SNAKE ADOPTS MOUSE
PUT IN HIS CAGE

NEW YORK, June Ed y. 81
\ small white mouse placed in the
same cage with a South American boa
constructor as food for the latter, has
been adopted by the snake, according
to Edwin y. Osborne. of No. 941S One
Hundred and Sixteenth street, Rich
mond Hill. owner OF this unusual fam
:ly.
The mouse, with the aid of some
straw has made a nest in the colts OF
the boa constructor, and Mr. Osborne
declares that the most amicable rela-
tons exist between the two.
Although the snake is n-ponson-
Gus. it has great constructive power
and recently crushed the life out of a
rat placed in its cage in twenty-four
seconds. The reptile refused to cat
the rat, however. and Mr.. Osborne a
day or so later placed the small white
mouse in the cage. The mouse scam
pered in and out among the coils of
the snake without interference by the
latter, and the two have since been on
the best of terms.
Mr.. Osborne, who is a newspaper
man and writer of animal stories who
has made a hobby Of collecting snakes
declared that this is the first instance
on record, so far as ne is aware, of
snake adopting a mouse.

NEGRO Is SENTENCED
FOR LOVE AFFAIR
WITH WHITE GIRL

LITTLE ROCK. Ark, June 27.--
a. y. S)-Conviction under a statu-
tory charge growing out of an alleged
clandestine love affair with an Italian
girl whose name is rigidly guarded by
officers, has landed Edgar Davidson,
twenty year old nnegro in the Arkans'
as state prison for ;erm of twenty
one years.
Davidson possibly escaped being
lynched upon his return to Helena,
Ark, from st. Louis, due to the Sc
crecy surrounding the most unique
crime in the history of Arkansas
courts. Phillips county is the only
county in the state that has never had
a 'lvnching bee" In order to pro-
tect the name of the county the trial
of Davidson was held in secret ses-
sion. and the name of the Italian girl
never has been divulged.
The negro, who formerly operated
a fish market in the negro section of
Helena, became intimate with the
Italian girl and eloped with her. He
wa apDrehended at st. Louis and re-
turned here, being convicted when
brought to trial.
The climax of the clandestine love
affair came when the girl in the case
was disowncd by her parents. She
now is in Good Sheppard Home of
New Orleans. Being of the uarK Dru-
Inette type, she was able for several
months to pass as the mulatto wife
of the negro.

ATLANTIC CITY, y, j., June 81
q. ~ S.)--Another possibility in the
cominA Dempsey Carpenter bout is
that it may be won and lost in one
punch.
I believe that Dempsey can knock
the Frenchman out in a punch if he
hits him solidly.
l also believe that Carpenter has
enough STUFF behind his right hand to
knock Dempsey out in a single punch
If it is properly landed.
In drawn out slugging match, of
course. imagine Dempsey would have
the edge because Of his more rugged
body, yet Carpenter has proved that
he can take q mighty hard jolt or
series of them and still stay on his
feet
Carpenter may do against Dempsey
as I did with Fitzsimmons.
F'itz. hit me on the jaw-yes-but I
was going away, and he didn't hurt
me. When the fact was apparent to
him it didn't encourage him to any
extent 1t did cause him to play the
waitiro game.
Sullivan, who could hit like a pile
driver. also found me going away and
/ made him miss mile. 1t was the
same with Jeff, Croynski and others.
Now, then, if Champion Jack goes
after Georges with rush as he has
been in the habit of doing, and fails to
nail him in the first round, Georges
may find time to work out a prob
lem of defense and attack that will
carry him along despite Dempsey's
rushes and it is reasonable to say that
the longer he stays the better his
chances of winning will be, even
though he must win by knockout If
he is to annex the title.
Dempsey, of course. is a very bust
ness like workman and after looking
him over this week, am satisfied that
he is in good condition. He did not
impress me as being quite go carefree
as he was at Toledo. and, having

1t is 22 2-5 seconds, comparatively

PASADENA, CAL, June 27,-U. n.
SIT is regarded as almost certain
ty that one or two, and possibly more,
worlds records will be broken at the
rational A, A. L., championships to be
held here July 2. 4 and 8.
The track at Paddock Field, where
the events are to he staged, is faster
row that II ever was before. In South
ern California, where 1t does not rain
in summer, weather conditions can be
counted on to be entirely satisfactory
The temperature should be just about
the right to bring out the best that is
in the contenders for honors
All the worlds records are worthy
ones, and they are seldom equalled
end rarely broken However, there
are a few which may fall Experts
