day her mother told her that the ship
that Jack had sailed in was coming
into port. Maggie ran far up the beach
to get away by herself. But in time
she was obliged to return and on en-
tering the house felt herself clasped in
a pair of strong arms and heard her
name spoken in Jack Winslow's famil-
lar voice.
MY trouble will not longer keep US
apart. Maggie. dear" he said. 1T is
all right now. But I'm sorry for you,
sweetheart. that YOU can't any more

The trouble that Jack had spoken of
in his letter was plain to all except
Maggie. AT Singapore he had caught
the smallpox. and for want Of atten-
ton his face. which had been hand

was this that had induced him to

knowing that she would not see his

Self conquest and universal charity

principal feature OF the Perry cen
rary.
The permanent feature will be in
the form Of u monument to be erected
at Put-in-Bay and for which congress
has already made an appropriation Of
$25O,O0O. The dedication ceremonies
Of this memorial may be one Of the
leading features Of the celebration.
From present plans the Perry monu-
ment will be one of the most novel
ever erected, being a combination Of
the artistic with unitarian features.
For instance. the monument itself
will doubtless be an immense shaft Of
granite, and tentative architectural
provisions have been made in the base
for assembly halls and offices.
Again. the position of the monument,
near Sandusky. O., is so commanding
that it can serve as Il lighthouse as
we'll. The wireless telegraph, of
course. will be an adjunct Of the fight
house. and provision can easily be
made for an observatory without
marring it's architectural beauty.

of the structure will be an aquarium,

A Remarkable Man,

Blaise Pascal-1623- 1662-was one of
the most remarkable men that the race
has produced. His greatness was
many sided. like that of Leonardo da
Vinci, neXt to whom perhaps he is en-
titled to rank from the standpoint Of
intellectual b%rilliancy. He was a mas
ter Of style. and his subject covered
about the whole field of mental activi-
ty. Great as Il dreamer of rich and
splendid dreams. he was also supreme
~ great as Il logician and mathemati-
clan. as a natural philosopher and sci
entiic d~iscoverer. -He died at the age
Of thirty-nine after having been sick
all his life, and yet the fragments Of
his genius will serve to make his name
as immortal as the human race itself.

fighter. .a.,
Moran is a wonderful fighter, by far
the hardest hitting lad Of his inches
in the ring today. And this will make
him a favorite If he ever enters the
ring with Wolgast. The present cham
pion won his laurels when he defeated
Battling Nelson in forty rounds. 1t
will be remembered that during the
forty rounds of what is considered the
fiercest fighting ever seen between
lightweights not a Touchdown was
registered.
From the twenty-ffth round to the.
finish Nelson was all in. He strad-
died in the ring to keep on his feet,
and eyewitnesses say that Wolgast
repeatedly drove left and right hand
punches to the Danes jaw and body
and, while he staggered him, he never
toppled Bat.
On the other hand, Nelson never had
a chance with Moran. The latter sim
ply battered the Dane to all four cor

ready he finished him. Still, one can
never tell. Maybe the beating that
Wolgast gave Nelson left him easy
prey for the first real good man that
came along. It was only a short time
ago that Nelson made a miserable
showing in a fight with Anton La
Grave. who is practically a novice.
Wolgast may be able to Withstand the
terrific punching powers Of Moran,
but if Wolgast intends to defend his
title he should right now begin to con-
dition himself by meeting various men
the country over and not remain prac.
tically in solitude in his Michigan
home.
Wolgast since he won his title has
not met an opponent that could even
be considered a, second rater, and in
arranging for his match with Moran
he should well remember their last
meeting, which many Of the specta-
tors say was really won by Moran.
