SPORTING
WRITER TELLS ABOUT
BOB FITzSIMMOhS

A famous New York sport writer
paid tribute to the memory of the late
Bob Fitzsimmons, in mis- paper as fol
lows:
Men paid their last respects to Bob
FitZsimmons, fighting man, in this city
the other day. They came f,om fan
and near, men who had loved the
quain. warrior, men who had fought
him toe to toe in ferocious tests OF
courage and breeding, men who had
worked with him and gloried in his
cOnquests-all these and more. came
to hear a last word or two of Bob"
Their very presence at the Campbell
Funeral church was a tribute to the
memory of the man who was supreme
as a modern gladiator.
There came a little man. A very
little man with white hair. He mingl-
ed with the rest and nobody noticed
him because nobody knew him. Even
Joe HUMPHREYS failed to nod as the ill
tie man walked in silently and took up
a position near the organ, just as jim
Corbett was telling them that it was an
honor to have been defeated by Bob
Fl .zsimmons.
The little man listened, drank in ev
cry word that Corbett said.
Dunellen had sent Dr. John Hen
bricks over to tell them what Dunellen
had thought of Fitzsimmons, the
man. DR.. Hendricks liked Fitzsim-
mons, and he said so in words that
brought tears TO the eyes of every one,
and especially to the eyes of the little
white haired man who stood by the or.
gan.
He was the plaything of the rough
world We live in." said Dr. Hendricks
this man of nature, who was as big as
Niagara, as powerful as Niagara. as
compelling as Niagara, whose heart
was as pure as the gold heart of the
Rockies"
The little man sill listened and bow
ed his head in an approving wav. Al
ways he bowed his head

matism is out of my system. Tanlac
is the greatest medicine l ever heard

Just to think what a dreadful fix

Rheumatism is not only one of the
most prevalent, but one of the most
painful and difficult to treat of al
present day diseases. When the di-
gestive organs and bowels are not
working properly, and the kidneys
become clogged up, the whole system
becomes deranged and saturated with
uric acid and other parts of the body
and produce the conditions known as
rheumatism.
Tanlac is powerful reconstructive
tonic and quickly overcomes this con-
dition by acting directly on the vital
organs toning them up and enabling
them TO perform their proper func-
tions so that the impurities are soon
eliminated from the system in a ma
tural way. Liniments and external
applications as a general thing only
afford temporary relief. Tanlac is IA
constitutional treatment and gets right
at the root of the trouble by remoy-
ing the cause.
"Tanlac is sold in Bisbee by J. NJ

S53,116 head of horses and 2S9,062 head of mules have been exported, practically all of them for war purposes, during the 30 months ending March 1, 1917. In spite of the shortage of ships, 40,- 900 head of horses and mules were shipped in January, 1917, and more than 27,000 head in February, 1917.
 Recent reports from the battle front relating to the loss of hundreds of pieces of artillery by the Germans in recent operations state that the loss of these pieces was due recently to the lack of artillery horses.
 It is fortunate that the United States is we'll supplied with both horses and mules at the present time, but it is incumbent upon us, if we are to maintain our resources so as to effectually back up our armies and maintain maximum production on our farms, to see that every good mare is bred to a first-class stallion this season, and that every effort is made

SPELLING THE BEANS

In the old days when a printer laid off he had to provide substitute. A certain printer wanting to lay-off, was compelled to persuade man who was not printer to take his place at the case, and explained to him that he could be taken suddenly sick and get away from the office before the fraud was discovered.
 Shortly after the fake substitute lined up before the case with its many small boxes of loose type, he was seized with false pains.
 "What's the matter with you 2" asked the foreman, coming to his side.
 q don't know," said the fake print CT. "I'm terribly sick. I can't work. You can see that. I'll have to close up for the night"
