BOXING NOTES.

Paul Koehler and frankie Madden have
been rematched and will box ten-round
bout at Lorain. O.. Feb. G.
Mike Men.sic and Leonard Lauder will
meet at Los Angeles next Saturday night
Memsic replaces Johnny Frayne.
The Kansas City promoters are trying
to bring together Paekey Mcfarland and
the original Kid Farmer for ten-round
bout.
Mike Glover of South Boston will
meet Jack Sullivan at Pittsburg Sat
urday night, Glover taking the place
of Young Loughrey who is unable to
appear.
Johnny Frayne has raised a bcautl-
full carbuncle on the back of his neck
and his match at Los Angeles Sa!ur-
day night interests him no more.
Frank Moran, Pttsburg heavy
weight. knocked out Jack Reynolds
of Brooklyn, in the fourth round of a
bout at Browns gymnasium at New
York. Tuesday night
1t is not expected that Joe Coster. who
was to have appeared in one of the all
star bouts arranged by the American
Club of Philadelphia, will be able to meet
Tommy O'Toole. A bout with frankie
Burns, who met Digger Stanley recently,
and some other good boy will take the
place of the O'Toole-Co match.
Young Erne Is not satisfied that
Packy Mcfarland can beat him, and
says he will bet $50 that the stock
yards champion can't do II again and
will box for nothing into the bargain.
But Just let Mcfarland accept that
proposition and see Erne throw on the
reverse gear.
Barry HILL who has been doing some
fine work since he broke away from
the amateur ranks won another bout
Tuesday night ut the Olympic Athletic
Club. He defeated Artie McGoVern,
another 10y who just graduated from
the amateurs. Both boys went along
like two sparrows. and the members
of the Harlem Club enjoyed the bout
as it was filed with action all the
way. Hill and McGovern went. on as
bantamweights. but they looked to be
paperweights.
Pal Moore and Matty Baldwin will be
the feature performers in the star bout
at the Armory A. A. next Tuesday night
The matchmaker tried hard to land Dig
ger Stanley and Jimmy Walsh, but 1t was
impossible to arrange this match at such
short notice The Moore-Baldwin bout
will take the place of the Abe Atteh-
Pal Moore bout, which was postponed for
three reasons. first because Moore
sprained his ankle, second because Atteil
broke his arm or shoulder or somethlns'
and third because Attell was under con-
tract to box at Philadelphia. the night
after he was to appear here, and there
was a clause in the articles, forbidding
his engaging in any other bout In the
notwithstanding to Jack O'Brien But
Attell boxed at Cleveland Tuesday night
and broke his arm, contract or no con-
tract The Baldwin bout is likely
to prove a better show. Attell hash
been overtaxing himself In his recent
bouts He was never wholly satisiac-
tory performer at best, and mas never
shown the best he had In any bout III
which he has engaged In Boston

ours to us as an object Of criticism.
1t will prove an interesting experiment
and will help another while we help
ourselves.
There is nothing more disastrous in
the way Of mental processes than dwell
ing on the ugly, painful and dlsagreeable
side OF life. 1t is not only waste of
time and energy, but II is a criminal
waste of these precious things.
1t does no good, and il does great
harm.
There are occasions and situations
where the dark and painful and disagree
able things of life must be mentioned;
must be recognized. that they may be
changed.
The child who falls in tho dirt of the
street must be recognized as a soiled
child. needing to be washed and clothed
in fresh garments. 1t would be folly to
smile and say; Run along, child; you
are clean" The child might not reeog'
nize it's own need Of q bath, but others
would recognize it without making the
changes necessary to it's best well being.
But it would be an even greater folly
to sit for days and weeks dwelling in
thought on the accident which had be-
fallen the child, and trying to obtain data
of other similar accidents TO other chill
dren, forgetting all the beautiful throngs
of clean. SWEET children swarming over
the earth.
That is precisely what thousands Of
intelligent human beings are doing with
their minds and voices.
| They are emphazing the faults. follles
I and misdeeds of the people they know.
especially the people they dislike, and
they are ignoring the lovely things which
exist all around US everywhere. They
are doing nothing to lessen or change the
evils they deplore, but are preparing
! their own natures to develop the same
traits by continually talking of them.
If you know some one you dislike very
much. begin today and look for some
praiseworthy quality ia that person to
! think about and to talk about.
1t will prove an excellent disinfectant
for your mini. instead CT inviting the
| contagion of the unpleasant things you
find in another by thinking and talking
of them,
Pass as lightly and rapidly as possible
over the ugly and disagreable traits of
human nature.
Accent the Agreeable unc worthy.
Say some good thing every day about
some one you do not like.

our natures some portion of those dlsa-
greable traits and qualities which oc-
cupy our minds.
We become, to greater or less degree,
like the things Of which we think and
talk.
If, therefore, you thing and talk a
great deal about the faults and failings
of your friends Cor your enemies), you
are grating a branch of poison Ivy on
the vine of your own heart.
This is a scientific fact.
Every thought has its effect on our
natures. just as every moment spent in
practise of music or painting is forming
our habits in those arts.
The art of character building is the
greatest and most important art and
profession in life, so it is q matter of
serious moment how We do this work.
No one of us finds it possible, to like
every person we meet. There are people
so unlovable, 50 aggressive, so I'M
pleasant to encounter, that one would be
made of stone who did not recognize
their repellent traits.
Yet were we to set about looking for
some agreeable quality In those an
tagonlsuc personalities we would find
them.
This, then. should be our work.
The moment we encounter a disagree
able or even an unattractive individual,
II we have time to give that person any
thought at all, let us turn the mind
toward a path OF exploration and seek
for something worth praising.
And finding It, let us speak OF It.
