FAMOUS UNcLEs IN FICTION

Who is the most famous uncle in
literature? Thirty years ago only one
answer could have been given. 1t
would have been ''Uncle Tom," who
1lWelt In the world-renowned cabin"
and whose sufferings did much to
hasten the emancipation Of his fellow
slaves, London answers states. He
was only an "uncle'' by courtesy, just
as many an old woman Is addressed
as granny" who has no other claim
to that title except age. ss: q Il : H..
Almost as well known today is an.
other ''uncle by courtesy" also q ne
gro. This Is the immortal "Uncle'
Remus," whom Joel Chandler Harris
depicts SO inimitabIy as relating to
little white boy the fanciful d0ings
Of Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox, Bier Tar
rapin and Brer Bar. Uncle Re1nus
is universal favorite, and all the
children are his nephews and nieces.
Probably the most humorous uncle
In literature Is that Uncle Podger who
hangs a picture in J. X. Jerome's
Three Men In a Boat whilst I'M
doubtedly the most sathrriine ID Uncle
Ralph .Nlckleby, in Dickens master

of taking a fall out Of or Kid Time, If

boxers 60, still both Of them are placing
themselves in the limeglare as contend

Mike, who will be thirtv-four years
of age this month, on the 2Sth, to be
exact, and who is two years Tommy's
senior, has been before the spotlight
before. but he went into retirement,
was almost forgotten and then he came
right back again. Now The Phan..
TOM after competing in several
matches this yenr, including n few
knockouts, has come out with a very
bold def
"If can't win from Wilson within
five rounds" Gibbons has been quoted
recently he will forfeit check in the
amount of 800 to the middleweight
story from New York already has been
posted with Edward McMahon there.
and Mike is patiently waiting for
Johnny to accept his novel challenge.
When Gibbons was in Philadelphia
several months ago he said that he was
confident he could win the middeweight
championship on knockout inside of
half dozen rounds. But it can't be
done, you know added Pompadour
Mike, unless that big cheese steps
into the ring with me-
While Mike Is clamoring for a crack
at the middleweight titleholder, the
other member of the Gibbons glovemen
