Early pioneers in Wisconsin can east
" remember the odd, mysterious sound
made by prairie chickens. Early morn
ing was the best time for hearing them.
The sound could frequently be heard q
mile away. 1t is said that initiating an
air sack and emptying it again makes
the peculiar sound. They had their
favorite places for congregatng, and
the ground would be worn bare and
hard by their tramping. They loved g
fallen tree and its trunk would become
smooth by their feet. The males of
the flock liked to strut about spreading
their pretty tails and scraping their
wings. playing a variety of antics
The birds were very Shy about their
performances and the barefoot boy of
the farmer could. by his best efforts
get little more than a glimpse Of whir-
ring wings as the flock sought other
hiding places. 1t took even man of
science long to discover the habits of
this interesting bird The prairie hen
furnishes delicious food and has been
ruthlessly hunted for this reason From

woods, the prairie hen has become

Built Without Nails.

Without the use of nails an entire
village of houses has been built in
Alberta, Canada. These houses have
been built by Ruthenian immigrants
and their architecture is novel. The
first attempts at house building are
usually Of the kind they had been ac-
customed to in Europe and their build
ings are Of the typical Ruthenian style
log, pitch roof, matched and wide at
the caves In many cases these build
ings are put up without a dollars
worth of hardware. The floor is OF
hewn logs. unnailed The roof, as the
favorite Russian roof always is, is a
wonderful fabric of poles and cross
woven wheat straw, ten inches thick,
packed tight and solid and laid with
such care that it win shed the weather
for twenty years.

Just how good Knockout Brown
is and how greatly he is feared by
other boxers is shown by his expe-
rience with Ad Wolgast. When
Ad was champion Brown was keen
for bout. Finally Brown cornered
Wolgast and they went on in a
siX-round engagement in PhiladeI-
phia, where decisions are not al
lowed. Brown showed up the
champion. Less than a month later
they tried it over in New York. and
Wolgast got such a beautiful lacing
that he couldn't be bought or ca
Joled into meeting Brown again,
IL he wasn't afraid, then he lust
figured he couldn't afford to take
the chance.
Knockout Brown meets worthy
opponent in Jake Abel. This lad
has shown well, not only with Sec
ond-raters but with good lads like
Joe Mandot and Frank whitney.
He has a larger following in At
lanta than any lightweight who
ever boxed here.
The bouts next Friday are solely
for the benefit of the Atlanta Grays
and the Capital City Guards. Every
cent of profit will be used for the
fund which is to pay the expenses
of sending these two companies to
take part in the parade and the
other ceremonies in connection with
the inauguration of Wilson.
