But without wasting much time on

To a window commanding the best view
Of the parsonage, and raised IL. Then
they clustered behind the curtains, and
watched and listened. There was

was the unmistakable clatter of chair
overturned. With IL all there was n
constant chorus of "Oh, look !" "Oh !
OH" "Oh. how sweet :" "Oh. papa -
"Oh. Prudence !" Look, Larkie, look
at this :"
Then the eldest Miss Avery closed
the window overlooking the parsonage
and confronted her sisters.

she said quietly.

Comparison With Australia Makes

Strong Men-Shame
on Puga.

Much has been written serious,
humorous and satirical about the
failure Of American professional
boxers to enlist for government SER
vice during the war and the delirf-
GUS efforts made by many to claim
exemptions.
A roll call of the top notchers in
the American ring fails to show one
name recorded in actual service.
Several have evaded the issue by en-
listing as boxing instructors at army
camps Cat pretty good salaries 1t
may be guessed), but when 1t comes
to active duty, there has been posi-
lively nothing doing.
The war has taken a mum Der of
second raters, it is true, and a large
number of so-called pork and beaners
enlisted voluntarily before being
called by the draft.
All of which is merely a prelimi-
nary to a short dispatch from Sgd
ney, N S. W., sporting paper which
recently reached America.
"Of scores Of men who formerly
made their living by boxing, only
ten remain in Australia The others
are all with their regiments at the
front. OF this ten, seven are mar
ried and have dependents. This does
not include preliminary boxers. Aus
tralian sportsmen formed a commit.
tee several months ago to send 1000
athletes to France. Boxing arenas
were turned over to this committee
as recruiting stations"
Quite difference in the attitude
of Australian and American boxers
according to this. And it must be
| remembered that there is no con
scription In Australia.
Tom Andrews latest boxing record
lists some eighty American boxers
within the draft age OF this mum
Der but four are in active service
This, Of course, does not include
those who are serving as boxing In
structors.

In Reviewing the Games of Football
played This Year keokuk Has no
Regrets Over the
Results.
PLAYED CLEAN BALL
Ten Games Were Played From Sep
ten1ber 20 to November 29-Of
These keokuk Won
But Three.
LookInu Backward,

The football season closed on
Thanksgiving day The season was
not one Of great excitement or great
interest so far as this city was con-
cerned. The Warriors, the eleven OF
the Keokuk high school. played in all
ten games, and in three only were
they victorious And yet the score
figures do not tell the whole story.
The team was looking for no soft
snaps, and they went up against all
challengers, knowing in advance
some times that defeat awaited them.
The object Of the leaders was not
so much to win games in any way.
fair or foul, but to develop the boys
by playing clean ball. This object
has been attained In all the ten
games no complaint OF any conse-
quence has been made concerning
any unfairness of the Warriors tao
tics. This record Is better than to
have won all the games by unfair
means and having their antagonists
on every hand crying, foul! foul!
Principal Reid and Coach Grim
minis deserve much credit for the
manner in which they handled the
boys during the whole season. They
have no cause for regrets.
