LIKES OUR CLIMATE.
travelling Man Says Copper Country
People Needn't Go South.

Il don't see any reason for copper
country people going south in winter,
or TO California, II they have weather
like this very often" said Con b. Blr-
ong' OF Chicago. who is in Hancock
calling on the local undertaking trade
today. He was assured that this is
the kind of weather the conner
country has been enjoying nearly all
winter, except for few cold spells,
when the thermometer dropped to ne
low zero. Mr.. Birong commented upon
the small amount of snow, where one
naturally expects arctic conditions,
this city being so far north. "Why
they have lots more snow than this in
chicago, and it has been quite cold
there all winter. The worst expert
ence have had this winter with snow
occurred in Wisconsin at the time
OF the big storm of January H. / was
at Cuba City, Wisconsin, and it was
necessary for me to ride to Pattsville,
twelve miles away, to take the ST.
Paul train. / was told that IL would
be difficult to get through in sleigh
on account of drifts. but couple Of
men around the livery stable were in
duced to accompany me. 1 was I'M
able to find a snow shovel, so made
one that would scoop up about a Gu
bic yard of snow at each clip. / also
got steel shovel and with these we
started out to encounter the drifts.
Before getting outside of town IL be-
came necessary to get out and shovel
a path for the horses and every little
while this had to be repeated. II
took five hours to drive the twelve
miles between Cuba City and Platt-
Vile. Arriving there and seeing the
telegraph poles along an unbroken
stretch of deep snow covering some
railway tracks, / inquired what road
1t was. / was told that it was the
st. Paul and that no trains had yet
gotten through. And after having
exerted myself and worked myself to
death pretty near, to get there, l found
after all that / would have to wait an
other day before there would be a
train coming through"

THE HIGH COST OF DYING.

A committee appointed by the City Club

dying. AS everybody knows. people of
small income usually give away 10 ex-

ours Money is spent recklessy for flow
ers, carriages and on. AT the same time
undertakers are believed to take advantage
frequently of those who, when afflicted.

reduced from s552 30 to s3O2 go The under
takers make defence of their acts which

hed IN making from 100 to 200 per cent

OF funerals and the consequent period OF

sase or bad debts" coupled with the fact
that so many of their bills must go through
probate; the ever present danger of infec-
tioh ana loss of life in embalming There

Then there have been joy parties and Joy
rides The lure of the racing automobile
has constantly proved too strong for the
negro to resist, and he has often discarded
the gloves for wild dashes over the coun-
try in his automobile.
Still, the tall; lanky negro seems TO be fit.
| His boxing recently has been fast and
satisfactory. Johnson has plenty of sense.
He is a shrewd man. And realizing how
much he has at stake. it is hardly likely
that he will enter the ring out of condition.
Jeffries ard Johnson differ radically. Out
of the ring Jeffries is quiet, retiring citi-
zen-the lure of the gay white way never
enmeshed him in fact Jeffries is truly
remarkable fighter, in that after he won
the championship he never hit up the pace
that kills. 1t Is largely this fact that
makes him a favorite over Johnson in the
betting. Few and far between are the late
suppers and wine parties that the big Cali
fornian has INDUCED in. Life on a farm
with his wife was what suited him best.
Johnson is just the opposite. The negro
is a lover OF publicity and notoriety. He
like the attention of the multitude. and his
habits have frequently brought him into
the limeIight Of police courts. His greatest
fad is automobile speeding. This has cost

rested time after time for exceeding the
speed limit. But "easy come. easy go is
the negro's motto and he pays his fines
with hardly a whimper. He has been ar
rested on other charges more serious, but
so far he has scraped through without
Serving time"
Johnson is just a good-natured negro. 1t
takes a lot to ruffie his TEMPER and his
IL f3,I,t
sible If not modest and has won him
kindly criticism from a number of persons
who, however hope to. see Jeff knock
him out.
AS to the outcome Of the fght-who can
say what it will be? The only safe thing
to venture is that it will, while it lasts be
some fight'
There has been endless speculation as to
the tactics the two men will adopt when
they face each other in the ring The gem
eral opinion seems to be that Jeffries will
force the fight from the start, carry it to
Johnson all the way" as ring parlance puts
1t, and that Johnson will use all his skill
in keeping away, hoping to tire jeff out
and then "go In and lick him.
In his previous fights John son has never
been overanXious TO force the lighting. He
has generally .et the other man do the
forcing. waited his opportunity and then
driven home the punch that counted. JEFF
fries was never a patient waiter. When he
got another man in the ring with him, he
started lighting and kept on until the other
fellow couldn't. Corbett the cleverest boxer
in the world, danced all around the big /
man for tWenty-three rounds, jabbing him I
when he felt like il and easily lodging the
returns. Then, when every one thought the
former champion would surely win the fight
on points, Jeffries SUDDENLY cornered him .
