Sieuths, Looking for stolen Butter,
Made Woman Open 1t.
A lady of Beloit recently had an en-
barrassing half hour in the baggage
room of the local depot when inquisi-
tive officials pried into trunk which
she had brought from a suburban sta
ton. The local sleuths had a mystery
to unravel in connection with some
butter that had been stolen, and were
noslng abcut the trunks to see if they
contained anything that smelt like
dairy products. This woman's trunk
was very heavy, and the officials stuck
around until the woman arrived u
claim it. Then they craved a look into
1t. The woman was entirely innocent
OF any butter plot, but she showed
such confusion that it looked suspic-
lous. Finally, with bitter weep, she
opened the trunk for inspection. It
contained no butter, but the dressed
corpse of plump young porker. The
sIeuths respectfully uncovered and
helped her bear the remains to an ey-
press wagon.

JEFFRIES AS a TEXT
Preacher Thinks He Can't "Come
Back" and Points Moral.


Back, and Points a Moral.
Can Jeffries Come Back?" was the
title Of a sermon preached by the Rev.
John Hamilton Timbrell in the Cedar
Gilt Methodist Episcopal church, SAYS
the New York Sun. The preacher took
his text from the Book of Judges. and
after describing as pathetic and hui
initiating the downfall of Samson, he
said it pointed moral to the case of
Jefries, Can the old-time champion
come back?" the preacher asked. and
then he said:
isis question, so far as its sporting
phase is concerned, may have little or
no interest TO US save as it touches
a great fundamental principle that is
Of the most profound interest to all
thinking men, and one which may lead
many of them to read what they other
wise would not. the sporting pages of
the sporting papers, to see if Jeffries
can come back.
What is the point in this case?
Jeffries won the belt and much lucre,
and then stepped out of the ring to
have a good time and enjoy himself,
and for five years, like Samson, with
his head in the lap of Delilah, Jeffries
has slept with his head in the lap of
luxurious and bibulous life. While
he has slept a big black gorilla has
come into the ring and has put the
world of sport into about the same
condition that ancient Israel was in
when Goliah of Gath was staggering
about and Dragging of what he could
do IN the presence of the crowd that
was sore afraid to tackle him. And
the pugilistic crowd is looking the
world over to find some champion who
can stand up to the gorilla and down
him and take the belt, which means
about the same thing to these modern
heather as the wreath of laurel meant
to the ancient heather in the Corin-
THAN games. And with desperation in
their glance they turn to Jeffries with
this question, which means far more
than a laurel wreath to them: Can
Jeffries come back?'
"a noted athletic trainer has given
them his unbiased opinion He is one
of the best authorities on athletic
training. And it is not reassuring to
the crowd who are so eager to bet
their shekels on JEFF. He says: 1T
makes no difference whether a man Is
runner, jumper, fighter, ball player
or participant In any other branch of
sport, if he stops training for three or
four years he can never regain his
lost form. Furthermore he says: L
have never seen an exception to the
rule
Back of this statement of the
trainer and looking out upon us
though, it is great fundamental prin-
ciple that Is as solemn as the day Of
judgment, a principle that will be
found to hold everywhere in the uni
verse of God, the momentousness of
which may cause us for the time being
to overlook the fact that our attention
is called to 1t through the malodor
Gus channel of the pugilfstic ring
