What We Believe

If we sll acted upon what we all he.
 ieve, what different world this would be. Everyone admits that it is more blessed to give than to receive. Yet Instead of seeking happiness by glv- Ing of our best to those about us. we sit waiting for it to be brought to us
 through the kindness of others. We are like those who are learning to swim and though they know the wa ter will bear them up if they follow di- rections, cannot bring themselves to let go. It is safe to trust to the truths that all believe, but so few act upon-Girl's Companion.

CHAPTER TX

CHAPTER TX
 The result of the Wilson fight, and Sullivans own condition after his ef- forts and the pounding Wilson had given his stomach at intervals should have been a warning to the new American champion. He should have realized then that man cant be an athlete and tippler at one and the same time. Later events were to bring home the truth of this more strongly than ever.
 Richard Fox had gained sort of victory oyer Sullivan through Will sons proof of stamina. but it was only haIf-hearted, and he immediately be- gan to search for someone who would be able, not only to withstand the punching of Sullivan, but would actu- ally be capable of defeating him. Will son, he realized, was not the man for such fight. for Sullivan had beat and hammered him unmercifully in their four-round meeting. It was practically certain that Sullivan could have de- feated his English antagonist if he had been given little more time.
 Strangely enough it was Billy Mad den who enabled Fox to discover and bring to the fore the man who later was to play such an important part in Sullivan's battles. Madden and Sul- livan quarreled and Fox, seizing the opportunity of getting a man of Mad den's knowledge for the purpose, sent Sullivans former manager to Eng land to look for the boxer who would humble the conqueror of Paddy Ryan.
 Madden held a boxing tournament in England to pick out the best on that side of the water England was shy of first-class heavyweights at that time, and Madden was there to get only the very best.
 Charley Mitchelrs selection came after he had been beaten by man larger than himseIf-Arthur Roberts, but the stamina of the smaller man and his ring generalship proved to Madden that Mitchell was really the better man of the two for the long finish fight that he was then consider ing Mitchell was brought to America.
 The Englishman was given plenty of advance advertising, and when he landed in this country he had already acquired considerable of a following He was given a trial match before it was finally decided to send him against Sullivan. Mike Cleary was picked as the first opponent of the sturdy Englishman and the match was held April g, 1883 in New York Sullr van saw the fight and picked Cleary to win, but the American was defeated in three rounds by the clever punching Englishman. He failed to stand up and receive the heavy punches of the American, but tucked underneath and countered to the stomachl Cleary was unmercifully beaten.
 Sullivan, however, saw no warning in the bout, but kept on in the same way as usual. He refused to take Mitchell seriously, even after the match was completed and the date set for the appearance of the gladiators
 "'Tll punch holes in him in a round" he growled to friends.

.ALASKA'S COMMERCE
 SHOWS SOME DECREASE

Figures issued by the Juneau cus- toms house recently show that the ex- ports from Alaska during the month of February were valued at a total of $2,314,644. The largest single item consisted of copper ore, which was valued at $1,464,206 The exports for February show a considerable falling off but this is directly traceable to the small number of vessels on the north. ern run and to the exceptionally bad weather, also due to the curtailment of the output of the gold mines on Gastineau channel

American Proves Grit

When an American is told that any
thing Is impossible his impulse is to
try to do Il without delay. For this
reason no one will be astonished,
though everyone will be interested, In
the story Of a member Of the Ameri'
can Aviation corps in France who was
disciplined by having his machine Ia
ken away from him temporarily b.
cause he had used 1t in looping the
loop-a dangerous evolutoH on ac-
count Of Its peril forbidden to be at
tempted in this machine. While, "well
up in the blue" the aviator had start
ed to perform the feat and made nve
graceful loops IN descending to the
ground. His commanding officer clos
ed his reprimand by asking. "Why did
you do 1T" and the aviator replied, "A
Frenchman told. me It could not be
DONE" II was not unnatural that this
explanation made q favorable impress
sion on the officer. and that he related
Il with admiration In proof Of the ane
spirit of the fellows the United States
Is sending across the Atlantic to hold

SUGAR PoR CANNING.

Every endeavor Is being made by
the Food Administration to see that
the country Is provided with a supply
of household sugar on the basis OF
three pounds Of sugar for each person
per month and consumers arc urged
not to consume more. Saving from
this supply enough for use during the
approaching canning season Is not re-
garded as boarding.
Il is also the intention Of the Food
Administration to supplement inc
three pound per month allotment dur
inS the canning season with an addi-
tional amount that will be ample for
necessary canning operations. The
fun utilization Of all methods which
will save sugar is, however. strongly
advised. Such methods include put
ting ND fruits in their natural juices.
the use Of syrups. drying and storage
Of fruits and vegetables In pits and
cellars.
