ABBEY ATTENDANTS
BAR JACK JOHNSON
Pugilist Rigs Himself Out In Lavish
Style, But Gets Only Peep Into
Westminster.

LONDON, June 22.--Jack Johnson,
champion pugilrst of the world. met
with a clean Knockout today At the
entrance to the Abbey. Lord Ions
dale, one of England's best known
sporting men and a friend OF John
son, gave Johnson two tickets that
johnson understood were good for the
Abbey.
Accompanied by his white wife and
rugged out until George in his corona
ton robes had little on him, Johnson
presented himself at the Abbey but
got no farther than the door, where a
husky bunch OF attendants decided
that his credentials were shy several
points. Johnson peeped a little but
soon found that he was up against the
real British article Of stubbornness.
Johnson and his wife then went to
the nearest reviewing stand. where
their tickets were recognized.

Today. the Tiges are just two and

for they lost ground yesterday, despite
their victory. The Athletics got busy
at the expense OF the meek and lowly

WALTER FARMER
ENTHUSIASTIC.
Secretary of Windsor Track Says
Canadian Circuit Was Never So
Good As Now.

Secretary Walter o. Farmer, of the
Windsor Fair Grounds and Driving
Park association, dropped into town
this morning from Hamilton where he
has been viewing the races at that
point during the last few days Mr..
Farmer, after attending to details
connected with the racing at Windsor
which begin July 10, next, left for
his farm at Edenwold, Tenn, where
he will stay until the latter part of
next week.
This or any other country never
saw any better racing than is being
afforded the patrons Of the Canadian
circuit this season." said Mr.. Farmer.
II have never seen any better on any
track and ] guess have visited every
race course In this country and Can
ada.
THE class OF horses coming to
Windsor next month insures higher
class racing than was ever before
seen at that track. The Frontier
handicap will resemble Sub
urban handicap more than any race
contested on any track other than
Sbeepshead Bay. And Il has been
many years when the track at the
bay had an event with as many valu-
able horses entered as have been
named for the Frontier.
With a field of starters to be
chosen from the many notable eligi-
bles, the race cannot fail to attract
interest everywhere the thoroughbred
is known. What a lot there will be
to conjure with in Fftz Herbert, Pris-
Gillian. Restigouche, Meridian, Gov.
Gray, Whist, Flint Rock. The Niger,

Catcher Wilson, OF the Bowdoin col

hustled out to morning practice. II Is
understood that, between Wilson and
Schmidt, II Is matter OF survival OF

Jennings can make a decision. The
odds favor the collegian very strongly.

far as his throwing apparatus is con-

It. is rumored that Detroit has al
ready asked waivers on the veteran
German who has caught such good ball
for the Tigers for SO many seasons.
Wilson was the most sought-after
college catcher in the country and will,
It Is believed, prove himself a fixture
in big league ball.

THE SUBLIME FAITH MEN

OF THE LOVE OF WOMAN
Is Thing that Women Fail to Understand Love Is

THE thing that puzzles me most about
men is the sublime faith they have in the
imperishability Of q woman's affection,
said the fourth woman.
II don't know Just how men figure out
q woman's love. but it is something alb
normal that is a cross between the cat
that always came back and porous
plaster that you can't shake and that
sticks to you in spite Of everything.
Heaven only knows why men cherish
this belief that a woman's love Is
thing that you can't lose. for they have
plenty Of evidence to the contrary; out
It's a catastrophe that no man ever even
dreams Of happening to himself. He
simply can't conceive Of any woman who
has once loved him ceasing to love him,
no matter how he treated her or what
sort Of brute he developed into.
As for q woman getting disenchanted.
dlsgusted with him. and finding him re-
pulsive instead of adorable. that's a flight
Of Imagination beyond his powers Of
fancy.
"A man realizes that to win woman
in the first place he has to exert himself
and. during the time Of courtship. he Is
full of anxiety and bends every effort to
please her. He takes the trouble to
study her and to find out what she likes
and enjoys and which are her weak spots
at which she is most easily susceptible
to the jolly.

His plan works, he wins the maiden's
heart and in due time they are married.

she can't help loving him to save her

assembled members Of the Brotherhood

ever, there was no sound or movement
Of any kind. and the silence was so in
tense that 1t strged and beat upon me
In great waves, till I instinctively put
out my hand to touch some one or some
thing. Soon I became accustomed to
the throbbing stiffness. The fierce beat

calmly for commands that I knew would

message from the Master. whose will

command: Forward I started at a run.

foliage, through the branches of which

came upon another path cutting sharply
across my own. My heart leaped with
JOY. I paused in my flight, looked visit
fully to right and left, wondering which
to take. when through my con-
sciousness thundered:
forward! Not for thee are pleasant
