WOLGAST and DURAN
ARE WORKING HARD
BtG CROWDS ATTEND THEIR
TRAINING QUARTERS EVERY
EVENING

Young All Wolgast has mapped out
for himself most eYentful career in
the boxing game, judging from his
expression regarding the future. The
young boxer has all the confidence
in the world and yet does not appear
over confident. He stated yesterday
afternoon that following his bout with
Young Duran on April 3, he would
make arrangements, through his man
ager, to meet Benny Chavez, the
Fighting Mexican, who is now in Den
yer. Wolgast is certain that he will
win the bout with Young Duran, and
says that this mill win be the begin
ming of big career for him.
Duran has made similar plans in
regard to his future following this ev-
ent. Duran is a clever boxer but
has never met his equal in any bout
as yet inrhis career. In Wolgast he
viii find a tough and ready boxer,
and this bout will demonstrate whe-
ther he should continue IN the rough
sport and prepare himself for q ca
reer.
Promoter OtMalley is pleased with
thb interest that Is being displayed in
this bout, and is assured Of an un-
usually large attendance. The entire
West side is backing Duran while
be has many hackers east Of the Gal
linas. The boxing fans Of this side
are about evenly divided A2r0aFing
big time is assured with this back
ing. and the bout is assured Of being
one Of the fastest contests staged
here this year.

Eunice scanned the troubled face

city who would cast a vote against
the future continuance Of the public
library would display by his action
that he was an unprogressive citizen
and had no city pride.
A plan suggested by one Of the
members of the club was that several
committees be appointed and make
a complete canvass of the city, urging
the voters IL vote for the issue at
the election. After consideration some
Of the members say that this is not
feasible, and believe that it would be
largely 4 waste 6f time. H
Another proposition was that the
ladies' 81 the club attend the polls on
election day and there exert them
selves in the cause BY suggesting to
al the voters that they cast their
Ballots for the library This plan
seems to meet general approval and
may be utilized.
There will be another meeting Of
the club before election and the final
decision in this matter will be taken
then. All members of the club are
requested to keep close watch for a
call for a meeting that probably will
occur next week.
Several other matters were discuss
ed at the meeting yesterday. The
meeting was attended by a large
number of ladies'.

Only a stenographer.
Eunice Graydon recalled the care
less remark with the sweetest smile
ii the world. In the first place the
words implied decided compliment,
for her appearance must have attract
ed attention in order to create the
discussion in question between two
callers at the office of Robert Larned.
Only a stenographeri but a good
one, and under what auspicious en-
vironment! AS Eunice recalled the
day two years previous, when a
stranger in the city and well nigh
discouraged she had been accepted as
an employe by Mr.. Larned, the tears
Of gratitude, Joy and loyalty arose to
her beautiful eyes and she was proud
and content as any queen.
She was q woman to attract atten-
tion anywhere. Past early girlhood
she was still lovely and graceful. Her
kindly eyes, her gentle, womanly dig
nifty, her helpful earnest disposition
all these had won for her the respect
OF her employer and Of every other
person in the Office.
The two men callers decided not to
wait to see the proprietor 1t was
early in the morning. Eunice always
came down early. There was a mis-
sion Of almost reverence involved.
She busted herself always first about
the desk Of her employer. It was
to place his swivel chair conveniently,
to see that not speck Of dust was
apparent on the clear glass base, to
arrange his papers, to ventilate the
room just right.
She did not know II in bis grave,
abstracted way Mr.. Larned ever, no
ticed these little attentions. She
hoped not, but sometimes she won
dered If this interest was at its base
tribute of warm deyotion4 perhaps
love. S
Eunice hummed sweet home tune
as she moved about her duties. She
was thinking of a near vacation when
she would go home and see her dear
mother How proud she would be to
tell her that she had saved up nearly
FIVE hundred dollars! And all this
JOY and comfort and independence be-
cause she had been SO fortunate as to
secure a pleasant permanent position
with the best Of men!
Eunice had her precious savings in
her pocket at that moment She had
drawn them from the bank the pre-
vious afternoon, intending to ask Mr..
Larned to invest them for her.
"Oh, dear! dear!" she murmured
felicitously, 1T seems as if nobody in
the world could be so glad and hope
full and happy as ]" and her eyes
grew liquid as she moved two small
framed pictures on the desk. One as
she well knew was an old photograph
of the dead wife Of her employer and
his son, taken many years since. The
