THE BEST EPITAPH.

The Saturday Evening Post of re-
cent date recounts the sweet, simple
and stray experiences of "A Circuit
Riders Wife," in the unassuming
| language of that dear little woman
herself, shabby and poor in this
worlds treasures but rich in service
and soul-wealth. Speaking of her
husband, the plain-minded, plodding-
pious William, she says:
And now, when it is all over, when
| the violets are blooming so much at
home above his dear dust, / feel at
last that ] can afford to confess his
beautiful limitations. After you are
dead it doesn't matter if you We're
not successful in business way. No
one has yet had the courage to me-
moraliZe his wealth on his tombstone.
A dollar-mark would not look well
there. The best epitaph proclaims
simple old Scripture virtues, like
honesty and diligence and patience.
And you will observe that when the
meanest skinflint of the most disgrace
fully avaricious millionaire dies his
tombstone never refers to his most
notorious characteristics. His friends
speak not of his scandalous specula-
tons but of his benevolences. Thus,
some of the most constituencies
rogues in a generation go down to
posterity with expurgated tablets to
their memory, which, of course, is
best for posterity."
1t is not the most delightful of
themes, | confess, but each of us de-
votes a handful of minutes TO specu-
lation of tombstone virtues now and
then, cen though he would not con-
fess it to his neighbor. At any rate,
there is something to think on in the
philosophizing of this representative
of a service-bearing profession. She
is undeniably right when she says
that dollar mark would not look
Wei VII d IOlilDSlOnt anu,
the possessions of this world fade in

worker takes up his tools and asks,
What shall / carver"

pies of yesterday, have lost none OF

thought to the humber Spiritual vir-
tues in the amassing of money or
other temporal powers, it is well to
remember that after you are dead,

success in a business way" 1t is
better for posterity that tombstones
tell lies or, TO be more mild, practice
the art of gentle deception but it is
infinitely better for the one-time in
habitant of the clay planted under
meath the violets if his epitaph may
record the Scriptural virtues of hon
esty, patience and diligence without
equivOcation on the part of friends
and relatives" ua-..~

A TURFMAN'S OPINION.
Well Known HOrseman From the Pa
cihc Coast Gives His Views On the
Big Fight.

( CIhC NVdSt VINeS MS views vi tnc
Big Fight.
SO many sensational rumors are in
circulation as to the Jeffries-Jo Johnson
fight involving the condition of the
! principals, the integrity of the match,
the schemes Of the promoters and
other matters that the sporting pub
lie naturally is somewhat bewilder-
ed. Jim Corbett has just signed a
contract with a syndicate to furnish a
daily letter from Jeffries camp, so
that the glowing accounts he is fur
nishing to show that the boilermaker
lis in wonderful condition" must be
taken with salt.
Jeffries is a partner in this enter
prise and dictates Corbetts stories.
At least that is the positive statement
made by a well known turfman in a
letter from San Francisco This per-
son has been at Emeryville all win
ter and is usually in the know" In
his letter he goes on to say many in
teresting things as follows
Tex VIII Not Referee.
TEX Richard will never be the ref
cree. He has told close friends that
he has troubles enough now and does
not want the honor. Richard was
named as referee in order to settle
the dispute for public purposes, but
there was a real fight between Jeff
and Johnson because each feared that
the other would slip something over.
Graney it is understood, is trying to
undermine Berger in Jeff's estimation
so that he can be the referee, but
his success is doubtful Nobody here
likes Berger, and he and Graney have
a hot feud on
johnson is training like a real
fighter and the wise money will be on
the negro unless there is some new
development between now and the
day of the fight. The battle will be
held here in Frisco if anywhere. The
promoters have been shaken down
good and hard, but even at that they
will make a barrel of money unless
there is some slipup.
Money for tickets is coming in
every mail and in a week there'll be
100000 in the bank here for certi-
fcates already out. 1t is common
talk that certain politicians caused
Richard and Gleason to be driven out
of Emeryville by using pressure on
Tom Williams and others in order
that they might be forced back to
Frisco for the killing.
Breakdown BY Jefi.
The only thing likely to stop the
fight is backdown on Jefs part.
He is in really good condition physi-
eally and is wonderfully improved ov-
er his form of year ago. Many
doubt, however, if he can reach a
stage to fight more than 10 or 10
rounds and defeat Johnson His one
chance seems to rush the negro into
corner early in the fight and beat
him down by pure savage fighting.
If it is long figho jeff is done for.
Johnson is absolutely confident,
but not careless. He is fighting every
day with his partners, while so far
Jeff's helpers have been jollying him
in practice bes.s. They are all afraid

can be made the day before and be

particle of grease. If the chicken is
an honest bird and the cooking has
been slow and careful the result will
be firm chicken jelly, full of nutri-

this over do the heating slowly, never
allowing the boullion to come to
boil, and add a pinch of freshly
chopped parsley to each cup when
serving.

comforting drink, which is often
served at bridge parties and makes

some sort.
Beat separately the whites and
yolks of eggs rubbing in the quantity
of sugar wanted with the yolks and
whipping the whites to a stiff froth.
Then stir the two together and pour
in the boiling milk, stirring all the
while that the eggs may not turn.
Add brandy or rum and grated lemon
