RYAN CRACKED DUNKHORST ON THE
NOSE.
ed Brady to go into the Coney Island
Athletic club and take charge of all its
affairs. Brady didn't care much for
the scheme at first. He wanted to be
known as theatrical man and not as
promoter. Anyway, boxing had been
dead in New York for some time, and
there had been few good matches.
But the game came up again in great
shape. and people began clamoring for
the champions. Brady was sitting in
cafe one day talking the situation
over, and as he talked he got enthusi-
astic.
II have great chance here" he said
81 know big fellow out west who can
whip Fitzsimmons and take the worlds
championship. He's fought here in the
east, but he didn't make much Of an
impression. People don't know him
the way l do. The time is ripe to
spring him, and I've got good mind
to take a flier in fighting again."
"Why don't your" asked the party on
the other side of the table.
by George. will" exclaimed Billy
Brady.
He did. He took charge of the Coney
Island A. c. and wired Billy Delaney
to see me and get me to come east
again. In few days we were on the
way. tOS
When was actually in New York
Brady began planning a way to get
Fitxsimmons to fight me.
"You can beat Fitz," Billy told me.
81 know very well 1 can," l said.
.Then it's Fitz we've got to get for
you," said Billy.
Brady knew in general way that
Fitzsimmons was either nearly fiat
broke or that he had all of his ring
earnings tied up in some way. Being
in the theatrical business, he knew a
lot OF inside things about various peo-
pie. He heard somewhere or other
that Fitzsimmons, after a stage tour
Just finished, had failed to pay the
printers bill for his theatrical posters.
The bill was something around $500
or $500, and the printers had been un-
able to collect.
Brady, who was customer, too,
dropped into the printing company's
office In an incidental sort Of way and
in the course Of conversation said: 81
hear you have some trouble getting
money from Fitzsimmons. 1 suppose
he's little short just now. He hasn't
fought for long time"
The printers acknowledged that
Fitzsimmons didn't appear to be roll
ing In ready wealth.
"Well," said Billy, -"that could be
fixed up easily enough. Next time you
call on Fitz with the bill why don't
you suggest that he take on some duh
for an easy fight and get few thou
sand dollars? He hasn't been in the
ring since he won the championship
at Carson two years ago, and the PEG
pie are crazy to see him again."
Here Brady stopped and thought
awhile. Then he jumped out of hi
chair as IL he had sudden idea.
"Why, say" he said, "Iil give him {
tight at my club down at Coney Island
and pay him good money for it. n,
can take on this big clumsy guy, JET
fries, that I've just brought on from
California. He can beat Jeffries with
out any trouble. It'll be easy money
"I'H mention 1t to him." said tn,
printer, getting interested. ut sounds
good. and I'd like to see Fitz in actor
again myself"
Brady did another thinking stunt.

RESULT or TOO MUCH MONEY
Prosperity and Certain Forms of
Blindness Seem to Go Hand
in Hand.

Prosperity is a disease which at
tacks those who have too much money.
II is a virulent ailment, and affects it's
victims in various ways, says a writer
in Lippincott's. Sometimes it in
duces almost total blindness, so that
It's victims may ride on an elevated
train or other vehicle through blocks
of slums filed with poverty-stricken
people, without being aware of it.
In other cases men suffering from
prosperity have been known to hand
the poor great quantities of books, even
when these poor did not know where
their next meal was coming from.
In still other cases, sufferers from
prosperity, which many doctors look
upon as a species of megalomania,
have secured complete control of an
important article of food, such as
wheat, and, when the people objected
to the resultant increase in price,
roundly cursed them for their pes.
simism and lack of confidence in the
integrity of the business world.
The malady would yield readily to
treatment, but for the unfortunate fact
that those afflicted with 1t seem to
enjoy 1t.

MADE QUITE A DIFFERENCE
Stout Man EmphatlcalIy Declared He
was Not a Pillow, but Upon
Some Occasions

After he had roughly shaken off the
head of the third belated passenger
on the after-midnight train who had
sought repose on his shoulder. the
stout man proclaimed in a voice loud
enough TO be heard by everybody in
the car that the next time anybody
went to sleep with his head pillowed
on his shoulder he would give that
head good punching, that's what he
would do.
The stout mans wife said: "Sh-sh-
sh, James. Don't get so violent"
'Violent?" said the stout man. I've
right to be violent I'm no pillow,
I'm no feather bed. If anybody thinks
| am, just let him come on and I'll
show him"
At the next station two women
came in and found seats near the
stout man. Presently the younger and
prettier of the two began to nod.
Lower and lower dropped her head.
and soon 1t found a substantial rest
ing place. The stout man sat still:
so very still did he sit that his wife
wondered What had happened to him.
She leaned over and looked past his
bulky frame to find out Her face
flushed.
why, James," she said. Indignantly,
don't you remember what you said
a little while ago about punching
heads? There's a head on your Shout
der now"
rs there?" said the stout man
meekly. II hadn't noticed it,"
1t was apparent then that If there
was any head punching to be done
somebody besides the stout man would
have to do it.
"James!" said his wife significantly.
He wriggled uneasily until the head
was gently dislodged, then the stout
man and his wife changed places.

Like a dutiful cook, Jane promised
in future to obey her mistress in

was hot baked custard for dinner.
AT least. there was to have been hot

Answer-The son. If born I'm the

zen. even though his foreign-born

Article l.. section XIV. Of the United
States constitution reads: "All per-
sons born :. = .:'in the United States

of the state in which they live" Even
persons born I'm foreign countries
where their American parents are
temporarily soiourning are recognized
asl American citizens without their be-
coming naturalized. A conspicuous eX-
ample Is the late Mayor Mcclellan. OF
New York. who was born in Germany
while his parents (his father was Gen.
McClennan. OF civil war fame) were
making a tour OF Europe In 1865. The
constitution says that only a native
born citizen Is qualified for president;
vet I'm 1905 Mayor Mcclellan vas pro-
posed for the democratic presidential
nomination. and no one raised the
question that he could not qualify.

The parade that was planned TO De
one of the most spectacular features
of Mr.. Roosevelt's homecoming recep-
ton in New York has been abandoned
because so many applications had been
received from fraternal societies and
other organizations for places in the
lire OF march that Il would be imprac-
ticable 20 hold IT, and il would have
provoked hard feeling TO pick and
choose between the organizations
wanting to parade as would have had
20 have been done If the line Of march
was TO have been reduced to practi-
cable size. up to date" said Arthur
+. Crosby. secretary of the committee.
"the applications received would have
meant a line of marchers several miles
I'm length that would have taken at
least twenty -four hours tn pass a
given point" So the parade will be
cut down TO Mr.. Roosevelt himself
in carriage, the committee, in more
carriages. the Rough Riders, mounted
bands and mounted police. Evidently
New York is mighty glad that Mr..
Roosevelt is coming home.

Former President Roosevelt leans
strongly, as is well known. TO the idea
that preparedness for war affords a
nation the greatest assurance Of peace.
II is generally agreed that it would be
the height OF folly at this time for any
nation, our own included. TO invite
trouble by displaying weakness. In
common with all great powers. we
must recognize existing conditions and
deal with them practically But In
common with all highly civiliz-
ed as well as powerful nations, we
should strive TO change these condi-
tions. That the world Is moving to-
ward peace must be recognized by
every intelligent observer OF current
history; that the movement toward
universal peace demands more Wig
orous leadership than Il has had so
far seems 20 be equally clear. President
Taft must have been thinking along
this line when, I'm talking TO sub
committe Of the House foreign affairs
committee, and commenting upon the
Bartholdt bill. he put forward the
thought that It would be well II a COM
mittee Of leading citizens OF this coun-
try, headed by Theodore Roosevelt.
should travel abroad in advocacy of
universal peace.
Clothed with an influence greater
than that possessed by any other pri-
vate citizen Of America, having the re-
gard Of all nations TO an extraordinary
degree, IL may be that our ex-Presi-
dent could engage i'm useful work by
leading movement intended 10 bring
the nations together in an alliance for
tho promotion and preservation OF a
peace that should be world wide.

Care Of Clocks.

The household timekeeper needs
regular care and superintendent If
II is to keep time accurately. A re-
sponsible member of the family should
be put in charge of 1t, to wind and
regulate 1t.
A clock should be wound, as far as
possible. at one stated time, and be
regulated at fixed periods; 1t should
be kept locked so that mischievous
persons may not play with it; and its
face, hands, etc, should occasionally
be delicately busted. A periodical oil
ing may also be necessary and for
this purpose employ the purest oil,
purified by quart Of limewater to a
gallon of oil. Shake this, allow II to
stand for few days, and then care
fully pour off the pure oil without dis
turbing the sediment. The oil should
be applied to the works with a camel's
hair brush.

Memory and Intellect.

The possession of great memory
does not necessarily mean strong in
tellect. Mozart, when only 13 years
old, played new opera from one
hearing. which had been composed es-
pecially to test his skill But in addi-
ton TO reproducing the opera from
memory without missing note, he In
troduced in the second playing the va
riations, which struck his cultured
hearers dumb with amazement. Blind
Tom could probably have reproduced
the same opera. He did play LISTS
celebrated Hungarian opera after hear
ing il once without missing note,
but he could not, have created what
Mozart did. lie had Mozart's mem
DRY, but not his intellect.
