it is not so. The Johnson.Jeffries

noon when the men strip and don
their gloves 1t will be man against

Johnson's color to detract from his
ability is not a true sportsman and
would show very bad taste. And.
dear people. don't let the papers de-
tract your attention from Johnson to
Jeffries just because he is being made
five to three favorite over Jack. If
you have any money to bet. and want
o win. put it on Johnson. 1t is just
as hard for Jeffries to win as 1t is for

JOHN RUckEE, THE OLD COM

John Rucker is proving to be the
biggest drawing card any of the

and why, because he can hold a crowd
for hours and they will never get
tired listening to his old familiar
songs and jokes. He is still making
big hit with the song he sang eight
years ago, Why Don'h 1t Rain on Me,
Dear Mother" Rucker, some years
ago, was known as the worlds great

sTRAws MAY INDICATE

A nationwide conference is called
to be held in Washington early in
April with Senator LaFollette as
prime mover. 1t is limited that it
has for its purpose the formation of a
new party embodying the progressive
spirit of both old parties with the view
of building a party in closer touch
with the people. Judge Lindsey of
Denver has been invited and has &C.
cepted and Pinchot is also made a
prominent figure. An effort will be
put forth on his arrival to make
Theodore Roosevelt the head of the
new movement, and for that reason
much anxiety is manifested by the
instigators over his arrival and decis-
ion. II he accepts the offer, it is hint
ed, 1t will place him in direct opposi-
ton to Pres. Taft and make them
political opponents. Pinchot Is due
to leave to meet Roosevelt on April 20
and he is also scheduled to deliver a
message to the people at about that
time. Whether the movement will
amount to anything remains to be seen,
but one thing Is certain. If it devel-
ops as leaders now predict, both old
parties will be hopelessly split and the
new party will attract thousands of
men Of other parties, and especially
the independent voter. AS earnest
that Judge Lindsey is interested, he
has accepted request to campaign
Wisconsin for LaFollette, whom he
states is marked for defeat on account
of his own action and advanced ideas.

Habit Enables Him to Scale Ice Glad

"In all my experience had never

ney in Outing. Ordinarily l should
have believed these mountain sides
with walls Of smooth rock sheathed
with crust Of hard ice and snow,
quite unscalable.
In places they We're almost perpen-
dicular. Rarely did they offer crev.
Ice to serve as foot or hand hold, and
jutting points and firm set powders
were too widely scattered to be Of
much help.
I'm this his native land the Eskimo
has a decided advantage over the
white hunter. His lifetime Of expert
ence has taught him to scale these
ice clad heights with nimbleness and
ease that are astounding. He is quite
fearless. and even the mountain sheep
Is not his superior as climber.
AS II by magic and with little APP
parent effort the two Eskimos flew up
the slippery walls, far outstripping
me. How they did it l shall never
know. Now and again was forced
to cut steps in the ice or should in
evitably have lost my footing and
been hurled downward several hun
dred feet to the rocks beneath.
II was astonished even at my own
progress, and when paused to glance
behind me l felt momentary panic
But there was no turning back, and
one look robbed ME Of any desire to
try it.
The Eskimo has no conception Of
distance. He Is endowed with certain
artistic instincts which enable him to
draw fairly good map Of coast
line with which he is thoroughly IA
miliar, but he cannot tell you how far
1t is from one point to another Often
when Eskimos told me place we were
bound for was very close at hand it
developed that we were far from it.
This they are never sure Of and cam
not indicate.
THE Eskimos have q white man
'stung to death from every point of
view. They not only can go to sleep
promptly, but sleep soundly and we'll
as they travel when circumstances
permit. They get sustenance, too, by
eating hard frozen walrus and seal
meat or blubber. This could never
do, for it is so strong in flavor that it
invariably nauseated me, though did
succeed very we'll with raw hare or
deer's meat when had it."
