NOTES ABOUT
 THE FIGHTERS

It seems as though they never will get through talking of the stand game Jack O'Brien made against the black champion of the world O'Brien made as great a. hit with his home admirers as he die in Gotham when he fought ley Ketchel. Johnson has taken an awful tumble in the estimation of every fan in the country. And it is his own fault. He deserves little sympa- thy. He knew that he had to face man who has no equal in getting over the six-round route. Knowing this, he came into the ring in Q fat condi- ton, and this was the cause of his blowing up before the first good rally had been fought.
 But, whether in condition or not, it was very evident that Johnson is no match for O'Brien in straightaway boxing. He can hit harder, of course. and it was the only thing that saved him frcm a disgraceful hiding at the hands of a man two classes below him in point of weight. O'Brien's performance was startling, to say the least. That he could go out and carry the fight into the enemy's camp proved that he is not lacking in heart. He made Johnson back away promised not to do in O,Brien's case Johnson will never fight any other kind of fight. you can depend upon that. The minute that he gets a rap ne curlS, ana no amount or energy OH the part of his opponent can make him come out and do an honest rounds fighting.
 BRADY MAKES AN OFFER. Billy Brady edged up to the ring aft CT the fight and said: Johnson, will i SIG, ,OOO a side?' Johnson. leaned over the ropes and replied: Yes; I'll fight Kaufman, but not twenty rounds. MT Brady. I'll fight him here in Phila- s1,O00 a round and leave it to the pa pers. Say the word now if you rep resent Kaufman, and I'll postpone my trip to London three weeks in order to accommodate you or MT. Kauf- man.
 Brady wouldn't listen to such a prop osition. Johnson would manage to win about four or five of those $1,0O0 club that would land the match. The men came to no understanding. Jack OBrien wants to fight Ketchel over there. Six rounds, he says He thinks that it would be a repetition of the first six rounds of the last fight. and that would draw banner house. Nothing has been done about a meet ing.
 The report that the house had equal led the McGovern- Nelson fight for money is a little bit exaggerated. In stead of a $23, GOO house. it was more like S18,900, and that's not hearsay. O'Brien got a. little over $S.000 instead of the reported S12,000 But it was royal pay for eighteen minutes butter ing about with the gloves.
 WELCH AND GOODMAN
 CLASH TONIGHT.
 What promises to be one of the best ten-Tound bouts seen in New York in some time will take place this evening at the F'airmont A. C., 137th street and Third avenue. Jack Goodman, the pride of Greenwich village, will hook up with Freddie WeIch, the English crack. Fight fans think Goodman has a good chance to put the English man away. Re is a hard hitter and as game as the proverbial pebble, and has been training for this affair for two weeks. Welch is in good condi- tion and expects to make Goodman hustle for his life.

AND THEN MAMMA UNDERSTOOD.
Must Have Had Hard Time Explain
ing to tho Minister.

The new minister was making his
FIRST call and was waiting for mamma
pin the drawing room. Little sister and
her elder We're holding an earnest con-
lab In the hall. You dassent," said
the elder, in tense, small tones. "You
Just see," said Little Sister, proudly.
And she danced off into the drawing
room, an angelic figure in daintiest
white. her flossy curls of shadowy
gold clinging around neck and brow,
her big blue eyes as innocent and. con-
hding as mothers and her fowerlike
face meriting any impulse of reverent
admiration which the occupant of the
room might be moved to feel. ~.
When mamma appeared, just as Lit
tie Sister danced out Of the door again,
she thought the expression of the
minister.was rather curious, and that
he seemed to be making an effort to
control 1t. Also his manner was en-
barrassed and his call was very brief.
Pondering2 over these things and a
good deal puzzled, she remembered
seeing Little Sister leave the draw
Ing room as she entered it,. The: small
maiden was forthwith summoned and
asked what she had talked about with
the minister.
"Nothing-much," she faltered.
Tell me exactly what you said to
him." mamma demanded sternly.
ut 1T wasn't anything much -
just a little story Edith and 1 made
up to tell the janitors little girls.
They were down there in the yard
WREN you made us come DIP yester-
day, and they told us such yarns,
mamma! You never heard such
things! And Edith and I, we said we
wouldn't have them Growing over us
that way If we got a chance to slip
down there again. And so we made
up a little story to tell them and
Edith said | dassent go in and tell it
to The minister. and so, of course,
did"
And what was It? Tell me exactly
what you said"
1T wasn't -anything-much,"
the small voice faltered. IT just told
him that my papa came home last
night as drunk as he could be and
Kicked my mamma over and jumped
up and down on her stummick. And,
mamma. the minister did look So
funny and s'prised!"

ouILLeAck BUYS A NEW CLOCK.
Then He Shows False Economy Of
Keeping Old One Too Long.

cat last" said Mr.. Quillback, I'VE
nave bought new clock, and good
ness knows we needed it.
The old clock was a small, round
nic&el'plated timekeeper we had had
for some years, and in the course Of
time 1t began to show signs of wear
But we hated to go to the expense Of
a new clock as long as we could make
that one do, so we kept it, shaking her
up most every day for something like
year until finally 1t got to be so tire
some that we mustered up courage
and bought new clock,
And then did little figuring. In
the course Of yeaf.,I had spent an
average Of five. minrtes a. day shaking
up that' old clock o9,, say, 300 days,
making, to save the cost Of a new
clock, a gross total of time spent
amounting to. $500 minutes. You d.
vide this by 80 and you find that had
spent in shaking up that blessed old
clock little more than, Is hours!
Nov, in the way of income, you
know, I don't pretend to class up with
the Rockefellers and Carnegies and
that sort iof folks, but figuring my
earning capacity on the modest basis
OF SO cents an hour find that l have
spent in shaking up that miserable old
ticker time to the value of $3.50! And
the new clock cost only 50 centsi
"Of course, buying the new clock
when We did instead of year sooner,
we saved the wear on it in that
period, and if we count the life Of
such clock at say ten years we find
that we Lave thus saved about seven
cents worth of wear on the new clock,
and this, properly, Of course, should be
deducted from the $3.50, but even at
that, in the best showing possible we
find that to save So cents we have met
with net loss Of $12.43, to say moth
ing of the wear and tear on us caused
by the aggravation of having to shake
the old clock up every day and make
it go!
We had been, as i'll so many ways
we are prone 20 be, penny wise and
pound foolish, but we are learning
wisdom and We haven't got to shake
the old clock UP any more, anyway"

Some twelve years ago young In.

young Indian finished his studies she

in 'Kabul as secretary to the amir Of

Journey from Lahore to Kabul by

40 years Of age.
Arriving at Kabul she was obliged
to live in the retirement observed by
Mahomme dan women, and saw the
young Indian no more, though she was
allowed to talk with him unseen.
Her last letters to her Dublin
friends told of loneliness beyond ex-

preaching death. Almost Immediately
afterward came a telegram stating
That she had passed away. e.

ROMANCE IN SCOTCH HISTORY.
Curse Pronounced by Mother Of Great
Soldier Seemed to Have Ade-
quate FuIflIlment.

The widow Of the great Viscount
Dundee married shortly after his death
william Livingston of Kilsyth, who
had long been In love with her. Dun
dee's mother, who considered Living
ston virtually her sons murderer, pro-
nounced curse on her daughter-in-
law and her husband, praying that God
would show the unworthy couple
some swift token of his anger. The
wedding day Of Livingston and Lady
dundee was fraught with bad omens.
The bridegroom gave the bride a ring
inscribed, Yours Till Death" but the
ring was lost before the day was over,
and the vengeful old Lady Dundee
sent as her wedding gift nightcap,
pair OF white gloves and a rope, all
tnese articles typical of a condemned
murderer. In October 1896, it seemed
as though the unhappy fate so desired
oy Lady Dundee fell on her daughter
in-law, who died at Utrecht through a
terrible accident. She, her infant son,
and her maid were crushed to death
through the roof falling in, her hus-
Dand being rescued with great dim
Guilty. The bodies Of Lady Kilsyth and
her baby were embalmed and brought
TO Scotland, and in the year 1900 1t
was the common practice of the In
nabltants OF Kilsyth to go to the vault
and see the bodies, which were as per
rect as the hour they were first
placed In the coffin.

there are probably numerous buried
boards. says the London Chronicle.
One cannot always ignore tradition
and throughout the length and
breadth OF the land are to be found
old legends of hidden treasure. some.
times guarded by a curse, sometimes
py special warder. There is prob.
ability almost amounting to certainty
that valuables were hidden by the
Romans. and even more probably by
the Romano Britons. The treasures
OF the lncas and OF pirates such as
Kidd are still existent In theory: the
buried wealth Of India Is among the
rudimentary facts known to all stu.
dents OF the east.
But perhaps most startling and al
turing OF all is the theory that among
the treasure trove to be at some time

are the Sacred Breastplate and the
