COPENHAGEN, Jan. A.
Dagmar Framery, a comedy young
woman of good family, education
and intelligence, has travelled all
over the world, paying her way by
acting as servant girl and house
keeper.
Without a penny in her pocket
she started from Copenhagen with
a family bound for Durham, and
not knowing anything about
wages in South Africa, hired out
at the rate of four dollars Q
month, in addition to travelling
expenses.
From Durham she accompanied
a spinster lady to India, carrying
with her a couple of dollars earn
ed by the sale of her photographs.
From Calcutta she went as 3
lady's maid to Singapore. from
which place she sailed as stew
ardess on a steamer sailing fol-
Hongkong, going thence as lady's
companion to Japan.
From Japan she went to Shang-
hal, working there successfully as
nurse girl, cook and waitress.
Next an American family took
her along to San Francisco, and
there she earned money enough to
embark for New York, and, sub
sequently, London.
She arrived in London with one
shilling and sixpence In her pock-
ct, and from London went as nurse
with an invalid boy to Copenha-
gen, reaching there with eighteen
shillings, thereby winning a bet
she had entered into with rich
countryman of hers.
Miss Framery brought back q
large amount of valuable photo
graphs and a diary, detailing her
varied experiences. This diary Is
now being written up in book
form.

SAM FITZPATRICK, KING MAKER;
HE MADE JOHNSON CHAMPION

Although Jack johnson IL
heavyweight champion pugilist OF
the world, credit is given Sam
Fitzpatrick as king maker, and
upon this jovial-faced descendant
of Irish kings falls the credit for
the fact that the Galveston negro
Is today at the front of his class
the first negro to hold the
heavyweight title.
1t Is some years since Fitzpat-
rick began boosting the stock of
Johnson In sporting circles. When
he FIRST tried to interest acquaint-
ances In the fighting phenom he
was laughed at and his statement
that johnson possessed champion
ship caliber would not down. John
son had never done anything to
deserve Fitzpatrick's praise and no
one could see him.
But with the courage of his
convictions Fitzpatrick stuck by
his protege, even when johnson
himself was ready to give up be-
cause no one would consider him
seriously.
When Burns fell heir to the
sofest championship" heavy
weight ever inherited, Fitzpatrick
began the campaign which ended
in Australia with Burns taking
the losers end. With Johnson in
tow, Fitz followed Burns to Eng
land and later to Australia, accept
ing q $4,000 purse, that he might
place his man upon the heavy
weight throne. He knew John
son would beat Burns and was
willing to accept the small sum,
for the sake of the glory and
money that must follow, as well
as to prove that his faith in mis-
scrapper was not misplaced.
