WHERE IS THIS MAN TO 60 :? He Wants An Individual Clothing Style as Every Up-to-D Date Fellow
 Does. YES, HE CAN GET
 SATISFACTION If He Reads This Article and Then Acts On Its Ad- vice.

Individual styles in mems clothing will be more in demand than ever this spring and summer. There was a time when some particular model time it would be all the go only sub sequently to become an eye-sore to the wearer because it was so infernaI- ly common. The we'll dressed man demands exclusive styIes-he wants to be sure that he will not be caught on the street or in company with another whose suit is a duplicate of his. He doesn't wish to be misconstrued for aping anyone else in dress or mis- taken for a twin-twins frequently dress alike. What he does want is an individual style made from goods that isn't bought in quantity great enough to dress the whole community. Then and then only, this man has correctly solved the question of superior dress. Could this be accomplished at the ready made clothiers' where table and shelf is piled high with all the sizes of identical style and pattern? No, of court not. Could it even be done at the ''old school merchant tailoring establishment where simply the style designs? No, not here eitheri Then where is painstaking. individual dresser to go for satisfaction? He must go to the creative tailor-the tailor who originates, plans, and car ries out the plans to give the public something different from the common place. That tailor is Wheale at 1O42 Main street. In his shop your own personal characteristics are consider ed in the production of your clothes Your own ideas are given just atten- tion. You are not simply shown a style sheet and asked which way will you have your suit made, but you are consulted about many little changes from the regular and suggestions are made for vour approval so that when your suit is made you are the posses sor of style which will set you apart from the crowd and mark you as a well dressed man. The spring and summer woolens are very choice now during the budding of the new season and the bolts of materials are just heavy enough to make every selection an exclusive one. Better look them over and experience some real satis- faction this season.

the restaurant along. It was the night of April 5, and shall never forget it. The only chance I saw to keep the res taurant going was to lick that fellow Robinson.
 When I arrived at the club, however, they told me the thing was just for fun and that nobody must be knocked out. You can imagine what kind of a go 1t was.

TIP FOR JACK JOHNSON.

, San Francisco. March 19@"When
 Johnson fights Jim Jeffries he will do
 well not to try to drive the Californian
 into corner If he does it is a shame to say what would happen.''
 This is the opinion of Sam FitZpat-
 rick. erstwhile manager of the black
 champion. in a statement issued here
 regarding his relations to Johnson.
 Fitzpatrick says Johnson is big enough
 but that he lacks the punch to put his
 opponent out He declares he never
 told Johnson he could beat Jeffries. The National Commission at it's meeting in Cincinnati yesterday de-
 cided to reinstate James c. Delehanty
 of the Washington Club who has been
 on the ineligible list for his participa- fion in games against the Logs an
 Squares of Chicago. last fall. fine of $50 will let Delehanty into the game again Another question settled af- fects the Hartford club. Charles A. Fa1lon. left fielder for the club was declared a free agent. Fal1on lost his case at the baseball meeting in Chi cago and Secretary Farrell declined to hear his appeal Fallon declared to the commission that he played with Hartford during the season of 1908 without signing a contract anc upon this fact his application to be free agent was granted
 R,th of New York's big baseball clubs are receiving many applications for season Ilck0IS nOWauaYS. one or E these applications read this way: .tAs I've been a fan for thirty years and l have always paid my way I think it's about time l had a complimentary pass If you decide to give me one

or championship cai1ber. Alt CT I had licked George Brownfield and a negro named Christy Williams asked the officials of the vapor City Athletic club to match me with some one who was capable of giving me a run for my money. At this time Sam my Maxwell, a cracking good western lightweight, was sojourning there and in excellent training. The club off, ctals were a bit ruffied over my appar- ent display of nerve" in demanding that I be matched with a good one, and they framed up to hand me a good beating at the hands of the self same Samuel Maxwell.
 Beats Sammy Maxwell.
 Maxwell was a very clever sort of boxer, his footwork being particularly good. He was up to all the western tricks of stalling, fighting foul in clinches and playing for time. warm ed up to his style after the fifth and after that Sammy had a hard time of it trying to stay on his feet. If cracked him to the mat once did it half a dozen times. I won easily.
 Having won a decisive victory over Maxwell ard got the fight fans with me, I was matched to fight Adam Ryan, lightweight, who was in close line for the championship. On that fight depended my first chance to go into business, and was determined to win or die in the attempt. We met at Little Rock, Ark, on St. Patrick's day, March IT, 1903. never lost fight on St. Patrick's day, and that gave me more confidence than I would have had ordinarily. And that is saying a whole lot. George Kelly promoted the fight.
 I tried my utmost to hammer Ryan and his wonderful reputation into the Land of Nod that evening, but the best I could do was to get a draw with him. Ryan had some class and evi- dently had seen me fight before. His seconds caUtioned him continually not to attempt to go inside or carry the fight to me. All could hear from them was, Adam, look out for his left-it's dangerous
 He followed orders all right, and, though I punished him unmercffully during the fifteen rounds fought, he managed to hang on. At the finish he had deathlike grip around my neck and was all in. You can imagine my joy and great surprise when the secretary of the club walked up and handed me $35O in cash-by far the largest lump sum I had received for one fight during my career to that time.
 Bat Buys a Restaurant.
 I had been employed in the Turf cafe at Hot Springs at the time. and. after finding a partner, I bought my boss out and the place was turned over to me. My first business venture had begun, and worked as hard to make it a success as I ever have to win in the ring. Somehow the fellows didn't seem to be quite so hungry that year as they had the season before, and the business was not near as big as that at the Waldorf in New York. As we were not making much money, I would let my partner run the restau- rant at night and would go out and fight to keep the thing going.
 I was notified that I could come up to "stag'' and fight Jack Robinson and pull down a little dough to help

 The walters words were certainly true. That fellow had vamoosed with everything in sight. My $35o that I had worked so hard to save was gone up in smoke. I was almost broken hearted
 Here. you fellows" I said, turn ing to the walters, you fellows serve all the meals and get all the money you can tonight, for haven't got any, thing else to pay you with" They all sympathized with me in my misfor- tune and went to work to scrape up what change they could. Some Of the

Chlmneys.

Chimneys are modern-that is. chim- neys with fireplaces and fues. None of the Roman ruins shows chimneys like ours. There are none in the re- stored buildings in Herculaneum and Pompeii. Roman architects complain ed that their decorations were smoked up. A kitchen in Rome was always sooty. Braziers were used in the living rooms. The chimney of antiquity con sisted of a hole in the roof. The wealthy Romans used carefully dried wood, which would burn in the room without soot. The modern chimney was first used in Europe in the four teenth. century. The oldest certain ac- count of a chimney places it in Venice in 1347

A Eish's Tail.

A fish exerts it's great propulsive power with its tail, not with its fms. The paddle wheel was made on the fin theory of propulsion, and the screw propeller had its origin in noting the action of the tail. It Is now shown that the fms of the tail actually per form the evolutions described by the propeller blades and that the fish in its sinuous motion through the water depends on the torsional of the tail to give it power.

A RUBE'S TWENTY YEARS
ADVENTURES.

The Ups and Downs of Clodhopper,
and His Famous Trip to the Land of
Gold and Sagebrush, by Thomas 5.
Kinder, Is a bundle OF rollicking, good
natured, side-splittlng fun. Its humor
does not depend upon misplaced cap
ital letters and simpllfled spelling, but
consists In the mirth-provoking ma
ture of the incidents related Every
page from start TO finish is good for
laugh. The Rube's remarkable adven-
lures are told by himself In his own
inimitable style-always OF q jolly,
good-natured, dry-fun character. Be-
ginning with his boyhood life on the
farm. where he struggled with the
calf for mastery of the situation, his
ups and downs as travelling agent for
the Wildcat Medicine Co.. his eXper-
ience as patent churn agent. and
his thrilling doings as railroad agent
and storekeeper combined. down 10
the time of his famous trip to the
beautiful Puget Sound Country and
Seattle, the City of Hills, and his re-
turn home with stop-over ticket for
Salt Lake City, Rube was constantly
on the gawk, and If there was any
thing funny that escaped his attention
the reader will be puzzled TO know
what 1t was. He never passed a sky
scraper without seeing its top, and
never ran up against a confidence
game but what he was In 1t. Besides
the fun and good humor OF his re-
markable adventures there is also
much solid information to be had by
reading the book It's graphic de-
scription of the beautiful scenery or
the Puget Sound region and OF the
Utah Valley will entrance the reader
and the accurate account given or the
sights and scenes to be enjoyed
throughout the Golden West, Will

able aid to sight-seers visiting the

STATES RECEIPTS WILL
Be GREATLY INCREASED

The meeting in Ogden Wednesday
between the state land board and
Chief Forester Clifford Pinchot was OF
much to the state. An agreement was
entered into by which the states
share OF receipts from grazing lands
in Utah will be practically tripled.
In the past the state has been re-
ceiving not to exceed one-rourth OF
the gross receipts from national graz
ing lands In the state, and in many
instances no receipts at all have been
turned into the state treasury, and in
q good many instances not more than
one-twentieth or the recapts have
been realized by the state.
At the conference with Mr. Pinchot
It was agreed that the state is en-
titled to, and shall receive, 80 per cent
net of the receipts from grazing lands.
In addition the national government is
to bear practically all the expenses OF
taking care of and handling the graz
ing lands. The agreement Will hardly
go into effect, however, before Janu-
airy !. 1910. on account OF the time II
will take to perfect the details.
Heretofore the states share or graz
ing receipts has been small item.
possibly not more than $1,000 year,
but now 1t will run up TO S3,oUO or
$4,000 possibly.
The conference was arranged by
District Forester Clyde Leavitt. me
land board members who attended
were Secretary Thomas G. Callister.

The company was greeted with n

say that should the players return the

Ing, The audience was an apprecia-
