SMALL BITS OF SPORT

stopped the Knockout Brown-John-
ny Thompson fight in the sixth round

showered him with blows to the face
and body until the sheriff interfered.
The fighters were apparently evenly
matched until Thompson claimed a
foul. The fight was staged by the
Marquette club at Central park. Both
fighters weighed in at 15S pounds.

Formed POSTAGE STAMINA.

Bad money and spurious banknotes
are as common as sparrows, but forg-
ed postage stamps are seldom heard
OF. The most glaring case of stamp
forgery in Great Britain occurred i'm
1872 and 1873. and its origin has never
been discovered In those days the
minimum rate for Geographic mes
sages was / shilling. and the stamps
that were forged were all for such
amount, each being passed through
the Stock Exchange Geographic office
One Of the principal reasons against
postage stamp forgery is the keenness
Of philatelists. The vigilance of the
collector would speedily bring to light
the existence of any faulty stamps
OF the many thousands Of varieties of
stamps issued, only about 100 are
known to have been forged, and these
specimens have usually been skillfully
faxed more with the object OF trap
ping the collector than robbing the
postal authorities.-Lon Standard.

Definitions of News.

us that lie recently tested the intelll.
gence of bunch of applicants for
jobs by giving them bit OF copy pa
per and requesting them to write
thereon n definition of News" Here
are some of the answers turned in:
News consists of events that are
either very usual or very unusual
"News is what the public will read
and pay for without kicking"
News is anything the public ought
TO Know"
News is report Of what happened,
not of what ought to happen"
News is anything a paper can print
that's new. except (a) new stuff that
might start a libel suit. (b) anything
that might lose an advertiser, (c) any
thing that might ALLEVIATE bunch OF
subscribers"

When Almanacs Were New.

The first printed almanac. published
Mt Nuremberg in 1915. was thought
such a wonderful thing that it was
sold at ten golden crowns a copy
more than its weight In gold. The first
English printed almanac was the
shepherds Kalendar." translated from
the French and printed by Richard
Pynson in 1897, and the first popular
almanac OF the "Old Moore" type was
the "Pronostyacyon OF Mayster John
Thybauit. medycyner and astronomer
of the Emperya!l Majestic of the yeare
of our Lorde MCCCCCXXXIJ."
Besides prophesying wares. revo-
lucions and the death Of kynges," that
early almanac told you the proper day
to take physic. Monday was the day
for ailments of the legs. Tuesday for
affections of the head. etc But what
the unfortunate sufferer was to do who
had pain on the wrong day it does
not state. You must take pains at the
proper time.

One of the most striking feats of
human endurance was that of Tom
Burrows, the club swinging champion
of England. who by whlrling his clubs
for forty-six hours without a moments
respite broke all records. He reminds
one OF Arthur Lancaster. who achieved
athletic fame by swinging black
smiths hammer for twelve consecutive
hours and afterward added to his lau-
rels by beating all British records for
ball punching. He punched a twenty
four ounce ball for fifteen hours con.
dnuously at the average rate of 145

would go away on burst of $50 and

fist work that three times he broke the

lie was afraid TO win. either legiti-

that il he left the table the judge
