the xas fever tick are twO-fold. Direct they affect the individual. When ticks become numerous on an ami they deplete it's vitality, reducing to an emaciated condition.

Declared as Nesting and Breed
 ina Place for Disease Germs.
Senator of Kansas Says State Has Suffered Greatly from Popular ln1- pression 1t Is a Sort of Home
 for GaIWays.

Topeka, Kan.-If Dr. Crumbine of ceeds in his new reform of cutting off the whiskers which have made a certain brand of politics famous in this state, thousands of people will rise up and call him blessed. Dr. Crumbine, in the interest of public health, declares that the long, un- kempt boards, which grew luxuriantly upon the faces of some of the men of Kansas, are nothing short of nesting and breeding place for germs.
 Kansas has been getting away from the whisker habit, until now only few of the older men wear long boards. The young men of the state have learned that a whiskered face is ta- booed in good society, and few there are that are displayed in the ball. room, the reception parlor or the . theater It is the middle-aged and old men who still cling to the hirsute ap- bondage, and these constitute the class which Dr. Crumbine is trying to reach in the interest of the public health.
 The health board secretary, after an exhaustive investigation, says heavy growth of whiskers is the natural hiding place for germs and the pri- mary cause of many of the infectious diseases which baffle the skill of the medical fraternity. A man with a thick, heavy growth of whiskers un- der the chin, Dr. Crumbine says, rare ly ever permits water, much less soap, to find it's way to the skin, thus car rying around with him constantly veritable nest of germs sufficient to in feet a whole neighborhood
 Not a few men who believe in the whisker as a facial adornment have written to Dr. Crumbine to protest against the liberty he takes in seeking to cut and curtail Kansas boards. but nevertheless, the general public is with the doctor in this latest crusade, as the letters which pour into his of flee every week amply testify.
 State Senator Brady of Lawrence, who has long fought whiskers, is one of Dr. Crumbine's stanch supporters. He says: "In the days of Papulism, Kansas acquired reputation that has done the state incalculable harm. In the east there is general belief that the whiskers in this state obscure the sun, and no cartoonist would think of picturing a Kansas farmer without adorning his chin with beard akin to that worn by Russian nihilist.

 The plan originated with the late Friedrich Althoff, minister of educa- tion, who enthusiastically advocated converting the foremost educational institution of the empire into Ger man Oxford and taking it from the heart of the metropolis. It develops that the kaiser has taken up Althoffs project Snd caused plans to be pre- pared and submitted to the educa- tional authorities and to number of his closest personal advisers.

Chicago.-The popularity of the bull fight has decreased in Mexico to such an extent that it has been replaced in the favor of the better classes by grand opera and drama, according to Senor Balbino Davalos, Mexico's charge d'affaires at Washington, who came to Chicago to address the Asso- citation of Commerce at the annual banquet
 ITO foreign capital" he remarked we owe much of our recent advance ment, and also to the great peace which has reigned over the land for so many years. The bullights are slowly dying out and today only the people of the lower classes attend them to any extent. Whether they will ever cease completely is hard to say, but they are no longer the most important entertainment of the people of Mexico. We now have high-class opera and drama, made possible through the efforts of the govern ment, which helps to get foreign companies to bring their best opera and drama to the theater in the City of Mexico.

 Some people never know a good thing when they see it because they seem to think the good thing should recognize them first.

Labor Saving Tools.

It is unwise to do by hand any work which can be done as we'll by ma chinery. The time saved is one con- sideration, and the energy saved is another.
 Uniformity of product can be ob- tained better by mechanical means than by hand. No two operators are alike in skill, and the condition of bodily fatigue or other physical weak nesses often determines the output. With a machine, there is no fatigue and no dislike of the task and the work is done more perfectly than by any other method.
 A greater amount of work can be done by mechanical means than by hand. for the steadiness and the time saved are important factors. Con- petition demands that everything be produced with as little expense as possible. and when we are able to save time to be used in doing some thing else, it is a clear profit.
