OLD RINGSIDE SIGHT THRILLS JIM CORBETT
Continued from Page one.)

Continued from Page One.) also that if Georges Carpenter is what I have been led to believe he is. he is an even money proposition against the champion.
 On the other hand, if Carpenter is no better than he demonstrated himself to be in his public workouts at Manhasset, he will not last more than two rounds
 Jim Anticipates Surprise.
 I am looking for something sensa- tional in this fight. Carpenter, be- cause of his reputation, is the logical one to furnish sensation. Demp- sey's stock in trade has always been sensational knockouts in jig time
 Dempsey is bigger and stronger than Georges. He is better able to assimilate punishment. And he is the champion. It is generally good idea to follow the champion until he is licked. .
 Would that I might have seen Georges fight, however, then could erase some of the uncertainties that crowd into the pictures. The French man has impressed me strangely. His talk of fights and fighters is highly in- teIligent. His record shows that he possesses a winning punch and that he has stood up under several terrific beatings.
 If he has the nerve and control he has led me to believe he possesses I will not be surprised if he succeeds in getting Dempsey very much ratt1ed. If he still has the kick in his punch and can hit Dempsey on the jaw he will stand a good chance of winning But Dempsey will not be idle. He is cyclone. Can Georges turn this cyclone aside? Has he the defense necessary to weather the storm of the champions initial onslaughts?
 I would not be surprised to see this fight end in the first round. It would not surprise me, either to see Carpenter make sucker out of Dempsey, as a boxer because of What t they tell me of the challenger.
 Again, I would not be non-plussed should the fight go 12 rounds.
 This fight is a whole lot like my fights with Jeffries or Fitzsimmons if the advance "dope" runs true to form on Carpenter.
 I went along easily and confident ly with Fitz until he suddenly won in the 14th round. Against Jeff I was the leader on points for p rounds
 l have noticed particularly that a lot of people, especially some who have seen Carpenter fight, are pre- dieting that Georges will win, yet 80 per cent of those to whom I have talked believe Dempsey will be win ner, making it all the more uncer- tain because so few have seen Georges in action

KANSAS GATHERS
 BIG WHEAT CROP

Topeka, Kan, July 2-Another bumper wheat crop has been gathered in Kansas. In spite of a shortage of harvest help, the crop has been cut in this State, which is aptly described as one vast field of golden wheat, and the whirr of the threshers has sound ed from one end of the State to the other.
 Figures just compiled by J. c. Moh- Ter. secretary of the State Board of Horticulture show that Kansas pro- duced the enormous total of 6S1, ,24S,- 900 bushels of wheat in the six-year period ending with the~1919 crop.
 In that time Kansas produced more wheat than the whole of Australia and from one-ha1f to two-thirds as much as Argentina, Italy, France or Can ada. Kansas wheat was more than one-tenth of the total raised in the entire United States.

PROBLEMS IN FOREIGN Ex-
CHANGE. BY Prof. Martin J. Shu-
grue. ID. Appleton a. Co.
Prof. Shugrue is to be complinented
on his simple and direct treatment in
a comprehensive manner of the rather
complex conditions that surround the
operation of foreign exchange mar
kets and the methods involved in sound
international banking based on the
transfer of credits arising I'm trade.
The various problems that occur are
tried out in a series of examples which
revs<i and instruct in the essential
Processes that come to bear Under diff
ferent applications of principles that
are always the same. At the present
moment there is a very unhealthy
atmosphere OF feverish speculation
around the whole subject OF foreign
exchange. and the commerce OF the
world is sorely embarrassed as a re-.
suit, with serious political effects also.
But those who would study high
finance from that angle and look for
aid while dabbling In marlts, francs or
crowns will derive no help from this
practical little book. useful as Il will
be to many navigating the new waters
of export trade or buying their raw
materials in remote markets.

long been a scapegoat for "the terrible
year" 1t is sufficient to say that Mr..
Geer is not blind to the defects Of
character In his hero nor to the vari-
GUS influences which went to encom-
pass his final disaster. He does a
greater service, however. in attempt
ing to correct the injustice OF the pop
ular estimate OF Napoleon Ills char
acter, in showing him as, IL not man
Of genius. then as at least a man Of
exceptional intelligence and ability. Of
great personal charm, a spoiled child
OF destiny whom destiny turned
against at the last.
The interest OF the general reader
will. no doubt be aroused, not so much
by the justice rendered Napoleon III.
as by the intrinsic fascination of a
man who dared greatly and believed In
his star. who ventured nobly and came
TO ignoble grief. The book is well writ
ten and well documented.

punish an animal much if you can

not to overwork the animal. II you do

Gus schemes finally decided to stake
everything on one bold stroke"
The animals Forepaugh exhibited
were in three separate cages, and
Forepaugh made use of but one at a
time. The idea came to Conklin that
it ought to be possible to work all
three cages at one time. About 2
o'clock one morning Conklin made up
his mind to try out his experiment.

tol Conl<lin opened the door of the

NAPOLEON THE THIRD: THE RO-
NANCE OF AN EMPEROR. BY
Walter Geer. Brentanos.
Walter Geer, the author Of "Napo-
leon the Third. the Romance of an
Emperor" may well have hesitated
In the choice of a subtitle for his
interesting volume There is a
temptation in the mind OF the present
reviewer to think of this extraordinary
career in terms of melodrama rather
than OF romance. The life of Napo-
leon III. calls upon all the elements
Of melodrama save the happy ending.
Destiny played large part In the life
Of this man; but the mans own con-
viction of destiny played an even
larger part. If circumstances on occa-
sion favored him, as at the time of the
Revolution of as, more often he
turned circumstances to his advan-
tage, as in the Coup d'Etat of 81.
Mr.. Geer does a real service IN
presenting a life of Napoleon Ill. little
numbered with abstruse political theo-
ries; II 1t was his purpose to reveal a
character little understood In the last
half century he has succeeded admir-
ably. He has not concealed those
weaknesses OF character by which
Napoleon III. is generally known; and
he has In addition done justice to the
very real merits which that Emperor
possessed. In the popular mind the
figure of Napoleon Ill. is too often as
ISOLATED solely with the pathetic de-
bacle of Sedan and the anti-climactic
years at Chislehurst. The present
book affords an opportunity to see
Napoleon the young man. serious, sin
gle minded. filled with a sense of his
destiny, the man who could commit
himself TO such rash folly as the
Strasbourg attempt OF '36. or the
Boulogne attempt Of 40; the man who
could fill his six years of confinement
at the Chateau OF Ham with serious
and profitable study. and could at the
end of those six years bring about one
Of the most audacious escapes In his
tory. Or the man who could rise i'm
three months from the position OF

This is a story OF London. Although

And so Andrew enters the pawnshop

tracted by Zillah. the old mans grand
daughter. She is a heroine who seems
20 step out of the pages of Disraeli.
On a subsequent visit TO the restau-
rant the hero finds that Multenius
has just been murdered. Suspicion
points to him strongly. His fate
hangs primarily on proving that GER
tain rings which he tried to pawn
were a gift from his mother, and
there is no one who can help him
prove It When all seems going well
fate gives him another knock or two;
but in the end he comes out triumph

forth the further entanglements OF

end borrows hint from Sax Rohmer

Conklin told O'Brien the following
morning OF his experiment. At first
O'Brien did not believe him, but find
ing that Conklin was in dead earnest
told him to keep on working them
in this manner. Conklin did, and the
result was that when Forepaugh's
contract expired Conl1lin got his job,
and from that day on Conklin had. no
doubt, exhibited more lions than any
man In the country.
In 1880 Mr.. Conklin went out to New
Zealand and Australia. During the
