 Beckett did not turn out to be my next opponent. I had started train ing at La Gueche, after having been demobilized early in September, and there came an invitation to meet one Crosselles. I jumped at the chance to give myself one more tryout, with view to figuring on what would hap pen when I entered the ring with Beckett. I was overjoyed when I dropped this big boxer in less than two rounds of fighting.
 The King of Spain saw this bout and thanked me after it was over for the style in which I had boxed.

SEES TURKISH RULE AMUSING
English Author Finds Funny Side to
Life in Jerusalem Under
the Crescent.

The tradition of Turkish rule in
Palestine as one finds 1t In Jerusalem
Is simply joke, declares g. X. Ches-
terton in his book, THE New Jeru-
SALEM" All the stories about 1t are
jokes and often very good jokes. My
own favorite incident Is that which
Is still concentrated in the English
cathedral by an enormous hole In the
floor.
The Turks dug up the pavement
looking for concealed British artillery,
because they had been told that the
bishop had given his blessing to two
cannons. The bishop had indeed, re-
Gently appointed two canons to the
service of the church, but he had not
secreted them under the floor of the
chancel. There was another agree
able incident when the Turkish au
thorities by an impulsive movement
of religious liberation, sent for a
Greek priest to bury Greek soldiers,
and told him to take his choice in a
heap of Corpscs Of all creeds and
cOlOrS.
But at once the most curious and
the most common touch of comedy
Is the perpetual social introduction to
solid and smiling citizens who have
been nearly hanged by the Turks. The
fortunate gentleman seems still to be
regarding his escape with a broad
grin. If you were introduced to a
polite Frenchman who had come
straight from the guillotine, or to an
affable American who had only just
vacated the electrical chair, you would
feel a faint curiosity about the whole
story. II a friend introduced some
body saying, "My friend Robinson
his sentence has Just been committed
to penal servitude," or MY Uncle
William, just come from partmoor
prison" your mind and perhaps lips
would family form the syllables What
for?" But evidently, under Turkish
rule, being hanged was like being
knocked down by cab; 1t might hap
pen to anybody. -

TOM PULLIAM TAKES AGENCY
 FOR PHOENIX NATL LIFE

Tom Pulliam, we'll known all over the state, but more particularly fla nous up north, has been appointed agent for the Phoenix National Life Insurance Co.,, of Phoenix, a life in surance company organized by J. H. O'Riley with all-home capital and of ficered by all-Arizona people. The company has been in business one year, but their annual statement shows that they have written over a million dollars worth of insurance during that time. The one outstand- ing feature of the Phoenix National is that of it's being an all-home com pany and money handled by the com pany is all invested in the develop ment of Arizona. The company is as safe as the biggest of them and the poHcyholders are amply protected by Arizona laws.
 Aside from accidentally getting born in Arkansaw and being compell- ed to stick around there until his legs got strong enough to travel, Pulliam is all-Arizonan and believes in de- veloping home industries. If you feel yourself slipping, just call on Tom and have the matter fixed up. His head quarters will be in Flagstaff.

RANGE BAD-FREIGHT WORSE

Al. Smith, the Ash Fork cattleman, was in Flagstaff Wednesday. In speak ing of range conditions over his way said, while water on the range was getting scarce, the light rains had been just what what they needed to pull through the winter, as stock had gone into the winter on mighty short feed and heavy storms would have caused big loss. "As it is now I have been feeding calves and weak cows on cotton seed from Phoenix, but freight rates charged on that stuff has practically put an embargo on the shipment of it north; the freight is much more than the cost of the feed" he declared. While the cotton grow CTS are down and out and trying to get rid of the cotton seed, the rail- roads seem to be doing their best to prevent their selling it to the stock men; S275.25 freight per car is a staggering price for freight from Phoenix to Ash Fork and if they keep that up the railroads should raise the wages of their employees instead of pleading poverty and trying to cut them down." said Smith.
