"Hear me QUIT" he said grimly. "My
girl is all the world to me, Harry, and
l mean to do all in my power to make
sure of her happiness. Now, to my mind,
chess is a sure tombstone of mental and
moral qualities. In the latter you suit
me, and are worthy of even so good a
little girl as she who is now directing
such scornful glances at her crotchety
old father"
Margaret shook her head with an
attempt at smiling negative; but she
was hurt and surprised at this revela-
ton of her fathers attitude toward our
match.
He went on, Morally, the touchstone
of chess shows you sound and genuine.
You play fair, square, upright game.
You take victory with modesty and
kindness toward your adversary. You
take defeat like gentleman, neither
making excuses nor showing rancor.
That is all as it should be in one who
aspires to be Margaret's husband"
How pleasantly the last words sounded
to me! Il thank you again, Sir" l

"Now you hit it, Mr.. Drayton said

CHINESE REVOLT ALARMING
Foreigners in Canton Ready to Flee
for Their Lives.

Hongkong, China, May 16.-There
are alarming rumors Of revolution
airy uprising at Canton and the sur.
rounding districts. Europeans in the
sshamien, the foreign district of Can.
ton, are prepared to leave. The rest
lessness is widespread and tens OF
thousands of persons are fleeing from
the disturbed section of this city.
The revolt is said to cover a wide
area and to be led by relatives of high
Chinese ofncials who have been edu-
Gated in Japan. More than $1,000, 900
is said to be available to the rebels.
The leaders of the revolution in For
mosa and AMMAN declare that they
have enough dynamite to blow up the
city Of Canton.
DecapitatiOns of rebels and suspects
occur daily in Canton. The relatives
Of those executed do not dare remove
the bodies from the streets and as a
result there is a horrible situation.
Two British .gunboats, one French,
one German, one American and ono
Italian, are now of Canton. Another
German gunboat is going to the city
carrying two Maxim guns and sup
ply of ammunition.
The political unrest is general
throughout South China.

GEERS EXPECTS BIG YEAR.
Famous Reinsman Will Start Season
With Powerful Stable.

Famous Reinsman Will Start Season
With Powerful Stable.
Edward F. Geers, the dean of the
trotting sport, is looking forward to
this season as being one of the ban
ner years Of his long career in the
sulky. 1t will be his thirty-irst trip
down the grand circuit, and from all
appearances it may be the most sue
cessful campaign the &c. o. M" has
ever entered. -...
During his long service in the light
harness sport Mr.. Geers has marked
nearly sixty horses with records bet
ter than 2:1O. He Is credited with
having given records of 2:1O or better
to thirty trotters and twenty-four
PAGERS. In Memphis Mr. Geers has
flfty-two horses he is pointing for this
seasons jaunt down the big line, and
it means that he will wind up the
season by giving several more trotters
and PAGERS fast records.
Mr.. Geers likes to drive. Although
he has been crippled by numerous &C.
c1dents, he still enjoys to be in the
thick Of a grand circuit contest where
wheels Of one sulky are scraping with
wheels Of those on either side. Fear
is unknown to him, and 1t takes a
mighty severe accident to keep him
out of the sulky. His legs and arms
have been broken several times, and
he has received many other injuries
that have twisted him out Of shape,
but still he keeps on.

The real answer to the question asked
by the fans is short. One word Of six

MEXICAN FIGHT NEAR END
New Peace Move Likely to End in

III Paso, Tex, May 16-The end OF
the revolution in Mexico seems near.
Judge Carbajal, federal peace COM

the lines proposed by Rafel Herman

1t is not believed that Colonel Ra-

Terrazas are not far from Chihuahua

federal government will not in that
case send him marching orders in
view of the probable success of the

woLeAsT GREATEST LIGHT.
WEIGHT, SAYS JEFFRiEs.

'Wolgast Is the best light
weight in the world" says Jef-
fries. HE is fighter pure and
simple. He doesn't pretend to
be a fancy boxer. There's no
doubt about his gameness and
hitting qualities, which make a
champion. Whenever he meets
challenger over route string
along with him, for he has Won
derful stamina and improves as
the battle progresses. l think he
will whip Moran, who Is his
most dangerous rival, and l in
tend to back him, even though
I will not be at the ringside. 1t
is possible that Wolgast was
afraid to cut loose against X. o.
Brown because of his weak left
arm, but as that member Is
strong again I expect him to
beat all comers."
WOlgast's next fight Is with
frankie Burns, the California
lightweight, in San Francisco
May 20. The distance is twenty
five rounds. Burns recently
knocked out Lew Powell and
won on foul from Hogan, who
was in bad way whom the Of
Tense was committed. Wolgast
is confident that he can stop
Burns before the limit is
reached.

as is Jimmy Callahan, the Chicago
Americans left fielder. When Gala
han quit the big league some years
back it was generally conceded that
he had seen his best days, and no one
ever dreamed that after six years or
more he would be able to come back
and prove the star of an outfield that
Is rather classy. But Callahan has &C.
complished this and is today playing
the best ball of all the members of
Comiskey's team.
Cal is still young man, and there
is no reason why he should not be as
good a ball player as he ever was.
Surely he Is big improvement over
some Of the youngsters Manager Duffy
had slated for outfeld positions. In
cidentally Callahan Is Of great assist
ance to Hugh Duffy. No one knows
the game better or Is more capable to
give advice than Callahan, and he will
undoubtedly be Duffy's right hand
