When Booth Said the Lords Prayer

New York Evening Post: Many
years ago a number of foreign diplo-
mats, three or four American states
men and two or threee stake profes-
sionals were together in the smoking
room of the old Fifth Avenue hotel
when Edwin Booth came in. They
had conversation touching the Bible
as an inspired book. Lord Sackville.

asked Booth if he would not repeat
the Lords Prayer for them. James
O'Neill was one of the professionals
present and afterward gave an ac-
count of the incident. Few people had
the temerity to make such a request

This cat story coming from Bloom

be true and it may not. Cats are
peculiar animals to say the very
least:
"Red, Bloomfield's champion TOM

bag of bran and purred contentedly.
while Lawrence Blamey, his owner,
proprietor of a feed store, patiently
applied soothing salve to his paws.
"Red's claws were down to the

farm which Mr.. Blamey sold year
ago. Thinking his pet cat would pre-

Liherian Hippos.

The Liberian hippos do not live in
dense forests they do not frequent
the rivers. A small forest stream sat
isles them, but they do not enter 1t, at
least by day. They burrow into It's
banks, wherever there has been a
washout, and in these burrows they
sleep during the daylight hours. SO
1t is very difficult TO trace them. The
first specimen that was seen could not
be caught, because all the native car
riers were sick, and the whole couHtry
was. so flooded by rains that Scl3m-
burgk, famous hunter, could not camp
therein. After trying various ways TO
capture the shiny Httle beasts, Schom-
burgk succeeded by digging pits

Oriuin of the "FooIscap."

The fact that the British govern
ment, on economy bent, has discon-
tinued the use of foolscap paper for
official correspondence, has called
forth a mild discussion as 20 the
origin Of the name. Most authorities
are agreed that it is due to the water
mark. fools cap, with which this size
Of paper was adorned, but when It
comes TO the question of who first in
troduced 1t authorities differ. Some
say it comes from Germany, and point
to the fact that German paper, bear
ing a foolscap watermark, and dating
from 1479, was exhibited in 1877.
Others credit the claims of Sir John
Splelman, who had paper mills az
hartford toward the close of the six
teenth century. And vet others lay IL
all to an order made by the rump
parliament which enjoined that the
royal arms in the watermark be re-
moved from the official paper of the
house, and "a FOOLS cap and bells be
substituted"

FIRST OF MODERN PUGILISTS
Jack Broughton, EngIishman, Nearly
Two Hundred Years Ago, Formu-
lated Rules to Govern Sport.

Jack Broughton, the father Of pu-
gilism, fought his f%t fight on July o,
1725. He was engaged in many rough
and-tumble fights with other lads, but
at that time he knew nothing of box
ing, which was just being introduced
by James Figg. While attending a
fair Broughtori was attracted by a box
ing booth kept by Figg and was much
incensed by the foul tactics used by
a big man in boxing a much smaller
one. He demonstrated with the big
bruiser and an alteration ensued
which had reached the stage Of fisti-
cuffs when Figg interfered and invited
the two men to the stage to settle their
differences. Young Broughton, after
ten desperate rounds, completely tri-
umphed over his older, bigger and
more experienced opponent. That was
Broughton's introduction to the ring.
After Figg's death he became cham
pion and by formulating a code OF
rules to govern the. game he became
entitled to rank as the founder OF
modern pugilism.

Association, held at Galesburg, ILL.,, Feb. 10, 1920, the following
resolutions, presented by a committee comprising Fred v.
Johnson, NJ. Hay Brown, w. w. Wright, and Ebon c. Jones,
were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, Realizing that Gov. Frank Q. Lowden, in his admins
tration of the affairs Of this state, has proven himself an efficient,
careful and conscientious official, fairly and honestly safe
guarding the interests of all the people, and that in this he has
manship, and,
Aware that he has from personal experience, with farming and
stock raising in the state, displayed knowledge and foresight
and has given agriculture in all its phases favorable treatment;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, the members of the Illinois Short-Horn
Breeders Association, express our firm belief that Governor
Lowden is, from his large business and other qualifications,
well equipped to fill the office of President of the United States;

ALL BOW TO MY LORD TIGER
Natives OF the East Most Willingly
Accord Him Royal RANKS
Sacred From Attack.

or all The animals deified in the East
none Is Regarded with more awe than
my lord tiger. Especially throughout
Siam and Indo-C China, the tiger is king.
Shrines are built and sacrifices made
TO him be is as sacred from the at
tack of the natives as is the white ele-
plant of Siam.
Ii there are fewer tigers in this part
of the East today. ii is due largely to
the efforts of western sportSmen who
occasionally can persuade, bride, or
threaten a few natives to aid them In
a hunt. Any such lack of respect on
the part of the natives is, however,
looked upon frowningly by their neigh
bors who seem to fear that the tiger
will forget the exact individual who
attacked him and remember only the
community. a
Native reverence goes so far as to
allow a tiger to prowl undisturbed
about a village night after night, at
tacking and sometimes killing those
so unfortunate as to cross his path. In
the day the sacred beast retires to his
mountain domain, where he stays en-
tirely hidden until nightfall.
1t is obvious hat the royal tiger
rules entirely by fear. Awe-inspiring
he is himself, and his supremacy is
helped along by the attitude of the
natives. To the tiger are attributed
all manner Of supernatural powers. 1t
is held that he always knows and
tracks down those who offend him he
can even turn hiihself into a human
being, the better TO seek out his ne
mics.

New Suit Begun
By Landlords to
Test Rent Laws
Ask 100000 Damages Be
cause Tenants Refuse to
d Vacate; Seek to Restrain
Swami in Enforcing Acts

The Marcus Brown Holding Company,
a New Jersey corporation, began an
other suit yesterday in the United
States District Court in this city to
test the constitutionality Of the emer-
gency, housing legislation of October,
1920.
The first suit brought by the Brown
folding Company against Arnold Polak,
a tenant, for the purpose of deciding
the constltutionalty Of the new laws,
was dismissed last Saturday. because
the case did not involve money exceed
ing $4,000 and did not, therefore, in
the opinion Of two Of the three presid-
ing judges, come within the jurisdic
tlon OF the Federal courts No attempt
was made to pass on the constitutions
atty of the housing laws.
10 avoid Il similar dismissal of its
rev case, the Brown company, through
ITS counsel, Joseph A. Seidman, alleges
damages sustained by the plaintiff to
De more than 100000 and due to the
new rent laws because they deprive
the landlord of his property without
due process Of law.
In TINS case Marcus Feldmnn, Frank
and Benjamin Schwartz and Edward
Swami, as District Attorney, are named
as defendants. The first three named
are tenants in an apartment house at
20 West Ninety-first Street, belong
ing to the Brown Holding Company
The complaint agrees that the three
Ce1endant tenants had three-yenr
Lease on the apartment which expired
IN June. They continued to occupy
the premises. Thirty days before Sep
tember' so the plaintiff says they were
Informed they would have to vacate on
that date. This they refused to do, it
is said, seeking protection under the
new legislation.
The company deposes that as re-
suit Of this holdover the building has
deprecated IN value to an amount ex-
,eeding 100000 through the company's
Inability to dispose of the premises.
The purposed action against the Dis
trict Attorney is to restrain him from
enforcing the laws making it compul-
sorry for the landlord to supply service.
The company complains that the
Legislature impairs the obligations
contracted between the complainant's
predecessor and the defendants.

Motorists Going to Game
Will Tax Boston Post R'd
Parties Can Take Longer Route
to New Haven and Avoid
Congestion

Travel will be heavy tomorrow to
the Harvard Yale football game at New
Haven and motorists may expect to
find the Boston Post Road cluttered
up with great lot Of cars. The Post
Road is the most direct way to New
Haven, and has on it two places where
construction work is under way and
oneway travel only is possible. These
places are at Greenwich and at West
port. The extraordinary congestion
will be somewhat increased by such
conditions. To show the extent to
which motorists arc expected to travel
TO the game, preparations have been
made for the parking of 10000 cars in
the neighborhood of Yale Field Nat
urally lot of folks will leave their
cars in the city and will walk from the
fed after the game is over.
Those who would avoid some of the
congestion can do it by using a longer
alternate route. This is by way of
Central Avenue. uorth to White Plains
and then again north to Danbury
From Danburv the road runs to Derby
and then to New Haven. This road is
about 100 miles long, so that it is
approximately twenty-five miles
longer than the Post Road trip
through Port Chester, Greenwich,
Stamford, South Norwalk and Bridge
port to New Haven The motorist who
elects to go the longer way will prob
ably find he hasn't lost any time by
doing So 1t is recommended also that
drivers go slowly along the Post Road
