New York Sept. a.-Charies Mitchell
Of Mitchell House. Hove. Sussex, Eng
land, is m town for few days, stopping
at the Woodstock. II this means nothing
TO you, Il might be said that GrandfstheT
Charley Mitchell, landlord over an es-
tate Of 1000 acres in the South Downs,
Is here
But anyway, he ia the same Charley
Mitchell who Fought John L. Sullivan
in the original Madison Square Garden
back in lss2 But not one Of his friends
recognized him. He weighs Iss pounds-
Just forty-three pounds more than his
fighting weight.
He Is now an English farmer, with n
waist line unsuited TO his build. ana he
has general round and benevolent look
Nothing seems quite the same TO him
The dappeT old crowd-such as are LEFT
are now mostly gray heads or bald heads,
and many stump around with canes
Some have barrel bodies, and som. srs
bent and many broke.
Harry Hilrs, where he was first intro-
ouceo In 1888. and Billy McGlory's and
John horrissey's, and all the other places
have long since faded away.
The Mitchell farms in England are
dotted around the South Downs, each
with its tenant There are between siYty
ana seventy houses on the estate, enough
|
IN one neighborhood. The agent handles
the farms, and all Landlord Mitchell does
is enjoy q life Of luxury.
II was az Jacks and the hour was 4
a. m. party Of six came in. Five OF
them were New Workers. Il was easy 70
! be seen by their tired look. but the sixth
was young country-fed girI-s breath
from the West and she wac tust BEGIN
ming to be alive
The crowd was noisy, and she, too. en-
/ tered into the spirit Of the place Finally
she stood upon a chair with a Elass aloft
and shouted
I'm a wild prairie flower,
Growing wilder every hour,
Nobody ever cultivates me.
I'm wild"
Horticulture note: An Ohio woman
/ found a gold ring on a live radish. and
Frank J. Price, the hustling city editor
Of the Morning Telegraph, says he had
a similar experience when he saw g gold
ring on dead beat"
| Just when Il seemed certain that the
occult movement in this nation would
lose the last trace Of philosophical and
scientific teachings, as eNemplified by the
ancients Of Egypt there came to New
York the other day Hach Nactzin Fl Do

| With tears in his eyes and his hair
| in bTaids. the hlerophsnt of the mysteries
| OF Isis frankly tattled on the early Chris

conduct regarding ancient culture and

down the prehistoric dust chute
| Fortunately the great. great RreEf

Mactain El Dorado Can nailed some Of
| these teachings. and hid them in his
garage. They descended through the ages
( as the property OF the Can Can family
and, after yeahs and yeahs and yeahs,
New York is TO get them verbatim
