MARRIAGE BY PROXY
 OLD LAW IN HOLLAND

London. April 3.-Marriage by proxy, which the French cabinet is considering as a war emergency, is already the law in Holland. A Dutch girl now in London intends to be married by proxy in the summer.

other man. That is due perhap, partly to the increase of interest in sports, partly to the greater popuya- tion and partly to the larger amount of general prosperity now as com- pared to a number of years pack. Probably a more important reason is that good many people have paid to see him beaten, without any other idea than exchanging money to be in at the death. Of course the biggest gate Johnson ever fought before was at Reno, when he licked Jeffe.ies with a $270,OOO crowd present. His next biggest crowd was at Sydney, Australia, where he beat Tommy Burns before $131,000 mob. Other big throngs paid to see him fight Al Kaufman, Jim Flynn, Stanley ketchel and Frank Moran. Altogether probably twice as much money Has been paid for entrance fees to John sons bouts than those of any other boxer. Tomorrow's huge assemblage at the Havana race track certainly will help swell tho total.

with the stories of the Passion. Thelo is Danish legend that as Christ !, t,i, suffering OH the cross three blius came and allghte0 upon II. One cl1eu, 'StyIlk nam, styrik ham" tStrengtnen him, strengthen himD, and since that time the stork has been known as d bird of strength and blessing. Ine second, it was interpreted, crieo sva ham. svai ham," (Refresh nlnl, ie- fresh him), and the swallow was llhe wise thought to be a bird of blessing But the third cried. 'Puen ham! iToi- ture himD, and so from that hour the lap.wing has been accursed among birds. The Swedish legend is the same. with the addition of fourth bird, the turtle dove, which, flying t1fither, cried, 't'Kyrie, ;Kyrie!" tLord, 4brd!l and its voice has eyer since besn. limited to that single word of lament '''S
 .a,sAh owl, according to the Spanish, was ,tp dazzled by the sunlight it did not perceive that it had alighted upon the cross. But as night came on it saw, and, frightened, called. "Cruz, cruz!" (Cross, crossD as it few away. And from that moment the owl has kept nepeating this cry and has been able to see only after darkness falls.
 The crossbill, in an unsuccessful effort to draw out one of the nails which fastened the Savior to the cross, twisted it's beak and dyed its plumage with the Martyrs blood. Concerning the robin there is a sim. liar tradition, expressed in verse, as follows.
 To the savior's throbbing head
 She fondly strove. His blood, 'tis said, Dyed all her tender bosom red.
 Since then no hand disturbs her nest, No prowling beasts her young molest- That sacred bird of ruddy breast.
 Some of the early Italian painters have in the foreground of their cfuci- flxion scenes the white wood sorrel, purple-stained, which is said to have grown at the foot of the cross, and to have been colored from the blood which dropped upon it. The fact. as Ruskin points out, that the leaf of this plant possessed the power of quenching thirst, may have been an. other reason for it's introduction into the pictures.
 One species of the orchid, which in Cheshire is called Gethsemane, and whose petals are marked with dark stains: the passion flower, symbolical of the crown, the scourge, the spear and the nails; the arum, tiger lily and scarlet anemone-all, it was believed, were mute witnesses of the crucifix. ion. And the white lily, emblem of purity, has always been connected with the stories of the Virgin and of Christ.

White Hope Younger, Heav- I fer, Taller and with Long R CT Reach Than Negro.
BETTING FAVORS JACK
Willard Has Never Been Knocked Out,
 Band Has Killed One Opponent witb His Right Uppercuf-DOth Are @ Thought Game.

# While the betting in Havana today s reported to favor Jack Johnson on he eve of his clash with Jess Willard Tor the heavyweight laurels of the world, there are many points in Viii brd's favor. He is ten years Younger and is generally credited with having a more powerful punch .han the black. He has an advantage Ii 20 pounds in weight. N Although Jack is a big man, Will Rrd is about , 3-4 inches taller. Will ard's reach is S3 1-2 inches, compar- "a to Johnson's 73 inches. Willard has never been knocked Hut or even knocked down in the Hourse Of ring encounter. Johnson jas been knocked out at least once. N Without going into the question of be quality of their opponents statis- les show Willard has knocked out 1 of his last 3S opponents, while Johnson has put away only fifteen &dversaries in as many years. Probably Willard does not know lis own strength. He killed un- brtunate "Bull'' Young, with a right ppercut, the blow with which he ppes to end Johnson's ring career. ] But Willard lacks experience. gen. talship and boxing technique. These te the factors which may cost him le fight.
 Jess has a faculty of stepping bickly inside of a left jab and lift
 g his right to the head or body. It as this blow, which travelled less
 an two feet, that settled Young. Ess seldom used the blow in train-
 E bouts for fear of injuring his
 barring partners.
 Willard packers point Out that |hnson Pas never met a man the ke Of Jess and say the sight of such
 giant before him will intimidate
 black. Willard has never lacked
 meness, but neither has Jack.
 Willard's chances for victory lie in
 stamina and his 1great punch.
 hnson is expected to be there with
 smashing right uppercut and it
 rtainly will be battle worth see

Going Out West

On their way from Arapahoe, Nebr.,
to Utah, Donald Patterson, age II, and
Clarence Still, age 16, each armed with
a six-shooter and rifle, stopped last
week at the home of an acquaintance,
H. H. Northup, about eight miles east
of Keota, where they were held until
this week when Constable Swayze Of
Arapahoe came to take them back
home. The boys had heard Of the wild
West with plenty Of Indians and hunt
ing, and their only excuse for running
away from home was that they wanted
to go out West. They left home on
Tuesday of last week at midnight, rode
in a box-car from McCook, Nebr., to
Brush, Colo, and walked the remainder
of the way to the Northup home, ar
irving sometime the following Friday.
Donald resides with his uncle, and Clar-
ence with his widow-mother. and both
boys had been attending first year high
school. They nearly froze in the box
car; the West was not as exciting as
they had anticipated; and so they were
very glad to go home again. One Of
them remarked that they would have
one thing to be thankful for, referring
to their arrival in Arapahoe. at 6:l6 q.

ke0t1 Depot Saveo from burning
The G. B. & @. depot at Keota was
saved from destruction by fire last Sum-
day afternoon only by the prompt work
of the townspeople who carried water
and extinguishers, and cut way thru
the ceiling and second floor to where
the fire was smoldering. The goods
were removed from the building with
considerable rapidity; but by the time
they were out the fire was under con-
troll. 1t is thought that the fire caught
from the kitchen range, which was set
up with no stove-board between it and
