 Freddy Welsh, alias Fred Hall Thomas, of POntyprldd, Wales, until the recruiting sergeant visited that burg, may be the worlds champion technically, but there's a strongly root cd belief that he will never get into the ring with Charles White, alias Anchovltz, the Chicago Yid.
 The Chicago boy, with the name like a deHcatessen relish, has been accumu- lating d record for hard hitting that stamps him as the probable winner of any contest over the derby route 1 against any scrapper in the world able to do 135 pounds.
 This, of course, is presuming that White himself can still scale that low. He Is getting big and is probably creeping out of the lightweight divi- sion. At that he is no further outside the American pale than is Freddie Welsh, who won his title at tho Eng fish, not the American, weight,
 Recently White added to his other string of knockout victories when he stopped that good trial horse, Matty Baldwin, the first time that hero of 25O battles was ever kayoed.
 Baldwin Is growing passe, 1t is true, but he has been a great little scrapper and a genuine lightweight He is one of those good boys who have battled harder and oftener and accomplished much more than men like RltchiG who have actually held the title.
 Since last March White has knocked out eight really good men.
 Freddie Welsh has fought White twice. The first time Freddie was not in condition, and White defeated him iD a no decision bout. The second time Welsh was in shape and lightning fast. He rather showed up the Chicagoan at boxing.
 Welsh will do that with most light weights in a short fight or as long as he retains his strength. Nobody can hit White a decisive punch while his defense is in good working order.
 Welsh, however, is old and no doubt slowing. There is a certain round where he would tire, and in that round over would come the White hook, with the sleep effects that usually felow.
 Whether this round Is inside the per misslble twenty round limit none knows. But against a strong, rugged opponent, like White, few believe Welsh today is good enough to last the distance.

are certainly high demands which are
made of those who would have fellow

might well hesitate before these exact

never be fit. but the next verse has
some encouragement for those who
realize their unworthiness and yet de-
sire earnestly to commune with God.

The Lesson Explained. Chapter vi,
12-15.-An important undertaking.
Jerusalem was taken from the Jeb-
usites by a united people under the In
spring leadership Of an enthusiastic
king. 1t is not surprising that David
was ambitious to make his capital on
the picturesque hill not merely a po-
litical career, but pre-eminently a re
ligious center. He knew that all his
labors would be vain unless God was
given the first place In private and
public life. The ark of the covenant
was the symbol of Gods presence from
the days of Moses, and it received tit
ting reverence when religion was a
real influence in the making OF char
acter. The decay Of true religion In
the days OF Eli the priest resulted In
the loss of the ark, which was cap
tured In battle by the Philistines. But
these pagans got rid of it when they
thought that its presence among them
was the cause of disease and calamity.
After being carried from n place to
another the ark was finally deposited
in Kirjath-jearim, 1.-THE city Of the
woods" as its name signifies. 1t re-
NAMED In the household of Abinadab

gave any thought to it, and for seven
ty years or more 1t remained In OBJ
| security. But David resolved that this
| symbol Of natiors ii religion should be
restored to its place Of dignity in public
life. He therefore decided to transfer
it from Kirjath-jearim to Jerusalem, a
distance of about nine miles. The &C.
| casion was one of great rejoicing. At
a rough place In the road the ken
which drew the cart stumbled, and
| Uzzah, one of the drivers, fearing lest
the ark should upset. put forth his
hand to steady 1t. This was an act of
irreverence, and he was at once smit-
| ten to death. There could now be no
| further advance, and the ark was TAX
en- to the home of Obed-edom near by.
1t was kept here for three months,
during which time this man enjoyed
unusual prosperity. The failure to get
the ark to Jerusalem greatly disap-
pointed David. He therefore planned
the second time so as to prevent any
disaster. "With gladness." His serv-
ice Of God had always been marked
by JOY and thanksgiving, and this was
again exhibited. The procession start

had gone six spaces" and all was well
David was assured of the divine pleas

WHAT is ELECTRICITY?
II Seems to Be an Effect Produced BY
Energy on Matter.

Energy on Matter.
II Is a curious fact that although evi.
dence Of electricity in a primitive way
was observed as long ago as the sixth
century Il. c. and its manifestation has
become one OF the greatest factors in
our modern civilization, no one knows
Just what ii Is. $685.
At different times II has been thought
to be a form Of matter. a thin, weight.
less fluid. a kind of force. a variety Of
motion and a disturbance in the ether
which Is supposed to oil all space. in.
Guiding pores In most solid metals.
Electricity is not something created by
man. He has simply discovered WAYS
of turning its manifestations to prac.
teal account.
From the time that Thales observed.
centuries before the Christian era. that
amber. after being rubbed by silk. had
the property Of attracting light bodies
like bits of paper, discoveries Of cleo.
trio phenomena were made from time
to time, but they were detached from
n realization of the great possibilities
brought to light In recent years.
Electricity becomes evident when
rendered active by some molecular dis
turbance, such as friction, rupture OF
chemical action. Scientists today re
gard 1t as neither energy nor matter,
but, like heat. light and sound. 1t Is an
effect produced by energy on matter.
Ii has been discovered that electric
ity is a self existent property, by which
we are everywhere surrounded, and
human as well as inanimate bodies can
be charged with 1t. From this we can
understand that many more remark
able discoveries Of its application will
be made.-Rocky Mountain News.

ION to Richmond"
On the Both of May, in 1864, the at
tention Of the people both in the north
and the south was conferred on Grant.
Note the situation, or, rather, the
events of the preceding year which had
led up to this situation. On the Both
Of May, 1863, the Army of Northern
Virginia, under command of Lee, was
on its march to invade Pennsylvania.
A few days later the Union soldiers
gained two Of the most important vic
tories of the war, n at Vicksburg,
one at Gettysburg. At Vicksburg, Penn
berton, the commander of the Confed-
crates, was completely defeated, but
at Gettysburg, what about Lee? He
retired from the three days battle in
good order, marched back to Virginia,
and resumed his guard of Richmond,
where President Davis and his cabinet
were still cur
On this Both Of May we find Lee still

been appointed lieutenant general of
the Union army. "On to Richmond"
had at once become the warcry Of his
soldiers. Within the month Of May
Grants army had been repulsed three
times by the Army of Northern Virginia

North Anna; four days later Cold Har-

who was secretary of the treasury at
this time, said: The people are crazy,
or l am. l don't see the recent military
successes. Most earnestly do l pray
that we may see them hereafter. All
under God depends on Grant. So far
he has achieved very little. and that
has cost beyond computation"
The Last of the Fight.
Such was the situation on this day
in 1864. No other Both of May had
I, been as serious as this one. At the
White House of the Confederacy, Rich
mond, there was a feeling Of temporary
security. In Washington there was
encouragement; in the homes in the
north and in the south there We're
thousands OF mothers, wives, daugh-
tiers and sweethearts who were finding
in the printed bulletins the names of
their loved ones numbered among the
dead. The question asked on this day
was, "When will this bloody war end?"
On the Both of May, in 1865, the war
for the Union had ended. The day be-
fore President johnson had issued his
proclamation of amnesty. in which he
pardoned all who had taken part In the
rebellion on condition that they would
subscribe to an oath of allegiance to
the United States and accept the re-
suits of the war, including the manci-
patton of the slaves. The signing Of
This oath by Confederate soldiers on
this day was the first formal step In
the reuniting Of the states of the Union.
But a majority Of the Confederate SOL
diers had already, in spirit, accepted
the conditions included in this oath.
They had returned to their homes and
they were busy on their farms, in their
Offices and in their workshops. Their
cavalry horses were now hitched to the
plow.

Evacuation Of corinth.
The Both Of May in 1862 was made
memorable in civil war history by the
evacuation of Corinth, Miss. The seiz-
ure of the Confederate stronghold by
the Union armies was an event which,
estimated by its results. may be re-
garded as the first important event OF
the war.
The morning Of the Both Of May,
1862, Union spies saw only the rear OF
Beauregard's army far to the south OF
Corinth fleeing down the Mobile rail-
road. The enemy whom Sherman had
been sent to "feep' had escaped. The
city had been evacuated and left as a
prize of war to the Union army.
On this Both of May there was much
rejoicing in the northern states. for all
through the month of May the people
there had been awaiting the outcome
Of this siege.
While the people in the north on this
Both of May were rejoicing over the
victory of their soldiers at Corinth and
over the results which they felt would
inevitably follow what about the peo-
Pile in the south? Nearly a year had
now passed since the victory of the
Confederate soldiers at the battle of
Bull Run.
The evacuation of Corinth cast a
gloom over the whole south, but there
still remained with the southern peo-
pie an implicit confidence in the Army
of North Virginia, which was on that
day holding its own in defense of
Richmond.
