There were whole sections Of seats un-
occupied. and this is 10 be wondered at,
for surely the battle was worthy Of a
capacity crowd. Although small, the
crowd was eXscting, and some light
fingered member therein extracted Joe

Dundee started the battle with
flourish Of trumpets, and for while
il seemed as if he would win by the
widest sort of margin. He stepped
around Richie, pepperng him with
lefts and rights and landing with ease.
Richie had no defence against this
attack. which was at once battling and
forceful, and he was driven from pillar
to post. outboxed at long range and
outfought in the clinches. Weight,
however. came to his aid, and in the
latter stages Of the battle he was
fghting with fury and skill that
might have turned the tide in few
more rounds.
For awhile it appeared as II there
would be no fight As told previously,
there was a small crowd in attendance,
and the gossip had it that Monteith
wanted Richie 10 accept lesser sum
than the $500 guaranteed him. ms
the American title-holder refused to
do, so a long delay followed the semi
final contest.
Finally Richie entered the ring and
sat in his corner. chatting with his
seconds and bowling to friends in the
audience. He was alone in his glory
for some time before Dundee arrived.
II was all serene, apparent y, but

Nothing tests persons greatness
more sharply than the way in which
he takes Sights and snubs. 1t is not
difficult, nor wholly unpleasant, to
be attacked or differed with or de-
nounced for holding a certain view
or following a certain course of &C.
ton. There is an implied compll-
ment in being considered of sufi-
cient influence to be worth attack
ing. But to be passed over as not
. worth noticing-that wounds our
pride. The greatest man in any
roomful of people is the one who
thinks so little of himself that he
does not expect anyone to think
him great. No one but truly big
soul can stand being considered
small and keep sweet under it.
When others show that they think
we are built on a small scale, the
surest way to prove that they are
right is to take offense at It's. S.

:. CHILDHOOD ;.
From an Erchange

Childhood is the sweetest and
most innocent part of life. 1t is
the springtime of mans existence;
the beginning of a glorious pros
pective voyage, in which all is sun
shine and smiles. Flowers every
where abound; all is fresh and beau
tiful; and to Judge by appearances,
there could never be any serious
storms upon the sea of life. Boys
and gir{s so view it, and what pity
their young lives should ever find 1t
different? They have so many
things to learn and rejoice at, that
even parents refrain from acquaint-
ing them with the things they must
and surely will meet. There is
nothing more beautiful than child
hood, and hard is the heart that does
not wish to add to it's store of pleas
ures, for it is so easy to multiply
pleasures. A good deed, a kind
word, count for so much, and not
only increase their pleasures, but
your own as well. 1t is natural to
love children. for after all, they are
the jewels of life as well as of heav-
en-. Kindness to children is never
lost or forgotten. 1t is then the
mind is young, and friend in child
hood is rarely an enemy in after
years.
The responsibility of other people
in setting good examples for child
rem is also great, especially. take a
boy for example. when he has be-
come large and far away from the
direct influence of his parents, it is
now he ceases to be innocent and
the bad begins to assert itself. AS
soon as he discovers he is from und-
er his parents care, he proceeds to
SOW his wild oats, and teach the old.
er people, there is nothing to their
way of thinking. Poor boy! He is
to be pitied. rather than blamed, for
he is now between boyhood and
manhood.
This is the most dangerous period
of his life, and without the refining
influences, love of good books. mu-
sic and ladies' company, the boy
goes wrong and makes mistakes,
but let the world not Judge him too
harshly, but rather cast him a life
line and make a redoubled effort to
show him the wrong he has done
and that now is the time to forget
the past and start anew.
And last, but most important,
perhaps of all. l would like to say
there is a great danger to the young
boy from bad habits and companion
ship. Many accept bad habits be-
cause they do not acquire good
ones, and many form bad associa-
tions because they do not realize
they have no better ones in their
mind. Boys, look within, and not
without, and although the way may
be dark and the world seems to have
turned against you, you will in the
end win the fight. Choose the good,
shun the bad as you do the vicious,
for 1T lie far better to be alone than
in bad company.

Some one has said that: the
chronic crouch gets nothing but the
skinned milk of human kindness. )"
This is no more than just deserts to
one who can see no cheer in life,
and no good in his fellow man.
Life is likened to hollow vessel,
to be filled with activities. conduct,
ambitions and deeds that will re-
dound to the individual whose con-
tents it represents, If we fill it with
cheer, kindliness, obedience and APP
preciaton toward our fellow man,
we can rest assured the vessel will
mete to us what we have put in to
it in like measure. One can not
alter the laws of compensation any
more than the laws of nature. Give
the thirstlng plant kingdom it's due
of moisture aud it repays with boun-
teous frultion; deny it moisture, and
it withers. So with the crouch.
He can not, with justice to himself
and fairness to his fellow man, ex-
pect good will, smiles and appreci-
alton from the vessel he has filled
with surliness, irritability and dis
daiu.
