DATRICK MFARLAND was born
L in Chicago on November l, 1883.
He began boxing profes sionallN
when sixteen years Of age, SO now
he has been a fighting man for
nine years. In that time he has
made himself one of the cleNerest
and most successful men in his
class. and were he few pounds
lighter would have an excellent
chance to win the lightweight title.
The stockyards boy has had more
than a hundred fights and has
never been Knocked out. The ma
jolity of his early contests were
won through the agency of his own
good knockout punch, but as he
gained in cleverness he lost" this
punch and today is well satisfied
to win on points.
~ s..
IT HOUGH nine years is fairly
long time for man to keep
fighting without going back, the
Chicago boy is not only not slip
ping" but is improving. In his
fights with clever men like Brit
ton, owen Moran and Tommy Muir
ply. he proved that he could box
with the best, and in other battles
he has shown time and time again
that when slugging is in order he
is never backward.

boxer, and on that account a great
rival of Packey, the latter evident

first round. For three minutes the
lads stood off and swapped punch
es. Thomas appeared to be little
off in his judgment of distance and
at the bell a right hook that landed
hard on the jaw just did give the
Pelican an even break.
In the second round Thomas
opened up with everything in ms
battery. He worked into close
quarters and ripped UP two right
uppercuts that hurt O'Keefe. AS
they broke Thomas worked a right
hand half-pivot wallop to the wind.
Four times did Joe jab without
return and then as O'Keefe came in
with lowered head, Thomas caught
him with a terrible right to the jaw.
A straight left opened a cut on
Thomas lip.
The third round opened with
Thomas shooting three lefts to the
head and at close quarters two
Tights TO the SlOllldCll' tlOIilelS
then jabbed seven times and
O'Keefe couldn't seem to fathom
any way to stop the punches. A
hot mix in the center of the ring
belonged to Thomas.
Thomas swung both hands to the
head in the fourth and O'Keefe
covered. Then Thomas opened
bombardment that looked as though
it would surely stop the Quaker.
But Tommy weathered the storm.
O'Keefe swung a left low and Ref
cree Saul cautioned him. In an
other exchange O'Keefe again hit
low, but it was an accident and the
boys shook hands. At the bell
Thomas swung a terrible right to
the jaw and O'Keefe was a bit
groggy as he went to his corner.
The fifth round found both boys
willing to do most of their milling
head to head. The round was fast,
but the blows landed were hard to
see. Thomas had O'Keefe weak

L IGHTING, even Mcfarland ac-

be a captain of industry. but when
he determined to make a business

TOE THOMAS, a black haired

TOE THOMAS, a black haired
lad from New Orleans, gave
- a championship exhibition of
boxing at the Orpheum theater,
when he defeated Tommy O'Keefe,
a game, stocky young man from
Philadelphia, in the fastest ten
round bout ever seen in this part
of the good old L. S.
O'Keefe was on the receiving end
of a continuous bombardment for
seven of the ten spasms. In three
sessions he held the wiry, fast and
hard hitting Pelican even. The
first, eighth and ninth rounds were
even. The others were Thomas by
city block.
n his battle with Frank Whitney
Thomas displayed a heap of
good boxing ability. But last night
he was just twice as good as he
was against the Fighting Carpen-
ter He was faster, hit straighter
and his blows carried more snap.
At range he boxed with the clever
ness of an Attell. In the clinches
he displayed all the famous quail
ties that made Joe WalCott buga-
boo to champions.
O'Keefe has two lightning fast
hands, but fast as he would Jab
with his left or cross with his right
Thomas nine times out of ten beat
him to the punch. Joe didn't have
to block Tommys leads. Instead
he simply got his own blows home

may be called such.
Thomas has as good a pair OF
legs as he has hands, He stepped
around O'Keefe as though he was
bantam, and lefts and rights, some
straight and others hooked kept
battering off OKeefe's head and

TAX BOARD FOR
EXENP T|ON PLAN
Bishop Nelson Urges School
and Church Trust Funds Be
Freed of City Levy.

Bishop C. X. Nelson's request that
trust funds held for church and school
purposes be exempted from taxation,
has met with the approval of the tax
committee and doubtless will be grant
ed by the city council this afternoon
A. R. Colcord, member of the tax
committee, authorized to get a legal
opinion on the subject, asserts that he
does not believe the city will tax church
and school property.
81 don't think the city's tax ordi-
nance will stand in the way of remov-
ing the taxes on trust funds" he said
A resolution asking the state legisla-
ture to remove the heavy license tax
now assessed against peddlers will be
passed in an effort to keep vendors from
lodging city taxes by petitioning coun-
Gil as tndigents.
Vendors have protested that the state
and city take taxes, taken in conjunc-
ton, are prohibitive. After paying the
state tax of $50 yearly, they maintain,
they can not pay the city taxes
Members of the tax committee are
of the opinion that the state tax is too
high and that some arrangement should
be made whereby peddlers could pay
an equal tax to state and city.
Alderman McClelland, chairman of
the tax committee, will begin his fight
for the equalization of taxes by asking
council to appoint a special committee
to go over the assessments McClel-
land declares that an assessment of
$5O,OO0.0O0 additional should be made on
centrally located property to accom-
plish any sort Of an equalization of
taxes.

MAY BE BEAUTIFUL AT FORTY
Woman's Complexion and Figure Can
Be Preserved by Proper Diet
and Fresh Air.

Women should be specially careful
to choose the right diet. For the
sake of her beauty, if nothing else,
woman should choose the right
amount of nutritive foods, and avoid
the temptations Of overeating. Coars-
er bread, more fruit, less meat and
especially moderation, or total abstl-
nence, in the use of tea and coffee
will secure relief from the all too re-
tarded action of the digestive organs
which is the curse of SO many women
who lead sedentary lives. No woman
who eats properly and gets plenty OF
fresh air and exercise will have a
poor complexion nor get too fat; nei-
Their will she suffer from nerves and
hysteria.
The woman who lives right, thinks
right and works right may be more
beautiful at forty or sixty than at
twenty, and the preservation of the
divine gift of beauty is duty that
no woman should neglect for her
own sake and the sake of the world
about her.-Woman's Home Com
panion.
