HEARD BILLINGS ON MILK.
Old Dairyman Tells of Coin to
} Hear His Lecture in Hopes Of
Getting Points on the
Business. ,

(Kansas City Timesl
They were talking about Josh Bill
ings.
Yes. I heard Billings lecture once
said an elderly nan who hadn't taken
, much part in the conversation in the
smoking car.
81 was trying to make a living out
of a little dairy near ST. Louis. 1
wasn't much of a dairyman, being new
to the business and when I saw in the
newspaper that Josh Billings. the emil
nent New England lecturer. was going
to give his famous lecture on Milk l
hailed it with delight. I paid a dollar
for a ticket close up to the stage.
When l reached the theater it was
nearly crowded and it looked to me as
if the audience was made UP OF dairy
men like myself. All around me were
milk dealers that l knew, wearing Sc
ious and expectant looks.
Billings came III on the stage. He
looked like he ought to know all
about cows and milk. He was awk-
ward, his clothes didn't fit we'll and
ne wore a pair of old time spectacles
set far down on his nose. There was
a table at the front of the stage with
a chair behind it. Billings sat down
peering over the top of his eye-gog-
hles at the audience. There was a
litter from some quarters which pro-
voked me a little. Billings cleared his
throat with a good deal of noise and
paused. We dairymen settled back in
our seats for a treat. Billings began
in a regular Yankee drawl, something
like this:
The subject Of my lecture is Milk
'-M-i-l-k. The best thing 1 EVER saw
on milk was cream
Now. You can believe me or not"
continued the old dairyman. but I
want to say to YOU that I sat there for
two solid hours listening to Billings as
intently as I ever listened to anyone.
but after that n little joke about the
cream he never made a single refer
ence to milk or anything pertaining to
milk. 1t was just a rambling dis
course on nothing in particular. full
of fool jokes and stories. I never saw
a more disguised lot than those dairy
men, who. like myself, had plunked
down a dollar to hear what the%
thought was a dairy expert talk on
Mix"

Wants DAMAGES
FROM RAILROAD
Young Man, Elected by Con-
ductor, Seeks $1,000
as Balm.

Glare Fl. Henton. a North Dakota
subject. has started suit against the
Great Northern railroad for $4,000
damages for eiectment from a train,
and for false arrest.
Henton had engaged to work for
the Great Northern at Havre. Mont,
and was enroute there when trouble
arose on the train between himself
and the train conductor, who refused
to honor his pass.
At Devils Lake he left the train to
purchase a ticket for Montana. bu.

that he is in better shape now than
ever and he is ais getting the benefit
of sparing with Jack Dougherty, the

The claim that Gunboat Smith is
the white champion Of America does
not hold good. There was a dispute
about the late Luther McCarty hold
ing the title after he had defeated all
the men sent against him in the elm
ination contests and for which Tom
my McCarey of Los Angeles gave him
a belt emblematic Of the champion
ship. When Arthur Pelky, the Ca
madam. stopped McCarty in the first
round. the latter dying as a result Of
the encounter, whether by accident or
blow, the fact remains that Pelky
really became the white champion of
America. Neither Jess Willard nor
Gunboat Smith had any right to an

ness to defend the same. Tommy

ten rounds and they are billing it as
a title match. Let tho winner, If there
is one, challenge Pelkey for a match
n then he can claim that he Is en-
gaging in a real championship con-
test.
False reports are frequently given
out regarding matches for the simple
reason that they happen to be node

ers send out reports of the battles to
why it would be much better If de-
cisions could be given at all times. L
received a letter from q newspaper
friend in Winnipeg the other day in
which he stated that the reports given
out about the Caponi-Hicks fight were
badly garbled. ut was a very poor
fight at times" writes this friend, but
toward the end, that is before the foul
it became quite lively and would have
no doubt developed into a good con-
test, but at that point Caponi hit
Hicks low n the bout ended in the
seventh instead of the twelfth. The
foul was u%nintentional without a
doubt, but some reports sent out said
that Caponi had been awarded the
verdict. The fact is no decision were
given here and in his case the bout
would go to Hicks on a foul. There
have been many other such reports
sent out from here about fights, all of
which do harm to the game instead
of helping It."
