The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1914-02-12

Never mind, old chap! I'll tell
them all that you have had to go
away on business. Go somewhere and
get Strengthened out. You need it.
There's something wrong with you, or
you would never have gone to that
dinner where that ancient mariness
! could ogIe you the way she did.
"Well, you won't see me for week
or two
Drop me line if you want any
thing"
Jackson Jones went away early on
the following morning. AS ignorant OF
business and of business methods as
baby, yet he tried to scheme some
way by means Of which he might re-
coup his staggering finances. Wild
ideas, all impractical, whirled through
his brain.
He must have money, that was GER
tain. He had not the least idea OF
just how he had accomplished 1t, but
he had spent his patrimony-spent it
all and more than all of it. If he had
paid up the debts he oWed-Which all
the world seemed glad to have him
owe-that was the hard part of 1t;
everyone seemed anxious to have him
20 in debt to them--he would have far
| less than nothing left.
For days he stewed above his fig
ures in room of which he kept close
| guard upon the key He told Rankin,
who was curious, that he planned to
write book.
Indeed. sir? Fiction, sir?'
| Fiction? Cad, no! Fact"
"A book Of travel, sir? I've Travelled
quite bit Perhaps
mo. Or yes. Of travel up and down
Broadway"
"Splendd, sir, if I may be excused
for taking such liberty. I'm sure no
gentleman in all New York is more
familiar with the subject, sir. l shall
be glad to read it, sir. I'm sure 1t
will be quite a reVelatiOn!'
Rankin said Broadway earnestly
IF I wrote what I really know about
Broadway it would be a revelation
He grew very serious, for him. 1T
would pct some men on pedestals, and
they would not be those who now
stand highest. 1t would put some men
behind the bars, and among them are
some men who now are free to come
and 20. with welcomes when they
come and invitations when they leave
in every pace where people gather in
| this town"
He burst into sudden laugh. Great
stuff, en- Rankin? When you say
Broadway you stir me up. I love it
hate it; it always fascinates me
There's no street like it in the world
IF your book is like that, sir, il
will be a big success" commented
Rankin, spellbound. It's going to be
a fine book, MI Jones'
1T won't interest Broadway. There's
only one kind of book that Broadway
cares about
And what is that, sr?'
Check books, Rankin. Now I'm go
ing into-into-" He did not know
just what to call the room which b.
kept locked
Your study, sir?"
Thanks Rankin. Yes; I'm going t.
my study. Don't let me be disturbed.
"I'll not, sir"
When he left that "study" he avoid
ed Rankin. His fingers were ink
stained from calculations, his hair was
quite disheveled, his eyes were wide

best attractions among present. day hghtweights, and the fans always ex- pect plenty of action when this game Hebrew climbs through the ropes. Leach's brother, Phil Cross, can also put up a pretty fair article of boxing.
 Phil Brock, a Russian-Jew and a, native of the Czar's country, has whipped a number of good men, in cluding Matty Baldwin and Dick Fly land, and in 1912 he fought a draw with Willie Ritchie in Cleveland. Ben ny Kaufman, the featherwe1ght, and Charlie Goldman are among the other American Hebrew fighters who were born in Russia.
 Young Joseph, in his prime the star of English welterweights, is a Hebrew. Harry Lewis, who retired from the ring last year after ten years of hard milling, in which he climbed pretty near to the top of the midd1eweight ladder, is another gladiator who has added to the bellicose reputation of the Hebrews.
 Willie Beecher, who has made great reputation in the last year, and is popular with the fans from the At lantic to the Pacific, was born in New York of Hebrew parents. Harry Stone is another New York Jew who has made good in the ring.
 Battling Levinsky, the Philadelphia light heavyweight, is a Hebrew who has been one of the pugilistic sensa- tons of the last year..
 Another great Jewish boxer was Kid Herman, a native of Montreal who. about a decade ago, defeated such good men ast Austin Rice, Jack McC1e11a nd, Clarence Forbes and Ed die Hanlon, and fought tstwenty-round draws at Los Angeles with Ale At tell and AureIio Herrera. Herman was knocked out by Joe Cans at Tono- pah, New, in 1907, but a little later made Packey Mcfarland extend him self in fifteep-round contest in Dav- enport,~ Ia
 Dozens of other Hebrews might be named, who have made excellent ring records. Young Lustig, the New York lightweight; Danny Foodman, the western Hghtw eight; Eddie O'Keefe, the Philadelphia feath hefw eight; Al Nash, also of the Quaker City; John brew featherweight; Young GoIdie, the Pittsburgh featherweigh Sid Burns, the English e1terweight box CT; Sid Smith, fhe British f1yweight; Young Brown. the New York light weight-this by no means exhausts the list of game and clever Jewish box CTS.
 A majority of the Hebrew ring glad iators of the last quarter of century have been small men, and the feath- erweight and lightweight divisions have claimed a large proportion of them. Mendoza was the last as well as the first fheavyweigh hampton of the Hebrew race, and he was a small man compared with most of those he faced in the ring.
 When it comes to box-hghting. Mawruss. you've got to count the Jews ins

New York, in memory of their parents, was dedicated The services were simple in nature. At torney Klein presented the chapel to the association with a brief address and it was accepted by President Jos hua Me1tzer of the trustees.

 E The chapel is a handsome building of concrete and presents a simple, digni- fled and attractive appearance. The outside and inside. fnishings are in keeping with the general makeup of the building. Memorial windows of costly stained glass and beautiful con struction allow a subdued light to be shed about the costly furnishings in side. Above the main facade is the six pointed star known as the shield of David and one of the most cherish ed symbols of the Jewish faith. Over the porte-cochere to the left is a bronze tablet upon which appears the following inscription: Erected in low ing memory of Bernhard and Mary Klein by their sons, Jacob B. and Mil ton Klein

AN INTERESTING DISPLAY.

The best time and the best place to buy housefurptshings is when and where you have the widest choice of selection. The Nothnagle store claims this distinction right now, having re- ceiyed enormous shipn ents of all kinds of interesting merchandise to stock their spacious store and new annex adjoining. There are literally hun dreds of new things in the store, and every one of these offers some al1ur- ing suggestion of usefulness in your home. Walking through the store now is almost like walking through an exhibit of the latest output of Ameri- can manufacturers. Even if you do not want to buy anything now, it would be a splendid idea. for you to go in and look around. It is part of woman's duty to familiarise herself with modern household equipment and you ought to know about these new things. It will save you confusion and worry later on when you are ready to purchase Test this plan It has, proven beneficial to others. con- densed outline of what you may ex- pect to see is given in Nothnagle's ad- vertisement on last page.-Adv.

PREPARING To CELEBRATE
"GOOD:ROAOS DAY"

Friday. May the sth is Good
Roads Day in Colorado. Already
Preparations are being made In many
parts OF the state for the celebration
OF this day, and Governor Ammons
by official proclamation has urged
the citizens OF Colorado to devote
that day to work on the roads.
someof the suggestions made for
the observation of the day are that
citizens generally turn out and see
that their roads are put in better
shape by means of dragging and by
a general cleaning up of rights of
way. For the tourists who will visit
the state II is urged that Colorado
people. especially those residing in
the mountain districts devote some
time on Good Roads Day" TO look
ing after camping sites. the marking
OF roads and the posting OF signs
wherever necessary.
According to the statutes school
teachers are also required to devote
certain amount of tife on this day
to telling their scholars of the bene-
fits Of good roads. and they must
later report to the State Highway
Commissioner what has been done
in this regard.
In many OF the counties OF the
state those committees having in
charge the petitions for tho initia-
tion of the half mill levy for good
road purposes in the state, plan to
make special erots on May 10 se-
cure the requisite number OF sigma.
lures required in their respective To-
calities. II is hoped to secure in
each county In the state the sigma
lures Of least ten per cent OF the
voters to the petitions. II this is
done the petitions when filed win
contain many more names than the
law actually requires. It IL planned
to have these petitions fiiea with
