TEST OF DIETS TO Be
MADE ON RACE TRACK
MEAT EATER AND A VEGETA-
RIAN IN A CONTEST.
The Sprint That Is Attracting Atten.
ton of Two Continents; Digger
Stanley and Young Dyson Are to
Box Tonight Before the Rhode
Island Athletic Club; Abe Atteps
Birthday.
Especial to The Free Press. J

New York, February "a sport
ing event of international interest
will be staged in the Seventy-first
Regiment armory tonight, when Hans
HOlmer and Gusta LjungstrOm, the
Swedish runner, will come together
in twenty-mile race. Aside from
the fact that tonights race will set
tie the mooted question of suprem-
acy between two of the fastest dis
lance runners in the world, the cou-
test gains added interest by supply
ing a test between a meat eater and
vegetarian. LjuDgstrom is said to
eat only vegetable foods while in
training for race, and holds that
such diet is best for the athlete
Homer eats meat, although he, too,
is almost a vegetarian, as he depends
largely on beans to supply the
strength and endurance necessary to
long grind.
Digger Stanley to Box.
Providence, r. l., February o.
Digger Stanley, the bantam champion
of England, and Young Dyson of
Providence, who has recently been
going like champion, will box fif-
teen rounds at the Rhode Island Ath-
letic club at Thornton tonight A
big crowd of sports from Providence,
Boston and other cities will witness
the contest. 1t now seems probable
that the match arranged between
Stanley and Jimmy Walsh, to be
held at the Armory Athletic club in
Boston next Tuesday, will fall
through. Stanley has announced that
he will not box Walsh on the terms
originally agreed upon. Eddie Keo-
yer, Walsh's manager, declares that
the Englishman is afraid of his man
and is crawling out of the match
Keevin says that he will even go SO
far as to let Stanley's manager be
the third man in the ring

THE LUMBER MARKET.

Meridian, Miss, Sept. 20.-The shut
ting down of SO saw-mills in Texas
and Louisiana, which number. it is
feared will be increased soon unless
there is a decided change in the dis
pute between the mill owners and the
timber workers brotherhood, has had
the effect of causing slight increase
in the price of nearly all classes of
lumber in this section.
This is particularly true of yard
stock, framing and building material,
which the mills that are closed down
manufacture almost exclusively. Car
material and pole stock have not been
materially affected as yet owing to the
fact that very little of this class of
lumber is produced by the mills west
of the Missippi river.
With stock running low at the man.
ufacturies, the possibility that the en-
tire available supply of timber at the
mills may be exhausted soon, with the
market livelier than at any other time
for years. There is also a tendency
for prices on this class of material to
go higher.
A prominent lumDerman of this city
stated that he did not remember when
more lumber for this season of the
years was being sent through Meri.
dian to the outside markets than at
present. He stated that the planning
mills which cater to custom dressing
are taxed to their capacity to take
care of the shipments sent here to
be worked. A number of the mills
are running night and day in an en-
deavor to handle the increased bust
ness.
| The lumber market has been in al
unsettled condition for the past sew
eral months. fuctuating at times con
siderably and never holding a gooC
price long at time. 1t is believed
that, although a shutting down of tbs
mills may mean considerable loss tC
those involved it will result in a gen
eral betterment of the lumber market

MY RAG DOLL,

by John l.. Hobble)
When | was a just a little girl
And played with childish toys,
Ny parents bought me everything
A little girl enjoys;
| had stove and books and chart,
Some skates, pony, and a cart;
But what loved the best of all
Was my rag doll.
Whenever | went out to walk,
Or run and have a play,
Or take my basket to the woods,
To spend summers day,
| always took my doll with me,
And there we played beneath a tree;
1t would have been no fun at all
Without my doll.
And when the day was growing dark,
AS it was coming night,
And they had tucked us both in bed,
And when it was too dark to see,
| felt hat she protected me,
And so | wasn't scared at all.
With my rag doll.
