II we were called upon to name the
two worst enemies of the negro in
America we would not hesitate to an
swer. whisky and pistols" The bane
Of the race is the reckless, irresponsi-
BILE young negro who fears neither
God nor man. and whose degradation
can be traced directly to the two evils,
whisky drinking and pistol -toting. !"
When an ignorant youth fills up on
mean whisky and has a gun in his hip
pocket he at once becomes a menace
to the public peace. While others than
negroes are equally as guilty OF the
evils mentioned, we are concerned just
now in helping to lift our own burden.

A quaint or homely way of express
ing a truth is often the most forceful.
A minister, possessing an irrepress-
ible sense of humor, has been lectur-
ing US as to the best way to get along
in the world. He said one need know
merely how to tickle the world" to
get from it a measure of what may be
wanted. These are his illustrations:
He tickled an old SOW with stick,
on one occasion, and she edged over
toward him to be tickled some more.
The tickling was repeated several
times, and soon she was fla on her
back enjoying the fiattery to the high
est. Tickle the ground, said he, and
it will yield in comparative abundance.
Some young men put up the wall that
young women will not accept their at
tentions. These fellows are green on
the tickling process"
Tickling the world" is another way
Of saying that success with the pub
lie depends principally on the way
people are approached-on the tact a
person shows in his daily dealings
WlIn MS 1el4OWS.
Carry a cheerful expression, smile
often, and people will smile back and
give you a respectful hearing. 1t is
the hard-headed, close-cloaked person
going about with an air of 'T-know-
evsrything-you-know-nothing," who is
continually grumbling about this being
hard old world"
Get it into your head that you are
merely part of this great big piece
of world machinery; and that each
person you meet is as much a part of
it as you are. Turn yourself aloose to
learn something from every one with
whom you come in contact. Try the
plan of tickling the world" and you
win experience better results In all
your affairs.-Southern Life Magazine.

Of life to it and full of interesting
plays but from what 1 have seen IN
a small way IT lacks the strenuousness
Of the Yankee game which appeals 70

who attend the big college games in
the states. OF course, it would be I'M
fair to try and compare the two with
out seeing the big teams in action. and
for that reason 1 must pass II up this
time. There are other forms of foot
ball here the regular association and
the league Rugby, also the Union Rus

crowds turn out averaging between
10000 and $4,000 and on extraordinary
occasions the number has been between
Go 0O0 and $4,000 people. they love
sport and their hobby is cricket and
football. with great desire for horse
racing, which has a strong hold on the
people here.
Bowling on the Green.
Bowling on the green is one of the
standard games in Australia during
the summer months, especially for the
elderly men. The game is played sim
liar to our game of ten pins at home.
except that it is played on the green
grass in the open air, instead of on
90 and ~ inch alleys. In place Of the
ten pins arranged in a triangle the
players here use a white ball about
the size of a billiard ball, and ii is
placed in a position. if a player hits the
white ball it counts, five, no matter
whether the opposing player should
be nearest at the conclusion of the roll.
Each player rolls four balls, the one
having the best position to the white
ball getting the count. The balls used
are a little larger than our pony balls
a home. and instead Of being perfectly
round they are shaved a bit on the
sides with lead on the inner sides 10

ways to curve in The player. rolls the
ball considerably TO either side and
curves them int the center or between
the other balls in a very clever manner.
It is all in the Judge Of speed and
twist that the player gets the best re-
suits and the wa some of them corI-
troll the balls is really marvellous. The
lanes are as level as a billiard table
and the balls seldom leave their course
after being delivered. The bowling

KNOCKOUT BROWN
NOW THE LAD Of
PROMISE
New York Lad One Of the
Six Best Sellers in
Fight List.
By ". W. Naughton.

San Francisco, Cal, Feb 1S.-Young
Valentine Brown of New York, who has
been saddled with the ominous name Of
Knockout Brown" is now fairly in the
limelight. He was always regarded as
a lad Of promise in his own city. Ris-
ing young fighters differ from biblical
prophets. The latter, they say, are not
honored where they belong as a rule
and nowhere else.
It required the opportunity Brown
secured when he met AID. Wolgast to
send his stock booming. Brown Is now
amongst the six best sellers and not
even Owen Moran, who has the honor
of being the first fighter who knocked
Battling Nelson really cold. has any
thing on Valentine in the way of his
standing as a ring star.
1t is possible that while the Philadel-
phia bout did lot of good. it did VOL
CAST no particular harm. 1t must be
admitted by those who wish TO deal
fairly in such experiences that Wolgast
was out of the game a long time and
that his idleness was enforced. He had
a broken arm and in a way his bout
with Brown was a test Of his newly
mended wing" There is no claim that
wolgast loafed needlessly in the Phil
adelphia scrap; but If he did favor his
dickey arm who can blame him?
Puts 1t Up To AID.
Perhaps, with the experience to guide
him Ad. will be more devilish in his
next bout. In any event the outcome
Of the tilt with Brown has placed VOL
CAST in a position where he will have
to show that he is still entitled TO call
himself champion There is a faint
smudge on his escutcheon and he must
get in ard polish it. off by dint Of
hooks and uppercuts before he is many
months oldUr.
With Knockout Brown coming to the
front by leaps and bounds and with
great activity and consequent develop
ment in lightweight circles all over
the world, it is made patent that the
most important glove contests of the
near future will be confined to the d.
vision named
There are rising young lightweights
everywhere at present. New York has
them. Philadelphia has them, Chicago
has them and so has San Francisco.

Athletics Look Good.
In the American league the Athletics
look the best. They not only captured
the pennant and worlds championship
last year. but also walked off with
both batting and fielding honors. Their
pitching staff is the best in the coun-
try, including such stars as Coombs.
Bender, Plank, Morgan. Krause and
Russell, together with a large bunch
of likely youngsters.
But the Philadelphia team by no
means has the pennant stored away.
Manager Hugh Jennings is putting his
Tigers through a course Of sprouts. and
emphatically declares that his team
will come back" Hal Chase, the new
manager Of the Yankees. is also very
optimistic The Yangees made great
showing last year. and developed
number OF individual stars. including
Russell Ford, the young pitcher. Chase
has not lost any of his good men, and
his team will play prominent part in
the pennant race.
