The Heavyweight Situation.

A day or two ago we observed under
one headline that Battling Levinsky
was preparing to f1atten out Jess Will
lard.
Directly under this startling an
rouncement was another, to the effect
that a gentleman named Miske, or
words to the same effect, had beaten
Levinsky to a creamy froth.
At which point we lost no interest
in the proposed Willard-Levinsky
Jubilee, for the simple reason that we
had no interest in it to lose.
Finding a man to meet Willard now
Is a trff1e like finding man to beat
Jeffries around 1903. The only way
they could overcome this proposition
was to wait four or five years
until Jefries was mostly she'll. In
about four years from now when
willard is too port1y to get
into anything but a, 36foot ring, the
job of finding successful opponent
will be in order.
For the present Mr. Willard might

seats and the 1ithe-necked giraffes.

No Mans Land.

On Between the Rival Treches)
In No Mans Land how still 1t is
Beneath the loan;
Where only whispered prayers are
heard
From those back home.
In No Mans Land, how, through the
night,
Each sleeper rests:
With weary hands death crossed at
last
On dreamless breasts.
From trench to trench the living hear
The thunder's roll
Where, one by one, red doom de-
sends
Upon each soul
But safe in No Mans silent Land,
BY day or night,
Each knows, at last, deaths dreamless
sleep
Beyond the fight.

(By United Press)

Washington, Dec 13.--The United
States government now pays its en-
/ Lloyes 500 less a year than 1t did
G2 years ago, Ethelbert Stewart, chief
clerk of the Bureau of Labor Statls-
tics of the Department Of Labor, an
authority upon the subject, declared
today.
This decrease comes at time when
the cost of living has scared tWofold
and threefold from the levels Of 1854.
The salary scale of government
clerks was fixed by Act of 1853. Prior
to this there had been no regular gra-
dations in pay for employees. A GER
tain number would get, for instance,
SS19 per annum, another SS37, others
SS69.5O and so on. The work of in
cluding so many scattering items III
the appropriation bill veXed the COM
mittee, which decided in that year to
ut all of these in a lump appropria-
ton at $840. This is an example OF
the plan that was followed in the fix
ing Of the rates Of governmental pay

since that day save by the creation
of lower grades Of pay. There were
no $72O, $3.50 or S540 per annum en-
pioyes of the government at that date,

In 1854 no clerk listed as such got
mder $1,000 a year. Now clerks
are listed at $40.

than there were in 1871, but these
are comparatively few and are occu-

lens at the store for several days, she
went to the house and in passing
around to the back door, happened to
look into the window of the little spare
room and there on the bed she saw the
bodies. Authorities were notified and
the coroner was convinced that death
had ensued for at least nine days.
Harry held his wife tightly clasped
in one arm. The Threats Of neither
had been cut but Mrs. Jens had deep
wound near the shoulder blade and
her husband had slash through the
heart. On the floor lay butcher
knife, which had fallen from Harry's
hand and which had been used for the
terrible deed.
From all indications, authorities
came to the conclusion that Jens, In
fit of mental unsoundness had
first killed his wife and then commit
ted suicide. Harry was subject to mel
ancholy spells which were superin-
duced, it is thought. from an injury
which he received here years ago
when a tree fell on him and broke his
hip and perhaps injured his spine.
"The couple were we'll mated and
their domestic relations were ideal.
There was no financial difficulty, for
Harry knew that l expected to give to
him this year the fruit ranch on which
he was living Every possible clew
that might throw some light on the
tragedy has been carefully investigat-

come to the conclusion that the only
explanation for the killing was sud-
sen attack of insanity"
