RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT SHUTS

ST. Petersburg Aug. 4.-The Russian

"a sect especially harmful to the state"

The action of the governments is attri-

BY PATRONIZING TEXAS JOBBEH
Or C. 8. Nems Scrrice.l

wy C.Is.ENCUS tStfFttf.)
Fort Worth, Tex. Aug. 1.-The Mon
Mig Dry Goods COMPANY of his city
shipped a ear load Of merchandise to
Robinson Mercantile Company of Grape
vine last week. While a shipment of this
size and nature is not unusual here it
shows what the merchants of this state
can save by patrOnizing Texas Jobbers.
The CIR contained Try GOODS ard notions
valued at over $4,000 which were solo
to the purchaser at Eastern prices. The
freight on the car from this city to
Grapevine was $40 while the transporta-
ton charge from 81. Louis would be
$294 and from Chicago 1924. The saving
on freight alone was 1874 besides the
saving of a trip to the Eastern market
that would have cost the buyer at least
an additional 500. Another matter that
enters in the transaction is the fac that
while a shipment would take at least
two or three weeks to come from the
North or East the car shipped from Fort
Worth reached Grapevine the next day.

QUIT PLAYING.

England is not going 10 participate in
eminent makes public no reason. for
this action. But there is a suspicion
something more than 4 ~suspIcioD--that
this is because of the f~rec-tOlls issue.
This government has not yet put itself
under the tutelage of Great Britain with
that cheerful a~lacrity that should char
a~cteriZe a raw people with Il new canal
anxious to learn how to use it. Eng
land having an inter oceanic ditch of
her own. and having some years axpe-
rience in the use of it ought to be able
to give any nation IA few pointers Oh the
subject of tolls and other incidents Of
canal operation. just at this moment she
prefers to hold herself aloof from the
canal festivities. To have an exhibit
there might compromise s3me present
claim. heaven knows what. or some flu
ture interest impossible to discover at
this time.
Also Germany will probably be among
the children who will not play with us
any more, not even when we get ready to
celebrate the worlds greatest engineer
ing feat. Germany does not like the pend
ing tariff bill ia some of its features. So
here we are. We have to settle who is
going to run this country. Shall we I'M
dertake it. or invite Japan. Germany and
Great Britain to come over and help us
for fear they get mad and come over and
smash us.
Perhaps this is IA rude, crude. undip-
lomatic way of stating the case. but it
states ii. The so1ner we state it clearly
to ourselves the better it will be for us.
We make q fatal mistake when We recog
nize the right Of any nation to mix up
with our national affairs. Especially do
we make Il blunder if we do not stand
pat on the proposition that the big ditch
is our ditch. made by our labor, planned
by our engineers and paid for by our
money.

In the August Americdn Magazine a
young married woman writes about her

George. Although the woman who writes
about him is very FOND of him she tells.
as follows. about one of Georges hab-
its:
He would scorns to peek or slip around
too quietly to be noticed.
But. on the other hand. he is not above
listening at doors. We have often caught
him listening at the dining room door
but he was not at all embarrassed when
discovered red handed. He is much inter
ested in all that goes on in the house and
often surprises me by mentioning matters
that / had thought the greatest of Sec
rets. If | had Il secret to tell my hubsand
[ should take him into the closet shut
the dOOr and then whisper it to him. And
nine time out of ten. next morning George
will ask me about it.
His ideas are more or less different
from ours. but nevertheless he is Il gen
tleman at heartpand has the delicacy
and gentleness that name implies, though
somewhat Oriental in application. For in
stance. l am alone with him for hours
and hours almost, every day and he
would scorn to do anything to cause me
any embarrassment."

Four Hard Struggles in the Ring.

and you may stand anywhere you
please"
Britt and Nelson went twenty
rounds in their first fight in San
Francisco and James was given the
decision Nelson, under Billy No
lan's management stopped Britt in
eighteen rounds on their second start
at Colma. In the third bout, in San
Francisco, Britt won the decision aft
er twenty rounds. The last time they
stepped ten rounds without a de-
cision at Los Angeles, and Nelson
was given the popular verdict. Britt
could not make weight in the South
ern California climate.
"Beefsteak Punch" Talked About.
Britt reminded Nelson of how sick
the Battier got in the third battle,
after which the Battler claimed a
beefsteak upset him. But admitted
he got licking that time, and Britt
offered to illustrate the "beefsteak
punch" for us. Il is nothing more
than good left hook, a delivery at
which Britt was an adent.
Then James Edward showed how
the Battler used to whale him in
the clinches, using both hands and
his head at the same time, and the
Dane displayed the blow with which
final combat. a right to the stomach
which started with Jim's left.
They were pair Of great ring
men in their heydey. They both
fought Joe Cans, Terry McGovern,
Young Corbett and the best in the
land at the time. They will go dowa
into history as two of our most IA
nous lightweights. Britt was recog-
nized as white champion until Nell
son beat him at Colma. and Nelson
afterward won the worlds champion
ship from Cans
Neither one of them cared much for
Cans. In their third battle, which
was not long after Cans won from
Nelson on a foul at Goldfield Cans
sat near Britt's corner and was
coaching the coast star. Britt was
winning, he knew how TO fight Mel
son, and he did not want Cans 10
get any OF the credit.
Cans Squelched by Both.
When Nelson heard Cans shouting
advice to Britt he ducked into a
ClinCh in the Britt corner and yelled
at the colored man:
After l get through whipping this
dude you climb in here and / will
trim you, too"
Then Britt turned on Cans:
"1 know how TO fight this fellow.
| Mind your own business"
So Cans got II from both sides,
even though trying to help Britt
Nelson and Britt are both pros
porous. They are two boxers who
became smart financially before they
quit the game. Neither will ever need
a benefit.

W. Hoppe to Play
French Champion

An international billiard match be-

autumn, practically is assured. Be-
cause the American champion had
played in academies in Paris the po-

spring refused to grant permission
to him to play in the French metrop-

Now, It is said the authorities have
modified their attitude toward Hoppe
to the extent he will be permitted to
engage in matches in Paris He will
not. however, be allowed to play in
an academy. Only citizens OF France
may play in academies.
