JEFF Will Be Good.

While 1 feel now to a considerable GER
tainty that he will enter the ring July 4
in as good physical condition as ever in
his life, there are other points to be con-
sidered than mere strength and limit of
endurance.
JEFF Is not going into this contest with
any other idea than to win. A draw to
him in his frame Of mind over this par
t1cular contest practically would be a
defeat. He feels that he has been called
out Of his retirement to beat this bic
black man and SO satisfy the great pub
lie demand that the white race demon
strate its superiority. He is not, there
fore. to enter the ring to become a hui
man punching bag for the colored man
And right here 1 want to say that have
no prejudice against the colored race, a
claim which has been made because OF
similar statements to the above. AS a
fellow white man I simply follow the
but II Johnson wins I shall be the first
to acknowledge his ability as a fighter.
AS | said before. there are other mat
tiers than physical condition to be con-
sidered in the man | am hoping will win.
We know absolutely nothing at present
regarding Jeffries' speed, his punching
ability or whether he has retained even
the ordinary amount of cleverness he
once possessed. These are Important
facts yet to be learned, and upon any
chances depend. Not until he has
reached the secondary stages Of prepare
ton In the training camp will any one
know Jeffries' real fighting condition. And
SO I say It's better to wait a little while
longer before betting upon the result of
the coming contest
I might also add that the same con-
servatism seems to pervade the johnson
camp. for / note that the white manager
OF the big colored man in replying to a
telegram Of inquiry regarding Johnson's
condition and chances Is alleged to have
asked for longer time before making an
answer. In some quarters this was
construed into a sort Of suspicion that
there might be something doing"
OF course, no man with brains under
his hat would for a moment harbor a
thought of this kind. but it only goes to
show how the Knockers will seize upon
any pretext to cast suspicion. The same
thing has occasionally cropped out in the
public prints because Richard and Glea-
son were not able to agree upon a place
for the fight. The wrangle between the
promoters was matter entirely distinct
from the fight itself. and 1 haven't any
doubt that were the two promoters to
drop the contest there would still be a
fight.

Jeffries amid all the talk is showing
his level-headedness in getting right
down to work. Following his long tour
Of several months none expected that he
would Immediately break into the hard
routine OF the training camp. Naturally
tired and road weary, he took himself
off to his home in Los Angeles to rest
a. little, but at the same time keep up
sufficient daily exercise to retain his
good physical condition. He will not get
down to real training for several weeks
yet and I hardly expect to enter his
training camp before the LIST of May.

ranged plan Of daily gymnasium work to
increase my speed and strength, for
when the training really begins I want
to be as near my best form as possible.
Training with Jeffries is no joke, for our
bouts will be a severe test-real fights
SO far as can make them. l hope to
get time from my stage work for a lit

preliminary training before going to

In other words, Wolgast had carefully

whipped him at his own game. We can
all remember Nelson's early fights with
Britt and Cans and how Nelson came
back again to regain his position as king
Of tho lightweights. and I haven't any

ANIMALS WEEP FROM GRIEF
Horses Cry From Thirst, Mule From
Injured Foot and Other Beasts
From Pain or Annoyance.

Travellers through the Syrian desert
have seen horses weep from thirst. A
mule has been seen. to cry from the
pain of an injured foot, and camels,
it is said, shed tears in streams. A
cow sold by its mistress, who had
tended 1t from calfhood, wept pitiful-
ly, says Harper's Weekly A young
soko ape used to cry with vexation If
Livingstone didn't nurse It In his arms
when it asked him to. Wounded apes
have died crying, and apes have wept
over the young ones slain by hunters.
A chimpanzee trined to carry water
jugs broke one and cried. which
proved sorrow, though it wouldn't
mend the jug. Rats, discovering their
young drowned, have been moved to
tears of grief. A giraffe which a
huntsman's rifle had injured, began
to cry when approached. Sea lions
often wep over the loss of their young.
Gordon Cumming observed tears trick
ling down the face of n dying ele-
phant. And even an orangoutang
when deprived Of its mnngo was so
vexed that it took to weeping. There
Is little doubt, therefore, that animals
do cry from grief or weep from pain
or annoyance.

TWO AMUSING PARL0R GAMES
Pastimes Which Have Been Carried
Out With Success and Are Some
times Uproariously Funny.

Two parlor amusements which have
been carried out with great success
are as follows: Send person out Of
the room, decide upon an object or
some simple performance, recall the
person and have member of the par
ty place his fingers lightly upon per-
sons shoulder while he and all the 9TH
ers think intently Of the object or act
decided upon, says Home Herald. The
results sometimes are almost uncan-
ny. A lady went straight and drew a
scarfpin from a mans necktie. just as
he willed, found key hidden in a
lady's slipper, and so on.
The other trick" is to draw upon a
sheet of paper square, with dag
onal lines between the corners, the
only opportunity of the artist to watch
his own progress being mirror held
up before his hands by second per-
son. A newspaper is made to screen
the sheet and the hand which is doing
the drawing. The results are some
times uproariously funny.

TOY BILLY GOAT BUTTS HARD
Novel Device, Invented by Georgia
Man, Intended to Cause Much
Amusement for Children.

An amusing toy for children has
been invented by q Georgia man. 1t
is a rearing, tearing billy goat that
butts a mannikin fiat In its charge.
The toy comprises a base with fig
ure elastically mounted at one end.
The figure normally stands erect, but
when struck blow on the chest will
flop over backward and spring back
when the pressure is released. Facing
this figure goat is mounted on a
platform, through which the animals
forefeet pass to slide, which is also
elastically operated. By means of a
projecting button the slide is drawn
out. When 1t is released the elastic
makes 1t fly back and the goat pitches
forward, raising his hind legs in the
air and butting the mannikin full In
the chest or face. The mannikin there
upon falls fiat on his back, to the great
