Old Jim Flynn Licks "White Hope"
cOffey-Mccarty Fights Tonight,

Jim Flynn, admittedly has been
in the heavyweight pugilistic division,
mixed it for zen rounds with Jim
Coffey in New York last night, and
demonstrated that he is better than
the majority of the men now adver-
Using as white hopes.
Coffey battered Flynn in the face
during the early rounds, and made
target of the Italians jaw. The Dub
lin Giants efforts did not shake up
the ex-champion, but smeared blood
in his eyes. In the fourth round Flynn
became peeved at Coffey, and decided
to do little fighting on his own
hook. Tearing into Coffey with
fusillade of rights and let's, he belted
his heavier opponent all over the
ring, and had him covering up the
remainder of the battle to escape a
knockout. ....
When a man like Flynn, one of the
smallest fellows who ever held the
belt, and now slowed up from age and
too much work, can treat a battler

tor Simmons, chairman of the finance
committee, and Senator Penrose, lead
ing the republican fight to refer the
Underwood bill with instructions for
public hearings, delivered oratoricai
broadsides against each other in the

Penrose amendment.
Senator Penrose likened the secret
caucus to the methods of the Spanish
inquisition" and brought laughter from
both sides when he described the eau

Senator Simmons declared that ii
the democratic purpose to eliminate
hearings could be called reprehensible.
it was the first time the democratic
party had copied the methods of the
republicans, and he figured at length
why public hearings were not neces-
sary, averring that they were not even
demanded.

WRITING ON A SOFT PILLOW
~ "a
FOUND Possible to Write LegibIy and
With Comfort on Train Flying
at Top Speed. s s3=* >.... ..z.:

Everyone who has had occasion to
write while riding in q railway train
will be interested In the fact that the
disagreeable effects Of the Earring of
the carriage are greatly mittgated by
writing on pillow. The pillow may
be either held on the lap or placed on
q table. The pad Of paper, and the
arm which guides the pen or pencil
should both rest on the pillow. r,
in this manner 1t will be found pos
sible to write legibly and with comfort
In train flying at full speed.
The explanation depends upon the
fact that the pillow tends to equalize
the motion Of the fast moving car
rage the pen is driven in every direc-
ton except the desired one, because
the constant Earring does not produce
the same motions simultaneously in
the table, or the knee. or hand and the
pen.
But the pillow, through its great pill
ability and moderate degree of elastic.
fty, not only deadens the shocks com
municated from the carriage. but
brings the inevitable motions of the
paper and the hand holding the pen in
to accord.

PLAYS WITH SPIRIT CHILD
Pretty Denver Tot Claims to Com.

Travellers from many states con.
tinue to come to see Corinne Alberta
Mayfeld, five years old, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. A. U. Mayfleld of 1866
Josephine street, Denver, who CON-
munes daily with "Margie," an imag-
mary playmate of the spirit world.
"Margie," Corinne says, lives above
the clouds. Together they dress their
dolls, cut out pictures, and play for
hours in childish pastimes. .
"Margie," whom Corinne describes
as being a mere child like herself,
has been the constant playmate Of
the Denver girl ever since she was
one year old, at which time she
first began to lisp the strange name.
The parents make no attempt at
solving the mystery, and many stu
dents Of psychology and local scien-
lists are puzzled over the case and
the remarkable psychic powers devel-
oped by the child at such an early
age.
Hundreds of letters have poured
into the Maytield home since the case
gained publicity, and many persons
have called either out of curiosity or

When the father Of Julia Everly set
his foot down as to his matrimonial
plans regarding her, Mrs. EVERY
meekly submitted to the dictum, and
Julia herself bowed her pretty head
to hide the tears and said, quietly
enough:

cities but here In Brandon it makes
me the 4eading man of the place. I've

young man whose means would add to
the family wealth, instead of one who
would use it up"

Her husband had been good deal Of

been elevated from a modest income
as a country lawyer to judgeship

Affection Causes Docs Death.


Natural affection on the part of q
dog was instanced in remarkable
manner at Beaumont, in the province
of Soane-et-Loire, France, a few days
ago. One of the Inhabitants drove out
of the town into the forest to gather
tirewood, taking with him the dog.
which he left to guard his coat and
basket of food while he wandered
about gathering wood. In his absence
the dog gave birth to three puppies.
and the wood gatherer, when he start
ed home, forgot to place the puppies
in the cart with their mother. During
the night the dog jumped over a fence
and ran the whole distance, some ten
miles, to the spot where the puppies
had been left, and brought one back
in her mouth. Then she made two
more journeys in order to bring back
the other two. Altogether she COW
cred distance of about sixty miles
in the night. The next morning her
master found her dead in the yard
by the side Of her puppies. which were
alive and well.
