In n ccrt1in New England town they
manufacture wcl!known kind o.
towel. most eft cinnt for drying pur
poses. How that towel first happened
to be made in the form which has
proved so profitable to its makers Is
the subject of an amusing legend 1t
savors strongly of belonging to the
too good to be true" genus OF anec-
dotes. and is as follows:
Once the machinery In tho towel
factory. busily eng .ged in turning OUT
very conventional brand of towel,
suddenly went wrong and began, prac-
tically, to go backward. There was
much excitement. Eventually the ma
chinery was chastised and set to
rights again.
Butt was discovered that the
towels turned out during that interval
of mechanical anarchy were Of n
texture quite unrivaled for use as
bath towels. At once the machinery
was set going backward again. and
has been travelling in that direction
ever since. to the great delight Of the
stockholders In the towel company.

DREW THE LINE AT SUICIDE.
Russian Nobleman Very Wisely De
cIined Contemplated Duel.

One of the stories told of D. D
Mann, one of Canada's big men-ir
every sense-was repeated during his
recent visit to New York, whom he
was entertained at dinner, the
guests all being men of millions. Mann
has had a sensational career, begin
ming as an axman in the Canadian
lumber woods, and is now one of the
greatest of American railroad builders,
A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Times-Star, in telling the story, says
that early in life Mann visited Europe
on a business mission, and at din
ner one night became involved in a
quarrel with Russian nobleman.
Next day he received call from one
of the nobleman's friends, bearing an
invitation to a duel. IF he don't like
what 1 said to him, let him come up
and tell me So" said Mann. HE
can come a-running, too, and carry
any size gun he likes"
The friend explained that would
never do. Nothing but the regular
thing on the field of honor would do.
"Oh, all right" said Mann. 1--we
been fighting duels, all my life. But
I'll have to insist on using my national
weapon-a 16-pound double-bitted AK
The friend went away holding up
his hands at the barbarian. That
night the nobleman met Mann. He
was about the size of ribbon
counter clerk. Mann Is something
over six feet high and four feet wide,
with no fat. 81 fight you, msoo,' said
the nobleman, with the weapon of
any civilize nation. But be d if
I commit suicide"

Will Have Their Fun Even in Times OF
Extreme Danger.

Parisians extract amusement from
everything that happens to them, no
matter how terrible. On one occa-
sion. when they were much agitated
and excited by explosions of dynamite
brought about by anarchists, they yet
found time, in the midst of their
alarm and indignation, to perpetrate a
great many jokes about the situation.
The proprietor of large apartment
building amused passers-by with the
following sign above the street door
of his structure:
mo Cabinet Ministers or Magis-
trates Allowed on These Premises!"
Now this notice derived its point
from the fact that the wrath of the
anarchists was supposed to be di-
rected towards these officials.

Dewey of the Boston club be forced

the year 1909. Kelley has been de-

Jack Johnson, the conqueror of Tom
my Burns, is the first colored man to
hold the title of worlds champion
heavyweight pugilist. What is more,
the giant colored man has worked his
way to the top of the heap with the
clearest claim to the title of any man
who ever went into the game.
But two men can be found who ever
sustained decision over Johnson.
Joe Choynski has the record of whip
ping the new champion February 25,
1901, in Galveston, Tex, which was
the first fight of importance Johnson
had This fight was three rounds.
Marvin Hart was given the decision
over Johnson March %, 1905, at San
Francisco, after a 24-round battle, but
as Johnson came out of that en-
counter with no marks except a
swollen knuckle, which he broke on
Harris head, and Hart was a badly
injured man. Johnson's claim that
the referees decision was unfair must
be considered as having grounds.
Johnson was born in Galveston,
Tex, March 81, 1878. He is feet
IL inches in height and weighs 1875
pounds.
Prior to the fight which gave him
the championship of the world, John
son fought but two high-class men,
Sam Langford, the middleweight
colored man, whom he defeated in Is
rounds, April 26, 1906, and Bob Fitz-
simmons, whom he knocked out in
two rounds in Philadelphia, July II,
1907.
Fitz was all in as a fighter at the
time, but the fact that he picked Jack
to win from Burns when they met
shows he had the greatest respect for
the colored giant.
No other man in the fight game ever
had such title as Johnson now pos
sesses. In defeating Burns he sue
ceeds to the title of champion of
America, Great Britain, France, South
Africa and Australia. for Burns de-
feated the best men that could be pit
ted against him from all of these
countries. The great John L. held but
a portion of this title, Fitzsimmons
added Australia to his list, and other
fighters held the honor for America,
but Burns beat the best men in all of
the fighting countries, and Johnson
took the title away from him.
A sharer in the honors of the black
champion is Sam Fitzpatrick, the man
ager of Johnson. He has the credit
of being the first man to bring out a
colored heavyweight champion.

'The campaign" he said, 'has given

which brings results, is that which
converts an audience of supporters.
Such oratory is rare.

speeches from the platform are woh-

efficiency of her private speeches.
