OLD BOXER DIES ON FIELD
Dick suroe, Once Well Known in This
Country Met His Death Fight
ing In France.

Late Private Richard Burge of the
First Surrey rifles never was q quit
ter. and, despite the fact that he was
at the half century mark, he enlisted
and died the death Of a soldier. He
was once the lightweight champion of
England, and was born December
10. 1865.
Dick Burge was a name we'll known
to the fight fans on both sides of the
Atlantic 20 years or so ago, chiefly
because Of his remarkable battle with
Kid Lavigne for the lightweight cham
pionship of the world. Dick was sew.
eral inches taller than the Saginaw
Kid, and he had q considerable adj
vantage In weight. but, much to bis
surprise and that of the English fans,
he was knocked out In the seventeenth
round. He gave a good account Of
himself before he fell, however, and
there were times when the Kid had
reason to- fear hat he had taken on
too good q man. After Burge quit the
ring he became a fight promoter. That
was In 1900. He enlisted as a volun-
teer In the British army In 1915 and
served with the colors for three years.

WHEN RAILROADS WERE NEW
Engineers in Charge Of Construction
Work Had Ideas That Now Seem
a Little Peculiar.

Light on strange ideas of pioneer
railroad builders was thrown by Ed
ward S. Jouett, general solicitor Of
the l.. & N, in a talk before the Ro-
tary club at Louisville.
@The MISREPRESENTATION line" said
he, was built with longitudinal stone
stills capped with a strip Of iron, and
the numerous curves, which you have
all noted, are said to have been pur-
posely introduced upon the theory that
they were an advantage In enabling
the conductor the more easily to see
the rear of his train. The coaches

top of the hill above Frankfort. The

you may be interested, in passing,
to learn that with the exception Of q
few miles near New. Orleans, which
antedated 1t about a week, this line
from Lexington to Frankfort is the
oldest railroad In the United States
south OF the Ohio and west Of the
Alleghenies. II was chartered In 1880
very early In railroad history, when
we remember that the first railroad
In the United States was built In 1926.
and the first locomotive engine was
operated in 1929"

that one of the highest civic officials
in all Tibet begged him to stay, or If
he could not dc so to return. build a
hospital and official Tibet would help
him.
Now the disciples argue that here is
a call they are not at liberty to ignore.
Their missionary society has acted to
this effect. An appeal has been made
for four families, two Of them ply

Rulers With Business Instincts.

At the outset of his imperial career
the grandfather OF the former German
kaiser, Frederick William, owed his
accumulation of money to his COM.
merc!al dealings. One Of his ommer-
cial undertakings was to start milk
rounds, which did exceedingly we'll, in
spite Of being carried on sub rosa, for
the German courtiers found that the
imperial favor was dependent upon
their p%atronizing- the imperial dairy.
In this way the old emperor created
a huge milk monopoly In various cities,
and reaped a correspondingly large
profit. Kaiser Wilhelm himself had.
keen commercial instincts, and had a
finger In most Of the big German I'M
dertakings. In Germany 1t was cur
rently reported that Ballin was mere.

that the kaiser was the real man at
