Up as a terrible animal and crept into

"Cuvier," he cried, in a hollow voice.
"CuYier, I've come to eat you!"
The naturalist peered at him and i'm

What, horns and hoofs-graminiv-

He saw that the supposed monster
had hoofs and horns and he knew that
such animals eat grain and grasses
and not flesh. So he was not in the
least afraid of being eaten.

What Poems Believe.

Just as the religion Of the Mexican
peon causes him to people his daily
surroundings with the presence OF the
saints. SO does his superstitious mind
assign supernatural causes to things
not easily explained, and bid him sec
evil spirits and hobgoblins in strange
or unfrequented places.
Naturally, much Of this superstition
has come down with the traditions Of
his Aztec forbears, whose polytheis-
tic religion set up many imaginary
gods and spirits.
The devil and his attendant hobgob-
Inns are active people in this peoples
minds.
But-happy tribute to the strength
Of Christianity!-the sign Of the cross
is potent to Danish imaginary fiends on
all ordinary occasions.
Every town dog believes he can
catch a rabbit. but a country dog
knows better.

Governor Clamps Lid Down Hard on
Illinois Fighting

on what boxing renamed IN Illinois
and no longer will La Sale, Peru,
Ottawa, Peoria and other cities
where the ten-round game has
fiourished be allowed to put on at
fractions.
Action was taken by the state ex-
ecutive yesterday, an order going out
from Springfield that bouts in La
Sale and Ottawa, scheduled for the
afternoon, should be Cancelled. OF
tawa promoters obeyed the order,
but in La Sale Promoter ScanlOn de-
cided to go through with the Mike
Snyder-Goats DOig mill.
The promoter, fighters and spec
tators were arrested at the conclu-
sion of the battle and a trial will be
held Jan. Z. Scanlon claimed he
was running a boxing bout, which
did not come under the provisions of
the anti-prizefight law. Gov. DUNES
action followed several complaints
that have been made to him recently.
Fighting as it is conducted here in
Illinois now can never be satistac-
tory. There is no supervision of the
sport and the clubs are run in a hap
hazard manner, with no certainty
that the sheriff's people won't drop
in at any time and pinch the house.
That does not make the spectators
feel secure and they fail to turn out
in large enough numbers to allow the
staging Of proper combats.
The La Sale fight is instance
enough of the bad state of affairs.
Ed Smith was sick, so he couldn't
referee the fight. Then Scanlon, the
promoter, took the center of the
ring and gave a draw decision,
though Snyder plainly had an adVan-
tage over the Spring. Valley gladia-
tor.
The crowd howIed at the decision
and started a disturbance, which
only came to an end when the cop

At last Col. Jake Rupert and
Capt. Til Huston have bought the
New York Yankees and Wild Bill
Donovan has been installed as man
ager. The price paid has not been
given out and we don't know that
any one is intensely interested.
No big deals for strengthening the
team have been pulled off so far,
though Rupert says he has made
arrangements to buy several players
from other clubs. Among them is.
Joe Berger, Sox utility infielder. High .
and Pipp of Detroit will also be
bought.
It is doubtful, however, if any of
the teams will rush in with charitable
offers to help out the new mag
mates. They will have to go out and
fix up their own fences, just as did
every other owner in the circuit.
Donovan apparently was the man. .
ager whose name was to cause such
a big stir around the baseball camps.
AS far as we can make out, no one
has lost any sleep in rioting Joy since
Bill was given the assignment. He
is an able manager, but has yet to
show his ability to handle a big
league ship. His work with Provi- ,
dence in the International league was
satisfactory, but he had good ma
terial to work with.
All of the publicity that has been
spilled anent the selling of the Yam

was for the purpose of keeping up
interest. A page of publicity now

U. S. COURT REFUSES TO
DISSOLVE THE CORPORATION
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS
SURPRISED AT OUTCOME
OF THE v. S. STEEL SUIT.

WASHINGTON. June a.
Distinct surprise was evident
az the department Of Justice
and In government circles aen-
orally today when news came
that the federal circuit court
OF appeals AZ Trenton had dis
missed the aoVernnents suit
for dissolution OF the United
states Steel corporation.
Attorney General Oreaory,
after 4 lengthy conference with
@. c. Todd, his assistant In
charge Of trust prosecutions,
declined to make a statement
az TO the next move OF the gov
eminent in the case. II was
generally believed. however,
that an effort would be made
to carry the suit, regarded as
probably the most Important
ever brought under the Sernan
law, to the supreme court. The
general practice Of the govern
ment has been to pursue all
such cases TO a final Judgment
In the court Of last resort
With the many involved
questions presented by the
case, II was suggested today
that President Wilson would
desire to discuss the matter
with his cabinet before any
further action by the depart
ment Of Justice was decided
upon.
