All arrangements have been COM
pleted for the big boxing and wrest-
ling tournament which will be held at
the Coliseum, Tuesday. This promises
to be bristling with interesting events
as the participants are capable men in
their respective classes. Thursday
night at Anderson, Kid Brown, who is
to meet Tommy Dillon in a six round
bout at 1873 pounds, secured the de-
cision over Young Texas in three
rounds, Brown has boxed two ten
round draws with Jack Dillon, their
first encounter being at Indianapolis
about a year ago and a few months
later the second was held in Dayton.
Brown defeated Bobby Long a short
time ago at the Mitchell club in Ind
annapolis. The bout was scheduled to
go ten rounds, but the referee stopped
the mill in the fourth session to save
Long from further punishment. Dill
Ion, his opponent in the main bout of
the evening, is also clever mitt
singer and is reputed to have heavy
swing with either hand.
Two Indianapolis boxers, Tommy
Moore and Willie McGee, will appear
in four round exhibition, the former
to meet young Oliver of Benton Har-
Dor and the latter will lock horns with
Kid Simms of Cleveland. Simms is
touted as being a conner and will make
it interesting for MCGEE, who is under
the protective wing of Ray Bronson,
the crack lightweight Moore fought
a six round draw with Larry Donovan
in Indianapolis recently. although
Donovan outweighed him at least 10
pounds.
For the wrestling contest it is un-
necessary to say much as the Rich
| mond fans know Charles Olson who
will meet George Pullman. the Buffa-
10 giant, in finish match, best two
out of three falls.

WET AND DRY MOONS.
Old Superstition and Cold Facts From
the Astronomers.

Old Superstition and Cold Facts From
the Astronomers.
There is an old superstition which
dies hard, and that is that the posi-
ton Of the horns Of the new moon
tells what the weather will be. II the
horns Of the crescent are on the same
level it will hold water. and hence 1t
is dry moon, but il IT is tipped up
then the water will run out, and 1t Is
a wet moon.
One thing has helped keep this be-
lief alive. The moon is dry" in the
part Of the spring that is usually fair.
while it is wet during the season Of
autumn rains.
If this were a sure sign Of the
weather We could have our predic-
tons published many years in ad-
vance. for an astronomer can predict
the exact position of the moon at any
time in the future.
The cause for the different positions
Of the crescent is simple. The moon is
south Of the sun in the autumn and
north Of it in spring. The crescent is
found by the light Of the sun falling
on the moon. and the horns are natu.
rally in a line perpendicular to the d.
rection Of the sun from the moon.
That is all there is to this old super.
stition.-Boston Herald.

Confucius.

Confucius regarded his own life as a
failure. He spoke against ambition.
yet he coveted high Office, nothing less
than that Of political adviser to some
great ruler. A man of the highest
lineage in China. he was yet poor and
early supported himself by teaching.
His pupils showed hir an extraordi-

men in his native state of Lu sat at
his feet. and it was they who trans
mitted his tremendous influence. But
Confucius saw not his immortal sue
cess, but his temporal failure. Only
for a few brief years did circumstances
permit him TO exercise his practical
genius for government. He became
first a magistrate. then chief crimina
judge in Lu. and. to quote Professor
Legge. crime ceased Confucsus

A MILD DECEMBER.

The late Joseph Dorsey of San Jose, the famous detective. whose best feat was the capture of Canon Der nard after a chase from Alaska to Cape Horn, used to impute his sue cess to his knowledge of men.
 "A detective" he would say, should know the habits of every class. Then no disguise can deceive him.
 "All men, even the most methodical, have their habits. Even the tramp has his.
 "'You great, big, lazy loafer, l said to tramp one December day, you ought to be in jail
 Yes, Algie,' the tramp replied, as he pretended to fix a monocle in his eye. Yes, I know it's the correct thing for our set at this season, but, deuce take it, it's such mild winter, don't you know!'"

If you had a million dollars,

 Just to tighten others rue? Would you be a sort of Santa
 Claus for people who were poor, Bringing happiness to novels
 Where the wolf stood at the door? Would you lend to all your neighbors,
 Bolster up your relatives? Feel the splendid inner glowing
 Of the man who gives and gives? Would you give carloads of flowers
 For the crippled and the sick? Woould you pierce the gloom of alleys
 Where life's ills were throning thick? Would you set a good example
 For some other men of wealth Who keep at their sordid grubbing
