This Is a bit Of British logic brought
back from pieadilly by Tex O'Rourke
matchmaker Of the international
Sporting club, who recently made a
tour Of Europe for amateur talent.
II is a rather unique way Of figuring
a fight, but IT shows how the British
differentiate between fighting and
boxing.
In England and France, according
to O'Rourke, II is an opinion close to
u conviction that Carpenter will be

France VIII Offer Odds
In France they are offering odds Of
two 10 one while the British are will
ing to wa ger at five to four that Demp-
sey will lose to the Frenehman.
They have never seen Dempsey and
they rank him on par with Bill Bren-
nan, Frank Moran and others Of the
so-called second division of American
heavics.
The fact that Frank Moran disposed
of Joe Beckett, the English champion
in two rounds did not cause the Eng

Matters went from bad to worse when
the lilly love-" who was proving so far
from what his bride had expected, began
to disappear from home for hours and
sometimes days at a time.N He, explained
that these absences were necessary, as he
was trying to find work as photographer,
but this failed to satisfy his bride.
'If he made any money at photography"
she declares, che never brought 1t home"
Finally Juanita's grievances over the un-
equal division of the household expenses,
her husbands mysterious absences from
the family Preside and his utter lack OF
sympathy with her pagan theories, be-
came unbearable. Within few short
weeks after their surprising wedding they
separated, and as soon as the law permits
the divorce court will probably bring an
end to her second ill-starred romance.
1t was three years ago when John
Reayis, her first JUAN appeared at
Juanita Miller's home on the hills above
Oakland and won this truly unusual girl
in a rapid wooing. Until the day he ap-
peared at her home she had never laid eyes
on him. But she declared that he had for

years been the companion of her dreams
and that she had finally summoned him
to her side all the way from the Philip
pines by a thought-wave message consist
ing of the one word:
"Come!"
Juan the First" came. What Juanita
Miller called only trial marriage but
what the courts later decided was fully as
binding as any, quickly followed. The we'd
ding took place, like her later one, in the
full of April's moon, but 1t was not at
tended by any strange barbaric cere-
monies
This first marriage, however, ended in
disaster even more quickly than the sec
oud one, which had all the charms of an
tiquity to reinforce its vows. Before the
honeymoon was fairly begun Juanita al
legged that Reavis had formerly been on
intimate terms with three dusky Filipino
maidens whom he knew as Peaches"
Pickles" and "Cita." She found It impos-
sible to forgive this alleged disregard of
the color line in her husbands past, so
she Indignantly cast him out of her life.
The entrance of Juan the Second" into
Juanita Miller's life was yet more dra-
matte. She was in her garden one even
ing when John Reed CHANGED to be passing
along the road outside. He was so struck
with Juanitas witching beauty that he
could not resist the temptation to leap the
fence In one mad bound and plant his
manly feet by her side, right in the middle
of her tulip patch!
As soon as Juanita recovered from her
quite natural surprise she found herself

very unconventional daughter of Joaquin
Miller, the famous poet of the Sierras," is
convinced by the dismally speedy wither-
ing of her lilly love'-the fair flower Of
romance on whose bloom she had relied to
make up for an earlier unfortunate expert
ence with love and matrimony.
Juan the Second" as Juanita chris
tened her second husband, has miserably
failed to live up to the heroic part he was
to play in the poetic idyll of her love
dream. He is, she explains, too hopelessly
onslaved by the petty things of existence
ever to be raised to the exalted heights
where she declares her own soul floats
ecstatically in the roseate fumes of incense
burned to her pagan gods.
The poets daughter did not give up hope
of attaining the joys of pure white lily

quent sacrifices to strange gods.
But all to no avail. At last Juanita Mil
Ter was forced to admit that she had made
a sad mistake In lavishing what she
termed the "red blaze of her passionate de-
votion" on such an unworthy flower as this
'lily love" of hers proved to be.
John Reed-as her husband was known
before he was re-christened with extraor
binary pagan ceremonials Juan the Sec
ond"-proved of the EARTH earthly. In dis
GUESSING her separation from him and her
plans for a divorce Juanita Miller alleges
that she was disappointed to find in him
none of those spiritual, soul-filling quail
ties" which she feels her own nature re-
,sdires as its complement.
Curiously enough the grinning skull of
the family COW, which had been counted
on to exert such potent influence In
bringing the newlyweds happiness, proved
one of the very things which helped to
drive them apart.
The skull of the faithful old bossy that
had supplied Juanita's parents with milk
and cream was, so she declared, the most
precious of talismans-one that If prop
erly propitiated with incense-burning and
other rites could hardly fail to bring mar
ried happiness.
In the barbaric wedding ceremonies. cele-
brated by the light Of a full moon on

skull played a prominent part. 1t reposed
by the bier on which the bride in her robes
of burlap lay like corpse to symbolic the
unhappiness of her first marriage. And
when she was finally revived by her lilly
loves" rapturous kiss of life" she carried
the skull as more conventional brides
carry bouquet while she went through
the rest of the mystic ceremonials.
On starting her honeymoon in the com.

above Oakland, Cal, the bride treasured

would reverently kneel. burning strange
smelling incenses in its honor and uttering
The while the words of pagan spells and
incantations.
But, as Juanita soon learned to her sor-
row, her husband shared none of her rev.
erence for the cows skull as a power for
happiness. He thought the place 1t occu-
pied on the wall could have been used to
better advantage for his pipe rack, and he
actually joked about what he rudely
termed the skulls "bonehead" expression.
One morning Juan the Second" came
down to breakfast just as Juanita had COM
pleted her morning ceremonials before the
SAUL.
Whats the matter" he exclaimed, sniff
ing the smoke-laden air CONTEMPORARY,
burning old shoes?"
With an effort Juanita restrained her
Impotence at this irreverent question and
explained that it was only the fumes of
the burning incense.
Don't you think the odor delightful?"
she asked sweetly.
Cant say that I do he replied with
cruel frankness. Personally I prefer the
aroma of bacon and eggs"
And then, as Juanita charges, this man
who was proving so different from the
lilly love" of her dreams, actually had the
audacity to chide her for having delayed
the preparation of breakfast in order to
practice heather rites" before the grin
ming cows skull. He declared his belief
that a civilized home was no place for this
grim relic of the barnyard and that II
should have been thrown out with the gar
bage long ago.
This quarrel did not shake Juanita's
faith in the potency of the cows skull and
her other pagan symbols in the least, but
it did make her begin to suspect that she
had again made a lamentable mistake in
the choice Of a mate-that he was too
bound to earthly things ever to rise to the
heights where she dwells.
The controversy over the cows skull
was followed by quarrels over many other
things that contrasted strangely with the
picturesque ceremonies with which their
troth had been plighted one moonlight
night In April. These disagreenfents had
to do with things which romantic Juanita
had never dreamed would arise to blight
and wither her white lilies of an an
swered prayer"
Many Of the quarrels were over sordid
money matters In fact, Juanita's beauti-
full theories of lilly love" seem to have
received their death blow when brought
into rude contact with mercenary house
hold expenses, theatrical salaries and mil
linery bills. All the pagan rites and SYM

PACT AS MENACE To
FRIENDSHIP OF j. S.
rRepublican A. p. Leased wIre1

LONDON, June 30-The mainten-
ance of cordial relations between
Great Britain and the United States
was emphasized by all speakers yes
tnrday at the imperial conference
which continued the discussion of the
Anglo Japanese alliance. There also
was virtual unanimity in favor of
conference of the powers chiefly IN
terested in the Pacific to discuss dls-
armament, spheres of influence ana
all matters affecting their interests
The Canadian premier, Arthur
Meighen, who opposed the alliance,
insisted that there should be no act
that might possibly affect the good
relations between the United States
and Great Britain and that great good
would accrue from a conference OF
Great Britain, Japan and the United
States. He insisted also upon the
worlds great need of disarmament.
Premier Hughes of Australia who
delivered the longest speech of the
day, argued in favor renewal of the
treaty on the ground that 1t was bet
ter to have Japan a friend in the Pa
eific than an enemy.
Canadians here consider the sug-
gestion of a referendum of the Ca
madam people to uphold or reject the
proposals decided upon at the i'm
perial conference as fantastic. They
point out that it is question for
the dominion cabinet to decide, with
possible reference to its parliament
Some of the legal men attached to
the conference have expressed the
opinion that the Anglo Japanese trea-
ty already has been denounced
through the action of the British and
Japanese governments in announc-
ing TO the league of nations that the
treaty would have to comply with the
leagues terms. 1t is understood, how
ever, that Japan opposes this view.
