passions the loves and hates, the comedies

produced around us in real life.

Cams Dry humor.

When the gallant Welsh captain
David Gam was sent forward by
Henry V. to reconnoiter the French
army before the battle of Agincourt
he found that the enemy outnumbered
the English by about five to one. His
report to the king is historic:
There are enough to be killed.
enough to be taken prisoners and
enough to run away"
This quaint forecast of the result of
the battle at once spread through the
camp, and doubtless every yeoman
archer of the valiant company felt an
inch taller. We know that it was AL
most literally justified by the event.
Poor Cams dry humor was eoualed

DriscolI Wants AttelPs Title.

That the worlds featherweight title

adjoining a subject of the British isles
was presaged at the National Athletic
club recently. Jem Driscoll is one of
the classiest little men who ever came
out from England. He can both box
and punch and knows all the artifice
of the game Abe Attell. the present
holder Of the title, showed in his re-
cent bout with Al Wolgast that he.
is on the down grade. An analyzation
of the contest proved that he has lost
speed, cleverness and ring generalship.
These three attributes made him the
great little champion that he is. If
Driscoll can make the featherweight
limit required In this country. 100
pounds, he will prove dangerous
customer for Attell to tackle. .@
