One of the finest specimens OF
physical manhood in the world /,
DR.. b. F. Roller or Seattle, famil
lar to thousands as the result OF
joining the Jeffries-Gotch athletic
combination.
DR.. Roller is different from mos
professional athletes. He wrestles
and boxes because he likes 1t. His
love for sports. developed as q
lad, is, in his thirtieth year, a pas.
sion.
A cultured, polished man Of the
world, Roller is perhaps the best
wrestler in the United States, bar
ring Gotch. He is an NJ. D., win
ming his diploma at the University
of Pennsylvania. prior to which
he was student at De Paw.
He was a foot ball star, discus
thrower, shot putter. hammer and
l6-pound weight tosser.
He did not drop athletics with
graduation. He followed it more
iosely and Joined the professional
-anHs not alone for money, but
because he met better men than in
amateur circles. Roller comes to
the defense of boxing and wrest-
ling In no uncertain way in a letter.
Among other things he writes:
There never was such interest
as there is in the Jeffries-Jo hnson
contest. Why this should be com
mon talk is interesting.
ASK yourself why it was worth
$75, 900 to the public to see Gotch
defeat Hackenschmidt and $4,000
to see him beat Mahmout.
"A few days ago a dollar was
a god price for seat; now IS
and $40 is common, and many
pay $50. Not long ago $1,000 was
a big purse. Now $4,000 is not
surprising. People pay for this
athletic commodity because they
want 1t.
Followed to solution, athletics
properly conducted, whether anna
teur or professional, occupy a ten
der spot In the heart of every well
balanced man. Men vote for 1t
generally, but get 1t only occasion

college professors have written

Many believe boxers and wrest-
lers are almost human. AS a mat
ter of fact the best athletes are
college or professional men who
have been better taught by the
school of experience.
your professional athlete no
longer courts the hangerson or
wastes time and money in a bar
room trying to make himself a
good fellow. He knows knocks

BASEBALL SLANG.

The consensus of opinion seems to
be that a baseball story in unim-
peachable English would be odd
enough to be interesting, but that
as steady diet it would soon pail
upon the fans" who have become
accustomed to that slang which is
so distinctively part of the atmos-
phere of the game. 1t conveys more
to their minds to say that the man
at the plate slapped the pellet for
four bags than gravely to announce
that the batter knocked a ball which
enabled him to score a home run.
The "bunt" and the ''bush Lacquer"
have become intimately interviewer
with the speech of today. The ''nick-
names" of the teams have practical
ly superseded the names of the
towns whose tags they bear, and
lend life and color to the descriptive
story. This so-called slang, when
it is spontaneous, makes for brevity.
1t presents picture in word.

DRUGS AND PHYSICAL PAIN
Not Always Wise to Resort to Anes-
thetics to Escape Temporary
Discomfort.

A philosopher who loves his fell
bowman advises the world on the
important subject of how to endure
physical pain. In the first place,
comfort yourself as much as possible
by mental resolution; get some one
to sing or play musical instrument
for you. and finally get wise ply
sician to give you some honorable
anesthetic"
He might perhaps have better
said to get some wise and honorable
physician to give an anesthetic. Nor
phine and choral, and the other
anodynes that are also used as the
instruments for slow suicide, are
just as honorable as any other drug
and have uses that make them val
liable to the world. Because fools
make use of them to kill themselves
by the drug habit. that is no reason
the drugs are disreputable. A wise
physician will observe due precau-
ton against starting patients on
that route. and a wise patient will
not take any of them on his own
motion.

HE DID HIS BEST.

Mr.. Raymond appeared at his
neighbours door one November eve
ming at dusk in a towering rage and
uttering fierce threats against his
neighbours dog, Nero. Vainlv the
neighbor tried to explain that Nero
was only puppy. ''He belongs to
Johnny" he went on, "and it would
break Johnny's heart if anything
happened to him. | think" hopeful
". that his manners will improve. "
Manners I" repeated Raymond
"Pm not complaining of his man
ners. but his nature. After he had
jumped all over me he bit the back
of my leg"

broke in Johnny, in wounded tone.

him to bite big man like you on

ALL OTHER FLOODS DWARFED
In That, as in Most Other Things, the
United States Is Easily in
the Forefront.

Inasmuch as the French are dis
posed to regard the recent overflow
of the Seine as the biggest thing
that ever happened. SAYS the New
York Mail, it is time that they be
politely invited to guess again. We
modest Americans claim the medal
for bigness in floods as in other
things. Take, for example, the
flood of the Potomac in 1889. when
boats navigated Pennsylvania ave
nue. in the city Of Washington: why.
bless the dear soul of Paris, that
food at its height was FIVE times as
great in volume as the trivial freshet
in the Seine. At least the en-
gineers of the United States geo.
logical survey say so. and they de-
clare. moreover. that the flood in the
SusQuehanna in the same year was
eight times greater than the recent
one in the Seine. And talk about
damages by flood, just make a note
of the fact that our losses from such
causes amount TO more than $780,
100000 year. Furthermore, let
the envious French observe that for
some mysterious reason we are
rather proud of it. As compared
with an American river in flood, the
Seine is a mere trickle.

DIET OF GREAT POET.

Lord Byron had decided views on
diet. His fear of fairness rather
than its suitability to his work die
tated the starvation to which he sub
jected himself. In 1913 he lived
upon tea and six biscuits day and
in 1916 his diet consisted of thin
slice of bread for breakfast and a
vegetable dinner. He chewed mastic
and tobacco to keep down his hun
ger in between. While at Athens
he drank vinegar and water and sell
dom ate more than little rice, and
don Juan" it is said, was written
mainly on gin and water. And vet
Trelawny has recorded that no man
had brighter eyes or clearer voice.
