will take place at Cedar Point, about
SO miles from Cleveland on the after

arena being arranged on the shore of
Lake Erie and il will seat 10000 per

1t will take about $4,000 to pull off

to bring off the championship match
for some time All the ring material
and seats viii have to be shipped from
Cleveland to Cedar Point, which means
lots of work previous to the match.
Looks Like n Big Match
The tickets will be out this week
and everything looks rosy. there being
an advance sale of nearly $4,000 al
ready. Special boats viii run to the
place from Detroit and Toledo and big
orders for seats have been received
from Cincinnati and Columbus. over
900 of Cleveland money has been
posted to bet on kilbane. but as yet
it has not been taken. The chances
are that plenty of betting will take
place the day Of the fight kilbane
will be a big faVorite over the dis

chance will be a knockout wallop, as
he does not class with Kilbane in
cleverness- 1t sure looks like a good
bet on the present title-holder.

In the heat of the afternoon, ex-

to behold how the clouds melt away.
And about me-little people, dear
little people, who have been called into
the world to experience all the sor-
rows and all the joys of life.
These were my happy days, my real
holidays, and my soul already covered
with the dust accumulated through a
knowledge Of all phases Of life was
bathed and became refreshed in the
clear wisdom of childish thoughts and
feelings.
Once when | emerged out of the
city with the crowd Of children, we
came upon an unknown Jewish boy;
he was barefooted and wore a tat
tered shirt. He was slim, his eye
brows were black and his hair grew
in kinks like that Of little sheep.

Dumping into the crowd of children,

feet in the dust. Overtaken by fear,

were half opened One leap and he
was already on the sidewalk.

thin face and large eyes. His lips
trembled as he stood there with the
shouts and the laughter rising about
him; he stretched, appearing as if he
had suddenly grown bigger, pressed
his shoulders against the FENCE. and
held his hands in back of him. But
suddenly he spoke; very distinctly and
in Russian he said:

that the larger boys looked with dis
trust and suspicion upon the little
Jewish boy. The children of our
street were not in friendly relations
with the children of the other streets,
our own young ones considering them
selves superior and not being willing
to brock any rivalry in any feats of
physical prowess.

to arrest judges, but Murphy proved
an obstinate cuss and couldn't under
stand why judge should be immune

that didn't help him. He was placed
