WHY THIS BOY COULD
 NOT GO TO SCHOOL

Driving along a county road near one of the thriving suburbs of Greater Bir- mingham was an elderly gentleman seat ed in one-horse chaise. His general appearance was suggestive of material prosperity. while on his finely marked face was that indescribable something that told of a kindly nature and well spent life. As the horse logged along he overlook three boys whose ages might range between 10 and 15. As he passed them he sang out cheerily, "Howdy. boys"
 'The youngsters looked up and one of them noting his kindly face said. Say. Mister, let us ride" Nodding his assent he stopped the horse. The boys climbed into the buggy with alacrity. As he drove along he questioned them about school and the grades they were in. Two of them answered promptly. One proud " recited the fact that he was in the high fourth; another said he was ex- pecting to get to the same grade next examination; the third kept silent.
 The old gentleman repeated his ques- ton to the silent boy, who surprised him by saying, T don't go to school"
 You don't go to school!'' he re-echoed. Why"
 'They won't let me- said the boy.
 Wont let you" queried the gentle mar. W1tn some interest, HOW IS llldt
 With a sadness in his voice that told, young as he was, that he understood its dread import, he replied, They say have consumption"
 Taken aback by the little chaps an swer, he looked him over a moment, and, to his infinite sorrow, he saw, also, in the pailor of his lips and the flush of his cheek, that his words were prob ably only too. true. Swallowing with an effort the lump that came in his throat he tried to speak cheerfully to the little fellow, and told him that they were mistaken.
 As he neared the city the boys jumped out and thanked him for the ride. He drove home. Making Inquiries of the school authorities he found the fact to be true. that children of consumptive tendencies are excluded from the schools. Willie admitting the business of the de- cree, the sadness of the boys fate kept on his mind. while his pathetic words ''rhey say I have consumption rang in his ears. and he there and then de- cided if the opportunity offered he would give of his means to provid, a place for the unfortunates who were thus sit uated

EMBRYO MUSIC CRITIC
 HAS A BAD HALF HOUR

A stranger stepping out of the elevator on the top floor of the Watts puiioihs would fancy himself in the midst of Bed lam any day but Sunday, when every thing is quiet, for the teachers of the vocal and instrumental arts maintain si- lence on that day alone. The other morn ing A fat little boy of years or there- abouts was led into studio at the far end of the corridor, past three piano studios, three vocalists and violinists haoltat' It was rather early, and the various peo- agogues of the gentle art had not thrown themselves into the abandon of the day pursuit His rather reluctant footsteps as he passed down the corridor suggested a timid nature. and when his mother led him into the last room and greeted the teacher, one fancied that there was no excuse for her admonition. "Sit down on this stool, Jimmy, and don't you move or make a noise.
 The door stood open, for it was a warm day. and soon the noise which arose from the gradually swelling combination Of solos in the various studios was de, moniacal in character. From the farther end came the strains Of a Chopin noe turne; nearer beginner was executing, with panstaking precision, a staccato- like waltz A soprano voice was shrieking the scales and near at hand came the tones of a rich contralto broken occasfon- ally by a deeper masculine voice.

 And in the room where the little boy sat two women were busily talking of things that do not interest little boys, while a young girl on the piano stool fingered a phrase over and over again. The mother and the teacher paused a moment and turned to speak to the little lad. He still sat immovable. one short fat leg crossed over the other, and his little fists clinched on his knee. His whole attitude was rigid and down each round, pink cheek coursed a pig tear. In reply to the questioning looks bent upon him he said with quivering lips: 'I can't stand this plinkin' ''.

FIGHTERS BEGIN
LAST WEEKS WORK

Reno, New, June 27.-The last week
of preparation for the Fourth of July
struggle for supremacy between Jim
Jeffries and Jack Johnson opened in
Reno without any of the excitement
which markd its immediate predecessor.
Such progress was made on the arena
to-day that its completion in time for
the fight Is certain. Both fighters are
In splendid trim. and everything con-
nectd with the event Is moving along
satisfactorily.
Swinging himself onto the boxing plat
form at Moana Springs. shortly after
s o'clock this morning, Jeffries plunged
to eleven rounds OF continuous boxing
alternating with Choynski. Corbett
Armstrong and Berger. and followed
up with two rounds of Juggling and
hauling around the ring with Farmer
Burns. 1t was fast, furious work from
start to finish. and Jeffries kept increas-
ing his pace, until in the final round
with Berger it was close to real fight.
In the last of his three rounds with
Armstrong Jeffries sent his dusky re-
tatnar to the floor with a powerful
right. IT was a clean knockdown.
Strenuous Round With BerEer.
In all Jeffries boxed three rounds
with Choynski. three with Berger.
three with Armstrong and two with
Corbett. The last round was with Ber-
ger. and this one attracted much at
tention. Jefries, who was dancing
about the ring like schoolboy, insin-

retorted that 'Ill show you whether
