Pugilist Won in Congress

AolH tue W NdSiliHSiou fOSt.
 So John L. Sullivan, former champion heavyweight pugilist of the world is talking about running for Congress, :" smilingly remarked John W. Krey, a Boston sporting man, at the Willard Well il may be that fl John L. should decide to enter politics he would be sue cessful, but l doubt it. Sullivan Is all right, and in his heyday of success was a prime favorite in Boston, but no one ever considered him of the caliber that would qualify him for political honors.
 T think I should like to see John L. in Congress. He wouldn't be the first ring man whose voice has been heard there. John Morrissey was twice elected to represent New York district Nor rssey was even greater man in the ifs tic arena than Sullivan. and he was man who. when he was given greater hOnors than could ever be gained in tho prize ring, was capable of conducting him. self in manner that reflected credit up- on him and the profession he had fol- lowed
 John MOrrissey was probably the great est American prize fighter who ever step ped into a ring. After he retired from the fistic worl1 he showed himself a man of more than ordinary ability, his strong, points consisting of manly candor and SoOu tOfllllpn SenSt. w lGn II was 1lrSt suggested to him that he run for Congress he declined with becoming modesty, as John L. Is reported to have done He had no idea of becoming a candidate fer Congress, he said. but when the news papers mentioned him, so much was said against him that his fighting blood was aroused and he determined to enter .he contest
 Notwithstanding the opposition of the papers, Morrfssey was nominated and elected by big majority. After his non,- inaton many of his friends went to him and advised him to close up his drinking saloon and gambling house and to aban- Gon all business of that character. His re- ply was characteristic.
 " I must be taken as I am or not all. he said. He was chosen again by an overwhelming majority. While in Con gress Morrssey was not conspicuous in debate, but he conducted himself in :, modest and dignified manner. and he did not give his constituents any cause for reSretting that they had elected him,
 'To my mind. Morrissey resembled in many respects the erstwhle champion John l.. His most notable fight was his contest with John C. Heenan. the "Beni- cia Boy who came over from England It was one of the most fercely contested battles in the history of the ring Mor- rissey won in the 11th round, but not until Heenan had administered the most severe punishment that Morrissev had ever had"

Finding a Home

For every life d cat has there seems a way to find the animal a good home. One of the ways was sprung on a policeman who patrolled Ninety-seyenth street the other morning at daybreak. In a base ment area he noticed a tightly sealed 1Fil- low basket bobbing up and down. appar- ently of it's own volition, in front of a basement door.
 Baby grunted the policeman, al though even he could not see how a baby small enough to go into the basket could cause such violent commotion. Cautiously he raised the corner of the lid and saw not d baby, but cat Accompanying the cat was a note.
 Please give Ethelbert a good home. He is fine mouser. We are leaving town and cannot take him.
 The policeman aroused the cook. Pres ently the whole family appeared. It's up to you said the officer "Ethelbert is a fine locker and he behaves like gentleman. Do you want him?"

The Crimson defense, however, proved impregnable, the visitors not reg istering a first down during the game Both teams stuck to the old fashioned play. although one or two long end runs featured the play.
 Harvard suffered heavily in penalties, 60 yards being the total of the distance they were set back. Williams suffered a loss of 20 yards in like manner. Har- yards first score came in the third pe- riod. Whiteman had returned Felton S punt to midfield, Callender running the ball to Amherst's line, where he was dumped. Wendell failed to gain and on the next play Reynolds shot through Baumann. The big halfback zigzagged down the field, his tacklers loundering hopelessly about him, and landed be- hind Amhersts goal line.

 Another drink unknown to the general uppler Is favorite among irons tone workers. It is a natural product of very curious kind. In the best sort of such stone are found hollow pieces, inside of which is about a pint of mush, A cold liquor with a sweet sharp taste, and either red or white in color Stranger. seldom want more than one sip of hush. but the workmen quaff it with aVldity
 There are, too, many kinds of alcoholic products which are rarely if ever tasted outside particular trades. Methylatetl spirit is drunk not only by furniture pol ishers. but by matters and others who uss 1t in their work, and 1t seems impossible to make 1t so vile that they cannot swal- low it.
 A man engaged in one of the shops of London warehouse was found to be drinking considerable quantities of .n.- thylated spirit, whereupon the remainder of the stock was dosed with that noisoue. drug asafoetida, which. 1t was thought. would make the stuff undrinkaDle. But the spirit actually disappeared faster than ever.
 In the same way some of the alcohol used in scent works is drunk by those who have the handling of 1t, and some men engaged at drug warehouses get into the dangerous habit of taking ''nfps" of es- sences and the like.
