One day 1 was tugging at the pully

self into shape when Johnson, who
had had difficulty in getting suitable
sparring partners. walked up to me
and said very pleasantly:
Com on, young man, box with me.
will your" The suddenness Of the re-
quest and the matter of fact tone in
which il was uttered rather took me
off my feet and ! started TO stammer.
But I gathered myself and finally
managed to say:
mo can't do it, Mr.. Johnson"
why, what's the matter?'' he
asked, flashing the old golden smile
of his. Il never try TO hurt anybody
who works with me-"
cit isn't that" I managed to tell
him, and then summoning all of my
courage / blurted out:
You see. I'll have to fight you
some day for the championship and
it would not be right or fair to box
you now"
If you ever saw a man taken off his
feet it was the champion that after
noon.
What. you too?" he said. Then he
looked me over and smiled in a kindly
way. I knew then that he didn't take

Charley Cutler. the wrestler. l met
many friends here.
Charley introduced me around Bill

TO sing the praises of the grand old
veteran. He was very kind TO me, as
he is 10 most OF the young aspirantS
for ring honors, and gave me some
mighty valuable hints on how to con-
duct myself in the ring.
He was the first man TO show me
the almost unlimited value of q
straight left-hand punch. He showed
me how I could best make my ire
mendOus reach tell by standing VI
straight and sticking my south paw
first out in a perfectly straight line
He gave me many a boxing lesson and
illustrated his point in numerous ways
until I had il thoroughly drummed
into my head.

and very soon was beginning TO i'm

Cutler showed me all he knew about
the boxing game and 1 have no com
plant to make about him. excepting
that he got me into New York city
and left me stranded there. But per

DON'T INJuRE
 YOUR KIDNEYS
Take a Teaspoonful of Rheumasalts for Lame Back or Bladder Trouble

Do you occasionally have a "crick' in your back? Does your back ache with l dull, heavy, racl<ng throb? Is 1t hard 70 straighten up after stopping? Is it aard to rise from a seat or to turn 1uicl>ly? Q
 If you are bothered this way, then your xdneys need attention. No doubt your blood is filled with uric acid. This irrita- ing acid has caused your kidneys to be- ,Ome weak from OverWOrk. It has made them sluggish, the liver and bowels are ,1ogged, and the waste which should be drained from the system is retained in the blood to poison the entire body.
 Kidney diseases start mysteriously and sometimes lead to Dropsy and Bright's Disease.
 At the first "pain in the back get from your druggist about five ounces of Rheumasa1ts. Take two teaspoonfuls in b glass of water before breakfast each morning and in a few days your back will feel fine because your kidneys are working right.
 Rheumasa1ts is a wonderful effervescent Gthia drink, which helps the weakened kidneys and liver and cleans out the stomach of toxins and poisons and leaves the intestinal canal clean and sweet. It Is delightful to the taste. It is. an ab.. solutely harmless uric acid solvent as we'll IS saline laxative. Acts quickly without 3gripng or nausea. 9 If your druggist does not keep gen. suine Rheumasalts. remember there is nothing "just as good" Rheumasalts is nreDared by the famous Rheumabatfs Company, Minneapolis Minn.

 In reply to the question as to whether Connecticut can afford a pension law for teachers, it has been shown that only about ten per cent. of all teachers stay in the work long enough to draw a pension and that less than four per cent. of ConneCti- cuts teachers have taught long enough to become eligible to any possible pension. The average term of ser vice in teaching is less than eight years.
 About 205 teachers in Connecticut would be eligible this year to a pen sion should the proposed bill become law.
 Of these, about three -fourths arc yet vigorous and will prefer to work for a whole salary than to draw 40 percent. of one. Only those who ought to retire will care to apply for pension.
 
 CTS who would apply for a pension this year (estimated upon returns from a painstaking investigation made in 1911 and 1913) is less than forty. The approximate total cost for this year Destination derived from the same source), is less than S20,000
