Ichange the ensuing roar Che
knew was the acknowledgment
of the crowd OF his clever block
of a wicked right hook that would
have done smashing damage had it
landed Just under his heart.
How he hated this cool, smiling
opponent of his! Never mind, now,
though! None of that" he stern
lily told himself. Time enough to
gloat when receiving the congrat-
Iulations.
Was this fellow trying to coax
him on? Well, he'd move in. A
few rounds full of body punish
ment might wipe away that other
fellows constant smile.
| There! He was out of that
mixup!
True. the champion had landed
a right upper cut as he went in
but he hadn't felt 1t. Just a
tap. and Just at the gong, too.
During the minute Of rest be-
tween the first and second rounds
he noticed the intolerable glare OF
the $4,000 candle power lights
Il over the ring. Maybe those NOV
ing pictures would be valuable,
but he wished they had let this
feature go. The purse was big
enough without that concession.
He spoke to his second about it,
but they only laughed.
Round followed round now, and
he fought with lightning swiftness,
but the champions defense was
impregnable. Never mind. He was
growing tired, and the minute
rests seemed very short, but he'd
"get him" in the next.
Queer how quiet the crowd!
Must be a good fight to hold them
breathless like that 30 long!
"Whyi What's this?" the fight
Ter struggled to his elbow with the
laid OF HIS trainers arm and look
ed into the plying face above
him.
.'My God. jim. the ring-where.
lw-h-a-t?"
"There. there! old man, take It
easy. fHere boys, take his gloves
off.) Steady now. old pal. He got
you with right upper cut to the
jaw after q minute and ten sec
onds OF fighting In the first
'cund." -.

NO, O-THE TRAINED NURSE.

A most attractive and becoming
role of professional women belongs
to the trained nurse.
In fiction she is portrayed as a
angel to whom SOL
diers, millionaires and fever pa
tients alike lose their hearts. In
reality she leads the ranks of pro-
fessional and business women in
the matter of advantageous mar
riages.
This state of affairs is neither
nor accidental. Woman
Is seen at her best as she goes
about her task of soothing pain.
Her gentle and endearing qualities
are to the fore, and If the patient
be of the masculine persuasion he
readily invests her personality
with a halo.
Economically considered the
trained nurse is one of the most
Independent of women who work
for living. There is better pay
in her profession than in any
other open to women without CAPT
tai.
The three-year period of exact
ing service in the hospital training
school is naturally a trying and
testing experience. But the rigor
of the struggle is lessened by the
cheering certainty that liberal re-
wards are at the end of a very
straight and narrow path.
A graduate from the training
school must be first-class profes-
sional nurse. That's why she gets
her diploma. Her standard wage
is s25 a week, and necessarily in
cludes lodging, board and laun-
dry. If'she becomes a skilled spe-
cialist, her services rapidly in
crease in earning value.
The girl who would become a
nurse should look to her qualifi-
cations. She should be physically
and nervously strong, and immac-
ulately neat about her person.
She will also have need of uner-
ring tact and patience.
Generally speaking, the women
who would make the best mothers
also make the best nurses. The
maternal instinct In o woman's
heart will impart a gcntleness Of
touch and manner no skill can ap-
proach.
Before the civil war there was
not a single uniformed or educat-
ed nurse in the country. Today
there are approximately 200, 900
trained nurses In the United
States.

Queer Tradition Of the Aboriginal
Blacks Of Australia.
The aboriginal blacks Of Australia
have a queer tradition about the food.
They say that az one time there was no
water on the earth at all, except In the
body OF an immense frog, where men
and women could not get II. There
was a great council on the subject, and
It was found out that II the frog could
be made 10 laugh the waters would
run out Of bis mouth and the drought
be ended.
So several animals were made to
dance and caper before the frog to IN
duce him to laugh. but be did not even
smile. and 50 the waters remained in
his body. Then some one happened to
think Of the queer coRtortions into
which the eel could twist itself. and II
was straightaway Brought before the
frog. And when the frog saw the
wriggllng be laughed So loud that the
whole earth trembled. and the waters
poured out Of bis mouth In a great
food. in which many people were
drowned.
The black people were saved from
drowning BY the pelican. This thought
full bird made a big canoe and went
with 1t ell among the islands that APP
peared here and there above the sur
face Of the water and gathered In the
black people and saved them.
