O'Brien are the logical candidates for
the hOnOrs now held by Johnson, and
of the quartet, Kaufman is the one

ISetchel is believed TO be too small to
fight the negro. at this time. although
there are many who believe the middle

hustle. if not defeat him.
O'Brien, by reason of his defeat at
KetcheIs hands. and Barry, who was
defeated by Kaufman. after a hard
thirty nine-round battle, do not figure
with Kaufman or Ketchel.
The coming fights between Ks ufnan
and Ross and Ketchel and Sailor Burke
should give line on the one most likely
to meet the black champion.

wanted to have Bess near the
house until she got well, so he put
her in the garden.
Now, this garden was full of a
weed called cocoa grass, which
grew so fast and thick that it kept
the nice plants and bushes from
growing properly. One day the
man who owned Bess was pulling
up this weed while Bess was look
ing on. and he wondered why he
could not teach the horse to do it.
He did try and before very long
Bess could pull up the weeds with
her mouth almost as fast as her

has grown into a fine, big animal.
She is used as riding horse and
she doesn't have to stay in the
garden all the time, but when she
has nothing else to do her master
often puts her in the garden, where
she goes around and pulls out the
weeds just as she did when she
was a colt.
