Ac- Cording to the regulations, which are to be made part of the contracts, the pugiists will not receive the sums stip- ulated in their arrangements unless the spectators are thoroughly satisfied with the contests.
 While boxing is still far from an es- tabliShed institution, in Buenos Aires, the city authorities have certain ideas regarding the conduct of thes port, one which is that the pugilists must give the spectators their moneys worth. As a result, the principals are never paid until those who purchased tickets have signifed that they are satisfied with the exhibition. This has been made clear to the boxers who will shortly start for Argentina
 In the party will be four negro nette, Sam Langford and Harry Wills, and the understanding is that they will box round robin tournament for the negro championship of the world, un- der these conditions. The men will be drawn by lot for the battles, the two winners to meet in a, semi-f1nal, and the losers to meet for, third place.

zVRIGHT MAKING GOOD
 AS PENN CREW COACH

Poughkeepsie, N. Y., June 12-Joe Wright has proved his ability both as aesrowing coach and a, handler of men, no matter what the result of the races may be here Saturday. Every man in the Quaker camp is in fine physical condition and in the best of spirits, although the crews have gone through a most disastrous season, and none of the varsity men who failed to make the new first eight has anything but praise for the coach who did not se- lect them.
 His work as a, coach is noticeable from the fact that he took the men whom Nfcka11s did not use and beat them into a combination which is many lengths faster than that form ed from the best of the Nicka1ls mater faL
 As result of all this, the new Quaker varsity, which rowed togeth- err for the first time Saturday and which contains only George Pepper, at No. 4, from last years boat, went over the course in the morning at a low beat of 25 to the minute and at that was able to hold the junior combina- ton. rowing 30, the whole way down It was a fine piece of rowing, note worthy because of the long, driving stroke the men displayed and the slow recovery which was in evidence

According to ApollOdorus, the 1nven tion of the saw came about in the fol lowing way: Talus, so the account goes, having found the jawbone of huge snake, used it to cut through a piece of wood and, finding that 1t worked so well, formed an instrument of iron similar to it. The first saw mill concerning which we have any clear knowledge was erected on the island of Madeira somewhere about the year 14OO. A few years later ono was built at Breslau. There were no sawmills in England prior to 1863. In that year one was built there by Dutchman, but he was forced to aban- don it. Sawmills were erected near London about TITO.

A Hard Hearted People.

Fi1ial piety finds no place in Tibetan character. It is no uncommon thing for son to turn his father, when too old for work, out of doors and to leave him to perish in the cold The supersti- ton that the souls of the dead can, if they will, haunt the living drives their hardened natures to gain by the exercise of cruelty the promise of the dying that they will not return to earth. As death approaches the dying person is asked, twill you come back or will you not?'' If he replies that he will they pull a leather bag over his head and smother him. If he says he will not he is allowed to die in peace.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1S93-Joe Goddard knocked out Willis Kennedy i'll End round at Roby, Ind. Goddard, an Australian, was one of the best heavyweights of his time, and able to assirnilate almost any amount of punishment Kennedy was a New Orleans negro scrapper of some reputation. Roby, once a racing and sporting center, was in those days a favorite rendezvous for Chicago fight fans. In the first round the negro showed considerable speed, and God dard couldn't connect with him. In the second chapter the Australian got to him with one of his terrible punches and Kennedy was knocked cold. In- stead of falling to the floor, however, Kennedy was knocked over the ropes, and he hung there balanced like a see-saw, with his feet several inches from the canvas and his head hanging on the other side of the ropes. He remained in that peculiar position while George Si1er counted the fatal ten. Then he Twas hauled down, and some little time passed before he re- covered consciousness. That was one of the oldest knockouts ever scored and it complete discouraged Kennedy with the business of fighting in the ring.

When the Giants were in their memorable slump Doc in worked like a Trojan trying to in ject the needful qualities into the twirling of the dejected slab artists, and the subsequent long winning streak of the club was due in no small part to his earnest efforts. The auburn-haired Charles is a past mas ter in developing pitching talent, and in that capacity he should be good for several years more in the big top Henceforth he may have to do con siderable time on the bench, but his presence there is a moral prop to the pitchers.
 Dooin played with Indianapolis, St. Paul, Dubuque, Springfield and St. Joseph before he broke into the Ma tional league with Philadelphia in 1902. Besides doing great work be- hind the pan he was soon elevated to the captaincy of the Phi1lies. and in 1910 he succeeded Billy Murray as manager of the Quaker City outfit. His first year out as pilot the Phils made a great race, but DoOin had the misfortune to break a leg. In 1913 the Phillies were again in the running and finished second to the Giants, the highest position they had attained in a long, long time. In 1914 the Phils were shot to pieces by the Feds, and finished sixth, and Doo- in was =deposed to make way for Pat Moran. Red went to Cincinnati and in mid-season last year was purchas- ed by the Giants.
 Dooin is one of the most accom- pIished Thespians of the diamond, and is the possessoF of a good voice, which he has used effectively the stage for several winters. Charlie is feet 10 inches in altitude, and 1.-the 1y built, but strong and durable. He dissents from the prevalent opinion that a/backstop should have the p11y- sica1 characteristics of an OK or a drayhorse, and declares that a com parative1y light man with strength, agility and stamina will do better work and last longer than a heavyweight Which is a theory that is supported by Reds career.

Poetry and Pleasure.

The poet writes under one restriction only-namely, the necessity of giving immediate pleasure. Nor let this ne cessity of producing immediate pleas ure be considered as degradation of the poets art. It is far otherwise It is an acknowledgement of the beauty of the universe, an acknowledgment the more sincere because not formal, but indirect. It is task light and easy to him who looks at the world in the spirit of love. Further, it is. a homage paid to the native and naked dignity of man, to the grand e1emen- tary principle of pleasure, by which he feels and lives and moves.-William Wordsworth.

Defeated at Zama, Hannibal fled to the east to avoid falling into the hands of the Romans and found temporary security in the dominions of Mithri- gage in a Roman war, and, his advice as to it's conduct being rejected, the war proved unsuccessful, and Niithri- dates was required as one of the condi- tions of peace to deliver up Hannibal to his enemies, the Romans.
 The unfortunate Carthaginian heard of his approa ching fate, swallowed the poison which for years he had carried about his person and expired just as the envoys arrived to take him away as a prisoner.

The heat is so in tense that after a few hours only the ashes of the bones remain, all else, in cluding the structure of the casket, having disappeared in light ash or gas eors products. The casket screws and nails are removed by a magnet, and about four ounces of pure ash remain. New York Times.

TROUBLE AT PINGREE

The month of June seems to be a
bad one for a family near Pingree
The annual difficulties are in full
bloom with the neighbors, and there
is said to be naughty talk and gnash-
ing of teeth. Last year it was fuss
over a mule, the owner of the mule
claimed foul but fired a rock at the
other man and then ran. The other
fellow was game and said, 'Now
vip you for dat" and he did. AT
least the man of the rock came to
town with both eyes BACKED and
made complaint of assault and bat
terry. He had the whole neighbor-
hood in an uproar and there was a
string of witnesses in court that it
took all day to examine. No de-
cision could be arrived at in the case
because both parties had acted the
disgraceful part. It was left on the
docket to die of age.
Now it is reported that the same
man is having trouble with another
business associate, who lives near
by him, and the daughters took up
the fuss. The report has 1t that they

was away working and rushed into
the house, upset the baby, called the
mother as many naughty names as
the three of them could think of,
shook their fists under her nose, dar-
ed her to strike them, said they
would make it hot for her if she
did because they were under age and
in general dealt out as much embar-
rassment to the lone woman as they
could, and it was said to be a plenty.
They are probably all more or less
to blame, but the public should not
overlook the fact that the man who
threw the rock and ran, the man
whose daughters are reported to
have assailed the lone woman and
the baby, was one Of the special pets
of the old ring that managed county
affairs here two and three years ago
and went out of power in January,
1915. AS juror he was very USE
full to the ring and always held the
same views that the ringsters did
when it was time to vote upon case.

EMPIRE BUILDER PASSES AWAY
James j. Hill, Railroad Pioneer Who
Opened the Great Northwest
Closes Life of Service

Last week, at his home in st. Paul
James Jerome Hill died from an in
lection due to bowel trouble. The
best of medical service was of no
avail, and there went from this life
great master of railroad commerce
and community building, at the ripe
age of rs. Like the late E. H. Har-
riman, he was a self-starter and a
grand finisher, and the story of his
life illustrats American opportunity.
The Canadian Boy
| Jim HILL as he came to be known
by thousands of his fellow citizens,
was born near Guelph, Ontario pro-
vince, Canada, September Is, 1898.
When he was15 his father died and
the boy was working along when a
traveller one day noticed him and
tossing him newspaper from the
United States, said:
go there young man, that
country needs youngsters of your
spirit
Now what was there in the provin-
cial Canadian lad to attract the
strangers attention? The strangers
horse stood at the gate, looking
thirsty. Jim brought him out
a pail of water. Ordinary
men have their luck, good and
bad; great men have distinction
from the very start. Among the
men of strong initiative Hill was no
exception-he was always doing
things different and doing them first.
His Economy
For instance, it is not hard for
even young man to spend all Of
five dollars week. When Jim Hill
was earning that amount he saved
some of it. That was his point Of
departure and made him unlike the
thousands of other willing and ambit-
tious young men. He has attributed
his later position of power and in
fluence to economy. He detested I'M
necessary expenditure, but was not
a bit misery. On the other hand,
being a captain of industry at a time
when the whole rich northwest was
in the making, he knew how to spend
unthinkable sums of money to the
best advantage.

from Maine to Minnesota, young
Jmaes Hill secured position in a
st. Paul steam boat office as a steve

in busy oblivion. Evidently he car
ried his ideas of economy into the
matter of time, for he used his
leisure to study up on river trans

count his estate in the hundreds Of
millions has to begin right at the

has to know.

OUR OFFICE WILL CLOSE

In a week from now the chautau
qua begins and each afternoon anG
evening there will be one of the rar.
est entertainments obtainable in this
part of the world. Half an hour
before the afternoon program begins
we expect to turn the key in our Of
nee door and have all the help on
the outside bound for the entertain
ment. We believe it will be too good
to miss and this is one of the times
we don't want our office force to miss
taking it all in.
Usually the newspaper people have
complimentary tickets to entertain
ments and shows and stay in the Of
fee and work while the. fun
and the cheering are going on. Then
they write it up and say it was good
and that everybody coming back
from it says so. We don't usually
chafe over missing the fun, because
such large percentage of our shows
are merely entertaining, and leave no
particular influence for good with
the audience.
In the case of the chautauqua it
is different. Most of the entertain
ments are of the kind that make
men and women better; that inspire
them to better and greater things;
that instill in them the will to act
we'll their part in the battles and
service of life, and to more easily
forget and forego the more ordinary
things that do not make for good.
The employees in The Republican
office bought their tickets early and
are planning to use them till every
figure is punched out The manage
ment is glad to give them their time
with full pay, to attend the after
noon entertainments. We will put
a placard on the door saying, Gone
to the Chautauqua; Back at 4
O'clock" There will be tablet and
pencil on a string and anyone that
comes while we are away will have
a chance to tuck their message or
their order under the door. We are
sorry if we miss seeing someone, but
for the rest of the year somebody
will be constantly on the job. 47-2

also a large share holder in the
Great Northern Steamship company.
And besides all this, the greatest por-

builder and business man. He was
ever greatly interested in agricul-
ture, art and education. The loss
which his city, state and nation have
sustained thru his death cannot BIZ
