a BIG PIGPEN.

Stanley Katchel is a pug" who
bruises and Is bruised inside the ropes
for hire ard for the delectation of
sports. But be knows a thing or two
aside from prizefghting.
Speaking OF his plans for retirement
from the ring. he says;
THE open country for me. with lots
or fresh air. | soon tire OF the bright
lights Of Broadway. They've made n
bum out OF many n good fighter. and
I'm going to give them n wide berth -
Wise Ketchel.
Another athlete. Farmer" Burns.
one time champion wrestler. is n real
FARMER. He owns and manages sew
eral good Iowa farms. Both as
wrestler and farmer he makes hay
while the sun shines.
Frank Gotch. champion wrestler.
also owns an Iowa farm, Speaking
on the occasion OF his recent marriage
Gotch said be intended to put every
dollar he could save into land.
These athletes have seen men like
John l.. Sullivan and others lose their
money and health IN the miasma Of
city muck. and they have profited by
the observation.
When fighter Is In training he
must be abstemious. but the trouble
comes with success. The Great White
Way makes bum OF him.
You people who live In the open
country. who breathe the air OF the
good, wide spaces. can scarcely know
unless you have seen 1.-THE souaIor
and filth Of the places where the
masses herd In the cities.
A big city is a big pIgpen!
That is right. A comparative few
live In great luxury. but the great
masses are hemmed into the tene-
ments like pigs. Many a farmers pig
sty is place OF comfort by the side
OF some OF the city places where thou
sands OF human beings are confined.
There they live and breed and rot
and die.
Under filthy conditions hogs will
contract cholera. Under filthy condi-
lions humans are infected with every
sort OF disease.
Why do they stay?
They are fascinated by the bright
lights and In love with the rush and
roar or the streets. So much does the
reverish. overweight life OF the city
appeal to them that they refuse the
onered chance to go to the small
farms which they may buy on small
payments and live the quiet, simple
life where there Is comfort and plenty
And so the lights OF Broad way have
made a bum Of many a good fighter
In life.
The city-breeding place OF con-
tagion and anarchy-takes the beauty
and strength, the purity OF the coun-
try, and then spews 1t out a mass of
weakness. squalor. corruption.
