THEY'RE ALL AFTER
TEX RICHARDS GOAT

Tammany Hall, penny politicians
and every other influence had
been thrown into the harness to
pull against him, Richard said.
You'd be surprised" declared
Richard, "if you knew the things
some of these fellows have done"
Richard expects to be able to an
nounce soon that opposition has
been overcome and that he has
become the holder of lease on
Madison Square Garden. He ex-
planned the reason himself by say
ing he could put put up cash
bond for the rental, while most Of
the others would have to wait and
make the money before they could
pay.

that the man who formerly be-
came all worked up over the pros
pect of seeing a champion and a
near-chmpion get together grows
very little exited nowadays when
the word Is passed out that a
title-holder is about to risk 1t.
No-decision bouts and the mercen-
airy tendencies of the fighters have
done their duty. The old fight
game Is laboring under a tre-
mendous handicap.

Richard, promoter, chaperon of
Les Darcy and mysterious gum
shoe expert, is having more trou-
BILE in getting Madison Square
Garden In which to hold boxing
bouts than he did in becoming
mayor of Nome, Alaska, some
years ago.

speedway fans, and racer who
has been here more times than any
other, added more laurels to his
record yesterday by winning the
50-mile match race at Ascot
speedway, Los Angeles. 1t was
a nerve-racking finish. Cooper
covered the so miles in AL flat,
or an average of 67.13 miles an
hour, and Eddie Pullen who was
second, dashed across the line

REMINDS Us OF SOME
FOLKS WE KNOW

In a lawsuit in which Abraham
Lincoln represented one party. the
lawyer on the other side was an ex-
tremely Glib talker. but not reckoned
as deeply profound or much of a
thinker. He would say anything to
a jury which happened to enter his
head. Lincoln. in his address to
the jury, referring to this said:
My friend on the other side is
right. or would be all right were
it not for the popularity l am about
to chronicle. He can't help it. For
reasons which, gentlemen of the jury.
you and l have no time to study
here, as deplorable as they are sur
prising. the oratory of the gentle
man completely suspends all action
of his mind. The rlomeRt he be-
sins to talk his mental operations
cease. l never knew of but one
thing which compared with my
friend in this particular. That was
4 small steamboat. Back in the
days when l performed my part as
4 Doatman l made the acquaintance
Of little steamboat which used to
hustle and puff and wheeze about
in the Sangamon river. 1t had a
dye-foot boiler and seven-foot
whistle, and every time it whistlcd
s stopped. Selected.

About 1900 o'clock bountiiul

METHOD FOR TESTING SEEDS
o'mp'e P'an is to Use Two inverted
Plates With Moistencd eIottine
Paper on Inside.

Two methods for testing the small
eeeas such as timothy, orchard grass,
cloVer and the like vary only In the
materials used to keep the moisture
near the seeds. Sometimes blottinc
paper is used and at other times cloth.
Two plates are taken and a sheet Of
oiotting paper put on each plate. The
TWO papers are moistened quite a 1T.
tie' the counted seed placed upon one
paper and the plate with the other
paper inverted over the first plate The
plates tend to hold in the moisture
out they should be examined every day
until the test is finished for fear the
blotters get too dry.

CAUSE OF EARTH TREMORSj
Investigations in South Africa Have
Found They Are Traceable to
the Work Of Man.

Mine owners in South Africa have,
after Investigating earth tremors IL
their d isli'icts. arrived at the definite
conclus on that they are caused by 10
cal cay.lgs far underground in the
mines. and are therefore directly
traceablc to the hand OF man. 1t was
found, upon comparing notes that
each shock consisted OF a single sharp
vibration. The committee has come TO
the CONCLUSION that the shocks origi-
nate in this way: The removal of the
reef over large areas throws the
weight OF the superintendent mass
on the uncXCavated portions or pillars.
At dCuth OF 1000 feet or over. these
are unable 10 bear the weight and are
crushed. II the crushing takes place
suddenly a rock burst occurs, and the
SHOCK is transmitted to the surface.
Though the effects OF the rock bursts
underground are sometimes disastrous,
causing great loss of life and damage
to the mine, the surface effects are i'm
considerable, and the committee be.
lieves that. though the violence of the
tremors is likely to increase, 1t will
never be sufficiently great to justify
the apprehension of any disastrous eff
fects. Technical advice is given as to
the best methods OF meeting the rock
burst difficulty Und ,rground.

Where johnson Made a Blunder.

The present Blackfriars bridge is a
comparatively modern structure, which
replaced the bridge of Robert Mylne
after the latter had endured, with much
alteration and repair, it is true, for
nearly a hundred years. Mylne's de-
sign, it will be recalled by those famil-
lar with their Boswell. was attacked
by Johnson with that arrogance and, let
me sadly add. ignorance which he was
too wont to display in subjects of
which he knew very little. Johnson.
with a weight of words which might
have tested any bridge, declared that no
structure with elliptical arches could
bear heavy weights. Mylne's bridge

In Staffordshire a coffin used as a
bread and cheese cupboard Notwith-
standing bis wife's remonstrance, he
told the story Of the coffin as follows:
Eighteen years ago l ordered that
coffin. The wife and me used to have
q good many words. One day she
said, I'll never be content till 1 see
thee in thy coffin We'll, lass 1 said.
If that'n content thee it'll soon be
done
Next day 1 gave directions to have
the thing made. In a few days it
came home, to the wife's horror. 1 got
into and said, Now, lass, are thee
content| She began to cry and want
ed the 'horrid thing taken away. But
that / wouldn't allow. In the end she
got accustomed to seeing it, and as we
wanted to turn it to some use we had
some shelves put in and made it into a
bread and cheese cupboard. We have
never Quarreled since it came"
