Title Holder,
NE Washington Herald.

cleS1Al 10 me washington heraio
Chicago, Nov. 8-Every now and then
Charlie White hobs up with another I'M
expected and sensational knockout And
just so often the shoes of Champion
Freddie Welsh feel their owner quaking
in their depths. Whites latest knock
out. in Boston last week, was the man
who is generally credited with knock
ing Welsh cold In a bout IN Winnipeg a
year ago-Freddie getting the benefit OF
the champions doubt and getting away
with claim of foul
Just as the sporting editors were read
in a-letter from Ray Bronson telling OF
the greatness of MiIburn Saylor, in comes
the dispatch from Boston telling the
news that Whites deadly left hook had
knocked-out young Mr.. Saylor in the
first round. One punch had put Saylor
down for the count of seven, and when
he struggled up a second clip on the
chin flattened him out for the necessary
ten. That's the kind OF fighter Charlie
White is
From Saylor's fight record. both here
and in Australia. we know he is OF the
top-notch variety Yet Whites deadly
punches dropped him as though he had
been a preliminary boy. Once he fought
White before, and got a draw. Now
down he goes in the first round. Which
all shows what an uncertain thing the
life of the average lightweight may be,
especially when opposed to White.
The popular fighter. in the old days.
was one who could drop a man with
single punch. Charlie White seems to
come nearer to the old ideal than any of
the others now standing in the light
weight limelight. He's somewhat OF a
contrast TO Champion Freddie Welsh,
isn't he?

and mighty fine chap he is, too.
Since the war he's poured out his
money, spent half million pounds in

rising English infection. 1.-THE
Northumberland is a gcntleman's
club-and a man in trade can't buy
his way into it-not with hundred

"You mean that work is discredit-
ed?" pursued Helen excitedly. "To
be gentleman you must live in idle
ness? Then I'm glad all OF our men
are workcrs-that we haven't"
Catching Warren's warning frown,
Helen flushed and stopped abruptly.
That's all right, Mrs Curtis, stand
up for your American men, but don't
be too hard on our class distinction,
for you have it over here-only it's
money. In England it happens to be

smile. d,
In spite of his tactful courtesy
Helen felt she had blundered, and
through the rest of the dinner was
discreetly guarded in her comments.
Later, after their coffee and cigars,
they joined her in the library. Mr..
Watkins, now mellowed by several
glasses of Scotch, was most genial.
He spoke of their charming apart
ment, and was properly interested in
the furniture they had brought from
London.
, On the whole the evening was
success. When he left, he expressed
most cordially the hope that when
next they came to London he might
have the privilege of entertaining
them.
-Oh. he enjoyed it. didn't he?" ask
ed Helen eagerly, as they settled
down in the library to talk it over"

He was tall, red faced, gray mus

"Mr. Watkins, / want you to meet

It's very kind OF you to extend
your hospitality to a stranger, Mrs.

Almost Immediately Anna an

the dining room, with stiff formality,
Mr.. Watkins walked beside Helen.

as they sat down.
"Oh no. I'm learning my way

and one part orange juice-shaken

the suffocating steam heat and the

Then he spoke of the smartly-
gowncd women. No women in the

women were better gowned in the
evening, or at least evening dress
was more gcneral-but on the street
the American women were unrivaled.

Helen.

Curtis, and not mention the men. But,

The high restaurant prices also
came in for Mr.. Watkins censure.

cents for orange marmalade, which
was served without charge with

A household remedy of the French
peasantry, consisting of pure vegetable
oil, and said to possess wonderful merit
in the treatment of stomach, liver and
intestinal troubles. has been introduced

use. So quick and effective is its action
that a single dose is usually enough to
bring pronounced relief in the most
stubborn cases. and manv people who
have tried it declare they never heard
of anything to produce such remarkable
results in SO short time. 1t is known
as Mayr's Wonderful Remedy and can
now be had at all leading drug stores
