PRESIDENT JAcKsoN's REToRr.


The Irish-American humorist did
not appear in literature before the
fine of the civil war, though when
the occasion called for remark that
you'd outlast more pompous ex-
yressions he generally said some-
thing that enriched the language. 1t
was the son Of an Irishman, Presi-
dent Andrew Jackson, who, when
his secretary Of state, Van Buren,,
proffeied him unasked advice as to
how the president should receive
visiting foreign nobleman, replied,
paternally:
Evan, / once knew man in Ten
nessee who made his everlasting for.
tune by minding his own business.
The humor here is not very subtle
but the speech was intended rather
to be effective than amusing.-Tht

PROPHECIES OF Rlo HeN.

Big Ben has been stopped three
times by snow freezing on the hands
and jamming them. A curious epi-
sode in its history took place in De
oember, 1851, just before the prince
consort died, when, owing TO the
fsilare of an experimental piece OF
apparatus, the clock struck q hun
drcd or more strokes without stop
ping. People who were unaware OF
the cause saw in the occurrence an
omen OF the great loss which shortly
afterward befell the nation. Another
sensational prank was played by the
clock on April 9, 1885, when 1t
stopped while Mr.. Gladstone waa
making his famous speech in favor
of home rule for Ireland. This was
taken by some as an augury that the
bill would not pass, and as regards
the event the prophets were justified

Fight GAME IS BOOMING

Less than a year ago, or just
after the memorabl lettrirs
Johnson joke at Reno, to he exact
there was tremendous sentiment
in this country against prize fight
ing. The unexpected and exceed
ingly unpopular victory Of the
black man over the 'iavincible
left left such a bad taste in the
pubic mouth that not only were
boxing bouts tabooed almost all
over the whole land, but fight
pictures were barre d, and even the
magazines and newspapers in some
states were forbidden to publish
pictures or accounts of fights. 1t
was freely predicted that the box
ing game would be dead inside a
year,
Is it dead? Well, it may be.
But if it is, it's about the liveli-
est corpse we've ever seen. Things
certai My were dark for the 'pugs'
for a time-a very short time.
But within a few weeks after the
Reno affair the fight pictures were
being shown in most Of the cities
that had barred them, then the
fight lid was gently tilted, raised
still higher, abruptly cast off

Wanted Baseball Manager.

The approach of warm weather
is reviving base ball talk, and there
is a good chance that Jasper may
be represented on the diamond
this summer. The only great diff
fculty to be overcome is the find
ing of a manager 1t was the
same way last year. The material
for a good team was on hand. and
the fans signed up guarantee to
finance the team, but nobody
could be found who was willing
to take the managership. Does
anybody know of an able-bodied
citizen with plenty of spare time
on his hands who is willing to un-
dertake the job of managing the
Jasper champions of 1911? If so,
produce him and he can probably
get the job
No need to worry about the per-
sonncl of the team. Jasper can
always teach any of her neighbors
few things about base ball.
There are several newcomers here
who are said to be sharks at the
great national pashme, and there
are also a lot of old timers, veter-
ans of the invincibles Of 1908 and
1909, who fondle the delusion that
they can come back. There isn't
single pitcher in town, but Jas
per has never had pitcher since
the days Of Iron Man J. Rossman
Dodd. Bob Thompson at Lamar
or Frank Brydges at Carthage
would probably be glad to play
with a Jasper team again. They
are good enough to beat most any
team in this neck of the woods.
