GUNBOAT SMITH PUTS
 ANDY MORRIS DOWN AND OFT

Gunboat Smith cleared the decks for action last night and toppled Andy Morris in the two rounds at the St. Nicholas A. C., New York
 Smith shot a right and left to the jaw as they came out of a clinch in the second round. There was K O.. in either belt. Morris crumpled and went to the floor as flat as a fap-jack His head hit the boards with a sick ening whack, but he got up before the count had been tolled off. He covered up and took fearful beating in a corner before the sailor finally hit him on the jaw for the fnisher.

THE THREE AUNTS when anothe

and not knowing which way TO turn
when another old woman came In and
asked:
What ails you. child?'
At first the lassie wouldn't say, but at
last she told her the whole story OF her
grief
We'll, we'll" said the old wife. never
mind. II you'll call me Aunt on the hap
piest day OF your life. I'll weave this
yarn for you; and so you may Just he on
and lie down to sleep"
Yes, the lassie was willing enough: 80
she went away and lay down to sleep.
When she awoke there lay piece Of
linen on the table. woven so neat and
close, no wool could be better. So the
lassie took the piece and ran down TO
the Queen. who was very glad 10 get
such beautiful linen, and set greater store
than ever by the lassie. But as for the
others. they grew still more bitter against
her. and thought OF nothing but how 10
find out something to tell about her
At last they told the Queen the lassie
had said she was good TO make up the
piece Of linen into shirts in four and
twenty hours. Well all happened as be-
| fore: the lassc dared not say she couldn't
sew; so she was shut up again in a room
| by herself and there she sat in tears and
grief. But then another old wife came
who said she would sew the shirts for
her II she would call her Aunt on the
happiest day OF her life. The lassie was
| only too glad TO do this; and then she
did as the old wife told her, and went
and lay down to sleep
Next morning when she woke she
found the piece OF linen made up into
| shirts, which lay on the table, and such
beautiful work no one had ever set eyes
