HIS SEXTON'S SUGGESTION.
It Was Meant to Be Sarcastic, but It
 Hit pr. Halo Just Right.

The sexton of Edward Everett Hale's church suffered from that convenient form of deafness that prevents n man from hearing what he does not wish to hear and enables him to hear what he does wish tO hear. Occa S,Onally when sweeping the sidewalk Tn front of the church some stranger would ask him for information, and his usual answer was q wave of the hand. I'm totally deaf, totally deaf. You will have to ask some one in the church.
 It often happened that Dr. Hale in the midst of Il busy day world find the luncheon hour at hand and an impor- tant appointment still mmot. It was his custom 10 invite lis caller into his study and ask the janitrcss to make an oyster stew. The sexton resented Dr. uules informality.

BOXING CHAMP
 BACK FROM MAR

Frank Slavin, one time champion heavy weight boxer of the world, known in Skagway where he gave an exhibition match with the great Pater Jackson, is back from the trenches in Europe.
 Slayin is a Klondiker, and passed through Skagway about two years ago on his way to join the Canadian army. He arrived in Canada, back from the front, a short time ago and Is at the present time on fur Tough. He is 55 years old.
 When the war broke out SlaViR was working as mining engineer in The Yukon. He at once offered his services but was rejected on ac- count of his age. Later when a Northwestern battalion was formed the officers in charge wanted iron iiersmen and enlisted Slayin as their first recruit; he in turn enlisted 500 men. He refused 8 commission in the army because he had person. ally promised the men whom he had recruited he would remain in the ranks with them.
 In England Slavin won the heavy weight championship of his brigade. The old Slavin's most famous fight was against Jem Smith ill 1889 for the championship of England. The battle was fought out of doors on December 23 with bare knuckles. Slayin had knocked Smith down re- peatedly and was winning when a gang of toughs, armed with sticks and "lnuckle clusters" jumped into tha ring and broke up the fight.
 Slavim received the purse how ever and was acknowledged cham oion os England. Later he received the title of world champion on technicality, which title he held for only a sort time. In 1902 he was knocked out in London by Peter Jackson, the same fighter witt whom Slavin gave an exhibition in the White Pass Athletic Club in Skagway a few years later.
