N MIDDLE LIFE
Man Is Called Upon to Summon
Up Reserve Power.
Then Is the Time That Opportunity
Seems Left Behind and Life
Holds Little More.

A biographer of Mark Twain asserts
that the middle years were the time Of
his testing. BY his power as a writer
he rose rapidly. He was prosperous
and happy in his home life. He faced
Il bright future, says a writer In h
Arkansas Thomas Cat. Then came
the crash Of the publishing company
In which he was heavily involved and
by which he was challenged TO prove
his integrity. Mark Twain had con-
quered the giants of obscurity and
poverty that beSet him in his youth.
He was now called upon TO endure the
secondary strains of middle life.
~Biographers say hat such an expert
ence is not unusual. The middle years
are the dangerous years for many
men. The flush of the morning is
over and the heat Of the day has ar
rived. Opportunities have come and
gone. Life has settled into a routine
and q discipline. Habits have be-
come fast and hard, and the unknown
has little charm of mystery about 1t.
Life is a challenge TO youth. To those
in middle years il often appears dull
and m~onOtonous, where duty has be-
come mechanical and work is without
great reward. Engineers say that
bridges, which will sturdily respond
TO the impact Of a heavy load, often
sag and bend under the steady strains
of wear and tear, wind and weather.
The secondary strains are considered
more serious than sudden shock. HUI
man conduct Is not altogether unlike
this. Characters that do not bend un-
der the sudden shock Of adversely or
poverty, wear down and lose their
resilienCy under the slow grind Of the
middle years. The primary strains
stand revealed in sudden misfortune
or disaster. The secondary strains
inhere in dull routine and a general
SOLDERING Of life. They are the little
foxes that often spoil the vines Of
accomplishment. They breed moods
Of Indifference and moments Of gloom.
In middle life 1t IS, therefore, impera-
tive that individuals remember and
summon William James principle Of
- vs. ~ ElNtN VI
er demonstrated that most persons
live on the mere surface of their pow
er and never tap their reserves OF en-
ergy. Great reservoirs of unused
power are hidden away in the depths
Of the average human personality.
This comes forth only upon demand.
The athletes strength is shown not
so much by spurts of accomplishment
as by staying power. In moral ath-
letics staying power proves the stout
heart and brave spirit. When the Sec
ondary strains begin to operate, the
reserves Of human personality should
be summoned. For only the strength
Of the whole man can withstand the
constant wearing pressure Of the mid
die years.

Shelby, Mont, June 13.-Jumping
into New York right off the bat gave
Gibbons big thrill
He did a lot of gazing at the tall
buildings before he got into the ring
but it evidently didn't hurt his fight
ing any.
His first opponent in Gotham was
Tommy Nelson. Gibbons knocked
him out in one round.
That was December z, 1912. Tommy
got $l5O for his end.
Little did he dream then that some
day he would return to New York
to fight for some of his biggest
purses.
Eddy Reddy First Boss
His next fight was April %, 1913,
with Tommy Bergin. Gibbons had
scaled down from l64 pounds to l55
pounds since his bout with Nelson
The fight was his on points after IL
rounds.
Eddy Reddy, Jackq's brother, was
Tommy Gibbons first manager. But
Brother Mike always was with him
and was in his corner
Then came a scrap with AL -Worgin
up in Hudson, Wis. The place seat
ed about 1900 They packed it close
to 1000. The aisles were SO jammed
Tommy literally had to walk over
the crowds shoulders to get into the
ring
He scored knockout in four
rounds. His prize money totaled
$4OO.
. After this Tommy turned his at
tention to the big fellows.
Breaks Miske's Jaw
On Feb. 8, 1914, he went into the
ring with George (KnockouO Brown.
Brown was going good then. But
Gibbons won in 10 rounds. That
was his hardest and first real fight
A few days later he took on Billy
Miske. Again he won in 10 rounds.
And he broke Miske's Jaw.
Brown wanted to fight him again.
They were matched to go at Madison,
