AL PALZER HERE.
Noted White Hope Comes to Town
to Visit Among Old Friends
and Join the Elks.

AL Palzer, the most famous of all
the white prize fighters of the world,
arrived from New York Sunday, to
spend a week or so visiting among
the old friends of his boyhood days
in DEBORAH, and incidentally to take
a fall out of the Elks' goat, which
he and his father of Ossian intend
to do tomorrow evening, along with
a number of others. AL is some
fighter, but when he gets up against
Charley Trzcinski's prestidigitatic
and legerdemainic evolutions he will
take the count without a CULVER; at
least We'll bet on it. They say he
can take all kinds of punishment
without whining, but if he don't beg
for mercy before the end of the third
round, it'll be because Charley's out
of condition, that't all.
Palzer is having lot of fun Wis
iting about among the kids with
whom he used to play and who are
almost afraid of him now, he is so
big and strong. He will stay here
week or so, visiting in DEBORAH
and with his folks near Ossian, and
then intends to go west to San
Francisco, where he has some big
matches in sight.

Didn't Want Backing.

Topeka Capital: There was a
meeting being held in one of the
southern counties of Kansas, and
when it came to giving experiences,
one lantern-jawed brother got up to
testify. He said that he used to be
bad man, but that the grace of the
Lord had so changed his heart that
he now felt that he was without sin.
When he got through a stranger
arose in the back of the house and
said that he wanted to corroborate
the statement of Brother Smith about
what kind of a man he used to be.
He said that he used to know Brother
Smith when he lived back in Missouri
and that II there was a meaner, more
dishonest, low-liyed son-of-a-gun in
that part of the country he had never
heard of the man. When the strang-
er sat down Smith arose again, but
there was nothing meek or lowly in
his bearing. He said that the man
who made the statement concerning
his character was an internal liar and
that he would have the law on him ;
that he could prove that there had
never been anything against his
(Smith 50 character.
Meanwhile the man who had Gre
ated the disturbance had slipped out
and gone, and Smith had been busy
explaining TO his neighbors ever
since that he had never lived in Mis-
souri, and never saw the stranger in
his life before. But in spite of all
his talk, about half his neighbors be-
lieye the story.

THE BACHELORS PARADISE.


Free as the birds and a lucky old
boy!
Handsome, and rich, and fountain
of joy,
Sugar and lots of spice!
Who could resist if the gods should
decree
Something as jolly for you and for
A bachelors paradise!
Nothing to fret or to worry about;
Cash coming in and not much going
out;
Always enough and to spare!
No one at home to know how it is
spent,
No little rowdy to beg for a cent,
And nobody bothers to care!
Nothing to do at the close of the
day,
Nobody asks him to hurry away,
Home to the same old shack!
No little shepherds watching the
gate,
Nobody wonders what keeps him so
late,
Matrons and maids are awaiting his
smile,
Sparkle, and music, and dance, to
beguile,
Everything natty and trin
No little tousle-heads cuddle down
tight,
No little woman to whisper good
night
Nothing like that for him!
Nothing to trouble him all the night
long.
Monarch of all And his life like a
song,
Easy, and comfy, and nice
No little bear-hug, and no morning
kiss,
No little nuisance, and no little bliss,
Not in his paradise!
