Contest As Staged by Keystone Club Last
Thursday Night. Best Ever Offered.

1t must have been in the
atmosphere. in the blood, in
the clothes worn by the con-
testants and in the very gloves
themselves, for never in the
history of Denver have such
successful fstic bouts been
staged by any club, such as
we're produced by the Key
stone club Thursday night of
last week, with Syl Stewart as
the aggressive promoter. No
boxing fan had more exquisite
pleasure in witnessing more
good general department in
any hstic bout than what was
seen at Eureka hall. In every
second of the going thrills OF
excitement came fast and the
great crowd, which by the
way was a good natured and
gentlemanly one, had plenty
of opportunity to show their
approval Of their favorite box
er. 1t is seldom that a club
will be lucky enough to have
three main events turn out the
way they did Thursday, night
and the genial Sylvester Stew
art is not only to be congrat-
ulated on his good judgment
in selecting the drawing card,
but is also entitled to honora-
BILE mention for the manner
in which the exhibition was
handled. Not a harsh word,
not the slightest misunder-
standing snd not a ripple OF
unpleasant become evident,
owing to the staging of the
events.
SCOTTIE WILLIAMS

Scottie Williams amid thun-

ring with Lowry Jackson, the
one time clever boxer close
behind him. Williams played
with Jackson for the first two
rounds feeling his way and

a fierce onslaught OF quick
rights and lefts to the stagger-

used felt so much relief that ! purch
ased a one-dollar bottle and by the time
this was taken the old pains had left my
back and | could sleep the whole night
through. / am a retired planter, 20
years of age, and owing to DR.. kilmer' s

TYPICAL BLUE GRASS MEAL
When Preacher Came TO Dinner Deli.
cacies Were Offered Which No
Hunger Striker Could Resist.

Were you ever in the blue grass re-
gion upon Sunday when the preach
er was to come home with ma and pa
to dinner. On the day before, it would
get out TO the negro quarters somehow
that the preacher man was coming,
and then the feathers would fly.
The jam and jelly shelves would be
ritled and finally the dinner came ON
the table. There would be about half
a bushel OF friend chicken from which
the necks, backbones and wings had
been eliminated done to rich brown
color; fanked with ,mashed potatoes
on one side told blue Neshannookl as
white as the driven show and asslight
and pleasing as the laugh OF a childs'
beaten biscuits; jams, preserves and
that old-fashioned apple butter; corn
dodger about the size of your clench-
ed fist with a husk like the shell of a
cocoanut, and so on ad infinitum.
We children all had TO wait for the
second table, but the old eotored man.
my never let us suffer and imagine
sometimes we were better served than

these instruments to eat a ''pnnkn"

But no wellbred citizen would desc
