 May it please your lordship that I am very Indian, and I belong to the Brahman caste. Owing to my pover- ty and unhealthiness I cannot earn money by any profession.

 "So if I have at least f2,OOO as a capital for my large, poor and pitiable family can invest this amount in the safest bank and I can maintain my large, poor and pitiable family by the interest on this capital.

} SPORTS OF A DAY
SUMMERS WON
 FROM BRITT ON POINTS IN 20 ROUNDS

London. Feb. 23-Johnny Summers, the English pugilist. last night receiv- ed the decision over Jimmy. Britt, of California. in a twenty-round bout. The fight was held before the National Sporting Club. and a big crowd was present. there being great interest in the bout. owing to the lively fight these two men put up last November. On that occasion the go was a ten-round affair. and Britt was the victor. Last night Summers got the decision on points.
 Both Summers and Britt had trained hard for this meeting. and were in far better condition than when they met before. During the early stages Britt did most of the leading. apparently starting out with view to securing a knockout. He made the mistake. how yer, or holding in clinches more than is usual in England and came in for much adverse criticism and several warnings from Eugene Corri. who of f1c1ated as referee.
 Britt also had the misfortune to slip twice to the floor when engaged in lively mix-ups. and these falls were almost as effective in taking the speed out of him as though they had resulted from a. right or left swing.
 Up to the sixth or eighth round Britt had the better of the bout. but from that on Summers improved and honors were even at the close of the tenth. After that. although Britt was always strong. the Englishman had somewhat the better of him. and the decision in Summers favor was pop ular one. Before leaving the ring Britt said that he accepted the award of the referee. and that he had no com plaint to make. but he still thought he was the better man.
 The men fought under rules that practically prohibited infighting. which seemed handicap to Britt.

OpIe Reao and ,n. upper nerrn.


 Opie Reed in his "Arkansaw Travel IF Tales" tells this: A fat man had 'crawled into the berth above him and was heard talking to himself. 'I don't mind getting up here," he said, ''but l am always afraid for the fellow be- meath me. Night before last the upper berth fell with me and broke the hin and shoulder of the man below. But it's not my fault; do the best I can to get lower Poor chap, I gysss he's asleep and will never know Xlat hit him."
 "Hold on," I cried. s'I'H be hanged if want to lie under dead faIl.' T beg your pardon. Did you say something?'
 'sYou are right. I said something. I'm not going to run the risk of stay ing here. You take this berth and let me get up there."
 "Oh. don't let me dispossess you. Stay right where you are; it may not fall-sometimes doesn't'' Sometimes doesn't! Here, let me get tip there.'
 ''Well, if you insist I''- .H 'Insist! I should think do!'' climbed the ladder and tossed pretty much all night. It was the DOT ter who broke the news to me the next day of how I had been the victim of that fat mans guile.

'GRAUSTARK" MAKES
 HIT WITH AUDIENCE

They do queer things ill ''Graustark'' where princes and princesses run about like ordinary people, and slaughter each other like North American In dians. The stage at Smiths ran red with royal blood, last night. Every new plot to kill, or scheme to marry the princess, was applauded by one of the most interested audiences that have assembled in Bridgeport for some time. The scenery was most effec- tive But one change in the settings could be recommended by the most critical. The seene which changes from the princess throne room to her bed room. Bed, and throne are placed in an alcove at the rear of the stage. The arrangement has the uncanny property of causing the beholder to suspect that the throne may be a fold ing bed This impression could cas- fly be avoided.
 Viola Fortescue, as Yetive, the prin- cess, was pleasing. Atkins Lawrence, as Baron Dangloss, proved himself really good actor George D. Baker, as Grenfall Lorry, the American lover of the princess, was a trifle too noisy to be convincing. The audience was thoroughly pleased and satisfied
