Proper View of Life.

Why is it, I wonder, that the little boy almost always imagines that out side of home is to be found the larger liberty? Why do young men fondly dream that wonder, always wonder, is to be found business opportunity? Why does the absolute man conclude that, outside the common virtues of society, he is to find the larger life? For you, my son, will sometime find that your largest liberty was in the old home, where, if there was author ity, there was also deep and abiding rove; and you, my friend, will find that others succeeded in your home town, while you failed in the world :; and you, my liberty-loving man, will most surely realize, that in the com~ mon virtues of the simply good life is to be found what you seek in the by-paths of the world. Find the wealth that lies everywhere about you. Prac- tice the virtues that you know. Cher ish the love that is yours now Value the friends that you have known; and in the superficial you will find the profound and in the simple things the things eternal.-St. Johns Bullo- tin.

intereatino Diaries.

The literary critic of the New York
 Evening Post is moved to morallze upon the importance of writing down the record of ones experiences while they are yet vivid in the memory. He says: Tt is astonishing how much in- terest an average, everyday life can hold if the diarist only preserves the original gusto of his experiences. Some people need to have the good luck of happening in at fires and ca tastrophes, wars and alarms, in order to add flavor to their lives Others find their settlements in trolley cars, street scenes, and the not extraordl- nary routine of business and domestic life. But the fewest of us combine with the virtue of enjoying contempo- rary commonplace the added grace of with an equal vividness and interest. Time holds a sponge with which he wipes away the keen est outlines of experience for the bet ter part of humanity. Could Pepys have compiled his diary, at the end of his life, from notes and memories as brilliantly for posterity?"

Boxing News and Notes

down at Douglaston Inn on Sunday.
The daughter Of the lightweight cham
pion of the world wrnkled her brow
in deep thought for few moments.

orbs Of blue, and then answered in one
word Daddy"
Freddie Welsh had Just finished his
four-round training bout with Eddie
Moy, of Allentown, and poor Eddie had
been carried from the ring by willing
hands. He was sleeping peacefully.
Several of the experts who had seen
the Old Man of Pomtypridd 90 through
his PAGES in the gymnasium expressed
the opinion that Freddie would win his
battle with Benny Leonard at the Man
haitian A. c. tomorrow night. But we
wanted more reliable advice, so We
asked Betty Welsh. being a firm be-
lever in woman's intuition and her an
swer may be the tip-off on what is 20
happen tomorrow evening when these
two great lightweights get into action.
Betty Welsh is five years old.
IL is probable that Leonard will enter
the ring under the legitimate light
weight limit of 1873 pounds, while
Welsh will probably scale several
pounds over that figure. Should Benny
land the ten-second punch. however. the
title will be his Freddie realizes this
and is not worrying. In fact, he de-
clares ne worries more about the voice
of Big Ben. the alarm clock that wakes
him up every morning, than he does
about little Ben's punch.
Having attained the desired physical
condition. both Welsh and Leonard will
finish up their training to-day with a
little limbering up work. Neither is
going 20 take chances Of injuring his
hands before the bout.
The Tribune's most ambitious Office
boy busted off the chair next 20 our
desk last night and blurted out the in
information that Terry kellar. the guy
wot's goin' 10 lick Jim Cofey to-mor-
row night, is outside with Teller says
he's John Dunn. and wants 20 see you
bout somethin'."
II was true. John Tea Dunn, the
most fluent orator cast Of the East
River. breczed through the portals and
courtesied in his most graceful manner
as he introduced kellar. the man who
will meet big Shamus tonight.
