I Ketcheil had a lot of fights but until last year he did not meet anything but second-raters. Last year, however, he came to the fronttrapidly.

In June he won over Billy Papke m ten rounds a. in three rounds at Frisco a few months afterward In September he was knock | ed out at Los Angeles by Billy Papke | in twelve rounds and in November he knocked out Papke at Frisco In eleven

 A good deal of interest is attached to the Hart-Schreck fight as both men. have virtually made the big negro quit, Hart getting the decision over him at Frisco in March. 1905, after twenty rounds. and Echreck having the Chi- cago affair to go on.
 Hart's manager claims that the Ken. lucky man is the one to fight Johnson. as he beat him at Frisco. but that claim Burns beat Hart in twenty rounds at Los Angeles the next year. It would be interesting to see the winner of that fight, go against Al Kaufman, Jack the other aspirants for heavyweight honors.

TIE V PROBLEM.

You, madam, think yourself held and
bound, hampered with many cares,
troubled about many things. But your
home throughout is free to you-you
are supreme within It's four walls, and
mistress OF yourself and your days.
Think what 1t would be to rise up
early TO ace a days drudgery, and lie
down late, conscious that tomorrow
ana all tomorrows would mean the
same. Fancy yourself at home only in
the kitchen or the ~uninviting bedroom,
shut away almost wholly from human
comradery. Would your temper al
ways be sweet, your inclination oblig-
ing? Would you smile when your az
ternoon out was denied, or take 1t kind
ly in the mistress TO have a company
luncheon upon washday? And you are
yourself, with, presumably, a gentle
woman's sense OF justice and self-con-
troll Put yourself as nearly as you can
in the place of some Ion creature, ig-
norant, low-bred, developed only along
the lower human plane, then Judge
what a servants griefs and grievances
may be. The first and most intolerable
is that she can be nothing but a SER
want. You say, perhaps. she should be
grateful for food. shelter and wages.
But ask yourself how long she would
get either II your need OF her suddenly
ceased. The answer. IL a candid one,
will put an end to the claim Of graft
tude, You know you would not keep
her a day. no matter how desperate her
need OF sou.

A soientist,s Explanatlen.

Captain Chandler, the army's chief aero
naut, said at a dinn in Washington the
other day: . ..a"
''The aeronaut, to get along, must keep
his wits about him. Under the most adj
verse circumstances he must not lose his
head. Always he must be alert and ready
like-like-well, like a scientist 1 used to
know. .."
This scientist gave a scientific lecture
in a church one night and at the lectures
end he said, beaminR down on the audi
ence condescendingly:
Now II there is any scientific question
that any or my friends would like to ask
I beg of them not to hesitate. 1 shall be
only too happy to answer any inquiry In
my power
A old lady In spectacles that gave her
q severe, stern look, rose n said:
why DO wet tea leaves kill roaches?'
The scientist didn't know they did, let
alone the cause of the phenomenon. but,
never at a loss, he replied:
I" Because, madam, when a roach comes
across a wet tea leaf he says: Hello,
here's a blanket and wraps himself up
i'm Vt. catches cold and dies.'" .

The Lovers Blunder.

The duke of the Abruzzi' has picked
up many interesting stories in the
course of his various travels, and he is
fond Of telling the following, which he
heard in h far north:
A young Eskimo loved a beautiful
maiden, but, as Is often the case, her
parents would not hear OF the match.
One night a great storm ripped up a
crevasse In the ice, and between the
two huts there yawned an abyss
bridged only by a slender strip of ice.
Here was the chance which the young
lover sought. 49,
He crossed the frail bridge in the
dead Of night and crept to the home of
his sweetheart to steal her from her
cruel father. The Eskimos sleep in
bags of sealskin; and, with bated
breath and loudly beating heart he
hoisted on his back the one in which
his lady love s~lumbered.
With his precious burden he re-
crossed the strip OF. ice, and, safe on
the other side, broke it down with a
blow of his AK so that no one could
pursue him ave by the aid of a boat.
RI gaining his hut, he opened the bag
to gaze upon the fair one, when, with
a cry of horror he staggered back dumb
founded. For in his haste to get the
affair over, be had stolen her father by
mistake,

The most costly wardrobe in the
world belonga without a doubt, to the
pope. Etiquette cOmpels him to wear
different garments each day Of the
year, and, as nearly all OF them are
ornamented with rich and rare gems,
no millionaire could hope to purchase
them, even IL a value could be placed
on them. The pope's little skull caps
are of the finest silk, while his EN-
broidered slippers OF velvet are gorge
u TO look at. Still more costly are
his gloves, made Of white wool, m
broidered with fine pearls in the shape
of a cross. A special herd of 80 sheep
Is kept, from which all the papal
wooden garments are manufactured.
The SUPPLIES are OF the most valuable
and beautiful lace, while one long cape,
the "cappa bagna,'' which is rarely
worn. hangs straight from the should
ers. and literally CLEANS from top to
bottom with gold and precious stones.
The rings, too, which the pope wears
are priceless. containing as they do
many stones OF matchless quality.

her head until it was nearly half COW

very red with a sticky, clear fluid com

and Ointment which never failed to

A PRAYING Man.

by Henry Ward Beecher.
r. When men begin their prayers with
"Oh, thou omnipotent, omniscient,
~omnipresent, all-seeing, everything
blessed P~otentate, Lord God jehovah"
I should think they would take breath.
Think of a man in his family. hurried
for his breakfast, praying in such a
strain! He has a note coming due, and
it Is going to be paid today. and he
feels buoyant; and he goes down on
his knees like q cricket on the hearth
and piles up these majestically moving
phrases about God. Then he goes on
to say that he is a sinner; he is proud
to say that he Is a sinner. Then he
asks for his daily bread. He has IT;
and he can always ask for IT when he
has 1t. Then he jumps up and goes
over to the city. He m back at
night and goes through a similar wordy
form of evening prayers" and he is
called "a praying man." A praying
man? I might as we'll call myself an
ornithologist because I eat a chicken
once in a while for dinner.
