tie around the world. Here also are
the telephones with metallic head
dresses attached, through which the
thousands on the outside of the fight
will hear of the progress of the fight
via the bulletin boards. Back of
this bench are several others, pro-
vlding i'm all for 100 newspaper men,.
Clear View for All.
From this level around the ring the
sections radiate outward and upward
like spokes of a wagon wheel. There
are eight of these wedge shaped Sec
tons. and each row of seats Is five
inches higher than the one In front,
the last row rising thirty-five feet
from the ground level. The seats do
not run one behind the other, soldier
fashion, but alternate so that the man
behind looks down on the ring be-
tween the heads of the two directly in
front OF him. BY this arrangement
the ring will be flanked by sloping
wall of faces and staring eyes, cir
cling the fighters on all sides to
height of thirty feet. There Will be
no spaces and lines between them,
just solid wall of faces glaring down
at the white square.
Between the press seats and the
bleachers there is a gentle slope upon
which approximately 5000 chairs are
grouped. Here the aristocratic will sit
at their ease--men to whom $50
seat for an afternoons sport is little
out of the ordinary. The five thous-
and will be on lower level than the
ring, and will look upward at the
fighters.
Seats Well Arranged.
Through the bleacher section wire
fences have been run, marking off the
zones of financial standing. First be-
hind the chairs come rows of seats
held at 500, $25 and $50 each. Then
come the SIS seats. the $40 rows In
great number. and finally the gallery
gods. perchcd high above the ground
at So per perch.
Behind those highest seats broad
walk surrounds the arena. 1t leads
to the exits, and these are so placed
that the flow of the crowd will be
well distributed. There is no central
point of egress at which crowding
thousands may aim. enhancing the
danger common to all crowds of panic
and stampede.
Beneath the bleachers are the quar-
ters of the fighters. the dressing
rooms I'm which they will don or rath-
err expose, their fighting toys The
two camps are separated by the width
of the arena. and "A short aisle Kept
clear of other traffic. will be re-
served for each man and his follow
ers when they make their progress to
the battle ground.
Unusual precautions have been taxi

There will be several platoons OF
guards scattered through the aisles,
and among the audience. Every en-
trance and exit will be supervised to
prevent crowding. and plain clothes

HEDGING ABOUT YOUNG FOLKS
Freedom Of the Library Not a Good
Thing to Allow the Rising
Generation.

A recent writer, in referring to the
additionally divergent attitudes Of
the English-speaking and the CONT
mental worlds toward literary reti.
cence, has said that in England and
America it has been the custom to tie
up literature in order to give young
people the freedom of the library,
while elsewhere it has been custom
airy to turn literature loose and to tie
up the young. The result, he adds,
is that we have developed precocious
young people and an insipid literature
and they a precocious literature and
insipid young people. Which is wit
ty summing up of tangled situation.
Unhappily, like the man and wife who
respectively preferred cotton and
linen sheets and who, after much acri-
monious argument, Compromised" on
cotton, we in America seem to be by
the way of granting a certain liberty
to literature without placing a CORE
spending restraint upon the browsing
Of the immature. And we are thus
creating a problem with which every
conscientious commentator upon cur
rent literature finds himself constant
ly faced, namely, upon whom-the
writer, the critic. or the parent-rests
the responsibility of safeguarding the
reading of the young? Personally, it
seems to me that there is but one
answer: That the responsibility for
the physical diet Of childhood and for
the intellectual diet of adolescence
rests upon the same shoulders; that
there is no more reason for turning a
girl of Is loose in a public library
than for giving boy of seven the
run of the jam and medicine chest;
no more excuse, in a family with
half-grown members, for leaving adult
| literature on the sitting-room table
than for leaving adult razors on the
nursery floor at an earlier stage OF

Plant Societies.

The science of botany has been
greatly advanced by the development
Of what may be called the sociology
of plants-that is, the study Of their
relations to one another as we'll as
their adjustments to surroundings.
Botanists recognize that plants are
not scattered haphazard over the
globe, but are organized into definite
communities. A plain has its plant So
ciety. all the members of which fall
into their proper places. A swamp
forest consists of trees possessing a
certain social relationship and differ
ing from those that form forest on
Try land. There is progression from
one social organization of plants to
another. A lily pond may give place
to swamp shrubs, and this again to
a swamp forest of tamarack, pines and
hemlock. So societies of plants on
dry land succeed one another as the
conditions change.

She Was an Innocent Victim.

Everyone in that part of the car
smiled except the man who did II and
the girl who was under the hat. He
wouldn't let himself. and she did not
know anything about it. He was a
plain, quiet man, apparently of the
higher type of mechanic. She was
young and pretty and had one of the
enormous new hats, with correspond
ingly enormous pins stuck in at vari-
GUS angles. She was in one of the
cross seats and he was standing be-
hind her. Without moving a muscle
of his face he drew from his pocket a
folding footrule. carefully measured
the expanse of the brim and let every
one around see that 1t was full IS
inches. Then he laid the ruler along
the projecting end Of a hatpin and
beyond the crown. The unconscious

a puzzled little frown as her seatmate
suddenly doubled over in mirth.

Willing to Pay for Hammer.

When the British square at the bat
tie of Abu Klea, in the Nubian des-
ert, was penetrated by the dervishes,
one of them attempted to spear a gun
ner who was in the act of ramming
home charge. The Briton Drained
the Sudanese, but the rammer head
split on the mans hard skull. Next day
the gunner was sent for. Mistaking
the reason, and knowing from expert
ence that soldiers are charged for
government property which they
break, he led off with: please, sir,
Pm very sorry l broke the hammer
but | never thought the fellows head
could be so hard. I'll pay for the
rammer so as to hear no more OF
the case"

a Quick Cat.

Some years ago the proprietor Of a
hotel in southern New Hampshire told
the following story: He said that
when he was boy he had occasion
to go into the garnet of his house one
morning and that the family cat fol-
windows was open, and when they en-
tered the garnet frightened mouse
jumped out of the window, and the
cat, jumping after it. caught it in mid
air and, whirling round, jumped back
again into the same window.

For the Critics.

Creston Clark, whose untimely
death at Asheville robbed America Of
a serious and capable actor, was
somewhat impatient of criticism. To
a Philadelphia critic he once said:
You chaps are unwilling to accept
a man for what he is. You want to
change him to your own taste. But
each of you has different taste. To
whose inclination, then, is he to
bend?
mo, no, Take the artist for what
he is. That is the right critical atti-
tude. Don't be like the farm urchin

Toll House at East Bralntree.

the rate of carriage was "a penny for

Another local historian has left a
record that near the Fore river stood
the toll house where the singers met.
Here the toll keeper lived, had his
House rent free, was paid small sal
airy, and opened the gates so that one
could pass through upon paying four
pence or six and one-quarter cents.
