fries was the outcome OF a peculiar
condition In the fighting game.
1.-THE study Of the fighter is a fas-
cinating one. Just take this giant as
. sample. His people were lowly, per-
haps, but refined. His father was a
minister. Jeffries, when he started out
showed none OF this innate brain power,
It was undeveloped. He had the re-
markable physique and that was all lie
began fighting. and at the time when
he started out there was a remarkable
bunch OF heavies doing business. There
were Fitzsimmons and Corbett, and
Sharkey, and Rubin and Mccoy, and
Ryan, and many, many others. Any

You find very few churches in the

that neighborhood pretty well to find
the half dozen tumble down chapeis

And my companion said: 1T doesn't
pay to run church down here. But
1t pays the wealthy uptown churches
to own property in the slums."
Trinity church for instance. owns
$4,000. 900 worth of is and out Of its
income spends $4,000 for church
music and less than $4,000 for mis-

to suffer and TO die In one room with
seven or eight human beings stirring

says that they shall be kept clear OF
all sncumberances. But when SIX,
eight or ten human beings are cooped

escapes and that's all there Is TO IL.
And when 4 watched those shaky,
rusty, ladders and balconies, ciosged
up with rugs, boxes, humanity
thought of the inexpressibIe horror OF

bpt no. long afterwards he
brought me the Writing on the WALL

Lawrence, the tender woman, the de-
voted mother whose heart is torn by
sorrow for mankinds sufferings, by
her husbands dishonesty and faith

death. I take such pride in tnat

Have you noticed that few months
