BEGINNING THE DAY-shOw me the mystery, O Lord, of how I gain by giving. Teach me the lesson of the flowers and streams, which live in the riot of beauty and joy be- cause they give themselves away. Teach me the lesson of all this giv- ing world and of Thy great giving heart. In Christ's name. Amen.-H. NJ. E.

TRAMP SHIPS PAY WE'LL rom the Rochester Democrat

From the Rochester Democrat s
 Chronicle.
 Comparative financial shipping sta tics have been compiled at Amsterda covering the activities of Dutch stea ships for the years 1913, 1914 and l; Even making allowance for war con tions, and the favorable position occup by Holland, the showing is in some
 spects remarkable. Broadly speakiI these three years have been years great prosperity for Dutch shipping terests generally. The lowest divideI paid in the year 1915 amounted to 10 cent, while the highest dividend of t companies cited in comparison was 60 cent in that year. Vessels of other cd panies paid dividends in 1915 of from to 50 per cent. The significant statem is made that the smaller Dutch stea ship companies, operated on the tran or go-as-you-please principle, paid
 highest dividends during the years cl cred by the report. Four of the cd panies earning the highest dividends Il no regular routes for their ships, suited their cargo and ports of destinat to favorable circumstances.

Ad Club Representative

'The officials of the Ad club certainly hope that the officials of, the Chamber of Commerce can see their way clear to send a representative to the conven- tion of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World, which assemblies in Phila- delphia next Sunday" declared H. D. Cullen, secretary-treasur of the Ad club and a member of the delegation which goes to the convention from Birming- ham.
 We feel that Birmingham would greatly benefit by having a representa- tive in the conference on community advertising, which will be one of the fea- lures of the ad convention. The local del- egation will go to observe and to get ideas and to bring back to Birmingham ideas which will help the city, but if a man went along for the express purpose of attending the conference on com munity advertising it would be of great aid, for the convention will be such an immense affair that our delegation can not hope to go into it's every phase.

How Ty Cobb will look if Hughes and his physiog- homie fashion carry the country next November is shown by cartoonists.
 Another sketch is drawn from a DOT trait of Brainerd, the pitcher of the famous Cincinnati Red Stockings. It shows that star hurler possessed of a countenance concealer that even the governor himself might envy.
 And to dispel the illusion that such whiskers were merely ornamental and not useful, let 1t be known that Brainerd and his team of bewhiskered boys" played through the season of 1S69-a schedule of g games-with- out once suffering defeat. This is the record.

SPORTS Gossip About Events of National Importance and the Persons Who Are In the Head
 Liner Glasses.

TACOMA, July 5. - Recollections of old-time ring warfare. the days when men used to battle to finish on the turf under what was then called London prize ring rules, were returned to us last night when in an open field about six miles from Olym- pia, Billy Weeks of Vancouver, B. C., who holds the ring title of Canadian middleweight champion, and Johnny Fitzpatrick of Oklahoma, fought to posted cash purse of $25O and a side bet of $i,600. Weeks knocked the Oklahoma man out in the seventh round with a left to the body, fol- lowed by a quick right hook to the chin. Seventeen persons. the two principals and a small boy of about IA years from a neighboring ranch, were the only spectators.
 Coming from Everett, where the party had witnessed the match yester- day afternoon between Travie Davis and Harry Anderson, the sportsmen rode in autos to a point just short distance over the line into Thurston county, and within but about six miles of the state capital. Running their machines about half a mile off the road, through a small clump of tim Der and then out into an open space completely surrounded with trees, the autos were banked in a circle, in the center of which a ring was pitched on the short grass. The lights from the seven machines were turned on and these shone directly into the ring, making it as light as day. Il was picturesque sight Twenty min utes after the ring was in readiness the two boxers, evenly matched as tC weight and size, were stripped in tho center of the ring and ready for ac ton. The entire program, which hat been mapped out hurriedly, was gont through as though it had been re hearsed for weeks. There was not { slip.
 After the formality of the transfer of the bets had been dispensed witi and the boxers had been assisted into their clothing, the autos quietly pulled out to the road and whisked away il the direction of Tacoma. There wal no loud yelling or talking; the part, was as orderly as though attending gospel meeting.
