SHIFT OF LAGRAVE
Butchertown Idols Seconds
Throw up the Sponge
in the Fifth.

Auditorium Pavilion, San Francisco.
Cal, April Lightweight champion
AID Wolgast made short shrift last
night of Anton LaGrave. a rather OBJ
scure local fighter Wolgast batted
his opponent about the ring landing
whichever hand wherever he chose.
LaGrave's second threw up the sponge
after about two minutes of fighting in
the fifth round, as it was plainly ap-
parent that LaGrave would not last
the round out.
The fight was too onesided to be
interesting. Wolgast took command Of
affairs at the very outset and the
"'Butchertown" idol was never given
an opportunity to rest or land a re-
turn blow.
The men fought at 1913 pounds ring
side. Wolgast was an overwhelming
favorite at odds of 10 to and there
were few ready to risk their money en-
LaGraye's chances. There was, how
ever some betting at even money that
LaGrave would last Is rounds.

OF making 11S pounds at ringside,

Although Burns was the aggressor,
the champion with his ring general
ship outpointed him, Notwithstanding
that his left arm was almost useless
by lefts which Burns delivered on his
elbow and shoulders in the fourth and

It was an injury to this arm which
kept Atten from the ring for the last
few weeks, and after Burns's blows
he fought almost all Of the remaining
rounds with his right

to the floor with a right swing for the
count of nine and with exactly the

THE TEACHER

THE TEACHER
The poets have sung of the bold pio
neer,
Who cleared the broad way to the
west;
or the puncher in chaps with his rope
on a steor,
Who is seen on the stage at his
best.
The rancher, the miner, prospectol
and cook
! Have all heard the plaudits OF
fame.
But nowhere in magazine, paper OF
book,
,Tave / e'er read a school teachers
Yet she's done big share in the work
of the west,
She is plucky, and cheerful, and
true;
Though weary, she's stayed at hel
post with the best,
Uncomplaining- nobody knew
She trains up the boy for the work
of man,
The girl to the care of home;
She oft holds place in the west
erner's plan
Of making a home of his own.
In forest, on mountain, and dull sege-
brush plain,
From Mexico north to the line,
In land of the sunshine and land of
the rain,
She has sown the rich wealth of
the mind.
So here's to the teacher, the young
and the old,
Your kindness We'll never forget,
Though we paid you but poorly in
siler and gold,
We think of it now with regret.
You'll some day receive the reward
you have won,
Where warrants arc honored at
par;
Then you'll thrill with the thought
of labor well done,
And the days will beam bright as
a star.

KNOWING HOW
livingston IN. VI Freeman)

.
The fad Of permitting the clergy,
teachers, w. C. T. U. women, suffra-
gettes or some other totally inexperi-
enced lot of persons to take posses
sion of newspaper and issue it for
one day has not yet persisted. Out in
Pasadena, California, it was tried a
short time ago, the experiment being
made by the clergy. The Presby-
terian minister who edited the paper
wrote, at the conclusion of his days
labor.
My time is now almost up as l pen
this last line; my hand is almost
fparalyzed; my brain is befuddled and
/ am free to confess that am right
glad to vacate the holy spot. Such
rush and riot and disarray. Such a
tumble and potpourri. 1t strikes me
as the. daily effort to bring order out
of chaos and to do it lightningly
quick. l am reminded of the memoir
able words, The earth was without
form and void, and darkness was up
on the face of the deep. And the
Esprit moved upon the face of the
waters" Never shall criticise news
paper men more. shall pray for
them. They will have my hearts
forbearance henchforth and forever,
the hardest worked, shortest lived,
poorest paid brain workers on this
weary old world of ours.
This extract from the clergymans
editorial is being extensively reprint
ed in newspapers with comments
tending to show the unhappy lot of
the newspaper man. The Freeman
does not believe in such policy of
whining. The lot of the newspaper
man is no more unhappy than that of
any other GLASS Of persons who work.
If those in the business find 1t so
dredfully hard, why do they not get
out of it? The clergyman found the
work hard because he was unaccus-
toned to it. No doubt the average
newspaper man, If called upon at
short notice to fill a pulpit, would
suffer as much as did the clergyman
who thought it easy to get out a
newspaper until he tried, and then
found it so hard that he jumped to
the, conclusion that all newspaper
workers were as overworked as he
had found himself to be for one day.
There's whole lot in knowing how.

CITY BEAUTIFUL

Atlanta, whose municipal house
cleaning was described few days
ago, is not the sole city to promote
cleanliness In the community A
Massachusetts, town, unnamed to
fame, has a scheme that stands out
as a model of resultfulness and tact.
Mr.. Brown, whose front yard left
much to be desired, planted hedge.
The lawn still needed attention badly,
the rails of the porch were broken
and the steps tottered. But the hedge
seemed to the secretary of the i'm
provement association praiseworthy
start. So he wrote to Brother Brown
to this effect:
THE society has noticed with
pleasure the new hedge you have
planted. 1t thanks you in the
towns behalf for your contribu-
ton toward identifying Blank
Vile"
This official recognition of Browns
endeavor rendered 1t unremitting.
The lawn was turfed anew, the steps
and rails of the porch made ship
shape, and trees planted.
Then Neighbor Jones down the
street was stirred into rivalry in
good works. Neighbor Smith up, the
street became ashamed of his broken
down fence and unkempt lawn. Soon
the look of the street changed en-
tirely. From this street, the zeal for
improvement overspread the town.

LARDLESs COOKERY.

Horseless carriages, wireless telegra-
ply, and now lardless cookery! Lard
has one fatal objection-it is indigestible.
Nine-tenths of the indigestion with
which the American nation is afflicted
is due to the use, OF pork and its by-pro-
duct--lard.
Recognizing this, The N. X. Fair
bank Company, has placed on the mar
ket Cottolene, which can be used for
cooking purposes in every way that lard
or butter can, and which makes deli
cious, digestible and nourishing food. 1t
is recommended by physicians, even to
invalids and it is cheaper than lard,
one-third less being required.

George Wharton James, one OF the
foremost municipal art critics in

Il look upon Spokane as one OF

in regard to the general civic art i'm

day, and heartily commend Its spirit
to those who are seeking the way
to educate and arouse public senti-
ment in their cities as to what should
