. When the Worm Turned.

Recently man omitted to hand his tailor a feW chunks of silver in ex- change for good tOgs, and after wait ing a reasonable length of time the tsilor party sued for the amount of the bill.
 Thus it vas that he found himself on the witness stand one day with the insistent lawyer for defendant trying to establish the point that his client had three months in which to pay for the goods and that that time had scarcely elapsed.
 "Now. sir, MT. Tailor Man." merci- lessly continued the lawyer, had l bought those clothes instead of my client. would you have summoned me into court ar this early stage"
 "No. sir.'' was the prompt rejoinder of the witness.
 Good" smiled the lawyer. with a satisfied air And why not please?"

THE RULING PASSION.
Saving His Own Life Was a strictI,
 Business Proposition,

6uSIneSS Proposition.
 In the Wide World Magazine Mall cOlm Savage Preacher tells the story OT a German mountain climber who did not forget to be economical even in the midst of deadly peril. ...
 A party was crossing glacier on the slope of Mont Blanc when one of the travellers called to the others to stop and listen. Strange cries came from the ice beneath their feet.
 "Some one has fallen into a crevasse!' exclaimed one of. the party. His groans seem to indicate that he is aI- ready beyond help"
 eve must do what we can in any case," responded one of the guides, and he began a long and perilous descent into what proved to be the bosom of 8 concealed crevasse. At the bottom they found the poor gentleman who had fallen. He was, however, quite unhurt, sitting comfortably upon a bench of ice.
 We've come to save you," said one of the guides.
 "You save meY' answered the gen. tleman quite tranquilly. "How do you know want to be savedY
 Because you called to us for aid" said one of the bewildered guides.
 Perhaps I did," replied the German, ''perhaps I didn't. You came anyhow. Now, what'll yOQ take to rescue mel?
 And before he would allow the guideO to hitch him to the rope and drag him to the surface he compelled them to set down in writing the exact amount they would require for the perform ance of their life saving duty. He was a business man, whatever any one could say against him, and, moreover, he knew the guides of Switzerland.

Though he is not in official relation
with the school, his house is adjacent,
be is often engaged for special sery-

and counsel.
The efficiency of these teachers and
workers is attested by the reputation
of the school, which so largely de-
pends upon them, by the pure char
acte; and fine discipline OF the stu

feet away. At the expiration Of the
10 seconds a gong was rung. The
fallen man, not knowing how much
time he had left, got up as quickly as
he could when knocked down.
Under the present practice of
counting, the battler who has gone to
the mat turns to watch the referee.
On his knee, he can wait five, six,
seven seconds, as the case may be,
before rising, and then lunge at his
adversary, go down again and get
another period of recuperation,
knowing just how long to wait.
He is thus decidedly assisted. He
can stall. Otherwise he would resume
fighting as quickly as he could regain
his feet. And that is what the rules
contemplate
Nor has referee any right, &C
cording to the rules, to lay hands on
fighters. That's why never break
men in the clnches, but order them
to break -..

sort of public wallet with funds at
the disposal OF every camp follower
and down and outer who makes them
prey.
It's fifty cents here, a dollar there.
He is, unlike the business man, ex-
pected to lavishly entertain everyone
who halls him by his first name. He's
got to be a good fellow. If he spends
less than $500 a month he's rated as
a piker
What chance has he to gain sub
stantial foothold in any community?
To buy property, he's got to make
money in big sums. So rare is this
that when a successful fighter does
buy property valued at $4,000, let's
say, he gets million dollars worth OF
publicity.
Is it any wonder that most of them
become paupers-bums- after few
years of victory.
To me the thing that put the stamp
of real greatness on John L. Sullivan,
the most remarkable example of
comeback in this respect the ring
produced, is the fact that after he
was defeated he cut. out the booze
and educated himself so that he is
today credit to any circle he graces.
He whipped the thing that has made
so many of his ring-fellows buns.
A referee has no right to count the
seconds over a man when he's on the
mat. That is assisting the fallen bat
tier, as interpret the rules.
He must arise within 10 seconds
unaSsiSted.
The PROSTATE man has no more
right to know how much time he has
left before being counted out than he
has to ask the referee or timekeeper
how many minutes remain in given
