In 1871 q friend approached Baron

was a firm believer In the maxim buy
when everybody else Ii selling and
sell when others are buying" and
asked what the banker considered Q
first-class investment.
Buy French rentes." said Roths-

now" French bonds were then selling
at IS.
But the streets Of Paris are run
ming with blood" objected his friend.
THAT'S the reason you can buy

A quarter Of century later In 1885
those bonds were selling at 100 and

The applicability Of Chinese art for

being strikingly illustrated in recent

are without rivals. The owner of the

DEMPSEY READY
 FOR WILLARD
The Champion is Willing to Meet Any Suitable Opponent, Says Mir. Kearns, His Manager.

New York, July 3.-Jack Dempsey is ready to fight Jess Willard any time the fight can be arranged, Jack Kearns, his manager, announced to- night
 The champion is going West for a good vacation in few days, and after that, Kearns said he will be ready to to fight anyone who presents himself with the proper credentials.
 Dempsey, happy at his victory over Carpenter and showing no marks of the encounter, passed as quiet a day as his friends and fight fans would allow him. He had to give up his suite at the Hotel Belmont. which he oc- cupied with his manager and trainers, and seek a room by himself last night, because of the press of visitors. He was up at o'clock this morning. and rushed around to the suite to wake up the rest of his entourage. Then he had a hearty breakfatst. and sauntered off with Mike Trant of Chicago to church for early mass.
 On his return he ordered his auto mobile and drove uptown, where his three Belgian police dogs are quar- tered. After an affectionate reunion he motored to Newark to see yester days fight pictures displayed The rest of the day he motored around and enjoyed his new freedom from train ing camp discipline. After a sojourn of a week or 10 days here finishing up some business matters and answering the hundreds of letters and telegrams of eongratulations Dempsey will leave for his new home at Salt Lake City for long rest. The last two years have been busy ones for the champion, with little or no chance for relaxation, and Jack longs to have a good vaca- ton at this time-Gazette.

New Bouts Proposed.

The splendid showing made by Car pentier against Dempsey has resulted in talk of other bouts for the French pugiliSt. the most attractive of which is a proposed meeting between Car pentier and Tom Gibbons of St. Paul. Riekard said he thought such a match would be an excellent drawing card, in view of the fact that the boxers are about equally matched in both skill and physique
 Dempsey also is likely to re-enter the arena in Jersey City on eithef Labor Day, September ,. or Coloumbus Day, October 12 While Rickard re fused to state definitely the cham pion's opponent, it is believed the choice lies between Bill Brennan and Jess Winard.-Gazette
