Over in New Jersey they acclaim Benny Leonard the greatest drawing card in the prize ring: the man who put New Jersey on the pugilistic map"
 And they aren't wrong!
 In more than thirty-five years con- nection with the prize ring, I've known no fighter who packs them in-every- whereas does Leonard. No matter where he fights. who he fights, nor the distance he is asked to travel the arenas are always packed when Leon ard is billed ss one of the finalists.
 If Leonard drew only big crowds in New York or in the Jersey rings, which are near to his home, it might be as- sumed that his pals make up the crowd. But it's the same everywhere. Leonard, on the coast in four -rounders damned every place to the doors with his each appearance. In the west and the south it's the same way
 Whats the answer?
 It's simple!
 Leonard gives the best he's got all ways Whenever he goes into the ring, he fights to win. The crowd knows that with Leonard as one of the prin- cipals. it's going to be a fast furious clash

THE SPIRIT OF AMERICA

. Lincoln knew. The expressions which
fell from his lips long ago are living
and everlasting inspiration to the spirit
Of America and to all mankind. Read
and read again these words spoken to
the WonSmon's association in 1864:
Property is the fruit Of labor;
property Is desirable; is a positive good
in the world That some should be
rich shows that others may become
rich. and hence is just encouragement
to industry and enterprise Let not him
who is houseless pull down the house
OF another but let him work diligently
and build one for himself thus, by
example. assuring that his own shall
be safe from violence when built.
Any captain who puts his hand upon
the tilier Of our country must be guided
by that kind Of truth.

DEATH OF HENRY PETERSON

The many friends of Henry Peterson
were shocked last Saturday to learn
Of his sudden death at Jerome under
peculiar circumstances.
His body was found in a room of the
ice plant at Jerome with evidence of
his having been killed by a gun shot
wound. H. was alone at the time of
the occurrence and no one knows what
was the cause of his being shot. Evil
dence placed before the coroners jury
was such as TO bring in a verdict Of
accidental shooting. Mr. Peterson was
a native of Germany but has been in
this country for many years and was a
naturalized citizen. During most of
his residence in this country he has
been resident of Shoshone. He was
a butcher by trade and worked here in
both the Gem Market and the Shoshone
Market He was a man who made
many friends and was highly respected
in this community Some time ago he
entered into partnersi ip with the
Pnrdum's to erect and operate an ice
plant at Jerome and it was while he
was in charge of that property that he
met his untimel death. He was44 yrs.
Of age. Interment was made in the
Jerome Cemetery. A number Of
persons went from here to attend the
funeral which occurred Monday Mr..
Peterson was of u quiet non com
municative disposition so that even his
most intimate aequaintances here who
have been associated with him in bust
ness for many years know but little
of his affairs. He has cousin living
M Caldwell who came to take charge
of the funeral.

beautiful princess, who was
veritable peacock in the glory of
her gowning. The prince be-
thought himself and declared.
Much as l love the princess,

is SO extravagant she would ruin

he Jared forth and found a pretty
little beggar maid who had neither
silks nor fine linens and he said:
Behold, will marry this little
maiden and live without fear of
ever becoming bankrupt" Now
the little beggar maiden, never
having had anything pretty In her
life, Immediately gave vent to all
the longings for rich and beauti-
ful things which she had been
obliged to suppress and the prince
was nearly beside himself as he
saw his riches dwindle in his eff

an employe of one of the depart
ments in that city and now come
to you for advice.
I am twenty-five years old and
have been engaged to girl OF
nineteen for two years, and we
have planned getting married next
June.
Ny financial means are limited.
/ am a bookkeeper in a small town
at a salary Of $3.50 a month; have
saved $1,000. with which I had
intended to furnish a nat.
Now, Miss Fairfax, what worries
me is this: She is a stenographer in
her home town and has become
very extravagant, or in any way
more so than / could possibly allow
her to be as my wife. In fact /
have Just received a letter from
her stating she has just purchased
a coat for $3.50.
Realizing that she may become
dissatisfied when she Can't have
everything she wants, l have al

Your problem is a product Of
the times and of state OF affairs
where a girl working. who can
earn almost as much money as a
man, is inclined to spend as much
on herself as the man is able to
spend on a whole family.
Only you can decide whether
you want to break your engage
ment or not, but if you do feel
seriously inclined in that direction,
do not allow any false sense Of
honor to lead you into a bargain
or a contract which you see in
advance would not be successful.
My belief is that 1t is always fair
er for either a man or woman to
break an engagement than to enter
into a marriage concerning which
they have any doubt.
SO much in general. Now let's
get down to particulars. which
seem to be the matter OF this $3.50
coat. or course, that seems very
extravagant and you think OF It
in terms Of nearly two months
pay, but it depends a great deal
about what kind OF a coat 1t Is. II
1t is a fur coat the young lady
will undoubtedly get many seasons
wear out OF II and will be more
than repaid for the money she
spent.
Perhaps you do not understand,
as women would. that IL some
times pays to be extravagant.

Now 'B" thinks a good deal OF me,
as he takes me out to dances and

DEAR MISS FAIRFAN:

About year ago kept company
With a girl friend whom liked very
well About three months later this
girl wrote me n letter stating that
was not a gentleman. She claimed
that a girl friend of hers told her
that I went around to different
friends of hers inqulring for her.
For this she got angry. or course.
the facts are not true, and was un-
such a thing. l tried to explain to
her that l was not at fault. How
ever, she wrote me another letter
saying that she did not care to be
bothered with me or that I should
not have anything 10 say TO her.
Don't you think that this girl show
ed lack OF interest rather than that
I have been ungentlemanlike?
other girl friends OF hers have ask
ed her the cause OF her action. and
she refused to say. II.
The best that can be said for the
young woman is that she is ex-
tremely unreasonable and IL |
we're you, | wouldn't worry wheth-
er IL was lack OF interest or
critical attitude toward you. You
may be sure that she would HaG

spun dresses, for, as she explained,
having always had gorgeous
clothes, she was sick unto death
OF wearing them and having to
care for them, and found relief
in simple clothes and simpler fare.
So, you see, II your little sweet
heart exercises her desire for fine
clothes before marriage, she may
be much more willing to settle
down after marriage.
On the other hand, / hope all
my girls will read this young
mans letter and realize that there
is no other one cause which pre-
vents young men from marrying
so much as the eXtravagant way
girls dress. l understand that the
poor dears buy all these "pretties"
and fineries in the hope of dazzling
the young men into proposing, but.
