BURNS SAYS FIRST GOOD
man WILL BEAT JOHNSON

Winnipeg, Manitoba, March 81
Tommy Burns, light heavy weight
champion Of the fold, passed through
Winnipeg today and stopped off just
long enough to deliver a speech about
the stars of the ring game.
Tommy had this to say about famous
fighters, past and present.
Jack Johnson is a great fighter but
the next really good man he meets will
defeat him. OF that l am sure.
think Jack is going back fast. This
long rest will do him no good.
Sam Langford, though a much
smaller man, will have a great chance
to defeat Johnson if they meet because
the champion is taller and will not
force the fighting. Kaufman is not
strong enough TO cope successfully
with the champion"

TRIP TO COAST
DISAPPOINTING
PRESIDENT TAYLOR OF BOSTON
RED SOx SAYS NEVER AGAIN
RAIN INTERPRETERS
WITH WORK.

Detroit, March Eff you had fifty
eaters living off you at a good hotel.
and they paid their board only when
it didn't rain. it would make you kind
of mad if it rained all the time. That
is the position of John l. Taylor, owner
of the Boston base ball team, who is i'm
Detroit.
Instead of sending his team Of half
a hundred men south this year for
their early practice, he chose Califor-
mia. The cities out there are larger
and he figured that the practice games
in Los Angeles and san Francisco
would net him a nice round sum. In
the south the population is so sparse
that the spring games seldom pay ex-
penses.
when the team first got 10 the
coast it rained straight for 10 days.
They got neither practice or money
during all that time. When it did clear
up they played a few very profitable
games, but now its raining again. The
first team plays i'm Los Angeles and
the colts at San Francisco. | think
after this experience that / won't try
the coast again. The rain and the
heavy railroading on the way-its
nearly three times as far-have made
IL less profitable than southern trip.

100000 STADIUM FOR YALE.
Committee Authorized To Prepare
Plans for Structure.

New Haven. Conn, March 27.-That
Yale will have a 100000 stadium is
now practically assured by the APP
pointment Of a committee TO look into
the matter and report at the May
meeting Of the Yale corporation. II
was understood that no such commit
tee should be appointed until the cor
poration believed the plan feasible so
that there should be no holdup. The
fact that the change in the football
rules did not cause any decrease in the
attendance at the football games last
fall is given as the reason for the TAX
ing up of the plans.

Insurance and Hymen.

Grasse, a German authority on race
biology and life insurance, in recent
number of the Journal for Life In
surance Examiners, is of the opinion
that life insurance may be made to
play an important part in the proven
ton of the union in marriage of sick
ly or otherwise unsuitable individu-
ais. He holds that the public should
be educated to expect that every
prospective bridegroom and bride be
insured before marriage; if insurance
were denied to either one it should
be necessary to prove to the parents
Of the bride or bridegroom, as the
case might be, that the grounds for
the refusal of insurance were not
equally strong grounds against enter
ing into the married state. Grasse
says if this custom should become
universal life insurance would become
a great factor in the preservation of
the strength and health of the race.
Evidently Germany is doing some good
thinking in other lines than in merely
developing the commerce of the ma
tion, and has most practical way
of presenting the case in insurance as
well as in other lines. "The proper
study of mankind is man."

NO HANDCUFFS IN FRANCE
Some Ingenious Methods by Which
the Police There Keep Prisoners
From Escaping.

Scarcely a day passes without a
picture appearing in the French press
of prisoner being led off to the sta
ton by policeman and the descrip-
ton, "The Apache being taken away
handcuffed by the agents" AS a mat
| ter of fact handouts are altogether
out of date in France and are never
used.
Instead Of the bracelets every po-
liceman carries a "cabriolet," which
is very rough and massively made
article resembling a huge watch
chain some ten inches long with
stout wooden crossbar at either end.
An expert can slip this over the
wrist of an offender in a twinkling
and with both the crossbars in his
hand has only to give it twist to
infiict the most excruciating pain
and compel instant and lamblike SUBJ
mission.
Another common method of pre-
venting escape is to make the pris-
oner place both his hands in his side
trouser pockets and then pass
string round his wrists and round his
waist and bid him march. He can
walk at a very smart pace, but any
attempt to run out of a stumbling
trot Immediately brings him down,
nose to the pavement.
If no string is handy all the brace
buttons of the trousers are cut off
and the culprit is made again to put
his hands in his pockets. AS in the
former case, he can only walk, since
so soon as he frees his hands his
neither garments fall about his legs
and he is "entrave" in the latest
fashion.
Few Of these devices are apparent
to the casual passerby, who often
wonders at the passive docility with
which some villainous looking indi-
vidual under arrest follows his captor
to the station. Sometimes on a coun-
try road one may meet a couple of
gendarmes on foot or on horseback,
leading a prisoner between them.
This is in obedience to a quaint
regulation whereby prisoners are
never sent by train from place to
place, as there are no funds set apart
for railway fares. Consequently four
or five times as much is spent in
food, drink and lodging for the escort
as would be for the ticket; but the
regulations are observed. In such
cases the police often use the
"poucettes," though strictly speaking
this instrument is not legal.
1t is a sort of loose thumbscrew
which is fixed so as to keep the two
thumbs comfortably together so long
as the man does not struggle, but
twist of the string held by one Of
the police is enough to destroy any
wish to escape.-London Standard.

FREEING THE SLAVE
OLD JOE DIDN'T TAKE 1T IN THE
ORTHODOX MANNER.
Instead of Weeping and Begging to
Stay, He Gave Out Yell, Ran Away
and Never Was Heard of
Again.

All present had heard, ever so many
times, those good old stories Of how
the slave of ante-bellum times, when
told that he was free-"Yes, free,
Scipio"-had thrown himself, sobbing,
at his masters feet, and begged, with
tears in his eyes, that he be not sent
away-that he be allowed to serve the
family in any capacity until the end
of his days. Therefore all present
looked wise and resigned when the
southerner launched on his story.
Down at our old home in the
south" he said, there was an old ne
gro called Joe who had been on the
place as far back as any of us could
remember. In fact, so long had he
been there that he had grown to be
just like member of the family.
We children included him in all our
games and treated him exactly as we
would any other playmate, while his
long years of service had earned him
every sort of special consideration
from the grown folks.
$50 meritorious was Joe that my
father decided one day to make him a
free man. He went about the neces-
sary formalities quietly, and, when
all was ready, resolved to give the
thing a dramatic setting.
$50 he called the family together,
likewise his slaves, and when they
were all there, grouped impressively
about him, he summoned Joe.
"The faithful old slave appeared.
joe said my father solemnly, you
have served us long and well. We
have great affection for you
1--WE all beamed approval. Joe's
face grew puzzled.
81 feel that we should show that
affection in some substantial way
continued my father. Then, after a
short pause, he said:
"'Joe, you are free man.
"Joe did not seem to understand.
He looked at my father and then at
the rest of us in bewildered way.
'mop99IJ InoG noG 9AIS I COZ,
You are no longer a slave. am no
longer your MASTER said my father.
"The slaves face began to clear.
"'Free?' he queried.
eyes,. said my father.
For one moment Joe stood there.
Then"
In his turn, the southerner made a
dramatic pause, even as his father had
done before him. His auditors were
listening, bored but polite.
"Then," he continued, "that negro
gave one ungodly Yell, swung his cap
about his head, and without SO much
as saying 'goodby' dashed out of the
house as fast as his legs could carry
him. We never so much as heard of
him again."

CAN'T BAR ALL THE DIVORCED
Monarchs of Great Britain and RUS
sia Find They Must Modify
Their Ideas.

Queen Mary on her husbands ac-
known that she intended to revive
the rules and regulations of Queen
Victoria. She even went a step fur
Their, says the Metropolitan, and i'm
timated that the men concerned In
divorce cases, as respondents or an
correspondents, would be regarded
with disfavor in the highest quarters.
Queen Victoria never visited her
displeasures on the men implicated In
divorce cases, save in the solitary fn-
stance of Sir Charles Dixie. Indeed
several of her most famous and most
trusted ministers, such as, for in
stance, Lord Melbourne, Lord Palmer
ston and the now octogenarian Lord
LANDAU, were mixed up in all sorts
of divorce cases, without ever forfeit
ing either their Office or her good
will.
Both King George and Queen
Mary, however, found that it was
quite impossible to put their avowed
intentions into practice. They could
not exclude divorced women from
their court unless they barred there-
from the kings own first cousins,
Grand Duchess Cyril of Russia and
Princess Louise of Schleswig- Hol5
stein, as well as host of other royal
and imperial foreign personageS
more or less closely related to them
by ties Of blood.
In Russia divorce was condemned
formerly both by the court and by sos
ciety. Moreover, it was extremely
difficult to accomplish, being granted
only on the grounds which would
suffice to secure a decree of nullity
from English and American tribunals,
or else for infidelity. But in the lat
ter case the legal conditions were ex-
acting and the cost Of suit so ex-
pensive that demands for the dissolu-
ton of marriage ties were few and
far between.
Now, however, the situation has
entirely changed. Divorces have be-
come frequent in Russian society, and
despite the objections Of the em-
peror and of his Hessian born but
English bred consort, the court has
had to open its doors. Thus the wife
of General Soukhomlinov, the min
lister of war, one of the most popular
figures at the court of ST. Petersburg
and in the great world on the banks
of the Neva, was first married to M.
de Butewitch, with whom her union
was legally and enthusiastically sew.
cred in 1909.
Countess White, wife of the former
premier who represented Russia at
the peace conference at Portsmouth,
N. H., in 1905, and who is~.still a
minister Of state, is also divorcee
and is received at court. Moreover,
there are a number of divorces in the
imperial family ITSELF something
wholly unknown until the. present
reign.

Questioner Eloored.

One of the members of the school
committee undertook to sharpen UP
the wits Of the boys by propounding
the following question:
IF | had mince pie and should
give two-twelfths to John, two-twelfths
to Isaac, two-twelfths to Harry, and
should keep half the pie for myself,
what would there be left?"
There was a profound study among
the boys, but finally one lad held up
his hand as signal that he was
ready to answer.
well, sir, what would there be
left? Speak up loud so that all can
hear" said the committee man.
"The plate" shouted the hopeful
fellow.
The committee man turned red in
the face, while the other members
roared aloud.
