, the "hardest sock / can whenever !

The heavyweight champion, bundled
in heavy sweater, and drawing his
chair close to fire that roared in
the little stove in the living room of
his training cottage. declared today
he never planned a fight in advance
that to do so would be mistake be-
cause. he said, the best OF plans may
be swiftly upset with a solid smash
on the chin.

The tifleholder still has trace of
the cold he contracted two weeks ago,
but it is not bOthering him much.
He said he weighed about 1913 pounds
and probably would enter the ring
weighing about 100. The champion,
because of his build. could pass as
middleweight. His thin legs are
as hard as steel cables. his waist is
thin and his body is lean without an
ounce of superfluous weight.
Dempsey will wind up his training
Wednesday with n couple of rounds
of boxing. just enough to get him
warmed up.
The champion will take his last
shave today, when he goes to town
from camp, twelve miles away, for
haircut. He wants to have at
least two days growth of black
stubble on his face, because. he says,
then there is less danger of a cut
from a rasping blow. He contends
the skin would be made tender by
shaving.
Dempsey boxed five spirited rounds
yesterday against four sparring
partners. lie stepped a round with
George West, a British 157-pounder:
two rounds with Jack Burke. a light
heavyweight. one with Frank Lau.

Let reverence for the laws be breathed by every American mother to the lisping babe that prattles on her lap; let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges; let it be written in primers, spelling books, and in almanacs; let it be preached from the pulpit proclaimed in legislation halls, and enforced in courts of justice, and, in short, let it become the political religion of the nation. .'-Abraham Lincoln.

 The following composition by Joe Allen was the best in Ancient His tory class:
 History an Important Study
 History is a narrative of what civilized man has done. If it wasn't for history we might think that our own state of civilization was lower than that of the ancients, but his tory points out to us that ours is the highest state of civilization. It tells how social, political, and eco- nomical life was carried on before us so we can improve on our own lives and ideals. History is also very interesting. How many people know who Caesar, Alexander, Augustus and Cyrus were and who could give a brief account of each? How many know of Caesars exploits in Britain or of Alexander's Expedition of the Ten Thousand;" not more than one out of every thousand because they don't know the value of history. History is the best study for any one who wants to improve his or her morals, life and ideals. Therefore, Ancient History is good study and everybody should know something about it.
