F. Welsh Has Yet to
ShOlU Real Class

Reports from Boston state that
Freddie Welsh, by the decisive man
ner in which he outpointed Matty
Baldwin last night, convinced every
one OF his right to the lightweight
championship of the world. That's
stretching things q bit. even though
we all are willing to admit that
Welsh is one Of the classiest boxers
that ever donned q glove. Freddie
may be the best In the business, but
the mere fact that he beat Baldwin
does not prove 1t. Matty no longer
classes with the topliners, and II had
been generally expected that he would
be only toy in Welsh's hands. The
bout was nothing more than warm
up for the champion, but there are
harder contracts ahead-his matches
with Ad Wolgast and Charley White.
He may get by with Wolgast in fairly
smooth style, but he will be forced
to uncover all he has in stock when
he stacks up against White.

At Home-Andrew Carnegie tell:
how. until a comparatively recent date
the old time Scotch prejudices were
retained by the hardheaded profes'
sors at the University of Aberdeen.
There was a certain Professor Cam
eron who had a weakness for the re-
finements and minor graces of life; so
lust after "at home" cards became
fashionable, one of the driest speci-
mems of the old professional regime
was the recipient of missive from
Cameron which read as follows:
professor and Mrs. Cameron pre-
sent their compliments to Professor
Pirie, and hope that he is we'll. Pro-
fessor and Mrs. Cameron will be at
home on Thursday evening, the 18th
instant, at 7.3O o'clock"
The crusty old chap referred to re-
piled as follows:
professor Pirie returns the comph-
ments to Professor and Mrs. Cameron
and begs to inform them that he is
very we'll. Professor Pirie is glad to
learn that Professor and Mrs. Gamer
on will be at home on Thursday even
ing, the 18th inst, at 7.9O o'clock. Pro-
fessor Pirie will also be at home"

Government census takers are sup
posed to procure answers to score of
questions from each individual in the
country and a card for each person is
punched with holes to indicate the
answers given to those questions.
These cards are sent to the census Of
nee.
They are sent through a highly-spe-
cialized machine, which records the
facts indicated by the holes in the
cards. and these facts are then made
up into tables.
When the tables are interpreted and
their meaning set forth, we are able to
find out. for instance. the number OF
women workers in the country, the
number of people living on farms, the
number of illiterates the number of
foreign born, and a thousand other
facts of vital significance. which ma =
ton must know about itself in order

WONDERS OF THE AMAZON
More Light on a Region In the Public
Eve THROUGH RooseveIt's Visit.


AS NJ. DeF'aria, who contributes the
introduction to this book, writes, there
| is probably no region of the world in
which nature wears so rich and lux
| urious a garb as in those lowlands
through which the mighty Amazon
winds it's course. Primeval forests of
| majestic trees. a rich. thick under
I growth, insects and birds of rare
beauty, deadly reptiles and fierce
beasts, all combine to make it the fit
ing setting for adventure and romance.
Here Nature holds her most intimate
secrets for science to discover, but alas
she also offers rubber and docile ma
tives for exploitation by the soulless
capitalist.
1t was Mr.. Woodroffe's evil fate to
be enmeshed in the rubber industry,
! and the book is largely the story of
what he saw and what he endured
when he was in those tolls, and of how
at last he escaped from them. He is
StudiouSly moderate, as becomes man
who has been compelled to look on in
silence at outrages he was powerless to
prevent. but in his moderation there is
most convincing proof that the horrors
of the Putumayo are no fiction, but
ghastly, hideous truths. But we pre-
fer to turn to the many wonders of
this fascinating region as they were
seen by the author.
Mr. Woodroffe went birds nesting
in some sand holes:
After removing a quantity of sand,
placed my arm in the hole, and felt
what appeared to be the tail of a small
alligator. | dug away with renewed
zeal and after a few minutes was
startled by the inhabitant OF the hole
dashing out and running at good
pace toward the water. | started in
pursuit but could not catch him. On
rejoining the party, l recounted my
The story was greeted with roars of
laughter and remarks about river
chicken" 1t was subsequently eX-
planned to me that l had dug out n
ldISt SIteI a SpNNiSS VI i"''i w.
about three feet long. which is largely
eaten and is not easily distinguished
from chicken. The color of the flesh,
it's taste and the similarity of the
bones makes it an easy matter to in
duce one to believe that he has par
taken of a fowl. when in fact, he has
eaten the flesh of a reptile.
Naturally there came n day when
his canoe upset and he found himself
in the river with two alligators. one
above and one below taking the keen
est interest in his plight. His cries
brought friends to the rescue. and
these friends. in their anxiety and en-
citement. nearly shot him instead of
the alligatOrs.
After being lost in the bush. Mr..
Woodroffe was rescued and taken
charge of by an Indian tribe. among
whom he saw many strange and curl
Gus customs. In this tribe a young man
who desires a wife has to prove his
capacity to maintain her, by fighting
all her other admirers, besides any
champion her father may see fit to
nominate.-London Globe.

you have never uttered word OF

What He Did.--A little town boasts
a church whose pastor, besides being
an eloquent preacher, is man of stall
wart proportions, says the Pittsburg
dispatch At one of his evening pray
er meetings the services were disturb
ed by two young men who audibly
scoffed at everything they saw OF
heard. Finally the pastor remonstrat-
ed with them on their behavior and
asked them why they had attended the
meeting.
I'VE came to see miracles perform
ed" imprudently replied one of the
rascals.
Leaving the pulpit and walking
quietly down the aisle, the minister
seized one after the other by the collar
and as they disappeared out of the
door with an imprint of his boot, re-
marked: We don't perform miracles
here, but we do cast out devils"

the London Daily News, for in the

celebrated Fletcher runic stone, dis
covered near Yarmouth. n. s., by DR.
Fletcher more than 100 years ago. is
now displayed
on this stone strange characters car

than fifty years bafiled the leading
scientists throughout the world. 1t was
left to Mr.. Henry Phillips, Jr., of Phil
adelphia, to decipher the mysterious
inscription. which he found represent
ed the words, "Harkussen Men Vara.
Harki's son addressed the mem.
Searching through ancient writings
Mr.. Phillips found that in an cXpedi
ton OF Norsemen which left Green
land in the year 1907 the name of
Harki occurred. This expedition con-
sisted of 100 men in two ships under
the leadership of Thorlinn Kariselfno
and Biorne Grimolfsen, took all kinds
of live stock with them for the pur-
pose of establishing n coloney in Vim
land (Massachusetts). But on their
way they landed and partially eXplor-
ed Nova Scotia (Marklan6.
To celebrate the event Harki, one of
their chieftains, addressed his follow
ers. and apparently this stone was in
scribed in cOmmemoratiOn of the
event. 1t was recently shipped from
Nova Scotia in order to be given the
place of honor in the Centenary eXhi-
bition of Norway which opened in
Christiana on May Is.
