Johnson Still Wins Smiles
OF Fortune; Gamers Money
In Six Years the Black Fighter Has Gathered in About
100000 and Has Fights in Sight to Make Many
Thousands More For Him, Besides His Con
tracts With Theatrical Companies.

tune is not only tickle and
- tIirtatious old girl but she isn't
at all particular on whom she smiles
Witness the case of her outrageous
Sinking at Jack Johnson a vain, lg-
nOrant immoral negro. who was, i
years ago. a slevee rOustabout at Cal
weston
For all that he has done for the
world since, Johnson might well have
remained one; yet fortune picked MN
out and here he is today on the high
way to a second accumulation OF
wealth
It's small wonder that men seek for
tune in the prize ring today, despite
all the drawbacks connected with the
game. One glance at the case OF John
Arthur Johnson and they slde-step the
cotton bales and the harvest fields and
run for the training camp

JohnsOn's case is particularly allur-
ing In 1908, up to the month Of De-
cember, Jack was just a busted"

inclination to whisky and large disin-
clinatiOn TO train He had a tremen-
also, he had a bunch that he was mas
ter Of all such cheese" champions as
Tommy Burns, the $50 pound misfit
who put one over on Marvin Hart, and
grabbed the championship
Johnson did whip Burns, as many
another heavyweight then or now
could have done He won but $4,000 on
that fight, and a little money IN side
best He also picked up the title and
that was the wedge that enabled him
to break into a game that had been
closed TO him by race barriers-the
mOney-making game

All this within a space of five years.
From hand-tO-mOuth existence
Johnson has been shunted into a six
cylinder living gait and no oil king
has lavished money on his needs and
vices like Johnson. He spent much of
the fortune that was left him by pre-
datory legal talent but is again on
the highway to wealth.
Besides his winnings on the Moran
fight, Johnson Will sign 10 fight sam
LangfOrd for an assured sum Of $50
600, win, lose or draw. The money
in gold is already on deposit. His
theatrical contracts, dependent on his
victory over Moran, but now made
certain, will net him as much more.

In addition there is every likelihood
that he will still be champion after his

Receipts for the week have been:
Cattle-372, Calves-9, Hogs-4662,
Sheep-32OO.
The quality of cattle offerings
have been good during the week,
the quantity however has not come
forward. Steers sold a 7.50, cows
at 6.25 and heifers at $50. De-
mand is good and trading keen.
Hog receipts this week have been
lighter than usual, this. with good
demand, has brought the price up
to 7.50 for tops, the highest price
in the United States at the present
time, eastern markets ruling in
some cases forty to fifty-fve cents
under Portland Market.
Sheep prices were fully as strong
this week as other lines of livestock.
Good grain fed lambs would no
doubt bring considerably more than
the present top of 1855, ewes and
wethers going at strong prices.

AS 1t Should Be

In the school house in Belleville,
Wis, a few evenings ago, upon
motion of the Catholic priest, the
Methodist minister was elected
president of the community's social
center for the coming winter.
Then three basket ball teams
were formed, including the priest,
the minister, the blacksmith, the
editor, a farmer, teamster, a
druggist, garage owner, the bank
err, the keeper of the village rest
aurant, dentist, a clothier, the
saloonkeeper, hardware merchant,
and house painter.
They differed in religion, in poll
tics, in income, in social status
about as widely as anyone can diff
er. But in the common school
building, in the free democracy of
the social center, they agreed to
lay aside their differences for the
novel purpose of discovering how
much good fellowship there was in
meeting together now and then, as
equals, as brothers.
In the democracy of play, in the
democracy of frank, fair discussion
of public questions they are finding
out, these differing men of Belle
vile, that, as human beings, they
are amazingly alike, once you get
below the surface.
And out of this agreeable discov-
cry will come, for Belleville, more
tolerance, more kindness, more
give and take than it had ever
known before. Even when they
shall differ again-as, of course,
they often Wilt won't be with
as much bitterness, as much bigo-
try, as much hate as of yore.
It's a wonderful solvent, is
brotherhood.
