SURVIVORS OF STONE
AGE GET THE MONEY
Writer Estimates That Jeffries
Will Make More Than
100000 From Fight.

Edward B. Moss. In an article in Harp
er's Weekly, estimates the sum that Jeff
ries will receive IL he wins this fight with
Johnson. Before he went into training, he
made a vaudeville tour which Melted him
s62. O0O The stakes Of this fight amount to
s1O1 COO Of which the winner gets rs per
cent or s75750. He will get also one-third
of the receipts of the moving picture
shows afterward and this, It is calculated,
will amount to $3.50, 900, as the net receipts,
Il is presumed, will amount to at least
81. 900 Co., Then a tentative contract has
already been made by Jeffries for round
the-world tour II he wrests the champion
ship from Johnson. He is guaranteed
s15o. 900 for this tour. 1t will probably net
him 100000 These items will give him a
grand total Of $667.750 Johnson will get
less IL he Is the winner as the moving
mixtures In that event will be far less pop
iIar But his grand total is likely to go
pretty close to 100000. These horny
listed survivals of the Stone Age" re-
marks Mr.. Moss, 'are, after all. the real
money-makers. Primitive nature seems to
reward her followers handsomely despite
civilizations boosted triumphs."

A.mlessly wandering like little sheep
Lost in a pasture-land of long ago.

And far away upon some twilit steep

Drunken in dreams that stir as drifted

'"That will be fine indeed"
BIschoff was much pleased with his
sons compliance and went Off to the
lodge in a. very good humot. A few
days after his arrival the Lady Gretch-
en- was riding through the forest when
she came upon a riderless horse nip
ping what grass remained after the
frosts preliminary to winter. The trap
pings denoted that the rider was above
the ordinary woodchopper and trapper,
and it was evident that some gentle
man had met with an accident. She
rode about till she caught sight Of a
man sitting on the ground leaning
against a tree. Riding up to him, she
asked him what was his trouble. She
did not know that he was the father Of
ier lover, and he did not know that she
was his sons sweetheart.
"T am much pleased TO see you, my
dear young lady" he said feebly. in
chasing a boar my horse stumbled and
fell, his whole weight coming down
on my leg, which I fear is broken. l
beg of you to catch him that may get
back to my hunting lodge"
Gretchen dashed away after the
horse and soon returned leading him
by the bride Dismounting, she en-
deavored to assist the man to rise, but
in the effort TO do SO the pain of bro
ken leg threw him into a faint.
Gretchen waited till he had come back
TO consciousness, when the two con-
suited what should be done. They
were very near a wood road. 1t did
not seem possible for them TO make
any move. Their only plan was tc
wait for some woodcutter to come and
remove the injured man on his sledge.
An hour passed, it was coming
dark, and yet no one had come. The
invalid was growing respondent and
somewhat terrorized at the prospect
of spending the night in the forest
Then the girl asked him if he would
consent to stay alone while she went
for assistance. He agreed to the plan,
She mounted her horse and was about
to ride away when a distant bark was
heard. She waited, listening. The
bark was answered by one near by.
II cannot leave you,'' she said.
There are wolves near at hand"
Bischoff blanched. But, my dear
lady" he said, IF there are wolves
you must go. 1 cannot consent that
you should perish because L must per-
ish.''
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1910-11-25

In the center of a large tract of land
in Germany a hundred years ago stood
p hunting lodge owned by Wilhelm
Bischoff, a retired merchant Of Berlin.
Both Bischoff and his son Carl were
gportsmen and used to go to this
lodge in the proper season to hunt
The wild boar was at that time still
to be found In certain parts OF that
country. When food was scarce the
woods were infested with wolves.
The elder Bischoff was an optimist,
often surprising his family by some
visionary scheme. His son Carl, who
inherited the traits of his mother rath-
er than those Of his father, was of a
more equitable mental organization.
On one Of Carts visits TO the lodge
when his father remained at home he
stopped one day while hunting at an
ancient schloss occupied by one OF
those Impoverished German noblemen
whose ancestors were great men and
whose descendants have had to pay
for their progenitors' prominence. The
schloss had always belonged to the
Gehrensteins, whose living had been
gained by plundering. But that part
y
rest, and the laws gradually did away
with the employment Of the robber
barons. He who occupied the schIOss
at the time the incident narrated in
this story occurred had a pitiful in
come, which he supplemented by
game.
Carl Bischoff was entertained by the
baron, the only member Of whose fam
lily living was Gretchen, fair haired,
blue eyed maiden Of nineteen. Brought
up in a wild region, a certain I'M
couthness marked her movements. Yet
she had inherited the peculiar superb
ority of her ancestors. Carl followed
her with his eyes wherever she went
and saw in her the lady of the middle
ages of which he had often read. In
deed, having lived in the same schloss,
in the same wild country as they, she
could not be anything else.
Instead of hunting the wild boar
Carl Bischoff remained at the schloss
till the time had arrived for his return
to Berlin. He went away desperately
in love with Gretchen Gehrenstein,
and as he was the first young man

Foolish Tactics of a Trust.

In notifying their employees that
they must submit to extraordinary
sweeping reductions in. pay or lose
their places altogether, the firms
composing the window glass trust,
recently dissolved by the federal
courts seem to have done their ut
most to convince the public that At
torney General Wickersham was
right in declaring that the judge who
imposed fines upon the directors of
the trust should also have SEN
fenced them to Jail.
The action of these individuals in
thus attempting to punish their
workmen because of a judicial man
date directed against themselves,
bears the aspect of vindictive re-
sentm emit, which Is as unmanly as it
is foolish. It serves to focus popu-
lar attention On an event which
otherwise might have been speedily
forgotten. 1t is virtually equiva-
lent to saying eff we can't combine
and raise prices as we chose we will
make our. employees suffer for It,"
Tactics of this sort are likely to
intensity the public demand that the
statutes shall be enforced in their
full rigor against all combinations of
capital which are charged with oper-
ating in disregard of restrictive le-
gal provisions. They are pretty GER
tain to excite the disgust of level
headed business men in every part
of the United States.

should Be by Direct Vote.

The election Of United States SEN
ators by direct vote is one of the
most important issues before the
American people today. -
Massachusetts presents another
strong argument why senators
should be elected by the people.
Foss, democratic governor, has
been elected principally upon the
tariff issue and the high cost of liv-
ing. The people of Massachusetts
have gone on record for him and
against the high tariff.
United States Senator Lodge has
defended the high tariff. If he was
a candidate before the people of
Massachusetts, for reelection to the
senate, he would be overwhelmingly
repudiated, but he relies upon the
old system to reflect him because
the Massachusetts legislature re-
mains republican.
In other words the old system
prevents the popular will having
sway.
Governor FOss is urged to make
the fight upon Lodge he has threat
ered unless Lodge withdraws.

Crops and Meats.

Secretary Wilson, assuming that
the main reason for the fall in meat
prices is the big corn and oats crop,
finds another impelling cause in the
shortage of the hay crop He says
the farmers are rushing their stock
into the market because 1t pays
better to sell now than to feed
throughout the winter" Whatever
it is that brings steaks and roasts
once again within sight of house
holds with moderate incomes should
be cause of rejoicing. Meantime it
will not be forgotten that the de-
partment Of justice is hot on the
trail of the packing trust, and that
a democratic house and a near-dem-
oeratic senate will be ready a year
hence to make things lively for all
the fairfield and tariff-begotten
monopolies that have turned a land
of plenty into a land of hunger.
The full corn crib theory as a
cause of falling prices would find
more general assent but for the fact
that we have had for five years past
full corn cribs concurrent with dear
and dearer steaks. To keep the mar
kets starved at home the trusts have
sent surplus meats to foreign mar
kets, where it has been sold at low
er competitive prices. 1t is the fear
that in the face of a great popular
