LAST WEEK PROVED
 "A VERY tViNTFUl
 ONE IN PJG.uSM

Last week, from a pugilistic stand point, was crowded with action. Abe Attell proved that he is undoubtedly the greatest boxer and ring general In the world today; Carl Morris, the Sapulpa Giant. showed that he is the and Sam Langford, yclept the Boston Tar Baby, albeit he originally halls from Nova Scotia, demonstrated that he is about the only man in creation just now who stands a chance with Jack Johnson.
 like Frankie Burns, who doesn't be- gin to class with him, but by the manner in which he did it, that Att tell proved his greatness. It was the manner in which Carl Morris, alias the white hope" disposed of Mike human beer barrel that proves Morris to be the best advertised man in the fight game today; for Morris Is known throughout the world of pugilism, and he has fought less than dozen battles" and one of which Sailor Burke could undoubtedly have won as handily. Langford empha- sized his ability as a fighter and box CT by giving the big, black idol of Paris Sam McVey, a trouncing in twenty rounds. But inasmuch as Mc- Ney IS really an idol in France, Lang ford undoubtedly thought it we'll to plant" him for return battle, with a shrewd foresight for the gate re- ceiptS that will undoubtedly accrue when they meet again.
 Too Much Nursing
 While it is an excellent thing to nurse" along any white hope'' that shows ability, it is we'll to wean that same hope" before he grows too ac- custcmed to soft marks. Morris branched out as hope" more than six months ago; that is, his advertis- ing campaign began about that time. and he has yet to meet even a good third-rate fighter.
 The result is that fight fans are beginning to look around for another to wear the title of white hope" and several Of these have sprung from the local boxing clubs.

Sacrificind the Woman.

That Carlyle could contemplate with equanimity being unpraised. unmoney ed and neglected all his life. that he required neither the worlds pudding nor its breath and could be happy without them. was pardonable and per haps commendable. That he shou expect another person to share this unmoneyed. puddingless and rather forlorn condition was scarcely con sistent with such lofty principles. Men may sacrifice themselves. if they please to imagined high duties and ambitions but they have no right to marry wives and sacrifice them.-Exchange.
