MAS CHICKEN DINNERS

The working force at the Count,
Clerks office have been accumlatins
money all the year in the form oi
tips, and at Christmas time they
found way to make use Of it. Be.
SIDES the tips IN silver they had tips
IN the way Of information regarding
four or five poor families where
there might not be any Christmas
dinner unless it was provided By
friends, SO they arranged to have
things sent to these homes on Tues
day afternoon, and left as Kris Krin-
gle N es things.
Sssral good fellows who get to-
gether to play the part Of associa-
ted charities in case there was still
work to do for the very poor, found
that everybody seemed to be proyid-
ed for except one woman in town,
and one family they heard of living
nfteen miles in the country who did
not have much. A small purse was
provided for getting some supplies
for the lone woman, and the other
case was passed up because the faith
er is reported to be well and strong
and exceedingly lazy, devoting con
siderable time to reading Appeal to
Reason" and other similar literature.

money to help defend the dynamiters

were duly sorry for his family but
lid not feel it their duty to send
hem any chickens.

one of the bunch propounded a ques
tion of natural interest.
What becomes OF the lighters whoI
their DAYS of activity i'm the ring are
at an end2'
The question set everybody thinking
and in order TO answer il was neces-
sary 90 take cases" on some OF thu
fighters who in the last few years hay,
left the ring for all time. IL was dis
covered that a great many of the
pugilis,s had become policemen. In
Chicago. the home OF many of the
best fighters who ever stepped be
tween the ropes. there are many of
the former glove wielders who now
swing club instead OF the maulies.
Remember Martin Duny. who was
one of the topnotch lightweights of his
time. which was only a few years ago?
Duffy can be found any nisht in Chi
cago travelling a beat. He isn't a
lightweight any more, but has Joined
the heavy weight class. DUFFY GER
tainly was a star Of cleverness, some
thing like Packey Mcfarland,
Jack Moffat. the middle weight. who
possessed class but failed TO become
a champion, partly because he dis
located shoulder in a fight, is a po-
liceman ana travels beat over Chit
cago streets. Moffat met the brilliant
Tommy Ryan more than once in the
ring. and Tommy always gave Mof-
fat credit for being a fighter of the
first water. The bad arm finally
stopped Moffat's ring career, and he
dcnned the suit of blue as a means
of livelihood. There are several 9th
ers Of lesser note in Chicago who swing
the club, but as their acquaintance
pugihstically did not extend beyond
the confines of the Lake Michigan city
no more need be said of them.
Jimmy Barry, the wonderful little
champion Of the ring i'm his day, al
so is living i'm Chicago. Jimmy con
tinues TO make friends Just IS he al
ways did. and is earning a living with
something besides swinging OF the
other fellows Jaw Barry spends the
summer months working in the pub
lie Fairgrounds. where he is consid-
cred a huge success.
Kid Herman. another Chicago light
weight. is a real businessman and
success has brought MIN plenty Of the
shekcls. The Kid" is i'm Seattle,
Wash. where he is proprietor OF a
hofsts shop Herman almost reach
ed the pinnacle of fame. the obstacle
in his path being that wonderful col
ored fighter Joe Cans, now dead.
George Kerwin, once a Chicago light
weight OF note, is saloonkeeper in
Chicago.
Joe Choynsld. who has made Chica-
go his home for many years after
leaving California, has earned q liv-
ing, and a good one. too, by teaching
the game that ma,ic him famous.
now is boxing instructor AT
the millionaire athletic club of Pitts
burgh. Previous to leaving Chicago
he conducted physical culture school,
and also was instructor at the Illinois
Athletic club.
Tommy White. who gained fame by
his great fights with Terrible Terry
