himself with sour milk. Every one
of the wrestlers patronizes the re-
freshment stand on the grounds and
asks for ginger ale.
After the training for the day is
over the wrestlers sit out in front
of the Russell house and talk over
the doings. Some heavyweight
jokes are sprung and then the
hearty laughter can be heard for
blocks.
Several staff correspondents for
big newspapers and syndicates have
paid Gotch a visit to get write-up
of the doings.

GOTCH TO SLOW DOWN
IN TRAINING STUNT
Many People Going to Humboldt to
See the Worlds Champion
Work Out.

Fort Dodge, Aug. 1T wish my
match with George Hackenschmidt
was tomorrow" said Frank Gotch
yesterday afternoon to Messenger
reporter in Humboldt. II am feel
ing as fine as ever did and now
am somewhat fearful that I may &c
stale. A fellow has to look out for
that.
IT am going to cut down on the
training stunt somewhat" said the
big fellow. 81 already have cut
down the length of my daily run
and think will cut down the time
at handball. But say, none Of this
training stunt again for mine. 1t is
too monotonous."
The champion heavy weight
grappler will take a days layoff
next Tuesday and perambulate over
to Barnum with his base ball team,
there to forget his training worries;
Rogers and Reimer will HE them
selves to Duncombe on that date for
an exhibition bout. The rest of the
camp will take layoff for the day.
Rogers, Asbell and Reimer are
the three men with whom Gotch is
working on the mat. Hassan will
not be able to do but two or three
weeks work during the training sea-
son because Of his shoulder. He de-
clared yesterday that he will work
next week but Gotch says he will
not allow him to. Ordeman who
has been n the twin cities on bust
ness will return. Farmer Burns al
SO will be present to help with his
advice.
81 would like to have more than
three men," said Gotch. 81 can
throw my partners with the same
holds every day if want to. More
men will give me varied work
out"
Gotch wrestled yesterday with
Rogers and Reimer. He made REIN
er carry his weight while resisting
his efforts to throw him. Reimer
wriggled out of several holds but
Gotch did not over-eXert himself.
Reimer was still in the game when
the wrestling hour ended.
Crowds daily are growing bigger
at Riverside camp where they watch
Gotch work out. Yesterday between
400 and 500 people, many of them
women, were present. A few
benches are placed about the pa
y'lion in which the wrestling is
pulled off.
The wrestling bouts, too, have
been growing in excellence. Gotch
is in the finest condition and so is
every one of his training wrestlers.
The training matches are good ma
tured but still they put the men on
their mettle.
Gotch has lost his paunch and
appears trained down to the finest
condition. Those long muscles OF
his work over each other smoothly.
A flash of speed shows he still is
quick as lightning.
Joe Rogers, one of the grapplers
at Camp Riverside, is huge eater
according to stories rife in Hum
boldt. Part of his diet is composed
of two and one half pounds of beef
steak and thirty scrambled eggs a
day. He would drink quarts of
sweet milk if the lacteal fluid did

WAR "REMINISCENCES
Continued from First Pags.)

And such sweet sleep, after such a march; and how many fell out and struggled in during night, after 25-mile march.
 After crossing the North Anna on the pontoons you filed off to the right and some of you were detailed on picket. And oh on the picket line, after such n march, none can tell but he that has gone through It. You will remember the effects ill getting an alignment, men were so bewildered that they were al- most unconscious, and when the oom- mand, ''rest" was given, how those not on the detail for picket, dropped to the sweet earth and in a second were asleep yes soundly, so, too.
 Citizen, did you ever see the time that you were so tired that you would hesi- tate in lodging bullet? You cannot exaggerate the tired and worn condition of the boys after this march. Some of the boys that took bite of "hardtack" '" in their mouths when they lay down found the dry pulp still in thelr mouths on being aroused in the early morning. Comrades, is there any exaggeratl0n in putting this thus strong?
 At four o'clock you were aroused by heavy skirmishing in your frout, and several of our boys were wounded. Charles Thompson, of East Canaan, was one of the first to get hit. He will re- member it. Captain Waiham com manded your skirmish line and did good service in holding the enemy in check. You can readily see the boys, as they check the advance. "Skirmish line :" What is it? It is place that takes the nerve. You are deployed about 20 paces apart and advance or recede, as the case may be. You see your enemy deployed, facing you, perhaps ten rods, more or less, from you. You see your foeman take deliberate aim at you-no doubt about it-and you feel sigh of relief when you hear it whizz by you. Then you can get in your chance. Ask any comrade which takes the most nerve position on busy slzirmish line. where you see your man taking deliberate aim at you, or go into action where it is all excitement and no man knows that any one has special design on him. You know what the answer would be.
 ITO be continued.l

Smith Was Its Godfather

Henry Neeland, who has been riding on the oil wagon, and expresses a de- termination to take permanent seat on the water-wagon, tells one on a well known Canaanits whose name, he says should be called Smith in the story, be- cause it isn't Smith. It seems that Neel- and owned a number of pigs which he proposed to sell for whatever he could get. One of these pigs was particular pet of his young daughter Lola, and Lola objected to this particular pig be- ing sold. Smith, whose name is some thing else, who is & friend and bene- factor of children generally because he has none of his own, happened to know of the child's desire to keep the pig for her very own, gave her a $5 bill, and told her to buy the pig of her father, then he couldn't sell it. She followed instruc- tions and bought the pig. When Neel- and got ready to sell off the stock, he playfully told Lola that he had decided to sell her pig with the rest. "You can't do it, papa" she protested. Whats the reason can't" he asked. Because, was the reply. "Mr. Smith is it's godfather"

Should Boys Be Licked |?

Ever since Nicholas Nickleby turned the tables on MT. Squeers and gave him the memorable trouncing described by Dickens, the tendency in England has been away from corporal punishment ill schools, but now they are putting the rod back, as they think the absence of it has spoiled the child.
 Discussion on the subject is rife in this country Most educators oppose corporal punishment but General Win gate, of the New York board of educa- tion. is an exception. He says: The schools of the present day are too femin- ine. We are getting too good to live. Boys are young animals and often they are allowed to disobey parents and grow up to ba lawless citizens" He thinks such boys need a go0l licking.
 It is at least certain that government by reason and love is infinitely better and higher than government by force and that this applies to grownups as we'll as children. But it is pitiably true that the supply of parents, teachers and public authorities who are of sufficient spiritual stature to rule be reason and love is far short of the demand.
 The bad boy certainly needs some thing. Is licking the best you can do? New Haven Times Leader.

The Halt-Cent

The statement that the local milk dealers are gathering into themselves about $1, ,000 day of surplus profit by selling Scent milk at cents pint gives fresh point to the national agitation for the coining of the half-cent.
 It is not in milk alone that the people get the worst of It by the lack ot the little coin that would solve so many problems of buying. Dealers in every kind of commodity have a habit of fixing prices of quarts, pounds, dozens and yards at figures not divisible by two. Then the mythical half-cent always goes to the seller-never. by any chance, to the buyer.
 Coin the half, cent and the petty i'm positions upon millions of consumers would cease.-Boston Post.

WILD CATTLE IN THE oLvmplcs.

90 Although the state has its "no
trespass" sign tackled on the elk in
the Olympic mountains, guides are
returning from the wild regions
with large game-wild cattle unpro-
tected by law. Grant W. Humes
brought. In the hide and horns of a
wild bull he killed in the plateau re-
gion at the hesdwater of the Duse-
wallips river. Humes, who has lived
in Olympia Is years, says several
hundred wild cattle are at large near
the source of the Dusewallips.
Indian legend says the stock was
brought to this country by the Scotch
settlers who landed from a sailing
vessel in the early forties. The col
ony did not thrive and its members
returned to civilization leaving
their stock.
Guides say the wild cattle and
horses are more timid than deer and
more difficult to hunt.-Seattle cor

BREAKFAST OFF HIS PILLOW
ledger In Crowded Old Irish Inn
Found He Was Sleeping on
the Bacon.

Sleeping on a mat under the moon
in cannibal country is a pale adj
venture compared with a lodge in an
old-time Irish inn at the height of
the tourist season. A certain master
of the Galway hunt, says a contribu-
tor to Cornhill, arrived at a small
inn where all the beds were already
taken.
A kitchen table was requisitioned,
q heterogeneous collection Of bed
clothes was arranged upon it-into
the exact nature Of which it was
perhaps not well to inquire too Close
ly, as it seemed TO be composed Of
contributions from the wardrobes Of
the hotel help-and the sportsman
turned in.
The pillow was an odd-shaped sub
stance, emitting faint and strange
ly familiar odor; but the master Of
the Galway Blazers was too weary 10
concern himself over such TRIES,
and he slept as soundly on his make
shift couch as if it had been a cano-
pied bed Of state.
He was awakened in the morning
by gentle fumbling at the wrap
pings beside his head, and started up
to see a cleaning knife suspended
above his head.
"I'm sorry to be disturbin' We,
sir" said an apologize voice, ''but
sure tn house was out iv pillows in
tirely, an we put tn side iv bacon
undher y'r honor's head. I was just
conthrivin' to get a few Eashers off
