 Tom Sharkey's Record
 Tom Sharkcy had fought thirty bouts before he met Jefferies the first time and some pretty rugged cnsto- mers could be found among the man who opposed the hero of the bound . ing main.

New York, Feb. s--Heavyweigh hl champions are not made or developed Ill day No matter how tall, strong active, ambitious and game an asnir. ing heavy may be, these olalihca tions alone are not sufficient 10 eff able him to cope successfully witt, the champions of ear-champions. He must have experience and plenty of it. Without it. he is like q tempest tossed sloop without sail or center board This physical capacity .s there but, there is no guiding hand 10 direct it. His energy is wasted, his hitting power counts for naught and his gameness only enheartens him 10 stand punishment without Ninching It is a sad spectacle to see powerful Willing novice iloundering i'll front of an adroit, scientific opponent who literally picks him to pieces. The one knows what to do and the other doesn't, Science teaches the boxer what to do; shows him how to hus- band his strength, deliver his blows, avoid punishment. worm his way out Of tight places and turn q seeming defeat into victory. The only way science can Dc acquired is by expert ence and that means fighting in the ring, Boxers aren't born clever. They say Young Grilfo was. but he was a freak and reversed every known inc ory Of the pri2e-ring. The first rud:- ments of boxing may be learned iu 8 gymnasium but the real knowledge Of fighting is learned nowhere but in the ring and then only when pitfe ] against q man who has q hearty, vehe- ment yearning to mutilate your from tispiece with ill-considered fervo4 and determination Folks have been raa'.- ing the last mcn1h O the earnest appeals made by the promoters 10 unearth some Neavy- weight to step .ato the ranks Iii give haiti; 10 the leg ders. The utility of this ca.. fc' a,d will be seea when it is renlenl- bc,ed that not Cne of the beE fifteen heavy J-weights turing the past quarter cs & century WQs "unearthet The% fought their way up, and "cEe not trenoms or fcnaEs who Snfang ID merely because the occasion demand- e it. Champs aren't made to order while you wait, especially in the heavy weight class. It is possible to take an aspirant and teach and coach him-show him some Of the finer points of the game but he must have the ability and the experience to de" yelop it before he will earn the right to be called a top-notcher.

Raise Price of Bread.

Little Rock, April I9.-Local bakers are now charging 5 cents straight for loaves of bread instead of giving extra loaves when a cer- tain amount of tickets were pur- chased. This step was taken after a meeting of all the bakers of Argenta and Little Rock called for the purpose of seeing what they could do to meet the rapid advance in the price of flour. The bakers went over the question thoroughly before making the advance, and at the advance piice are making much less profit than they were with flour and bread at the old prices. They expect the prices to remain high until the new crop of wheat begins to come ill July.

Those who have been reading the reports of our consuls in Turkey concerning the chances for American capital and enterprise in that coun- try under the new regime would bet ter glance at the published reports of Sir William Willcocks, the Eng fish engineer who is being employed at present to do for Turkey what he did for Egypt in the matter of irri- gation and water supply. Sir Will liam warns capitalists and contract ors against the extraordinary amount of graft and corruption which is to be found in the provinces among all the minor local authorities. Many of the old restrictions have been re- moved, but the Turk has not yet rid himself of that wonderful habit of looking at his own pocket twice be- fore he thinks of honesty. Sir Will liam Willcocks is the engineer who built the Assuan dam and had charge of public works in India and Egypt for respective periods.

DIDN'T LAST.

An Atchison man who recently "confessed religion and became a member of the church says his fam fly, and not his associates down town, are responsible for the back sliding that followed within three weeks. He says his wife and the girls were in a conspiracy to impose upon him, to work him for money. to make him do more work around the house, and submit to all sorts of tyrannies without grumbling. "He can't object" he overheard his wife say, ''for he has religion now, and is bound to be meek and humble" " Three weeks of this drove him into a frenzy, and one day he backslid SC vehemently and forcibly that his wife and daughters were left speech less.-Atchison (Kan.)

PAID FOR HER CARELESSN',-
Owner of Costly Opera Gla-.es Dropped from Balcony Had to Fe
 Satisfied with Exchange.

Between the second and third acts," said the girl who always sits in the first row in the balcony at the play, "I dropped my opera glasses over the railing and they fell ker- smash right on some woman's head. She screamed and so did l, not be- cause she was hurt, but on general principles. She had on too much hair to feel the shock. The glasses balanced for a second on her cushion of puffs and curls, then slipped off into her lap. There was little ex- citement, but pretty soon everybody quieted down. I was going down to apologize, but the usher in the aisle said he would attend to that for me. And be sure to bring my opera glasses back I said. "They are an expensive pair and I can't afford to lose them.'
 Before he came back I noticed that my victim had moved, but he brought the glasses. The trouble was they were not mine. Instead of the $22 pair I had dropped he hand, ed me a pair of the kind you car buy in any department store for S2.49 When I told him that he said he was sorry, but he thought the lady had gone. She had, and my opera glasses had gone with her. Of course, the exchange may have been unintentional on her part, but the more likely supposition is that the woman thought she was justified in collecting damages for the at- tempted assassination, and I don't know that 1 can blame her."
