Strenuous Life.

When man discards the pruning
hook, and takes up gun or saber,
determined. in his heart, to cook
the gander of his neighbor; when
he elects to turn his face to ruin,
wreck and ravage. he shows that
he, with all his grace, is still at
heart savage. He talks about
the boon Of peace-an ear his
country lends him-and then he
goes to knock the grease from
some one who offends him. He
swears by all the saints above
that warfare shocks and gals
him. and he'll support the White
Winged Dove, whatever i'll be-
falls him: then some one steps
upon his toes, which makes him
yearn for slaughter, and he pro-
ceeds to tear his clothes, and
grabs his sword and swatter. Is
there an army in his path? You
see him hack and hew it. still crv-
ing. IN his noble wrath. my
neirhbors drove me to it," While
welding snickersee and creese,
he says he is nrartvr; he claims
he is prince of peace. while act

neighbors tire of tricks beyond
excuse or pardon, and so they
break his head with bricks and
plant him in his garden. The
boon of peace! The human
hordes will praise it loud and
louder. and as they praise they'll
grind their swords and manufac-

SEA-LIONS POPULAR AT zoo
Perform Wonderful Feats of Diving
and Fish-Catching at Feed
ing Time.

London.-Of all the animals in the
geological gardens. none are more pop
ular than the sea-lions, especially at
their feeding time, when they perform
wonderful feats of diving and fish
catching. Their appetites are ap.
parently Unsuitable. and they are ready
to give a special performance at any
moment. The problem of feeding
them during the present time, when
the fish supply from the North sea
may be cut off. is likely to be se-
rious one. When racing through the
water. the sea-lion progresses by
series of long semi-dives of a very
snake-like character, and it has been
suggested that the appearances of the
"sea-serpent" may be due to this ami
NAL. The sea-lions belong to the Ota-
riidae or cared seals, which include
from the true seals and walruses by
having a small external ear. Their
hind limbs also are turned forwards
and outWards, and are of greater serv-
ice than in the other groups of seals.
Like the fur-seals, the sea-lions form
colonies together at the breeding sea-
son, and a quaint account of them at
that time is given by Pennant in his
History of Quadrupeds" Q793): "The
females make e noise like calves:
the young like lambs. The males fire.

AlhambrA, Cal.-While Chief Parker
vas attempting to search the pockets
of suspicious-looking stranger the
man suddenly threw a handful of pep
per in his face and escaped after an
exciting chase by the officer.
The attention of the chief was direct
ed to the stranger, whom he saw hang
mg about home on Dos Robes place,
where 1t was known that the occu-
pants were away. In answer to the
officers questions the man said he was
looking for the residence of a physi-
clan nearby and willingly accompanied
Parker to the house.
No one was at home and a hand
some walrus suitcase that the man
was carrying aroused the doubts of
the officer, who started to search the
man, pulling out of one pocket a
bunch of skeleton keys and from an
other gold watch and diamond
ring. 1t was while diving into an
other pocket that the man struck
Parker in the face with his hand full
of pepper and, dropping the suitcase.
started to run.
Although blinded by the pepper and
suffering intensely, the chief aroused
the neighborhood by firing two shots
after the fugitive which only made
him travel faster over fences and back
yards, the officer in close pursuit, un.

grove and made his escape. presum-

Freddie Welsh is lightweight with
an international reputation, but he is
liable to be easier for Champion Willie
Richie than was Charlie White.
Which is fortunate for Richie.
Welsh is clever, as good boxer as
there is in the game. But he lacks a
decisive punch, such as White pos
sesses. Welsh will make himself hard
to hit, but Richie can wade into him
with the knowledge that he can take
more chances in order to break down
the Briton's defense.
If Welsh wins, it will hardly be by
a knockout. His speciality is defense,
with a well directed jab at the proper
time to slow up his opponent. Rit-
chic has never-been fighter to slow
up for jabs. 1t takes hard blows to
stop him.
Unless Richie scores knockout,
the decision should be draw. Welsh
with his unusual cleverness will be
able to offset the rushing tactics of
the American, when it comes to figur-
ing up the points.
The result of the fight should be
in Chicago by 4:30 this afternoon.
The fight starts at $3.50 in London,
which is $3.50 by our clocks.
