weeks ago that the visible supply oi running low. So he put in an ap- plication for bout and promoters gave him a supposed ''set up in the person of a never-wuzZer named Jack Thompson.
 Langford won that bout-but by a shade only. He was fat and puffy; much of his old aggressive ness was gone His timing was poor and he was slow in his move ments. The endurance powers that made him famous in the other days were at low ebb and the only thing he showed that was reminiscent of the old Langford was power in his punches
 Langford's name will live in his tory as one of the greatest pugilists of all time. He began fighting fifteen years ago-and fought every one who would give him battle Many of the top-notch white men who willingly tried conclusions with Jack Johnson always steered a clear course from Langford They feared him-and his crushing punch. They used to yell loudly for fights with any living man"--but whenever LangfOrd would pop up with chal- lenge they would become discreetly silent.
 Langford ifs only 3 years old according to the records-but years much of the wonderful power of early youth. And now "Thammy" is slipping down the lane that leade from the spotlight rays.

WHAT THE RECORDS SHOW
How Saloons Affect RepopuIation Of
Trumbul County's Chill
dren's Home

Warren, o.-(Special.) I'm the 27
years in which the Trumbull county
children's home has been in existence,
Niles, a city in that county, has fur
nished 317 of the 684 children ad-
mitted from the entire county.
During the five years Niles was dry,
five children per year on an average
were admitted to the home from Niles.
In the years when Niles has been wet
there has been an average of 16 chill
dren admitted from that town each
year.
During the last two years Niles has
furnished the home with so children.
Not one was an orphan. In almost
every case drink had caused the par
ents to separate or to be unable or
unwilling to support their children.

Beer Sales Slump.

Washington, d. G. Evidently
Americans are not drinking so much
beer these war times. According to
the Internal Revenue Commissioners,
the number of barrels Of beer sold the
first quarter of this fiscal year is
fewer by 2,708,627 than were sold in
the corresponding period last year.
The slump shows that the people are
exercising good sense by letting alone
that which is injurious and which does
not do anybody any good.

Although there is no record that a

by woman by saying that there was
nothing in the law to prevent wom-
an from becoming an auctioneer.
Strange enough, it was a milliner who

1t is little known fact that flying

1t is commonly supposed that the fish

Tapping of their wings, however. is so
easily seen that it can be detected
with the naked eye. Also, flying fish
are delicious for the table.
