LEONARD AND DUNDEE TO
 HAVE FIGHT THIS MONTH
Two Champions Will Meet in Yankee Stadium on Sept. 28-Feath-
 erweight Reverses Stand

New York, Sept. 12.--The battle of the two champions. Benny Leonard, lightweight, and Johnny Dundee, featherweight, is on again. They will meet in the Yankee stadium, Sept. 2S.
 Dundee appeared before the New York State Athletic commission to- day and reversed his stand of week ago when the bout was ordered post poned. The fight was to have taken place last Wednesday.
 The postponement took place when Matchmaker Jimmy Johnston stated that Dundee was out of condition and that in justice to the public he should be given time to get in shape.
 Dundee bitterly resented the state- ment that he was not in condition and stated he was ready to fight Leonard then and would not meet him on any future date.

The Ranger Athletic club is send ing upon the field this year a worthy football team which will no doubt
 create and draw the attention of
 some of the best football critics in
 the state. Reading the following will
 give the rival football managers a
 good impression of the ability of just a few of the football players Louis
 Puppel, captain and tackle, will no doubt be very much in evidence in smashing through the rival teams and in breaking up their plays.

Huff Conrad. also member of &he famous Tomahawks of Cleve- land, teammate of the sturdy Rang CT captain, will play in the capacity of halfback.

 Other members of the team are as follows: Yasha 1'sus, Paul Kahms, John Crane, Donlan, Helm, Sinke- witch, Turner, Keesky Maverick. Kolpaq, Anastasiso.

MOTHERS OF
 FAMOUS MEN
THE MOTHER OF SOCRATES.


 The one single thing by which the great philosopher, Socrates, IS best revealed to the world. is that motto of his, which has come down through the ages-"Know Thyself.' And it was from his mother, Phaenarete, that he inherited most of the charac- teristfcs and received most of the training that evolved this theory
 Phaenarete was an exponent, even in those remote days. of feminine in dependence. Even after her marriage to Sopronfscus, a stone cutter, which took place in the year 46S B. C., she continued in her occupation of nurs- ing the sick It is a matter of record that less than a month before the birth of Socrates, in 40, she was called out to minister to SICK woman in a neighboring town.
 Phaenarete was a woman of strong personality, extraordinary mentality and iron will. From his earliest years she taught her little son to ex- ercise self-control, will power and above all things, to think for himself. She did not force upon him any doc Urine or demand that he accept her way of thinking. She let him see every side of all problems and told him to think about them and choose which seemed to him the most worth while. It was this early training that shaped his mind in the way that it. grew, and thus .Phaenarete is largely responsible for the greatness of one of the most famous philoso- phers of all time.

"One Trick q Day"
TO LIGHT A CANDLE WITHOUT
 TOUCHING THE WICK.

This is a very simple little trick. Of course, any one can perform it after having once seen it. It can be made most interesting by making it the subject of a wager.
 Bet someone that You can light a candle without touching the flame of the match to the wick.
 Here is the methodl Let candle burn until it has good long snuff, then blow it out with a sudden puff; long wreath of white smoke will curl up from the wick. If you apply a flame to this smoke, even two or three inches from the wick, the flame will run down the smoke to the cam dle and rekindle the wick in a most surprising manner.
 Take good care that there is no draught while you are performing lthiS feat T
