MAKES THE LIMIT.
Mcfarland had agreed to make
I135 pounds yesterday afternoon at
o'clock To convince the fight fol-
lowers that he was capable of reach
ing the lightweight limit of 1873
pounds. he weighed in at few
ounces over this mark.
The much-mooted question wheth-
er the Chicago boy is possessed Of
the knockout blow was not settled
last night, but few of the spectators
were willing TO say after this battle
that he is not strong. With rights
and lefts, delivered from many
angles, he continually rocked the
Pacific coast fighters head. At least
three times during the fight, in the
third. fourth and fifth rounds, the
gong saved Mccarthy.

There is something about the Three

Boulevard" act which compels laugh
ter whether the spectator feels much
like laughing or not. Grown up PEG

spot and makes them all laugh just the
same and they come 10 the theatre
time and again TO see it. There are
two prop" automobiles on the stage
which resembles a boulevard at night
the setting being very good. These
two machines. a little dog trailing
along behind and some other funny
things combine to produce one big
laugh all through the act. 1t makes
the children laugh, and that means it
has TO be funny. The Three McDon-

This was the first but cherries
news received by his mother in let
ter from Policeman W. H. Roberts, of
the Sixty-fifth street and Woodland
Avenue Station, who disappeared on
September first and was only heard
from when the letter arrived yester-
day.
The man makes an appeal in his
letter for an effort TO be made to re-
lease him from his enforced servitude
on the oyster boat and says that he
will wait until Sunday and if he is not
rescued he will make a break for lib
erty if it costs him his life.
The enslaved policeman's brother-in-
law, E. w. Good, telegraphed Attorney
General Wickersham at Washington
soon after he received the letter and
forwarded the letter and all other in
formation for the use of the United
States authorities in finding the miss
ing man.

SPUDS DON'T MAKE
CHINK GROW; HE QUITS

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. IS. = Pan
Sung Wong, of Shanghai, China, stu
dent at the University of Pennsylvania,
wanted to be tall like some of the big
American youths, who win the hearts
of the fair ones while playing foot
ball on Franklin Field. So Wong be-
gan to eat potatoes, creamed pota-
toes, baked potatoes, Drowned
potatoes, fried potatoes; always po-
tatoes. He thought they would make
him grow. Miss Mary Adams the ma
tron, who has charge of Bodine
House at the University of Pennsyl-
vania dormitories, where Wong rooms,
told the Chinaman SO and he believed
her. When Wong started on the potato
diet two weeks ago, he was five feet
three inches tall Now he is the same
height and he has stopped eating po-
tatoes. My, but he hates them now.
He never wants to see sight OF
French fried again.
Wong is some sport. He dresses in
the very latest and carries cane and
smokes cigarettes and does every
thing any of the live ones among the

natives do. He walks on Chestnut
street, likes the ladies', the shows, the
cafes, the taXi-cabs and the bright
lights He wanted to be little taller
so his American rivals wouldn't have
anything on him.
Miss Adams, who is one of the old
est, in service, of any of the matrOns
who have charge of the dormitOries
and knows all about the boys, knew
that Wo-lg wanted to grow tall. She
told him to eat potatoes.
When the young Chinaman used to
go to a we'll known college restaurant
for his meals; the waiter would say:
How will you have your potatoes to-
day?" Then Wong would think the
possibilities over and yell back, make
'em boiled" Wong had supreme faith
in the potatoes.
In Wongs room is tape measure
that has been used much of late. Up
against the door is a pencil mark
at the five feet, three inches distance.
Every night Wong used to back up
against the wall and measure. The
he has taken lately have
caused him to lose faith in potatoes.

TOMATO CROP
WAS A WONDER

Dewitt Brothers, who are farming
pine land six miles northeast of Mos
cow on the footholls of Moscow noun
tain, this year planted little bet
ter than three acres to tomatoes.
For several months they have been
marketing their crop in Moscow, get
ting forty cents a box for their best
ones, with from twenty-five to thirty
cents for the poorer grades, includ-
ing the green ones sold for picking.
One point worth mentioning in this
connection is that their vines were
not touched by the frost till last night,
October II, and yesterday they had
marketed 1900 boxes, at an average
of thirty cents per box. This is $3.50,
fairly good return, it must be ad-
mitted, and good interest on a higher
valuation than anything dreamed for
Latah county soil. But remember that
this crop of tomatoes was produced
on $50 land, soil that was cleared of
pine timber, stumps and thick under
brush, that today, in the raw state, is
selling for under forty per acre.

POI ICFMAN SHANGHAIED
AND TAKEN TO SEA

In the letter Roberts says that he
had persuaded a colored boy who
came on the oyster boat to get him
writing material and had him mail
the letter hoping that it would not be
intercepted by his captors. The let
ter was badly written and carried only
a one-cent stamp.
Roberts was strong, and well-built
man and it is thought that he was
singled out by oystermen for his
strength to endure che hard work on
an oyster boat. In his letter Roberts
says that he has seen several revenue
cutters passing by, but was unable to
make his predicament known.
Roberts, who was mounted police
man, was thrown from his horse last
summer and received injuries that are
thought to have made him act
strangely On August 81 he was given
time off to recuperate and on Septem-
Der /, after receiving his pay, he left
his home as though he would return
in a short time. Until the receipt of
the letter yesterday his wife has been
