"REMINISCENCES OF
PETER JACKSONS BRIGHT CAREER

Peter Jackson is too recent an indi-
yiduality in the world of pugilism to
need an extended sketch of his ca.
reer. knew him well and at one time
had the temerity to smack his face.
Needless to say, it was not resented.
This is a story against myself and !
think his pity at my stupidity was bet
ter cause to bring one to his senses
than anything else
Poor Jackson, however ones ideas
concerning color may be Influenced by
residence in this country, was a real
colored gentleman" as well behaved,
suave and interesting as ever man
knew how to be. Considering some OF
his earlier environment, it was simply
wonderful In his declining days. after
he had given up fighting, Jackson
made his club" at a certain bar in
Great Portland street. London, where
he would sit for hours slipping small
glasses of liquor brandy and meeting
one or the other whom he knew and
seemed to expect He disliked the duh
skies of London, when he first went to
England's metropolis, but he got to
like it: i'm fact, love it. He would in
Quire into its history, show quite an
intelligence concerning its antiquities,
but was more concerned than any
thing in the number of friends he
made.

BEST WAY TO GET GOOD REST.

BEST WAY TO GET GOOD REST
Too much is preached about exer
cising, and too little about resting
Few women know the value of rest
ing how to get the most out of n
free half-hour. It can do wonders
toward pulling up tired body and
mind, but it must be thorough. While
lying fiat on the back with the feet
up, and, most important of all loose
clothing blood is being manufactured
twice as rapidly as in any other posi-
ton, and the process Of restoration
is going on in the body with the great
est possible speed Boots should bel
removed, and loose slippers donned,
and it is a great help if fresh stock
ings are put on. There is a tendency
to feel chilly when a tired person first
lies down, and if the body is called
upon to make extra effort toward heat,
ing itself (Which it very obliginsly
will do), the resting is not complete.
Hence the necessity for throwing d
covering over you, even if resting in a
warm room. The words of a man,
curiously enough recur to me on this
subject. Mr. Seymour Hicks, whose
youthful appearance is one of his
causes for fame, says he likes to de-
vote the time between five and six
o'clock to resting When he can do
that, no matter how tired he is, or
how trying has been the day, he goes
to his evenings work quite refreshed.
But" says this jolly actor, ut must
be really rest take off my clothing.
don pajamas, pull down the blinds,
get into bed, and imagine I am retir-
ing for the night. A half-hour of rest
under these conditions is worth more
than half-a-days less thorough sizes
ia" Negligee garments are restful in
themselves, and no woman who values
her good looks will fail to form the
habit of exchanging street clothes for
dainty and attractive house gowns,
when she is at home for the evening.

Few fights between big men aroused
such interest, and there was an enor-

On the eventful night. at the Ma
tional Sporting Club, in London, Jack
son typifed the panther, and made an
extraordinary impression Slavin was
impervious to the others style, but the
blacks quickness and long reach kept
Slavin determined in attack. Incl
dentally Jackson had a marvellous
straight left
There had been one or two bets that
Slavin would win in four rounds. but
the layer of these soon knew that he
had lost his money Certainly Jack
son was in trouble, in fact, in great
stress. toward the end of the sixth
round. but he got out Of it with the
quickness of a featherweight.
1t was that long straight left that
won the battle for Jackson.
As cotemporary recorder said
about the finish: Early in the last
round Jackson, after some fast in
fighting Clipped his antagonist on the
jaw. Slavn did not fall, but he was
dazed and stood helpless. Jackson
turned round in a most chivalrous way
and looked at the referee, Mr.. Jack
Angle, who was a fine amateur in his
time and a member of the London
Stock Exchange He had to follow the
rules and say, Fight on.
jackson spoke so many could hear
him. i must finish him then But
there frequently is a kick in a dead
'un. Jackson knew this and give his
opponent a series of left and right
hooks, till Slavin dropped. Jackson
would not leave until he had seen
Paddy, as he called Slavin. The
words between the two men are worth
repeating The winner said, Good
night Paddy; there can't be two win
ners, but good luck Good night,
Peter murmured Slavin from his bed"
One must never overlook that won
derful tutor of many great fighters,

In fact, it was Foley's bringing him
forward which gave Peter sufficient
renown to get him a good position in

How to Cure q Cold.

Be as careful as you can you will
occasionally take cold, and when
you do, get medicine of known re-
liability, one that has an established
reputation and that is certain to eff
feet quick cure. Such a medicine
is Meritol Cough Remedy. 1t has
gained wide reputation by its re-
markable cures of this most common
ailment, and can always be depended
upon. 1t acts no natures plan, re-
lieves the lungs, aids expectoration,
opens the secretions and aids nature
in restoring the system to healthy
condition. During the long time in
which it has been in general use we
have yet to learn of a single case
of cold or attack of the grip having
resulted in pneumonia when this
remedy was used, which shows con-
clusively that it is certain pre-
ventive of that dangerous disease.
Meritol Cough Remedy contains no
opium or other narcotic and may be
given as confidently to a baby as to
an adult. For sale by E. j. Par
man, druggist, member of American
