with many voices-first, the one of my
personal salvation, and then of the sal
walton of the thousands in my ministry.
Here, in moment, lived over my life
and built new memorial in my soul,
and caught vision of the whole path
way from sin to holiness, from conse-
Grafton to victory and reward.
My first tour among former charges
being ended, l returned to Brooklyn on
May 5th, hoping soon to visit Norwich,

The odor of cloves has been known
to destroy microbes in thirty-fye min

in twelve minutes, thyme in thirty
five minutes In forty-fve minutes
common wild verbena is found effec-
tive, while the odor of some geranium
flowers has destroyed various forms
of microbes in fifty minutes. The es-
sence of cinnamon is said to destroy
the typhoid fever microbe in twelve
minutes and is recorded as the most
effective of all odors as an antiseptic.
1t is now believed that flowers which

tie. The hand was useless, but Bob
didn't let Gardner know. At the open
of each round Bob would swing with
his right, making sure that the right
wouldn't land, but making it look to
Gardner as if he really was aiming
the punch at him. Fitz fought Gard
ner with one hand during nearly ten
rounds of the fight and Gardner never
knew it. Fitz's ruse won for him.
Joe Choynski found that an ordinary
punch wouldn't make Tom Sharkey
groggy. So Joe worked Tom around
in the ring until Toms head was al
most up against one of the ring posts.
Then Joe landed terrific wallop
against Toms head. Toms dome got
another bump when it went back
against the post and the double wal
lop so dazed Tom that Choynski was
able to last throughout the fight.

doubled up, as though on the point
of ovllapsing. Seeing this, and no..
seeing through the trick, the other

Frank Menke's
Sporting Letter

New York, May 9.-There are trick,
in every trade, but some of those
that are used in pugilism vie with all
the others for the championship.
A number of years ago there was
a punching person in Montana who
claimed the heavyweight championship
Of the state. He grabbed off a thea
trical engagement and lured lot of
victims by his offer of 500 to each
and every man who remained on his
feet for four rounds.
This pug met with wonderful sue
cess. Every man he succeeded in get
ting onto the stage went down and out
usually in the first round. They were
knocked out; there was no denying
that. But the victims loudly asserted
that it wasn't punch from the al
legged champion. 1t was because of n
blow "from behind" But the phenom-
email success of the pug remained a
mystery, until one day Stanley Ket-
chell, later the middeweight champion,
was found back of the scenery. Then
the truth came out.
The champs trick was to work his
opponent up against the scenery
whereupon Ketchel, armed with club,
would whang the poor boob on the
knob, and, of course, send him down
for the full count-and usually a
little longer.
Spider" Kelly, of San Francisco,
never was really great fighter, yet
he won many bouts, and stayed the
limit with even the wonderful Joe
Cans because of little trick he had
of talking to and jeering his opponent
throughout the bout. Kelly usually
would pick out some subject that would
be sure to divert his rivals mind from
the real business of fighting, and then
would soak his opponent for the count
of ten.
