pfversined Farming.

II is always refreshing and inspir-

and producing superior results, says
the Chicago Weekly Inter Ocean. The

der.
In recounting the work and deeds
OF man we are prone to select al
most impossible ideal types, often so
high that they are little understood,
almost impossible to copy by the
masses. We often pass by the good
man who is doing valuable things in a
small way and which in the end are
worth more to the masses than many
Of the so-called great things that have
popular airing. Many small good
things are worth more to humanity
than few large things. The small
everyday deeds are what feed, clothe,
shelter and educate the world. Every
deed counts for something.
Farming Is more becoming a busi-
ness and science of the highest order.

CHAPTER |.

Mrs. Sayville had stayed unusually
sen to open this story, was sitting at
the writing-table In her private room
richly-furnished and luxurious apart
ment with yellow brocade curtains and
stained-glass windows. She was a
small. slight woman, with regular, del
icate features. quick, dark eyes, and
hair nearly white, combed back and
surmounted by tiny cap of exquisite
lace with tuft of scarlet velvet RIB
bon. The small thin hand which held
her pen was loaded with rings that
flashed and glittered even in the sub
dued sunshine while the other gently
caressed the head of small, silky,
pearl-colored dog which lay on chair
beside her.
She was speaking with a fair, large
lady about her own age, who occupied
an arm chair at the other side of the
table, and who was rather gorgeously
attired In outdoor dress.

hands and willing to take chance at
every opening. He played more for the
body in these rounds and his blows ap-
parently had the desired effect on the
Dane. He began to slow up a bit and
the steam gradually left his punches.
Moran did wonderful execution with
both hands. He had them ready all the
time and in the eighth round he landed
so hard with shower of rights and
Iefts to the Battler's jaw that his
seconds shouted at him to go in and
finish his man. But none of these blows
was quite hard enough to give the Dane
even a proper shaking up. He Just
kept coming.
Possibly the best punch that the Dane
landed during the contest was hard
right to the kidneys in the ninth round.
This one caused Moran to half double
up vince and run for cover with Bat
in full pursuit. AS soon as he caught
his man Nelson landed with his left to
the jaw and he seemed to be doing some
damage when the bell sounded.
Nelson never had what could be
properly termed a knockout punch. but
yesterday there seemed to be absolutely
no steam behind his blows Consider
ing that he had the weight advanta ge
over his opponent and could outreach
him all the time. his showing was in
deed a very sorry one. 1t proved con-
clusively that the once great fighting
machine was not even shadow of his
former self.
The San Francisco call., 1910-11-27

the day he lost the championship to
Wolgast. He was fast at the outset,
leading off in the first round with a
clean left, which landed in Moran's
face. But in the middle of the round
Moran retalated with several rights
and lefts to Nelson's head and had the
lead at the bell.
The Dane started again in the second
by planting his left to the Brtisher's
face. Then there was clinch and an
other and another. with Nelson boring
in and Moran meeting him every time
with clean punches. Apparently Bat
could not get his head down on Mo-
rams chest and fight his favorite bat
tie, for the Britisher invariably shook
him off.
The third was all Moran. When
Nelson came at him, he sidestepped and
ducked with wonderful cleverness. He
would ship his left to the head and
bring his right over to the body with
plenty of force In the meantime Bat
managed to land with a few choppy
lefts to the head. but they did not count
at all In comparison with Moran s
punches.
Round four found the Battler much
faster and Moran slower. The Dane
was the aggressor, while Moran con-
tented himself with stepping around
and sizing UP his man. At that. he
landed as many clean blows as did Bat
and the round ended with honors about
even up.
Nelson was just as fast in the fifth
and he quickly rushed Moran across
the ring. But the Britisher fought him
back every inch of the way and it was
a case of give and take. Nelson rocked
the Englishman with nasty right and
left hook to the jaw which brought
out a shout of warning from his corner
Moran, however, was quickly out of
danger and he finished up the round,
fighting strong.
The sixth was all Moran. He took
the lead at the outset and kept pepper
ing his opponent with rights and Iefts
to the face every time he came in.
Occasionally Owen would vary the
monotony with hard drive to the
body, which caused Bat to vince The
seventh was about even up, for Bat
seemed to regain much of his lost ener-

lapse was so sudden that ii completely

Nelson was just as aggressive, just
as fast and just as game as he was
when he won the lightweight cham
pionship from Joe Cans nearly three
years ago but alas, he lacked that
wonderful power of recuperation. The
first hard punch that Moran landed put
the Dane on his back. He fell and
rolled over instead of shaking his head
and boring in for more.
Nelson has in his day taken hun
dreds Of harder and more effective
punches from Cans, Young Corbett,
Herrera and countless others, but in
those days he had the stamina and. the
strength and the powers of recupera-
tion to stand by him in his moment of
need. Yesterday he lacked them all.
The telling blow toppled him over like
a heavy log. He was done for. He

The Dane is eliminated from the
ranks of the near lightweight cham
pions. It's Moran's turn at Wolgast
now. He demonstrated his ability to
knock Nelson out and he is entitled to
the position of runner up for cham
pionship honors. Nelson's fond dream
of again wearing the championship
crown is forever crushed. He must step
down and out.
Moran fought great battle, the best
in his career. AS for Nelson, he was

cause Moran laid off, rested and did not
try as hard as he tried in the rounds

opened up lead when he cracked Kane
over the right eye and started reg
ular oil field gusher. While the wound
was not serious, it gave the tender
feet around the ring plenty of chance
to look horrifed and comment on the
flow of blood.
Before the round ended Barnes had
widened the long cash over Kane's
eye and the combatants were both COW
cred with blood. During the intermis-
sion Kane's seconds plastered the
wound with colodion, stopping the
flow of gore and Kane quickly saw that
it was up to him to convince the crowd
that he was not beaten man.
With the opening of the fifth round
Kane tore in with both hands and out
fought Barnes from bell to bell. Again
in the sixth Kane established a lead
which acted as an offset for the punish
ment received in the fourth round and
earned him draw at the hand of

was a "bloomer.- The .colored man
had Carranzas goat" before they en-
tered the ring, and after playing with
the Watsonville lemon for two rounds
Williams whipped out right and left
cross which caused Lupe to seek a soft
spot on the canvas.
The two winning blows undoubtedly
carried a sting with them, but Carranza
showed no inclination to come back for
more after he was stretched on the
ring floor In startling contrast to
Battling Nelson's game efforts to rise
and fight on was the contented way in
which Carranza hugged the canvas un-
til the referee counted him out. Car
rama may do as fighter in the
"bushes.' but he can hardly qualify as
a gamester in local company.

the fact that Nelson might have

Unfortunately for Promoter Blot, Gov

idle ever since.
