dollars in cash and u second hand car,
which he may have to keep for six
months or year and then sell at a
loss i'm order to dispose of it.
Under this plan the dealer can make
9 fair margin of profit and with this
profit can give his customer better
service. which in the end will be of
greater satisfaction to the customer
than the securing Of few dollars more
than the value of his secondhand car.
The dealer viii be able to stay in bust
ness and a condition will have ceased
to exist that has been a menace to the
entire industry.
Must CurtaiI Evil"
The evil is one that the dealers feel
must be curtailed at once if they intend
to continue business. The margin OF
profit that the dealer is allowed by his
factory is a small one. If this has to
be cut down by the loss Of his trading
it means that in order to stay in the
business something must be sacrificed.

ing him for every bit of work that is
done on his car and by adding on ac-
cessories for which he charges the Gus
toner full list price and on which he
makes. a small profit. The customer
who receives. say. 500 more than the
market value for his old car from the
dealer thinks that he is getting the
better OF the dealer, and no doubt he is;
but. on the other hand. when he has
to pay for service he is actually losing
money.
The trading of second hand ears has
increased to such q proportion that in
the last year q number of dealers in
this and other cities found that at the
end of the year their entire profits We're
tied up in a lot Of second hand cars Of
questionable value. In one city deal
er was compelled to discontinue the
agency for his new car. and the follow
ing year did nothing but sell the sec
ond hand cars which he had on hand
This condition is one which is abso-
lutely wrong from a commercial stand
point. and the dealers realize that some
thing must be done to prevent IT,

committee expected to learn from him
whether the Hartman estate had any
documentary evidence of the raising
of a S250,OO0 fund in 1904. TegethOff
said Hartman had told him Of raising
that fund at RoOsevelt's request, and
also produced letters relating to ap-
pointments Of an ambassador and 9TH

intimate relations between the then
president and the big railway man.

said was Mr Harrimans contribution

1904
Then Nj. Tegethoff put in the record
a series of letters in which Roosevelt
asked Hartman to visit him at the
White House during the fall and win
ter of 1898. Letters dated Oct. 2 and
Oct 8 from the former president ask
ing Hartman whether he would be in
Washington soon" and invited him
either to lunch or dine at the White
House. Replies from Mr.. Hartman
said tina, he was not planning to come
to Washington at that time, but might

Letters of that character continued
up to May II, 1904, when President
Roosevelt wrote asking Hartman if he
could take lunch with me on Monday,

the president suggested that Harri-

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the dis
eased portion of the ear. There is only one way TO
cure deafness and that is by constitutional rene
dies. Deafness is caused by an inlamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eustachan Tube.
When this tube Is infiauled you have q rUmbling
sound or imperfect hearing and when il is entirely
closed, Deafness is the result and unless the in
flammaton can be taken out and this tube restored
10 its normal condition, hearing viii be des royed

There must be organization that will look after the

NEW TALES TOLD
AT THE RINGS|DE
BY A. w. PHElON.


Fight clubs may come and fight
clubs may go. but there will probably
never be boxing organization like
the Portable Athletic Club, which
struggled hard to live in the Middle
West few short years since. 1t was
quite unique, unapproachable and, as
a rule, uncatchable To this day the
pugilists who fought fog that club, the
fight fans who patronized it and the
sheriffs who tried to overtake it, tell
of it with shaking sides and unani-
mously assert that it's like will never
be seen again.
Cal Harris, tall, slender fight prn-
moter, originally of Cleveland, was the
president, treasurer, matchmaker and
Splinter of the club. The equipment
of the club consisted of four slender
posts, with long screws on the lower
ends, and a coil of rope-that was ell.
The clubhouse? Wherever Cal Harris
found breathing space and a stage or
platform. The gloves? Purchased or
borrowed for each occasion. The
gong, ditto" The mat for the floor
of the ring? Ditto, or as a rule, dis
pensed with entirely. The tickets? A
set of ancient rain checks borrowed
from the Cleveland ball club.

the season. Five can be said to have
done active service throughout the
schedule. They are Leifield, Sallee,

against all clubs. There are twenty

found that at the end of the run it
marked 4:3S 3-5. King thinks that
this is correct, for he said he never
