In buying from q mail order house you never see the goods until they are deliverede which usually means thirty days at the least.

So much has been said relative to the retired heavyweight champion" his plans and What-not especially by the nondescript reporter, also the ever paramount press agent, that in a majority of cases the masses, to use the street yernacular, "have been carried away"

So far as the recent offer, an;; subsequent acceptance by Jeff ries of the engagement at San Fran cisco, everything was quite open and above board--he signed the contract and received the stipulated remunera- tion. Aside from that I have been unable to discover the smallest sem blance of authenticity surrounding the sstupendous offers as published broadcast, and personally have put them down to the innate ravings Of the ever versatile press agent, who, if requested to do so, could lay my hand on without even the assist ance of messenger.

from Carl Brown Of Mandan,s in which

Bismarcker. In the letter Brown
says he has beaten Downs twice, once
at Granville when he threw him for

the second fall, in eleven minutes. He
also states that he beat him in Leach
and offered to do it again in Minot,

Mr.. Brown does not think it is nee

THIEVING YOUNGSTERS
MAY GET in TROUBLE
ILLUSTRATED POST CARDS ARE
THEIR PARTICULAR TEMP
TATlON.
Were Nearly Caught in the Act Yes
terday - Police May Stop the Sale
OF Cards on the Streets.

There has been complaint from a
number of the places that handle IL
Illustrated post cards to the effect that
a number of youngsters have been in
the habit of stealing cards from the
display racks in the places where they
are offered for sale, and afterwards
selling them in the streets and at the
trains,
One of the youngsters was seen
making a getaway with bunch OF
cards yesterday, and before he could
be caught and examined he had dis
posed, of the property, and as there
was no evidence he was allowed to
go with a severe repriman.
It has been stated that the police
might stop the sale Of the cards on
the streets and at the trains, as this
would remove the temptation from the
boys way. 1t would undoubtedly
work a hardship on some of the boys
who obtain their cards by honest
purchase, but it would be hard to
identify the guilty ones from those
who are innocent.
There have also been a number of
box car robberies recently that are
laid at the doors of some boys who
are exceedingly young in years, and
there are strong suspicious of who the
guilty parties are and it is possible
that Bismarck will furnish some can
didates for the Mandan reform school
within a few days.

The Game Of Cricket.

II Cricket dates from the reign Of
Queen Elizabeth and had its origin In
FOUNDERS and stool ball Lord Chester
held was the first man OF weight to
Etake IL up seriously and Elton the first
public school. In those days scores
were notched upon tally sticks, the
ball had heavy cross seams, the bats
were curved, and the fielders stood nj
most In Indian file. The early laws OF
the game had their inception at the
Star and Garter inn, Pail Mall, and
one Of the few Of these original laws
which obtain today is that OF the
tossup. The wickets were twenty-five
inches high and the ball six inches IN
length. The first county match was
when Kent played England In iii,
and on this occasion vast sums Of
money changed hands.
