commodate all those who may desire to
witness the battle and the transit facili-
ties from both Frisco n Oakland are
ample to accommodate a throng as large
as 100000. While It is not expected that
this number Of persons will be in the
arena, It has been estimated that almost
as many will gather outside the immense
enclosure as will be seated inside.
Harmony All Around.
AS has been predicted. harmony and a.
perfect understanding has replaced the
wrangling among the promoters Of the af-
fair, and another shrewd advertisement
dodge to keep the coming battle before
the public has been filed away to make
room for interesting and authentic news.
The latest reports from the Pacific coast
are to the effect that the promoters have
reached a most harmonious state and will
proceed with necessary arrangement for
the erection of an arena which will ac-
commodate from $1,000 to 100000 spectators.
The combined population of Frisco and
Oakland affords almost -three-quarters Of
a million to draw from, and the trip by
boat, trolley and third rail will not con-
more than thirty minutes from the
most central parts Of tte two cities. Every
aid and assistance possible will be given
by the city officers of Emeryville and
II. Williams, the president Of the
California Jockey club.
Mayor Christie of Everyville is we'll
with the turn things have taken.
He is said to be attuned to anything the
track may desire. Christie has been
mayor Of Emeryville eleven times,
and what he says usually goes. Emery

Before the principals and promoters set
tie down to a business routine, however,
Omaha daily bee., 1910-03-20

and systematically, but not arduously, un-
til nearing the day OF the contest, 1t is
presumed that for the first six OF seven
weeks it will be a case of playing around,
as it were, a sort Of camping out life, ex-
cept that a routine of duties will be mapped
out for the labor end of the game, with all
sorts of entertainment to amuse and oc-
cupy the mind of Jeffries.
A sulky principal suffers physically and
is much harder to get into condition. JEFF
fries can hardly be credited with a suiky
nature. On the contrary. he is more of a
big boy willing to play pranks on others
and amuse himself in any way that op-
portunity presents. Consequently he will
not be very hard to put in condition.
1t is not a pleasant pastime to train a
man for a prize fight, neither is 1t a light
task for the principal. From early morn
ing until bedtime there is always some
thing to do, and there is so much same
ness about the work that 1t becomes mo-
notonous after a short time.
A willing principal is easy to manage.
and, consequently, easy to train, whereas
q man with a sulky disposition, or lazy, is
hard to persuade to work and impossible
to force into the regular training rut.
Take John L. Sullivan, for example. He
would do little or nothing except what
suited his inclination. If he wanted a
drink, he took 1t, no matter what his
trainers might advise, and If he did not
want to run, he would walk. His overcon-
fidence was probably more the cause Of
this than anything else. He believed that
he did not nave to spend much time to
train to whip anybody.
With Jeffries it is different. He is a
willing worker and does not underestimate
the Importance of his coming affair with
He knows there are thousands
Of dollars In sight If he whips the negro,
and IL he loses it will be a case OF back
to the woods or the saloon business"

count Of eight doomed up before the normal
players. The normal girls now took a brace
and after much clever work, Phillips shot
a difficult goal from the field. Playing

Of the first half the score stood Il to IS

was a mere repetition OF the latter half of
the first, leaving the final score as given

Friday morning, February II, the normal
girls Journeyed to Blmwood expecting to
duplicate the score made with the same
team on the normal floor. The game was
played in a small room which seriously

the best they could under the unfortunate
circumstances and the final score stood 8s

Of strengthening. The normal girls with
a string Of defeats still in mind, entered
the contest keyed to the highest pitch and
each determined to wipe out the blot from
their past record. Both teams showed their
true fighting spirit from the outset, but
the superior all around work OF the locals
soon began to tell and gradually the
mounted higher and higher till the curtain
dropped, ending the second half. after which
the keeper announced the final score to be

Falls City High school girls defeated the

first time the normal girls nave suffered
defeat on the home floor in four years.
and the fact that the %conquerors were or
ganized and coached by an e~x-Peruvian,
makes the defeat doubly felt. This re-
verse was not due to the poor work of the
locals, but principally to the fast and con-
sistent work Of the visitors, who showed
their skill and superior work in all depart
ments Of the game, especially in free goal
tossing, making fourteen of a possible six
teen points from the foul line. On the first
knock off, Falls City carried the ball rap
idly down the field and shot a basket be-

game was on. This feat was duplicated

tails have already been provided for.
Within a month the sale Of coupons for

teams entered the field fired with the de-
termination to win. and in a short time II

close rub II 1t carried away the larger end
OF the score. Stevens soon shot a goal
from the field for the normal, and, in rapid
succession. two more goals before the visi-
tors could score. Wesleyan now began
to play recklessly, fouling frequently and
protesting the decisions till reminded by the
offlcial that 1t was time TO play ball. FL
naliy with the score standing 10 to 8 in favor
OF the normal, the coyotes called time
out and asked that the official be removed.

A friend of ours says geese SHOULD
not be allowed in a young orchard,
as they damage the bark on young
trees.
Little ducks will not stand as much
heat as chicks Keep ducklings too
warm and some OF them will be very
likely to develop leg weakness
Don't begrudge the young ducks
or goslings what they eat. They grow
faster in proportion to the food they
eat than any Of our domestic fowls.
When a dashing rain comes up
young ducks must be looked after.
Dncklings or goslings will chill and
sometimes die the same as chicks
when they get wet to the skin if not
given proper attention.
It is a mistake TO allow goslings
or dueklings to get into the water be-
fore they are full feathered on their
breasts.
Water vessels should be arranged
so ducklings may drink freely without
getting wet by dabbling in the water.
A small trough with a Slated cover
makes a good drinking vessel for
ducks, Inland Farmer.

business codes that preceded 1t is

ship slavery and Imprisonment for
debt to that of short hours, sanitary
labor and liberal pay and laws ex-

old friend. Micawber. would, no
doubt, revel in the patience and priv
ileges OF this day and conclude that
this era. without its debt-prisons and
Uriah Keeps. was indeed a utoDian
age. But the serious fact is that
with all our strenuous competition,
quick amassing OF prodigious wealth,
our business code is more humane,
more mindful OF the other man and
his rights and. indeed more moral
than that of any people in history

The brick are supposed to be 2x4x
inches and set as shown on one
face. This permits the molder to
face the brick with very rich cement
mixture-say about one inch. and the
remaining space in the mold is filled
with leaner or weaker mixture.
+ While 1t is true that a mixture OF
one part cement and four parts coarse
sand will make a brick that will sup
port great amount Of weight. 1t will
not be waterproof. SO by filling the
first one inch with mixture of one
part cement and one or two parts
sand we get waterproof brick on the
face at greatly reduced cost.

as shown. interchangeable, and must
all be of the same size. The mold Is
held together by the two bolts G C,

Many failures have been made try
ing to make cement brick with molds
held together with hinges. hooks, etc.
as almost all OF these molds are con-

to keep them square or sufficiently
rigid to lamp the cement in the moids.
When the molds have been filled
the palette Or drying board is placed
on top Of the mold and all turned up
side down, the bottom removed, the
bolts loosened and the parts may then
be easily taken away from the brick
without spelling or chipping the
edges.

The car was crowded as cars are
sometimes, so the fat man stood in
the yestibule. At his back was an
open window, and the trolley rope
hung idly in graceful loop on the
outside Of the car and Just below his
neck. FIR several blocks everything
was lovely. Then the car hit low
place without corresponding low
place in the trolley wire. The rope
frightened to make up for the dis
erepancy and caught the fat mans
hat brim with sufficient force TO hurl
it out the window.
Did the fat man frown and blame
the conductor? No. He looked at
his fellow passengers. his face
wreathed in smiles, and said:
Well I'll be jiggered II that
isn't the slickest thing | ever ex-
perienced in all my days"
He pulled the bell rope once, and
when the car had slowed down at
the next corner he pulled it again
twice and jumped of before the car
had come to a full stop. The con-
ductor, however, had seen it all.
Evidently he was unwilling that his
good natured passenger should wait
for another car and sacrifice a
nickel. so he pulled the rope once
and the car waited.--Kansas City
