BY virtue of one of the spcediest
and most onc-sided battles which ever
decided big fistic event, Jack Dcmp-
sey, who may now wish to be known
by his full voting name of William
Harrison Dempsey, at Toledo. Ohio,
became the worlds champion heavy
weight boxer, on July I, 1919,
To all intents and purposes, he
whipped the huge Jess Willard, fav-
oritc in the mcagcr betting, in one
round. Dempsey thought the referee
had announced him winner and actu-
ally left the ring. But he was called
back and the hatchery continued for
two rounds more when Jess, sitting
in his corner, with a bewildcrcd look
on his swollen countenance, failed to
respond to the gong for the fourth
round.

ex-champion. "My strength went

Pickles. Soap, towels, tooth brush

"Oh, I know o are right about

Then we can get our blankets and
roll the other things up in them.
Well hike across country to the camp
because it's a long trip down the
river and up Duck creek to the
camp"
That's a corking idea, Squinty
We haven't had a real hike for ever
so long," declared Pickles. The other
boys, except Starchy, were equally
enthusiastic for the fve-mile hike
Starchy's training in a. private school
had not fitted him for hiking and he
knew it. He didn't say anything.
Say, we ought to pick a leader fol

were ready for the trip. Yes, Squin-

Pickles. milne, tool" said Tom and
Chuck together. Again Starchy re.

Squinty meant just what he said

about three miles per hour.
They had reached the woods after
travelling nearly 1--WE miles over open
country when Tom came in for a
call-down. He found a log in his
path and stepped upon 1t, hopping
down on the opposite side. walk

the young leader ordered. what
difference does that maker" Tom
demanded. "A whole lot if you do it
often" answered Squinty. Every
time you step on something hig you

Just like you do in climbing stairs.
It will tire you out in no time. Don't

to be all tuckered out at the end OF

"I have a lot Of trouble with my

Today'S Story
For Children

The twins were celebrating the
first afternoon after school by taking
q long nap. Peter, who had a new
respect for the twins since they were
really big enough to go to school,
asked to take some of his own money
and go to the store and get them
candy.
He came back with a big sack full
and without touching it himself sat
down to wait for the twins to wake.
But the twins were worn out with
the excitement of their day at school
and slept on.
Peter paced from the nursery to
the girls bedroom till Mama begged
him to take some of the candy HIM
self and go play. But Peter wouldn't
do it. He was going to give that
candy to the girls himself. He settled
down in the big chair to walt with
the candy In his lap. He went to
sleep and dreamed that he had his
toy pistol in school and was pointing
1t at the teacher. 1t went off with an
awful bang and Peter sprang to his
feet, scattering candy everywhere.
The awful bang was a terrible clap
of thunder and it brought the twins
flying from their beds and screaming
for Mama.
Here's ONE candy, girls. Thank
! goodness you're awake at last"

OF living 1 know, because my father
and were making cotton then, as l

this is the explanation. We were

Cotton, as is clearly proved there

has also been child labor crop.
