 "Rimmy" Jim Giddings told Milt Powers that there's no use disputing that men don't make such fools of themselves over women as women do over men. If women look at the moon, Milt, they see man in it. If they hear mouse nibblin', it's man; and they look under the bed the last thing at night to find man. Why, never look under my bed at night to find woman, do you, Milt?"
 Carter Joy says that whether mar ried couple are happy or not depends altogether on how they enjoy them selves.
 A Flagstaff lady was interviewing a prospective hired girl the other day and said to her: You'll have an easy time of it here, as we have no child ren to worry you"
 Don't restrict yourself, ma'am, on my account" the girl replied, because Pse fond of children"
 Pat Hollihan remarks that the story Dr. Miller told in this column a short time ago about the discussion between an Englishman, an lrishman and a Scotchman about the closest race each had seen reminds him of the story of an Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotchman who had been sentenced to be hung. The judge asked each how he would like to be hung.
 q will be hung to an ash tree," said the Englishman.
 And l choose an oak" said the Scotchman.
 "If it blaze yer honor, I'd rather be hung on a gooseberry bush," said the Irishman.
 "Oh," said the judge, that's not big enough.
 "Begorra thin" said Pat, "I'll wait till it grows"
 Rooney and White, the heavyweight bruisers, each got little more than a hundred dollars out of their fight here last week. That was enough.
 Flagstaff can have regular boxing shows only if the person managing them can make something for his time, or, at least, be assured against loss.
 The proper system would seem to be to limit the boxing entirely to local boys-except as some outsider was ad- mitted on exactly the same terms given the local boys and without any guarantee-dividing the boys into the different weight classes and selecting as one of the chaps in each fight on any particular night the one who had made the best showing in his class on the night preceding.
 The prizes should be kept down to an arbitrary basis, so much for four round, so much for six-round and so much for ten-round bouts, irrespective of the size, reputation or ages of the combatants.
 The prime motive should be pro- noting good sportmanship and stimu- lating the boys interest in the manly art. It is great sport, better for the boy who takes it up as sport and to develop himself than baseball, or foot ball.
 A card of five bouts should not cost more than hundred dollars, with a possible thirty or forty dollars besides for incidental expenses, such as hall rent, etc. And we would have just as interesting events as any of those we have had recently, whether any of the professional ham-and-ers were partici- pating or not; in fact the least inter esting fights we have had were those staged by the travelling loafer-pugs.
 Keeping the purses down, confining the entries to amateurs and reducing the admission prices to 50c, or, at most, 75c, could be worked into a long and interesting schedule.
