KNOCKS OUT A MILLIONAIRE
Murphy, "Pride of Harlem" Uses Bes:
Punch to Win Wine Supper
From Wilett Pierce.

Tommy Murphy demonstrated the
other afternoon that he has knock
out punch, and as a result one of the
most prominent men in F'ishkill, N
Y, acted as host at a wine supper in
New York.
Willett Pierce, who is rated as q
millionaire in the town, and who
spends most of his time exhibiting
his prize stock at county fairs, was
the recipient of the knockout, and
was also the hos Pierce, who is q
former football star, announced after
seeing Murphy train that he did not
believe amy little fellow like that
could knock out full-grown man, :"
and offered to bet suppers with Fran
Carey. business man. Told of the
bet, Murphy said: Leave it to me"
The pair squared off. Pierce lunged
at Tommy, but the latter sidestepped
him and avoided his rushes until
Pierce was completely tagged out. He
was allowed a two-minute rest, and
the bout proceeded. Murphy tented
a few times and then, getting Pierce's
guard high, sank terrific right
handler into the stomach. Pierce
promptly sat on the floor.

Beauty Treatments.

BILL" Snyder, the famous head
keeper of the New York Zoo, was de-
scribing to reporter the 2O-gallon
oil baths that he gave the elephants
in the autumn, when the harsh beasts
begin to chap their hides.
'These oil baths improve the ele-
plants looks" he said. THE ele-
plants know it, too. The females es-
pecially know it. They take to these
beauty treatments the same as
women"
The head keeper chuckled sardon-
ically.
Women, though, go step too far, .
he said "a young man from the lion
house told me that at ball the other
night he said to his hostess:
Who is that pretty little blonde
eating lobster salad, ma'am?'
"'Why, don't you know her?' his
hostess cried. She's the pretty little
brunette you flirted with last week! "

cruel whip down wickedly, and stung
with the surprise and shame of it,
Peaches leaped forward-yes, she

There is a bedlam of huzzas in the
stands, and when the sobbing Spuds
was dragged from his saddle to be
seated in triumph in the floral horse
shoe, a shout went up such as must
have startled the nervous clouds.
Peaches won.

from the excitement, and if there were
