ON JULY 4TH

LOS ANGELES, June 12.-Mith
AID Wolgast already on the ground,
Joe Rivers is losing no time in
preparation for his tilt with the
champion on July 4th.
Rivers travelled through his PAGES
at the beaches Sunday, thousands
looking over the little Mexican 5
work. He appeared much heavier
and sturdier than upon any OF his
ring appearances here.
At Doyle's Wolgast was compelled
to turn away visitors. His work was
100 per cent better than upon his
last workout here. After several
fast rounds he declared himself to
be in excellent condition.

HAVE LITTLE RESPECT
= FOR PURE ENGLISH

Colonel Mooney of Memphis,
Tenn, comments on the language
used by President Taft and Colonel
Roosevelt in their chickering's:
My hat is in the ring.
He hit me below the belt.
We slugged EN- through the
ropes"
These are just samples Of political
oratory and If as Colonel Mooney
believes the style is to come into
governmental vogue we may look
forward to much livelier presiden-
tial messages and state documents
in general.
For instance, congress might get
a message like this:
What no, blokes! We must get
busy on these Cuban ginks and belt
EN- few on the cocoa They are
getting too fresh anyway, and it
might be as well for us to put the
boots to them now as in the sweet
bye and bye Let us all get on the
job together and whale the bunch
until they squeal like bearcats
Again l say, What no, blokes!"

TEETH MARKS LEAD
TO IDENTIFICATION

LONDON, Feb. IA singular dem
onstration was given by a medical man
in court at Leicester at an inquest on
woman named Annie Jennings, who
was found murdered in her room on
January 3. Her throat was cut, and
teeth marks and other wounds showed
that she had been attacked with great
ferocity. A man named Johnson is
now charged with her murder.
A piece of plotting paper on which
the teeth marks of the accused has
been taken was produced, and DR..
Chapel said the general curves of the
marks on the body and paper CORES
pended The last tooth on the upper
jaw had PENETRATED the skin, and the
impression on the blotting paper show
ed a tooth with a sharp point, which
would probably penetrate the skin.
There was a gap in the impressions
on the skin, and similar gap in the
marks on the plotting paper, and &C
cused had tooth missing in the same
place.

The soul that sinneth it shall die.
The great difficulty is coming to an
understanding of Gods word is
caused by lack of appreciation of the
fact that no one is on trial for life un-
til he clearly understands the terms
and conditions of his trial.
Therefore, God has arranged for a
period of one thousand years, during
which Christ will reign over the earth
and fulfill the promise made to Abra-
ham, that all the families will consist
of an awakening from the death state,
the opening of all blind eyes, and I'M
stopping of all deaf ears; the Gospel
of Jesus Christ will be preached to all
who come from the grave in terms
which all can understand, and they
will be given full, fair chance for sal
Priest who will punish, chastise and
encourage to the extreme that divine
wisdom will see fit, in order to give
each individual the best possible
chance to obtain eternal life, and only
those who prove wilfully disobedient
will be destroyed in the second death
from which will be no awakening for
Christ dieth no more. Some Christians
are disposed to reject this Gospel, not
because it is not good, nor because
they find any real argument from the
Bible against it; but somehow they
seem to think it puts premium on sin
by giving what they term a second
chancee to each individual, and if
you and l have one chance now, let
us make the most of it,. for we will
never get another"

Gems in Letter Box.

LONDON, Feb. VALUABLE gems,
which are believed to be the proceeds
of a robbery or burglary, have been
found enclosed in paper bag which
had been dropped into the letter box
OF Bristol professional man.
The police formed the opinion that
the jewels had been removed from old
and precious ornaments, and that be-
ing unable to dispose of them, or
afraid of attempting to do SO, the thief
had dropped them into the letter box
lest he should be arrested with them
in his possession
The stones include an onyx blue
stone, bloodstone, comedian stone
and a number of other stones which
had apparently formed parts OF
brooches, earrings, and seals. No such
jewels having been reported as miss
ing at Bristol or in the district, it is
believed they will form the clue to
robbery in some other part of the

PROTECTION AND LABOR.

In the town of Lawrence, Mass,
there is anarchy. Streets are patroll-
ed by soldiers. Strikers are forbidden,
by the militia, to meet to discuss plans
for winning their strike One striker
has been bayonetted in the back, and
tempting to get out of the militia's
way. Men, that is, strikers, are refus-
ed the right of free speech. One strik-
err is under arrest upon what appears
and anarchy reigns.
The reason is the strike of $4,000
workers in the textile mills owned by
the American Wooden company (the
wooden trust), of which VIM M. Wood
is president.
The strike came when the Massach-
usetts legislature, by law, put limit
upon the hours men and women might
labor.
The wooden trust then cut the
wages (already pitifuD which it paid.
The workers struck and the company
refused to arbitrate.
These are the words of the strikers
in appealing for arbitration:
1--WE are of the opinion that you
have had ample time to consider the
demands of the men, women and chill
dren who have made the American
Wooden company what it is today. In
view of the fact that machinery has
been improved, the workers turn Off
more and more work, but they are not
paid accordingly, even though the
price of food, clothing and shelter has
in many cases increased SO and even
100 per cent within the last few years.
I'VE, the committee, are willing to
meet the officials of the company at
any time and submit the grievances of
the strikers. So if you believe in a
square deal you will not refuse to
meet with us, but will come forward
at once and try to bring the trouble
to final conclusion. You must bear
in mind the fact that these men, wom-
en- and children have not gone on
strike for light or transient causes,
but because they could no longer bear
up under the burdens laid upon their
shoulders. 1t seems to us that the
American Wooden company has within
the last few years built several mills
which are paid for, according to your
own figures, and the company has even
in the worst of times managed to pay
dividends to it's stockholders.
