In the newspapers OF touay we yer,
often find the words entente cordiale
Most readers understand the meaninl
OF the expression. but It is rather diff
ficult TO make a translation that ex'
presses the exact meaning OF the or
Iiginal French. Prince Bismarck gave
a good explanation when his daughter
Iasked him what the entente cordiale
really was.
We'll" he said. ~ Ia not 30 easy
TO define literally. II means a cordial
understanding. but II also has little
different Significance. For example;
You were In the courtyard this morn
ing when I came from the garden with
Nero; Diana was In the yard. gnawing
la large bone. My Nero saw her. and
ran To seize the bone. Then there was
Ia little fight. until struck them few
sharp blows with my cane. After that
the boac lay In the middle Of the
court while both dogs stood off at
some distance and looked eagerly at
II. Each dog. in fact. was as anxious
to keep the other away as he was
afraid OF my cane, and therefore Meth
or venturcd to seize IT, You see. that
Is what they call IN diplomatic circles
an entente cordiale."

OUTRAGEOUS FOOD PRICES.
Nav York WORLDLY

Famine prices for food throughout
the United states are arbitrarily spec
ulative and criminal They have been
imposed at time when the great
est crops ever known are maturing
and in the face Of an embargo upon
foreign commerce that may last long
enough to gi,it our warehouses.
It is thus that the war-makers Of
the earth heap terror upon terror and
add suffering to suffering. The worst
of their offenses is not always TO be
seen upon the field of battle Savagery
there has some redeeming traits, such
as courage. devotion and sacrifice. In
the market place 1t is altogether sor-
did and calculating. In conflict war
kills and mains strong men. In
trade it starves the aged, the young.
the weak.
The movement In congress to inves-
tigate this outrageous increase In the
prices Of provisions may be useful in
way, but 1t will not promptly reach
the evil, What Is needed is instant
activity on the part Of the department
of justice. There can be no such gem
eral and exorbitant marking up Of
food prices In the absence Of combin-
alton and conspiracy.
All Of our laws against trusts, un-
fair business practices. monopolics,
conspiracies and combinations are so
much blank paper IL in a time like
this. when American granaries are
bursting and there is no immediate
prospect of an outlet elsewhere. food
can be eornered MS 1t is today.

All tire fans who saw the fight will

Well, the body blows caused this. He
simply could not take them, and in

whip in the short ones.
And Rivers was not hitting me

busy trying to protect himself and

He was wide open, and | simply cross

was the best punch that ! landed up
to that time. Rivers fell to the floor
like log, and I really was surprised
to see him get up at the count of
nine.
He looked groggy and his eyes were
CLASSY. He clinched with me, and
gradually worked him around to a
corner, and then, turning him so his
body was wide open, l let go a right
swing which landed between the kid
neys and the solar pleXus. Rivers
toppled over on his face and laid
there while Timekeeper George Hart

my ring career than I was when
! started with Rivers on July last.
Despite the trouble with Billy Nolan,
l entered the ring free from care and
worry and full of confidence | made
up my mind to take advantage Of the
first opportunity that presented it
self and score a knockout as quickly
as | could,
But l must admit that Rivers sur
prised me. He proved nearly as hard
a hitter a Wolgast, and he was light
ming fast and twice as clever as Ad.
Evidently he had instructions to
wade right in before ! could get a
chance to set myself. He certainly
started out like a winner, and he
had the crowd with him after the
first round.
1t was all Rivers for four rounds.
| will readily admit this. He forced
the fighting and he landed the harder
and the cleaner blows | could not
get started, for some reason or an
other. | knew that something was
holding me back And in the mean
time Rivers was giving me as good a
beating a. I ever took in any fight.
Rivers had me on the run; but this
was wrong I never was the slight
est bit groggy. A couple OF his
punches, a right to the jaw in the
fourth round in particular, shook me
up But | did not feel any bad eff
fects from IT. / managed to come
right back, but still / did not seem
in line to force the fighting.
