Weight From 272 to 228.

Stanlslaus Zbyszko. champion Polish
wrestler of the world, accompanied by
his manager, j. Hermann, arrived in
Calumet at noon today. He was greet
ed enthusiastically at the Mineral
Range depot by about 250 of his coun-
trymen and others who are interested
in his career. Immediately after his
arrival, Zbyszko went TO the Arlington
hotel where he enjoyed rest before
dinner. Later in the afternoon, he ex-
poets to take a long run to remove the
stiffness from his limbs.
When seen at the Arlington, Zbyszko
expressed the greatest possible conf
dence in his ability to throw Lehto
He states that he is i'm good form and

one has but to talk to Zbyszko to
gain an idea OF his great confidence in
himself. When asked what he expect
ed to do with Frank Gotch, the Amer
lean champion, if they are ever match

any living man can beat him ON the
wrestling mat, and is willing to en-
gage with any or all of them.
j. Hermann, manager of the Polish
champion states that since he landed
in this country ON oct. Z. zbyszko has
Travelled $4,000 miles. During this time
he has averaged five matches a week,

on his return from Omaha, next
Saturday. Hermann expects to meet
the manager of Frank Gotch at Chi
cago, to arrange details for a finish
match between the two to take place
during the last week of April or the
first week of May. April 2Sth is looked
upon as a favorable date for this con-
test
That Zbyszko is gradually getting i'm
shape for his meeting with Gotch, if
it can be arranged, is shown by the
fact that his weight has been greatly
reduced. When he landed i'm this coun-
try last October the giant Pole tipped
the beam to 272 pounds. Now, how
ever, he asserts that his weight does
not exceed 22S or 229 pounds, although
he looks much heavier. His muscles
are hard and he is in almost perfect
condition.
When asked whether or not Zbysz-
kos tour has been successful, Manager
Hermann stated this afternoon that il
had been very much so. He asserts

saloons out of Chicago when they have
the election? You know what is the best
society or fund for the work. I leave that
to you. From one who hopes to see the
day for my children's sake.
When the letter was opened a worn
little hoop of gold, evidently a wedding
ring, fell out.
She had sent womans dearest treas
ure. one of the last things she will will

That simple little jewel was worth mill

when her young heart swelled with hap
piness and the band of gold stood for her
future.
The trinket stood for the young hus-

little home that was to be, for the little
ones who would come to that home-all
that a woman's heart yearns for and
cares for.

Maysival worked for eight years in sweat

victim of consumption.
''She had repeatedly been told to go into
the country, but she willingly sacrificed
her health to buy food and shelter for the
family.
When she began work in the shops
where ready made clothing is manufac-
tured she was only 10 years of age. When
she died she was 81" ss
