Joe Choynski worked on Sharkey in

stamina saved him. ,-...,
1t was at the time when Tom was
new man. He had beaten Il few of the
regulars, and then the big birds jump

Grcggains tried it first and failed, and

(Sharl,ey) in eight rounds.
Joe fought like a wildcat for three
rounds, used everything he had and

danced along until Tom was near a

Cans didn't really know whether it
was on the square or not and thought
more of the talk than he did of the
fight Consequently Kelly eased along
until the end without being harmed a
bit. The next time they met Joe plug

SUNDAY.

The custom Of the adoption Of chill
dren by married couples in Kansas is
growing. This is shown by the fact
that the demand upon the Kansas Chill
dren's Home society for children-par-
ticularly babies-is far greater than
the supply. Today the only youngsters
in the temporary receiving home at
III Clay street are three boarders.
The superintendent of the institution.
D. F. Shirk. did not say that this is a
sign of race suicide. In some families
where there are already several chill
dren youngsters are adopted; how
ever. in many instances married people
who have no children Of their own ap-
ply for kiddies. The desire to do some
thing for helpless children seems to be
growing.
1t is the small babies that are snap
ped up quickest. There are those who
do not care to know anything at all
about the parentage of the infants they
adopt. They prefer to be able to say
Il don't know to persons who might
ask questions. They like to get hold
of the children when they are babies
in order to mould their character from
the start. Then there Is no previous
training or lack of training to be un-
done.

So great is the demand. according to
the report. that many of the girls sail

by wireless as cooks and servants in
Australian households before their

men have been SO hard up for cooks
that they have gone out in tugs to
meet incoming vessels to make sure
that they have the first pick Of girls

following the landing of the immigrants

Mr.. Bowser whirled the chair

a result he pitched forward on the
floor with a crash that Jared the
house. Mrs. Bowser started to help
him to his feet, but he waved her
away, and struggled up. For half a

speak. Then he hoarsely exclaimed:

"But what have done ?" she asked.
"You couldn't expect to rock in a

pointed to the door.

"Did it ever occur to you what

suddenly asked Mr.. Bowser. as he
looked up from his paper the other
evening.
Mrs Bowser looked at him in an
anxious doubtful way and made no

Mrs. Bowser disappeared upstairs
without any word. She knew that If
she got up an argument Mr.. Bowser
would keep up his repairs until every
| piece of furniture in the house had
| been gone over. AS soon as she had
gone he got out his tool-box and glue
! pot from the basement closet and
stripped off his coat and vest for
work When he had looked the chair
over he decided that the rocker must

. him fifteen minutes to loosen 1t. and
by that time his glue was ready to
luse. It's the easiest kind OF Job
| to put on q rocker. All that n needed

The Job was finished In ten minutes,
and then Mr.. Bowser hunted for some
thing more. After q long search he
discovered that one Of tho doors OF
the bookcase 'sagged." He was glad
to see It. With the aid Of . screw
driver he removed both doors and
changed them about. He had just
finished his work when Mrs. Bowsef

NoRTHFIELD'S NEW MINISTER.
Clinton Lee Scott's Friends Expected
Him TO Go on Stage.

The Boston Herald has the following
to say about the Goddard graduate who
has recently accepted call to the Uni
versalist chnrch in Northfield
Clinton Lee Scott Of the Tufts Col
lege Divinity school yesterday discred-
tied the predictions OF his friends that
he would go on the stage by accepting
the pulpit of the Universalist church at
Northtield, Vt, incidentally becoming
the youngest tJniversalist minister in
the country.
Scott, who recently won fame about
Boston for his mastery presentation of
DIR. Stockmau in Ibsen's "Enemy of the
People given by the college dramatic
club, has had several offers to 60 on
the stage His belief, however, is that
although social problem plays are val
liable in arousing public interest in exist
ing evils, as means of fighting ugly
conditions the pulpit is the freest and
most direct approach to the masses.
Scott is firm advocate of Social Chris
tianity, the solving of social problems by
means of the teaching of Christ.
"While touring New England during
the Christmas recess as reader of the
Tufts college musical clubs, Scott
preached one Sunday at Northfield. His
frank and open manner won for him the
offer of the pastorate.
"Scott has been the reader of the mus
zeal clubs for the last four years and
has taken the leading roles in the last
three productions of the college dramat-
ic society. He is a member of the Theta
Delta Chi fraternity"
