a Costly Funeral.

The most costly state funeral which
has ever taken place was perhaps that
of Alexander the Great. A round mil
lion was spent in laying Alexander to
his rest. The body was placed in a
coffin Of gold filed with costly aro-
MATES. and a diadem was placed on
the head. The funeral car was embel-
Iished with ornaments of pure gold,
and it's weight was so great that 1t
took eighty-four mules more than a
year to convey it from Babylon to
Syria.

The foreman of the jury at a city
inquest in London the other day made
an interesting suggestion regarding
motor vehicles. "A bar should be
placed In front of the radiator" he
said 80 that a person run into could
clutch it. The radiator is always hot,
and a person on endeavoring to save
himself cannot cling to it."

sorry for the big white man as he fell be-
meath the champions blows. 1t was the
most pitiable sight | ever saw. AS a mat
ter of fact, | thought away down in my
heart that Jeffries would be the winner of
the fight
The fight was won and lost when
Jeffries went through the first time. This
is official. The other knockout does not
count 1t was this way:
"Jeffries was brought to his knees and
as he arose dazed, Johnson hit him with
a succession of lefts that sent him through
the ropes AS he lay there several OF his
seconds caught hold of him and helped
him to his feet. Under the rules of the
game, which | have read thoroughly
while certain persons were saying that 1
would not referee a fight. this disqualified
Jeffries, and Johnson was the winner.
II thought the seconds were going to
carry Jeffries to his corner. Instead they
beaten further, while | was doing all
could during the confusion to stop the
fight.
'Jeffries could not hit Johnson. and
Johnson could hit Jeffries whenever he
pleased. Jeffries not as good the
last time he fought.
