CLABBY CARD
IS OUT TODAY

Final arrangements are being COM
pleted for the Clabby -Zanders ten
round no decision go to be held at the
Hammond theater Thursday evening.
Feb. 81. With the announcement of
the card today the bouts preceding the
main attraction will be the classiest
that have ever been seen in this vicin-
ity and should draw an attendance that
will pack the theater from the ring
side to the peanut gallery.
Complying with the orders of Chief
Austgen of Hammond, the promoters
secured the services of six plain
clothes men from Chicago yesterday
afternoon, who. with an extra squad
OF Hammond police. Will see that no
sneak thieves slip into the hall. Each
participant on the card will be COM
PEELED to undergo a thorough physical
examination at least % hours before
the fight and the physicians report
turned over to Cheif Austgen. The
bouts will be run under the bylaws
adopted by the Indianapolis police and
boxing commission.
Intense is the interest that is being
taken in the outcome of the Clabby-
Zanders tilt. While the boy printer is
rounding into shape at O'Connelrs
gymnasium in Chicago. Clabby is doing
daily training stunts in Hammond.
without q doubt the main attraction
will be one of the cleverest exhibit
tions Of boxing that has ever been seen
in the radius of 100 miles. Clabby. who
is postmaster in every trick. punch
and step Of the roped arena, will go up
against a boy that is equally as clever
and it Is evident that some mixing will
be done.
One Of the new and pleasing features
that will be seen at the Hammond the
alter on that evening will be a seven
piece orchestra which will furnish
plenty OF musical selections between
the bouts. The balance of the program
will be:
Curtain raiser-Richie and Riley of
South Chicago, six rounds.
Preliminary-Young Bishop and
Young Ole, six rounds.
semi windup-Eddie Clabby of Ham
mond and Dutch Hendron of South
Chicago. eight rounds.

1t is a curious thing that a speaker
will taken an audience into his conf
dence to a degree impossible with
even the closest friend If we want
to know a mans inmost mind on the
highest subjects in the world, we have
to go to his books or hear some dis
course of his. There is a reserve that
seems to tighten the nearer We ap-
proach each other, and release itself
when we are in the presence of u
fellow-creatures. To this anomaly
we W the fact that the Injunction
of Jesus as to secrecy in prayer may
be fulfilled in public worship. In the
presence of a common humanity bent
on the same purpose the secrets OF
mems hearts have been brought into
prayer. Enter into thy closet" be-
comes a spiritual direction, and in the
public sanctuary men find themselves
praying in secret as nowhere else.
What lifelong intimacy will not bring

one, though a stranger. who speaks Of
things too private for personal con-

What Failure Means.

Have you ever felt that all your ef-
forts have been of no avail? and that.
however hard you have tried, you
must know at last that you have
failed? But when there m a time
when you can be alone with God. have
you not seen that he can bring again
FROM the dead all our decayed hopes
and stupeied ambitions? and cause
to bloom again the flower of unself-
Job achievement? He has come walk
ing in the cool of the day; he tar
ries long after the fevered conditions
of iife's exacting sun have made their
inroads. and when the shadows of
evening fall. He is there to say. IL
we have risen from failure to meet
him coming to US, that it is well. and
that, though we have been cast down,
we shall o utterly fail"

From Calling Their Wares.

St. Petersburg.-As one moves
about the streets, he is struck most
of all by the wasteful use of space.
1t is at once apparent that Petersburg
never slowly evolved from embryonic
beginnings. But it would be unwise
to proceed further in describing Pet
ersburg's streets without noting the
fact that she has two kinds of streets,
namely, the Nevsky Prospect and
others. An ordinary "oolitza" or
street except late in the afternoon
(when Petersburg wakes up!), is a
semi Oriental sight. Save on court
holidays, when each house is required
to hang out the national flag, there
Is no color in the streets, the houses
are dun colored and m%onotonously
alike. There are no hills, no small
homes, no large ones-just huge, hu-
man hives with courts in the rears,
and icons constantly lit by tiny oil
lamps in the front.
There is little noise. No crowds
gather; the newsboys are not allowed
to call their wares; bands, hand or
gans or street vendors seldom dis
turb this solemn city of the north.
Even the tram cars creep by noise
lessly; they are "curve-squeal" and
rattle proof.
All, but how different, kaleidoscope
Nevsky Prospect! 1t is the Fifth ave

than three miles long, it is yet one
of the worlds really unique highways.
There Is nothing like 1t elsewhere.
Some visitors come and go; others
stay; but foreigners never seem to
weary of gazing upon this peculiarly
varied, marvelously cosmopolitan
sight. Over the spacious wooden
pavement between the two low banks
of glittering stores, flows a motley
stream of traffic. Here the ends Of
the earth seem to meet. Everybody
from everywhere rushes hither and
thither. Red French automobiles,
their horns singing t%uneful, metallic
ditties, swerve and dodge about
ragged peasants bearing burdens with
wooden shoulder yokes or driving
primitive, homemade carts. Royalty
appointed equipages, Haunting purple
plumes and golden braid, prance Sc
dately by, while continually up one
side and down the other pours a
