ERR|NG W|FE'S PENANCE
REQUIRED BY HUSBAND TO
CREEP 70 PRIESTS HOUSE.
Children Witness Their Mother
Humiliation, Which She Accepts
Without Objection.

CHICAGO. July o3.-In the presence of
her husband. whom she confessed she
had wronged, and many of her friends
and neighbors, Mrs. j. Anderson Thurs
day crept on her hands and knees from
her home in Waukegan to the residence
of the Rev. Father Kruszes, a block
away.
Mrs. Andersons children at the win
dows OF the house were spectators OF
their mothers humiliation. Tears
streamed from her eyes as she crept
along. Those who had been guests In
that some Of them attempted to remon-
strate with Anderson, who had imposed
this penance as the condition on which
he would receive his wife back into his
house and allow her to meet their chill
dren.
Wife Accepts the Condition.
But Mrs. Anderson was glad to accept
the condition and she did not welcome
intarcession. II deserve it"' she cried as
she toiied painfully along.
1t was only last Friday that Mrs. An
derson deserted her husband and their
four children to elope with Joseph Grick,
a boarder. The couple went to Buffalo,
but the woman's mother love overcame
her and she determined to return to
Waukegan.
Her husband met her at the door and
she threw herself at his feet and, clasp
ing his knees. besought him to forgive
her for the childrens sake.
Anything. I'll do anything, dear hus-
band she cried. Follow me as you
are" he said. and the pathetic journey
to the priests house began.
They came out arm In arm, apparently
reconeiled. and walked silently back to
their home

says that the worlds greatest fight

Corbett. was as fiatfooted fighter
as the world ever saw. The power
behind his punch was helped out by
this peculiar stand. Do you think for
a moment that FitZ could have jolted
with that mule kick slam II he had
been up on his toes? Can any man
in the world deliver a hard punch
on his toes?
Corbett declares that Johnson,
who fights fiat-footed. cannot be q
good boxer. Strange again, Jim, when
you figure that Battling Nelson, Joe
Cans, Stanley Ketchel and all OF our
best tiguters are Aat-Iooted. Jeu is
fiat-footed, along with the others.

All of this simply goes to show
that the feet are not essential to
Joe Cans won his spurs
by his marvellous blocking. He never
