hand and trained it in all the tricks of the ck-fighting trade. That fighting chicken was long Biily's pride and joy, but, like its owner, 1t eventu- ally met it's KetcheI
 These were Bi1Iy's principal inter ests, although he also found diver sion in wrestling matches and rural dances. He was a handsome youth in a way, and a favorfte with the viI- lage bellies, who have never quite for given him for marrying, outside of Spring Valleys social circles Billy married several years ago Miss Edna Pulyer, of Hamilton, Canada. It was quite a romantic affair. Miss PuIver family opposed the match, and plan ned to send her to Europe, but Billy heard of the plot and drove up to the young womans home in his racing car and whis5ed her off to Buffalo, where they were married.
 J BilIy's first ring battle, was staged early in 1906. Erny Potts, a local fighter. wanted a sparring partner, and he was introduced to Smiling Billy" Papke made such a. good showing for a novice that Potts, after initiating him into some of the tricks of the trade, induced IT. E. Jones Of La Salle to give the Dutch boy a try-out. A lad known as the Mexi- can Wonder was his first opponent, and Billy won with ease, receiving S5 for polishing off the t'Wonder." Jones
 
 fought his first battle as a principal in Peoria, Knocking out Mi1t Kenny.
 That was the beginning of a re- markabIe ring career, in which Billy twice fought his way to the middle weight championship of the world. The contests between Billy and Stan ley ketche1 constitute one of the most interesting chapters of modern prize ring history.
 Before meeting KetcheI the first time. Smiling Billy had defeated Billy Rhodes, Hugo Kelly and other good men, and had fought two terrific draws with Tony Caponi. He first fought Ketche1 in Milwaukee in June 1908 They had no sooner shook hands than Ketchel drove his terrible left straight to BtIIy's jaw Papke immediately and tore into Stanley's he seemed to be dazed. It was a. hard / sIugging match, but Ketche1s won the honors and the decision.
 Later in the same year KetcheI and Papke fought their second chg napfoneh ship battle, at Tom Carey's club in Los Angeles This time the tables shaking hands Papke 1ashed out with his left and took Ketchel square on the jaw. KetcheI took theg count of eight before he scrambled to his feets and although groggy from that first blow. he fought on gamely until the twelfth, when Papke knocked him out.
 Less than three months later Papke gave Ketchel a return match in San Francisco and lost his new title KetcheI was not to be taken by sur prise this time. and although ''Smil- ing Billy put up game battle, he was outclassed, and in the eleventh chapter was knocked down and out

THE WOES OF A LOVER

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 wonder if a man stands any chance of. securing your advice. This is my case: I am in love with a girl I have known all my life. We went to school together. My trouble is she allows her friends to talk her out of the notion of accepting me as a lover. I think the world of her. How ought I to go about it to win her? Will you advise me?
 TR Time and patience smooth all diff culties Persist in your attentions in a gentleman1y way. Devotion and Kindness will certainly win out, though the hour is long delayed. In the mean time, it might not be amiss to pay a little attention to other pretty girls. The fear of losing you would show the girl you love how dear you are to her, if she cares for you. If she is indif- ferent, her affections are not as yet placed upon you. All is fair in love or war.

WHAT A WIDOW
 SHOULD KNOW
Dear Miss Libbey::-

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 am a widow, keeping company with 9 gentleman for some time. He wishes to marry me. He is old, but has money. How can find out just how much he is worth, also if he loves me?
 MRS. c. L. The fact that he has offered you his heart and hand should be sufficient proof that he loves you. As to his wealth, widows are supposed to know how to spar around that point with diplomacy from past experience
 Remember: Wealth will not com pensate for love. It is not fair to an old man to wed him simply for the lux uries5 he is able to provide. Wealth of ten takes wings-what then?

ToDAY's POEM
DEVON MEN.

 From Bideford to Appledore the
 meadows lie ag1ow. With kingcup and buttercup that fout
 the summer snow; And crooked-back and silver-head
 shall mow the grass today, And 1asses turn and toss it till it ripen
 into hay;
 did reap the land of yore, The 1.-the men and long men, The brown men and strong men, The men that hie from Bideford and rudy Appledore. From Bidefordi and Appledore they
 swept the sea of old With cross-bow and falconet to tap
 the Spaniard's gold; They sped away with dauntless Drake to traffic on the Main. To trick the drowsy ga1leon and loot M the treasure train; For fearess were the gallant hands that pulled the sweeping oar. The strong men, the free men, The bold men, the seamen The nenthat sailed from Bideford and ruddy Appledore. From Bideford and AppIedore in craft of subtle gray Are strong hearts and steady hearts to keep the sea today; So well may fare the garden where the cider-appIes bloom A nd Summer weaves her olor-threads upon a golden loom; For ready are the tawny hands that guard the Devon shore The cool men the bluff men, The keen men the tough men, The men that hte from Biddeford and ruddy App1edore!

BEGINNING MARRIED

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 I am IT and have been married three months. My husband Is seven years older He was always very fond of me before marriage and was jealous without cause. Now he is always do- ing something to make me jealous smiling at girls and talking about them Which makes me misera ble. Please advise me what to do.
 MRS. B. c. L.
 Take no notice of the attempts to arouse your jealousy. The very fact that you were chosen by him from among the many girls he knows to be his wife should satisfy you beyond all doubling that every throh of his heart is for you and you only. He is in con- stant fear lest yod will weary of him, and $ taking the only way he knows of Ca poor one VIC must adnit) of keep ing your interest and love for him alive. Laugh at his attempts to hirt. He would soon stop 1t if you suggested to him that what was sauce for the gander is also sauce for the goose.'' Xou really haven't anything to worry over, dear.

 1 watch of life together.
 In the year that's coming on, rich Tn
 joy and sorrow We shall light our lamp and wait life's s
 mysterious tomorrow"
 Ought a girl, in your opinion to de- ceiveE her mother. much as she may dislike doing so, by evading telling | her the truth regarding her tmeet1ng 9 lover? Do you suppose such arti- l fee on her part would make an inter ested one consider that she would make a good wife, loving and true, or would she be liable to deceive a hus- band?
 This is an earnest appeal from a young man reader. I have no doubt that young man looking for girl whom he would marry would want one who loved, honored and was in full lconfdence with her parent. There should be no excuse of any kind which will palliate the wrongs of a girl de- ceiving her parent. The true-hearted, does not share. If that mother, who has her interest at heart, does not ap- prove of the man of her choice, believe me, she knows best.
 She sets to work very patiently to win her daughter over to seeing him kas she knows him to +bs. At last she tries hard to consider that it is for the i best of her to view him as favorable as she can. This is often done to keep peace in the family. The result often follows that they marry in haste and repent at leisure.
 The girl who is good. affectionate, and truthful to her parent Will be the san1e to a husband who is fortunate enough lfo win herr Love which, is built upon ldeceit is built upon the quicksands- and is too treacherous to last for a long 1engthtof time.
 Only honorable, truthful love proves happy and enduring. What man can trust absolutely the woman whom he knows is false to the mother who loves her, has faith in her and confdes in her, hoping for good results? The leads to many woman's undoing. One of the poets has said and with much truth:
 Oh. what a tar gied web we weave When first we practice to deceive" Tt must not be forgotten, however. that the lover who seeks advice is sometimes the very one who tempts the girl to meet him and mot tell mother . A man should be honorable in principle, and not lend himself to such subterfuge as that of decei vinsy Rest assured, he would be apt to hoar of it, accusingIy after marriage, and to be reproached for his guilt
 It is cowardly to shift all the blame on the woman. Often she is penitent, ing most truthful. The sweetheart was inclined to deception by her lover. He respects her penitence, however, as does her mother. Both have been taught that it is grand to be candid with mother.

TOO YOUNG TO
 UNDERSTAND MEN

Dear Miss Libbey:--
 am a young girl whose mother is dead and whose father is an habitual drunkard. I have no one to advise me but you. | work in cigar factory. I met a young man who took deep inttrest in me from the start. He in sisted on kissing me goodbye at the gate after he had brought me home from show We exchanged rings. We quarreled and I returned his ring. He refuses to return mine. How can I recover it?
 MISS F. W H. I know of no way by which you can force a one-time suitor to return a gift 4 girl should not give ring which She holds dear to a 'man to whom she is not betrothed- Young women should not permit kissing if they would retain a mans respect, no matter what he may say to the con trary.

of having lain under the sun for some

been learned. The region where the
m died is only short stance from

Fred C. Boden of the United States
Department of Justice was in Ell
Centre for short time yesterday and
although reticent concerning his in
vestigations along the Mexican bor-
der. made a few brief statements of
what he is doing.

my report. When? ! don't know,
it will probably be some time," Mr..
Boden said in response to a query as
to what the real situation is.
"What about the alleged recruiting
that is going in the valley?" he was
asked.
"There is no doubt that there is re-
cruiting going on, but the Mexicans
won't say anything, of course" he re-
piled.
"The Huertistas are very active, in
fact, much more SO than the Carran-
zistas."
81 understand that M. H. Paroles,
the Carranza consul at Calexico, has
denied the rumor that recruits are
being actively enlisted in the Carranza
cause. Has he made such a statement
to you?" Mr.. Boden was asked.
"He says there is no recruiting go
