the club a permanent institution.
With the right kind of support

Jim Jeffries has been a marvellous
performer in the ring. And l am
not going to overlook this fact
when training johnson. 1 expect
to see my man win, but I do not
expect him to win easily. He's
going to have hard fight, but he
will leave the ring a victor.

Dog show entries close today

There are great many people
abroad in this fair land of ours
who "roast" the daily newspapers
for printing the daily news stories
that have to do with the activiti IS
of Jim Jeffries and Jack johnson.
But these are unthinking folks.
These men are national characters
and their "goings and comings"
are of certain interest to every
Body. When the false report of
Jeffries breaking his arm was cir
culated a week or so ago this item
of news had precedence ons the
wires all over the world. In Lon
don newspapers received in Nov
York today this story is pre-
emily displayed. So there you are.

Tribute to Southern Women.

In the dedication of his able histor-
ical work, The Rise and Fall of the
Confederate Government" Presi-
dent jefferson Davis pays a handsome
tribute to the women of the South.
The Dedication is as follows:
To the women of the Confederacy
whose pious ministrations to our
wounded soldiers soothed the last
hours of those who died from the OBJ
iect of their rendered love; whose
domestic labors contributed much to
supply the wants of our defenders
in the field; whose jealous faith in
our cause shone guiding star un-
dimmed by the darkest clouds Of
war; whose fortitude sustained them
under all the p-ivations to which they
were subjected; whose annual tribute
expresses their enduring grief, love,
and reverence for our sacred dead;

OVER In JAPAN.
There are l42 People, Seven Houses
and Cattle to Each Forty Acres Of
Land.

According to the official statistics
published in 1908, Japan has in its
main islands, exclusive of Formosa
and Karafuto, population Of 49,
542, ,736 and the area Of its cultivated
fields is 81 ,231 square miles, and be-
sides these there are also maintained
100000 cattle and horses, nearly
all of which are laboring animals,
giving a population of 142 people and
seven horses and cattle to each forty
acres Of cultivated field, a condition
sufficiently different from our most
fully occupied 40 acre farm to make
the busiest man among us stop and
do some thinking.
The old farmer who permitted me
to hold his plow told my interpreter
that there were twelve in his family
and that he owned and was cultivat-
ing fifteen WON of land, which is
two and one half acres, and that be-
sides his team-a cow and q small
donkey-he usually fed two Pigs.
This is at the rate Of 1872 people, 16
cows, 16 donkeys, 80 pigs on 40 acre
farm, and population density of g.
