100 PER CEN I M A N M U 5 I B E.
 HUMAN SAYS BABE

The 100 per cent man is the man who will be human. who will be in dependent, who does not take that he cannot give, and who lives up to the common every day truths which build character and develop civilizh- tion, declared Dr. J. Franklin Babb in his lecture on "The 100 Per Cent Man." at the third ChautauQua pro gram last night at Elks Hall. Dr. Babb dwelt almost entirely on the traits of understanding, broad mind- edness and humor, necessary for life of an individual to be human.
 By illustration he took the little everyday acts of life and showed them in all their essentially to the build ing of character and to happiness and a full life. There is no perfect man, said Dr. Babb, one who thinks he is perfect is a fool or a hypocrite; but man can be 100 per cent. He de plored the righteous being who judges the morals of woman by her dress, and gave clear illustration of the mental and physical develop ment of woman in the last few years which he said is aided by her style of dress.
 "The girl of today Is good because she is not ignorant, thank God, but she is good because she chooses to be-" he declared.
 The young boy should be given his chance with a square deal and the understanding of his parents, and turned on the right path toward a life of mental and physical cleanli- ness"
 Husband and wife forget the little things which make for happiness in their routine of living said lDr. Babb, but a little application of thoughtfulness and kindness can go long way in making for harmony and happiness in the home.
 And through life as it goes Dr. Babb pointed out the need for sin. cerity and love which leads to the path of mental and spiritual devel. opment and which he says can be 1 followed by every man.

 Interest centers mainly about the final go between Battling Johnson and Sailor" Dixon, welterweights Johnson is known as one of the shift est boxers in his class ever appear ing in the local ring. Dixon is largely an unknown quantity here His record, however, is good one and he has several clean knockouts to his credit He is a red-haired lad with a hefty look about him thai inspires confidence in his ability tc take care of himself in the squared circle. His sparring partners say he packs real punch and some ol them show visible evidences Of 1t He believes he will put Johnson away and looks on the match as the firsl step in his effort to get return engagement with Soldier passey' tnt Anchorage lad who defeated him las spring.

The stamp used by the postoffioe

used on the one sent Mrs. Jackson.
Both letters were of the same
tenor. That received by Mrs. Jack
son began:
MY dear Mrs. Jackson" and was
signed Mrs. Johnson" The letter
TO Mrs. Gooden was addressed Mrs.
Marvel Gooden. Dear Mary"
The letter to Mrs. Gooden began,
IT have talked this matter ovsr with

should know OF the enemies you
have. So he has advised n,s to write

Then the letter launches into vul-

stand how a person so familiar with
her family, as the letter writer

of the letter was that It was ad-
dressed to Reed street" Only old

Insanity is the prevailing theme in
