The Japanese are great admirers OF
epigrams and apt phrases. Their love
of such things is carried so far that
when a guest says something unusual
ly brilliant the host or hostess will
beg him to write down his remark in
large ornamental script. The sentence
is then mounted and hung on the wall
as a permanent addition to its orna-
ments. much as we might hang up a
text or motto. Naturally the author
of a bon mot treated In this way feels
himself highly honored to be thus
placed on record. But the sentences
are selected more for their wisdom
than their humor; so that the funny

ATHLETIC PROGRAM
AT SMOKER WILL
BE A GOOD ONE

When the members Of the Com
mercial association attend the first
smoker Of the fall tomorrow evening
at the club rooms, they will be en-
tertained with an athletic program
Of high merit. Dudley Evans. man
ager Of the p. a. A. c., kindly tender
ing the services Of some Of his ath-
letes, two OF whom will be the prin-
cipals of the bout which is scheduled
for election night, Jack Carpenter of
Boise and Fred Sax of this city.
Other features of the program will
be three round bout between Clark
Battling" Nelson and Brooke Dick
son. both well known Pendletonians.
Both are clever and experienced and
the go will be worth witnessing. An
other three round go will be between
Young Wtitey and Stanley Trimble,
two of Evans pupils.
Young Hackensmith, the new ath-
let trainer of the Z. a. A. c., will
finish the athletic card by doing
some parallel bar stunts.
That the interest locally has been
given a new impetus by the activity
Of the club is evinced by the audi
ences which are gathering in the
gymnasium each afternoon and even
ing to watch Carpenter and Sax work
out for their bout next week. The
former has the o'clock hour and
the latter takes his indoor work at
1880.
Bill Gaffney is acting as boxing
partner for the Boise boy and they
finish the days work with three hot
rounds. Carpenter has won many
admirers by the cleverness and will
ingness which he is manifesting in
his workouts and he will have plenty
Of hackers when the night OF the
fight arrives.
Sax is being assisted by his broth
er, Jos. He is already down to
weight, IA, and looks in perfect
trim.
