means more to the negro than any
amount of money. II he defeats JEFF
it means that he will be the idol Of
his people and a celebrity Of world
wide fame. He also knows that his
income win be a large one for many
years If he continues as champion.
No stipulated amount, no matter how
big, would represent anything in par
ticular to him, not nearly 50 much as
the glory that would be his with vic
tory and the revenue that would 60
with Il.
Those who figure that the fight Is a
frameup for the white man to win be-
cause it can be manipulated better
that way from monetary standpoint
might do well to stop and think what
an enormous sum of money it would
be necessary to offer even to tempt
Johnson. granting that he would so
much as consent to listen to such a
proposition
Johnson stands to make from $780,
600 to 100000 in the course Of year
or two in the event of his winning.
1t would therefore take twice that
sum to make a bid even tempting.
Where is there any man who would
offer a quarter of a million Or more
with only the assurance Of one man
that he would not be double crossedz
Although Johnson has felt the pangs
Of hunger aud was without means to
crafty his appetite many times in the
old days. still he does not seem to
know the value Of money. If he were
strapped at the present time he might
be induced to lay down, but there is
little to tempt him while he is in pros
porous circumstances Johnson is an
easy going negro who believes in
spending his money freely aud is not
stingy or grasping.
Now, here is the Jeffries side Of it:
No one who has ever come In contact
with him or who even knows him by
reputation would give a second thought
to the suggestion that he would lay
down to an opponent. jeff may be a
tightwad and passionately fond Of
money, but he has never shown the
slightest inclination to make money
dishonesty. When Jeff was at the
height Of his ca7eer he could always
be depended on 20 dc his best. was al
ways in condition and. above all,
strictly on the level. This is the most
important battle Of his career, and for
any one TO think he would consent to
throw down his friends is the worst
kind Of tommyrot
Therefore there is no reason for any
one to figure that the coming big bat
tie VIII be decided other than on the
merits Of the contestants.
II the fight is a fake the pictures
will be worthless. II it is a good fight
they will be worth S5O00OO, If not
more. So you see that Rickard has TO
protect his own interests in every way
IN his power. ia fact, it is unjust to
reflect on Gleason or Rickard by even
suggesting prearrangement. You lot
this down in your little notebook--the

Reports from Jim Jeffries' training
camp at Rowardennan vary so much
from day to day that it is next to i'm
possible for any ona to get correct
line on the real condition of the former
boilermaker from newspaper reports.
That the crouch that Jetfries is charg-
ed with harboring has much to do with
the unfavorable reports which are sent
broadcast Is no doubt true, but there
may be reason, too, which warrants
these statements. One day JEFF is az
good as he ever was, and the next
time he goes through some stunts he
shows plainly that he is not in form.
Jeff's desultory style of training has
not been altogether pleasing to the
followers Of pugilism who have been
watching from day 70 day the reports
that emanate from Rowardennan.
While it is conceded that the ex-cham-
pion and his trainers are in a position
to know better than any one else what
the big fellow requires to condition
himself, there is another side to the
story.
The old question Of whether JEFF
fries will be able to stand up under
the strain Of fight was to have been
answered in part by bis work in camp
That work has not been such, however,
as to give any true line. 1t is quite
true that he has done world of road
work, that he has toiled conscientious
" in the handbalI court and gymna-
sium and that upon occasions he has
worked furiously with the gloves.
There has. however, been too much
relaxation mixed in with the boxing
to satisfy people. B'or every day that

TRAINING CAMP
Jeffries has boxed he has laid off two
and perhaps three. and Of actual spar
ring he has had little or no work. In
short, the stories from Rowardennen
have been so regularly of a iayofr and
trip TO this place or another that
suspicious have been aroused as to
whether Jeffries dares to go to work
in real earnest.
His preliminary exercising has been
well and good, but 1t is high time
that be take serious thought Of his
boxing. for man SO long out Of the
game as Jeff has been needs to regain
that Judgment In hitting and that
quickness OF the eye that cannot come
otherwise than with the gloves Since
he settled down IN the mountains It
has been announced that after the mid
die OF June there will be no boxing
lest there might be an accident to his
hands.
That means the time for actual train
ing is narrowing down. At the out
side, Jenries has not more than a
month for actual work He can afford
also to do his work more in the open
and where the crowds can see him.
1t is All very well TO designate the
newspapers as the eyes Of the public
but when there is too much secrecy
the masses are quite apt to imagine
things that are not 50. All in all, It
behooves Jeffries 10 get down 10 seri-
Gus business and let hls friends know

RESOLUTIONS
Passed In Memory of Ben A,
hardawaY by BewIeyyiIIe
Sunday School

AT the regular meeting of The Bew-
leyville Sunday School on Dec. 19,
1909, announcement vas made that
Ben A. Hardaway had on Saturday
morning passed away from earth to
Heaven.
Where upon a committee was ap-
pointed to craft suitable resolutions
expressive of the great sorrow of the
school over the loss of one who had for
seventy years labored so faithfully
therein.
This committee made the following
resolutions. Whereas that God in his
wisdom hath seen fit to call away
from our midst our beloved teacher,
Bro. Ben Hardaway and given him a
home in that land of Joy and song
where he can join loved ones gone be-
fore in giving praise to him on high.
Therefore resolved that in our de-
parted brother, the Sunday School has
lost most faithful and punotual
teacher, one of its most exemplary and
useful members man who leaves a
reputation unvarnished by even the
suspicion of wrong doing, and one
whose standard of honor was always
high. The family. loses a kind
husband, loving father and brother;
and the community has lost a most
helpful citizen.
Resolved that we tender the bereav-
ed family our heartfelt sympathy in
their season of sorrow and bid them
remember whom the Lord loveth he
chasteneth.
Resolved that copy of these re-
solutions be furnished the Meade and
Brecki nridge county papers, also to
the Secretary to be read before the
School, then to be spread on the mimi,
ties.

him, his impression OF a city is greatly
enhanced. Great Enid is not at all
lacking in this respect for there are
few hotels in the country that offer
better service and accommodation
than does the Loewen
This hotel was built over two years
ago by Mr. Albert Loewen, whose aim
it is always to have and give the best
the country affords. At first many of
the citizens of Enid thought that this
hotel with its 100 elegantly appointed
rooms, was entirely too large for the
size of the city, but little did they
realize that hotel to render the service
necessary especially in a growing city
like Enid, should be several years
ahead of the conditions of the city.
The present management took the
house one year ago. Under the able
management of Mr. II. W. Herndon
who has spent his life in the hotel bust
ness this house has developed until it
now has outgrown its capacity and the
management have decided to add
another story to the present building,
increasing it so rooms making $50 in all,
furnished with hot and cold water,
steam heat and phone service.
The culinary service is one of the
most attractive features of this house
this being far beyond that of the
ordinary Oklahoma hotel.
Mr.. Herndon operated the Herndon
hotel at Herndon, KY, Tor six years,
the Grayson Springs hotel, at Grayson
Springs, KY, the largest summer resort
in Kentucky, and the Henrietta at
Princeton, KY, an experience which
more than qualities him to meet all de-
mands of the most critical and exacting
guest of the Loewen. He is by far the
most capable hotel manager Enid has
ever had. Enid Daily

KINDNESS
Displayed BY Dumb Animals
Writes Mr.. Penick- Unusual
Incident.

Dear Mr.. Babbage: My attention was
called to an incident a week ago that
I think deserves mention.
At my fathers home they have a large
Maltese cat which is not only a pet
there, but in the entire neighhorhood.
It has often shown extraordinary sense
w. p. Rompie, my brother-in-law has
Foxterior dog which is great pet too.
The cat and dog have always been
enemies. Seemingly, each one jealous
of the other until recently, an incident
worked wonders in their attitude to-
wards each other. A lady was passing
the home accompanied by a large
vicious dog that attached our little dog
Just as soon as he saw him. The lady
said she thought her dog would kill the
little fellow in spite of all she could do,
when suddenly the cat sprang upon the
scene, leaped on the big dog with all
its weight. The cat scratched and bit
the big dog until he freed the little one.
After that the cat and little dog ran
back to the house as fast as they could
and ever since that day have been good
friends and get along fine together.
