Milwaukee-by-the-Bre will be the
scene of a boxing contest next week be-
tween Adolph woigast. erstwhile light
weight champion. and his successor.
Willie Ritchie. The reports emanating
from their training quarters are encour-
aging both boxers are conyalescing. and
they viii. IN all probability, be able to
enter the ring without the use Of
derrick.
Regardless Of which WINS. II will be
great day for the Germans.
Up to the present time there has been
nothing published regarding the condi-
tIons governing the contest, consequently
We are at a loss to know whether the
match will be at catch weights or the
regulation weight for the class.
Let us hope that Ritchie will conde-
scend to give Mcfarland a chance TO
box him while he Is in the humor TO
make matches On the dope" the VOL
CAST match looks like a set-up for the
Milwaukee promoters, inasmuch as
decision under the Wisconsin Law Is out
Of the question.
The Frisco promoters are sending their
new find. Billy Murray. along at pretty
rapid gate. Murray is matched with
Jimmy Clabby, a chap who is an excep-
tionally clever performer. The bout will
be staged at San Francisco. on April j.
over the Marathon route.

returns to Australia without having seen
him, ne may well consider his trip to this
country a failure.
Kid Williams. Of Baltimore. and Cham
pion Johnny Coulon are reported as being
matched to fight at Los Angeles.
Somehow the American sporting public
never enthused over a boxer who pro-
claimed himself a champion while the
real title-holder was too sick TO engage
in a championship contest 1t seems as
though Baltimore boxers have habit
of doing what Williams has done. Jake
Kilrain set the fashion. proclaiming him
self champion, when the mighty John l..
Sullivan was hors du combat. The eport-
ing public rejoiced when Sullivan whipped
the usurper. just as 1t viii rejoice TO see
Coulon retain his title when he meets

Varieties of Carbon,

The diamond. the graphite of my lead pencil, the plumbago with which polish the stove. the soot of my chim- ney and of my lamp are all chemically the same. All are variations of car bon. By analysis the diamond reduces to pure carbon and little iron. But given pure carbon and q little iron. can the chemist. by synthesis. pro- duce the diamond? Science says that he can. though the diamonds made in laboratories by the specialization Of carbon are, as yet, minute in size and commercially valueless Nevertheless they are true diamonds. and the proc ess of their formation is in miniature that of old Mother Earth when. with volcanic basin as seething crucible and toppling mountains as pressure force. the magic mystery of crystalli- zation of carbon went on silently and successfully in what are now the dia- mond beds of Borneo.

Successful Disappearance.

One of the most successful diSap- pearances on record was of William Howe. Howe was successful trades man in Jermyn street. and one morn ing in 17O6 he left his wife, telling her that he had business in the city. He never came back. and after some years an act of parliament was specially passed to enable Mrs. Howe to admin ister her husbands estate. Then one evening in 1723 the "w idow" received a letter requesting an interview. Mrs. Howe duly kept the superintendent discovered her husband. He had been living in disguise in the same neigh borhood all the time. he explained. and keeping close eye upon the move ments of his wife. It is said that the reunited couple lived happily ever aft erward.-London Standard.

SONG OF THE CARROT.
Where Is the Poet Who Will Glorify
 This Neglected Vegetables?

Where Is the Poet Who Will Glorify
 This Neglected Vegetable?
 Why does no poet arise to sing the song of the carrot. the hardest worked vegetable in the kingdom? Much is said in favor of the plethoric pumpkin, the gathering of corn is a common place theme. but the poor carrot has been neglected-yea. even scorned.
 For diversity of use the carrot has pumpkin and corn backed over the garden wall. Men feed carrots to cat tie. increasing the dairy output; they feed them to other stock sometimes. improving its temper. A carrot arti- icially hollowed with knife makes an elegant Japanese vase. Sufficiently hardened by harsh contact with the world, a carrot may be used for weapon. either operated like mallet with a handle or hurled like Russian bomb
 Carrots are sometimes even used for food by human beings. They are chief ingredient in vegetable soup. Mixed with butter. they improve it's color. They make better pumpkin pie than pumpkins themselves. Served as hubbard squash. they make one wonder why squashes were invented.
 The answer to the high cost of living cry is carrots. Johnson had his Bos- well. Whom will the carrot have?- Cleveland Plain Dealer.

MIRACLES OF FINANCE.

If one don't take life too serious ly, the spectacle afforded just no" by one John J. McDevitt in the city of Washington is at least worth slancing at over the shoulder as we go by.
 This is the same McDevitt, no doubt who, about a year ago, with few thousand dollars that he came by through lucky lottery ticket or some such way, went to New York bent upon spending it as rapidly as possi- ble, and, after a few bibulous hours on the great white way and a per fumed bath in an expensive hotel, re- turned to his home in Wilkesbarre apparently satisfied with the result, which included, of course, his picture in the New York papers.
 The story of how, on Wednesday he paraded up Pennsylvania avenue, led by the Marine band and followed by a statuue of himself which he pro posed to have placed in the Hall of Fame in the capitol building, labeled as "The Millionaire For Day." does not tell us whence came the new purse-plethora that enabled him to pay the bills for all this, but that he did have the money, assuming it to be true, is important.
 Where does this brand of mounte- bank get the cold, hard, substantial coins that to all others of us repre- sent toll, forethought, self-denial and a long chain of reasonable virtues?
 This McDevitt is evidently of that class of financial miracles and mys- teries of which Death Valley Scotty and Swiftwater Bill are distinguished examples, who, without brains, meth cd, system or purpose, run a blithe- some and aimless course through a striving, toiling, earnest world, their wallets replenished without effort of theirs as rapidly as they dissipate what is showered upon them.
 Gaining without effort all the bene- fit of system they know nothing about, they represent an unconnect- ed and undirected thread in the gen eral web of things, and as such afford a curiously interesting phenomenon Tacoma News.
