If Danny Morgan lived to be 1000
years of age and Jack Dempsey
knocked out 100000 men meanwhile,
Dan still wouldn't be convinced that
the Salt Lake socker is any great
shucks with the maulies.
Dan simply can't "see" Dempsey
Just a hard hitter who luckily is
living in an era when all the rest of
the heavies are four times worse than
he is" asserts Dan, concerning the
king of wallopers Say, if Gus Rubin,
Sharkey or Peter Maher were at their
best today, they'd make Dempsey look
terrible; yes, sir, terrible. They'd get
to him in a hurry and knock him for
a row Of buttercups before you could
snap your fingers"
Dan remembers Dempsey quite well
but not at all favorably. For Jack
surely has caused Dan to be a prophet
without honor He ruined Dams
white hope" and heaven alone can
count up how much Dempsey has cost
Morgan in wagers.
Dan Watches 'em
Some few years ago when Dempsey
was just coming along. Dan figured
him a setup for Battling Levinsky.
So Dan had the boys matched up. 1t
happened in Philadelphia where Dan
told all those within hearing of his
voice that the Battler was going to
assassinate the westerner in cold
blooded and brutal fashion.
1t may be recalled that Dempsey
merely toyed with Levinsky for two
rounds, so as to give the crowd some
| sort Of show for its money In the
| third he let a few loose-and there
was worry for some little time after
wards as to whether the BattIer would
| live to fight again
| Levinsky, once a fistic sensation
never was the same man after Demp
| sey crashed home few in the Quaker
City.
When Dempsey fought Willard the
only fear this Dan person had was thai
they might hale Jess into court after
ward on a manslaughter charge. The
| boys do say that Dan bet a youthful
pile of large sized banks notes upo1
Willard
And again Dempsey crossed" him
Thought Carpenter Cinch
Morgan thought Carpenter cincf
against Dempsey-and backed his opin
ion with huge stacks of green stuff
Again Dan came a financial cropper.
Dams getting little revenge nov
by spoofing Dempsey's ability. Blu
there's the idea here and there tina

Mo Pernetuai Motion.

Perpetual motion has been the dream
Of Missionaries for centuries. Many
men have labored and experimental
on the making and invention Of per-
peual machines, but all have failed.
If such q machine were invented, it
would, after 1t had been once set in
motion, keep in motion without draw
ing on any external source Of energy.
A machine Of this description would
entirely controvert the established
principle Of the conservation of en-
ergy, and since the establishment of
that principle the search of a perpet-
ual motion had been judged visionary.
Perpetual motions have been founded
on the hydrostatic paradox, on capil-
larry attraction, on electricity and mag
netism, but in every case the result
has been a failure.

CAPTAIN Cooks Ship,

The Endeavour, In which Captain
Cook sailed from Plymouth on August
%, 176S, was bought at the modest
price of f2,S00. The small tonnage OF
the EndeavOur was, to Cooks practi'
cal mind, one Of her chief merits. she
could be easily careened and easily
handled, and when he vas struggling
with the currents Of the Great Barrier
Reef her captain was able to thrust
out oars through the ports Of the yes
sci and thus turn her into a galley.
He crowded into this small ship a
complement Of So men, with provis-
ions for nearly two years. The main
object of Cooks expedition was TO
take some astronomers TO Tahiti to
observe the transit Of Venus, but he
was instructed to proceed afterward
to make discoveries in the south
Pacific ocean," 1t was in pursuit of
this secondary object that the En-
deavour won her place in the history

WITT HER SOLDIER HUSBAND
Wife Of General Grant Accompanied
Him on His Campaigns Whenever
Ii Was Possible

Like Penelope of old, Julia Dent
Grant was welded to a soldier named
Ulysses. Also like Penelope, her hus-
band %journeyed around the world. But
there the resemblance ceases Mrs.
Grant herself is quoted by historians
as saying:
Having learned a lesson from my
predecessor, Penelope, / accompanied
my Ulysses in his wanderings around
the world"
Julia Dent Grant was born in st.
Louis, the daughter of Frederick Dent,
a prominent man Of that city, says the
Detroit News. AT the age of eighteen,
shortly after she had completed her
studies at an exclusive school, the
charming girl met Ulysses Simpson
Grant, then only a lieutenant. He was
stationed at jefferson barracks in st.
Louis. 1t was not long before the
young people were deeply in love. At
ter the war with Mexico they were
married.
Like that Of most wives Of soldiers,
Mrs. Grants lie was ore OF constant
moving about, until she fell i'll, and
was not able to accompany her hus-
band to California, whittier he had
been ordered. She spent two years at
the home of her parents and at the
end of this time Captain Grant re-
signed from the army, that he might
be near her.
The Civil-war brought him back into
the service and 1t was during this time
that Julia Grant revealed her brave
and hardy spirit. She was with her
husband whenever 1t was possible, and
spent all of her time on or near the
scene of action.
She saw him twice ~inaugurated

TOOK SENTIMENT TO HEART
Father Of Dead Maori Youth Found
Comfort in MaeterIinck's Really
Beautiful Contention.

A pathetic story OF a Maori father
who was born and grew up among
them. In Asia, he writes:
When / went riding, kOru, who did
odd jobs round the place and who
rode a pony that he called Polo, came
along as a sort Of attendant. But his
attitude was different from that of an
English groom instead of clubbing me
"Mr." or "Sir," he always called me by
my first name.
While / was sOjourning In the South
seas, during an absence from New
Zealand, a letter from my sister in
formed me of Koru's death. He had
contracted smallpox. In replying l
referred to Maeterlinck's contention
that the dead are never actually dead
so long as the living remember them.
in simple words my sister told that part
of my letter to Ben, the father of the
dead boy, and the thought seemed to
impress him deeply. In her next letter
my sister wrote:
yesterday / went with Ben to put
flowers on Koru's grave. Ben talked
as If the boy could hear him. He
said, We'll, KOru, here we are come TO
see you. We no forget you. You no
dead while we remember you, Koru.
Polo, the pony, Is all right and wonder
where you are. Every little while we
come to see you. And then as we left
he said, 'Goo'-by, Koru. You no dead
while we remember youths Com
