Jack Johnson, the champion colored
prize fighter, is striking example of
how much of q fool can be made of a
man by bunch of easy money and
some notoriety. His victory over
Jeffries in the squared circle made
him the champion pug of the world
and gave him more money than he
ever before knew existed. He at
once started in upon an era Of ex-
travagance and excuses which
swelled his head to exaggerated di,
mansions and brought him into
almost constant conflict with the
law for violations, many of which
were of a most detestable character.
He became staggering, overbearing
bully and made comments upon others,
particularly women. that were almost
unbearable. The law finally 'got''
him, and the money which had
flowed in such a stream into his
possession and which he thought
would always last, has leaked away
in prodigate squandering and hun
dreda of fines and expenses of his
various escapades At the time Of
his recent arrest followed by convic-
tion for violation Of the white
slave" law, he is said to have had
about $40 900 left. The lawyers got
the most Of this and Johnson is now
on the ocean enroute to Europe,
although under SIS, 900 bonds for APP
p8arance in court for retrial Of
his case. 1t is supposed he intends
to forfeit his bond and not return for

Wonders of Fertilizer.

From the Journal of Agriculture and Star
Farmer.
Manure has a peculiar effect upon
the ground. In some ways it loosens
the food necessary to plants by quicken
ing the chemical action of the soil,
and inert soil PARTICLES change into
active food constituents for the gov
ing plants. It is not alone the direct
food value that is at issue, but the
whole effect upon the physical,
chemical and bacterial life of the
soil that must be considered. In
England and other European countries
where the soil has been titled for
hundreds of years, the production to-
day exceeds that of former years. In
fact the wheat production in England
during the middle ages was not as
good as it is in the northwest today.
At present England produces more
than twenty bushels Of wheat to the
acre, France twenty-five, Austria
about eighteen, and the productivity
of the fields of the Belgian and Dutch
farmer are almost beyond belief.
This has come about by giving back
to the soil every thing that could be
fed it in the way of manurial value.
In this respect American farmers have
much yet to learn.

free sugar, did not provide Demo.

with the facts and figures for their

Who knows but what that most

When these leaders, in their
desperation at the increase of the
sentiment against free sugar, turned
on the men who are doing their Ut

would mire themselves on their own
