waiting for Jack" might be the
title for the comedy staged every
once in a while at the road house
on the Ocean Beach boulevard
where Jack Johnson is training.
AS / have said before, Johnson
came along before he wanted to
tear himself away from the noise
and hustle of Chicago. Although
forced by public sentiment to come
west, he refused to begin his train
ing until he was good and ready,
and in the interim he buzzed about
like big wasp in his gasoline gig.
Every newspaper photographer
in San Francisco, with sprink-
ling from other coast cities and
one or two from the east, devel-
oped into regular Jobs while John
son was benzineing around the
The sharpshooters got the habit
OF dropping around every morning,
fearing johnson might keep his
promise and pose while they were
away. 1t was no trick to get Jack
in his machine, or in his street
apparel, but the mob wanted him
stripped to fighting toys.
And although he gave his word
that he would pose, time and
again, Johnson kept that bunch
of button pushers and attendant
sporting editors hanging around
for a week. like plies around a
molasses barrel.
Everyone of the crowd knew
how the girl felt who was waiting
at the church, long before John
son made up his mind to do his
stunt before the picture machines.
The Tampa rocking chair fleet of
'9S were victims of nervous pros
tration ages sooner than the crowd
on the back porch at Johnson's
began to grow weary.
But when he did condescend to
do his little stunt and let the pub
lie see just how much of the SUI
perfluous he was carrying, John
son was the most willing thing you
ever saw. He stalked through a
crowd of curious to a position
In front OF a nicely whitewashed
barn which the photographers had
picked out as Q contrasty back
ground for the champion.
Help yourself. boys" said Jack
and the boys did. When the big
chap dropped into a fighting pose
the camera battery went off like a
section of quick fire guns. But
Jack never blinked. His fear of
publicity reminds me of my broth

pie.

WIRELESS CURE
FOR RHEUMATISM

Stop taking drugs and try ELEC-
TROPODES, the new electric treat
ment. The only means known to sci
ence by which actual nerve force is
supplied to the human body.

cure, we do better than that We
have arranged with your druggist to
sign a binding legal contract with you,
agreeing to refund your money if
they fail to cure rheumatism in any
form. nervous headaches and other

good circulation of the blood and in
variably make cold feet warm. They
purify the entire system, removing
all bad odors from the feet and arm
pits.
You know your druggist, you know
his name to a contract makes you
safe; then why not try a pair Of
ELECTROPODES! $1.OO if they
cure, and not one cent if they don't.
If your druggist cannot supply you,
send direct to the ELECTROPODE
COMPANY, room As, Holland block,
Lima. Ohio, and try a pair. Con-
tract signed and money positively re-
funded if they fail to cure. Mention
if for lady or gent.

Australian Game That Lacks Every
Element of Danger to Players.
Football as it is played in Australia

benefit and an accident is a rare occur
renee, says Consul Baker at Hobart in
an account of a game which he sends
to the bureau of manufactures.
The Australian game, devised 60
eliminate accidents, the consul says,
requires a field oval in shape and at
least $50 yards from one goal post to
the other The players at the start
are ranged along the edges of the field
down to the center.
AS the science Of the game is to
keep the combined method of play
open, the game never closes up, and
the teams never engage in personal
struggle. 1t is not allowable to trip
a man, put arms around his neck or
otherwise endanger him. The ball can
be taken from a man only by knocking
it from his hands. The game is well
established in Australia TO the exclu-
sion Of the old style, and the consul's
report says that as many as 10000
persons attend the games at Mel
bourne.
