MORRIS ENDURANCE AND
COURAGE uNQUESTIONEO

Tulsa, Okla, June 15.-The Morris
camp is all activity. Morris and his
sparring partners are hard at it every
afternoon for hours. Con Riley and
the rest OF them are showing him
everything they know right along and
they have put him on to some of the
kinks in the game which will show to
his advantage when he meets the
Pueblo hope" on the Fourth Norris

partment in which he was shy at the
first. He is mastering all of the
science of hit and get away which is
nine points of victory in the minds of
some of the best trainers in the coun-
try.
His endurance and his courage are
unquestioned He can go the route for
anw length of time and he can stand
the gaff when it comes down to that
And he doesn't sulk and get off his
pins when some of the boys land one

rest of them who have had to do with
Morris testify to his keeping of his
noodle under all circumstances and
in all situations and this makes an
other asset that the big fellow has got
which money cannot buy.
Morris goes right along undisturbed
by the stories which come from the
Flynn camp. He is not all credulous
and ther reports that Flynn has adam
doned active training and is here after
merely going to take a light course of
gymnasium exercises have not caused
him to change his program in the
slightest particle. He has carefully
mapped out just hom he is going to
win this contest and he is going to
carry out his lineup to the end of IT,
He is not overlooking any of the things
which could happen or may happen in
an affair of this sort He is practicing
around on every conceivable kind of
situation where he could get the
worst of it and figures the way out. Not
at all overconfident, he believes he will
be able to give good account of him.

chieftain on the day of independence.
Harry Wuest, who is in the Morris
training camp, says the big fellow
now has the speed of ghost and
that the gentleman who hits him will
have to have an intimate acquaintance
with streak of lightning. Wuest has
been with Morris for a long time and
has distinct recollection of an affair
in which he and Morris were the
principals and he knows what he is
talking about.
Orders for seats are still coming in.
Railroad men in the southwest are
enthused as they never were before
and they are organizing special trains
down in Texas and elsewhere, and
want from three hundred to four hum
dred seats in bunch. Individual or

These are being numbered and the
seats will be allotted according to the
numbers. 1t is confidently predicted
that more than fourteen thousand peo-
pie will be in the arena when the game
begins.

In a newspaper described some property in Camden county, Missouri, and an- lnounced that it was now the property of lZittle King and wife. The "affable'' also gave King note to the man supposed to
 be on the Missouri farm and money
 enough to get there, taking in exchange
 all of the King property. Here's the note: Please give this man possession of that land that he has a deed for and obige me ''
 That note was addressed to c. E.. Movies
 Although King can neither read nor write, he felt sure the note put everything into shape for him, so he and his wife started for their new farm
 'Go to Gagnell, Mo- King said. and that was all the closer we could get to Linn Creek the way we went on the train, so we had to walk 20 miles to Linn Creek Down there they didn't know anybody named Movies, they said; hadn't heard hide nor hair of him, and when we looked up the land We found It was owned by a Topeka bank and that there wasn't any house nor orchard nor anything else on it."

The origin of the roll" is mystery.
1t just grew. Since the adoption OF
athletic summer apparel there has
been a need for a method Of securing
the hose. This necessity is directly
responsible for the innovation. A trip
around Chicago disclosed several va
rieties. Those observed to date are:

boys. It is about three-quarters OF an

After she returned to st. Louis at
the beginning of the Civil war, she
soon found need to draw upon her

comfort. She married Edward B.

1t has been the forgetfulness of self,
the throwing oil of cares, which Mrs.
Hull attained through her making OF
verses, which has kept her. in her
opinion, young woman. although
nearly 20 years old. Her enthusiasms
are those of girl: for instance, when
she says: II love Tennyson; love
him." and she is equally youthful
when she exclaims: Il can't under.
stand Browning. and I'm free to admit
It." Her step is brisk. her face slight.

is animated, and her opinions are

age. She still keeps her youthful
preference for George Eliot, but has
