To my mind, the ideal COM
munity in which to live is one
that has good roads, streets and
sidewalks, ample religious, ed
ucational and social advantages
in all, those things that go to make
up a community of happy, con-
tented people.
The creation and existence OF
this ideal community necessarily
depend upon individual prosperity,
which in turn depends upon local
commercial activity.
Upon the amount of business
transacted by your local mercantile
institutions depends the extent OF
growth and development Of your
community as we'll as the pros
perity of your citizenship. When
your local merchants are pros
porous, they will in turn feel
inclined to deal literally with the
community upon which they de-
pend for patronage.
Modern merchandising methods
make it possible for your home
merchants to serve you to as good
advantage as stores in the larger
cities. They can supply you with
the best brands of merchandise

subject Of the following amusing
aEecdote:

he saw a sentinel In front OF the Mon
taux barracks who had set his gun
aside and, squatting in his sentry box.
was enjoying . huge piece OF bread
and cheese. The president approached
the man and said:
Eth, bien, my friend, Is the regi-
mental food good enough"
why dost thou ask" rejoined the
soldier, employing the familiar second
person singular.
Because II interests me considera-
bly," replied the president
The soldier thought his questioner
was probably some member of the
regiment. but stree be was wearing
civilian clothes it was no part Of the
sentry's duty to salute him. To each
question as to whether he was a cor.
poral, sergeant, lieutenant or captain,
the president replied that he was
greater than that. When the sentry.

well, then you must be the gen.
erai." The president replied. "The
generals obey me-"
You want to make me believe you
are the minister Of war;" exclaimed
the astonished soldier.

replied the president, blandly.

MUSIC AND LANGUAGE WORDS
WelI.Known Musician ExpIalns the
Divisions Known ~ Melody
and Harmony.

As you know, the single notes are
the letters Of the Music language.
Groups OF notes are the words Of the
music language. In a spoken language.
the letters are always sounded one
after the other. In the music language
they are sometimes sounded one after
the other and sometimes simultan-
eously.
This fact explains two important d.
visions of music, namely. melody and
harmony. In a general way, melody
consists Of single tones heard one after
the other; combinations Of tones heard
simultaneously are called harmony. A
word Of the music language may con-
sist Of several tones in succession like
a word Of the spoken language. which
consists of several letters in success
sion.
On the other hand. a word Of the
music language may consist Of several
tones heard simultaneously, which is
impossible in language. Some of tho
most important words of the music
language are those which are used
in both these ways, and It is one Of the
great charms of music that its words
can be heard In these two ways.-Dr

The council lasted we'll on to
morning, but ere the embers of its
fire faded before the gray of dawn

pipe of peace when they had given
me their solemn pledge that l might

and children, and that they would
give up to justice the ringleaders of
the revolt if 1 would see that the
troops were turned back and no

Indians Kept Agreement.
The next morning, when Gen.
Adams had seen the women and chill
dren safely on their way back to
civilization under the escort of his
friendly Indians, he, with Count
Doenhoff, started for the White River
to join Gen. Merritt and report on
the success of his mission.
In accordance with his agreement
the troops were turned back, the In
dians broke camp and went back to
their reservations and the threaten
ed Indian war was at an end.

q AN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3o.-The
first and most unpleasant ex-
perience I ever had followed
the making OF that match with Welsh
In Vancouver. AS l previously stat
ed, Promoter Hugh Springer agreed
to guarantee me $4,000 for my end
and also to give me 30 per cent of
the moving picture. / have found
out since that he bit of rsre than
he could chew, but, of course, I did
not know It then. Anyhow, I got on
the job in the British Columbia city
and started to train hard for the bat
tie. l was very nicely treated by
all the sports and everything went
along fine for a few days. Then
Welsh injured himself In some mys-
terious way and the battle had to be
postponed from Labor Day till Sep
tember 20
Naturally, l was very much dis
appointed. but decided to make the
best of it, felt sorry for Welsh
because l really believe that he hurt
his ankle severely and could not go
on.
I eased up in my training and took
life leisurely. for had plenty OF time
In which to get ready, and I did not
care about taking any chances Of
going stale for such an important
battle
And while l was loafng around /
began TO learn a few things. First
Of all | discovered that Springer had
not come to terms with Harry Pol
lock. manager OF Welsh. When the
match was postponed Pollock wanted
guarantee OF more money, but
Springer would not make good.
Promoter Passes Articles Up.
Finally Foley and myself took "a
hand in the game, and after several
stormy scenes we managed to bring
Pollock and Springer together. was
OF the opinion that they settled things
up all right, but still something
looked wrong and l began to get sus-
picious.
Springer kept telling me that my
guarantee was all right and that he
would live up TO every clause in the
articles. When I demanded 70 see
the color Of his money he laughed
and said Il was all right.
After | started 10 train tried TO
reason with the promoter. but he
just kept stslllng me all the time.

1 don't believe that they saw the
money in sight.
We had no sooner landed in San
Francisco than we began to get offers
from all over the country. l can hon
estly say that I could have taken on
half a dozen soft ones for big money
had l wanted to. But knew that if
l did l would become the target for
all the knockers in the business, so
l decided to do some regular fighting.
Signs Up to Meet Cross.
I picked out the toughest one Of
the bunch, Leach Cross, and l &C
cepted terms from Billy Gibson to
fight him in his own backyard-Mad-
ison Square Garden, New York. This
match, a ten-round, no-deCision af-
fair, was scheduled to take place on
the night of October IS last, and
Foley and myself left shortly after
for New York.
When l hit the big village they
came after me with theatrical offers.
l tried to duck them, but my friends
told me that 1t would be a good ad
for me, as I never had been seen in
public in New York.
lHen signed up Tor a week work
at the Fifth Avenue Theater, and !
must say that l was we'll treated.
showed them everything l had in the
boxing line, and they seemed TO like
my work so well that they offered
me another week; but l passed this
up.
For ten days l worked like a
beaver to get ready for Cross, and l
was in grand shape, when, suddenly,
two days before the date of the bat
tie. Cross hurt himself in the gym
nasium, and the mill was postponed
till November 10.
This broke me all up, and I de-
cided at once that I must be the orig
inal jinX. At first it looked as though
the match would have TO be called
off altogether but when the doctors
said that Cross would be all right
after a few days OF rest l agreed to
the postponement.

He would not give me any salts
faction at all, and I did not know
just where l stood.
Well. to make a long story short,
Springer refused to sign the articles.
Instead. he turned them over to his
assistant, Chef Mcintyre, and he said
that they were all right This sat
isfied me, and I went ahead with my
training. l thought that everything
was all right till few days before
the battle when l called to have an
other talk with Springer.
He received me very colby this
time, and at once made up my mind
that there was something in the wind.
Once more I asked that the guarantee
be posted, and once more I was
stalled 1t was then that I made up
my mind to have It out with the pro-
moter, and I went right to the bat
without doing any preliminary stall
ing.
Champion Deserts Vancouver.
When ii came to a showdown
Springer actually repudiated the ar
ticles which Mcintyre had signed. I
could not get any satisfaction from
him at all. Both he and Pollock be-
gan TO attack me IN the local papers,
and, OF course, they naturally had
the edge on me. for I was practically
stranger in a strange land, with
out any friends.
l sent word to Springer that I
would pack up and leave for home
If he did not give me some assurance
that he would recognize the articles
and post the money. But he did nos
nay any attention 10 me. although
he gave out a few more statements
to the papers. in which he said that
I was trying 10 hold him UP and was
afraid to tackle Welsh.
