LETTER FROM SALLY ATHER-
TON TO BEATRICE GRIMsHAW
OF course, I didn't get a minute of
time to say anything wanted to
you while you were here, Bee, deara
Sometimes think THAI when any
one writes as frankly and sincerely
as you and to each other, friend
ship Of long standing is on safer
ground than when one depends upon
hurried visits when so many other
things have to come between.
I'm quite sure you never have
looked forward to something super
latively bhssful. I'm quite sure that
in your sensible mind you have
known that marriage is really only
a business partnership by which two
people OF presumably the same
tastes and station in society, pledge
themselves to help carry on the race.
II YOU look for only this you will
probably get much more.
There. you didn't think that Sally
would say this to you, did you? I've
always known that this is the true
meaning Of marriage. Bee, and that
is why I have always fought against
II don't want children. I'm sell
fish enough to want complete free
dom. If go to the devil l want
to go in my own way without taking
anybody with me. Consequently. 1
always chafed against my marriage
with Sam. even when / was presum'
ably. to my friends, most content
with It.
Some women are not made for
marriage, my dear. just as some wo-
men are not made to be writer's OF
advertising copy or private secre-
taries or school teachers or boarding
house keepers. Marriage, which sets
upon men much more easily than At
does upon women, can be taken up
by them as a kind OF sideline, but
for us it is not only a life work. but
pretty nearly our nfe's only recrea-
ton.
Don't smile, Bee. Marriage and
weddings always affect me this way
and I don't want to think about
marrying myself, neither do want
to see my friends weddings. I wish
they would not invite me, and
don't like them. I can't say that I
would wish that I had never mar
ried. for think every woman should
have that great experience. But I'm
glad my experience is over, and
can settle back into doing just the
things I want to do IN just the way
want to do them.
Perhaps Tn a little more antagon-
istic to the whole matter today than
ever, because I am afraid our poor
friend Leslie has come a cropper.
Some dirty dog-and between you
and me I think it's some one very
near her-wrote an anonymous let
ter to Mr.. Prescott about an old
lover Of hers, some one who had
known her since childhood, who it
seems gave her a present Of a fabu-
!ous string Of pearls and told her
that they were imitation. Rather
romantic, that!
Leslie, poor child, was always gull
lible, and accepted them in the same
spirit that they were given in. In
fact, I think she didn't know that
this Karl Whitney gave them to her
at all, but thought that her sister
was the donor.

Cruel Son

Dear Miss Lee am 10 years old and
am going with a man OF %. He treats
me wonderfully and gives me almost any
thing I want The only trouble is that
know he is not good to his mother. and
wonder whether he would make a good
husband.
His mother is not very well. and he lets
his brothers take care of her although he
really could give much more than he does.
She has always been good to him, but l
guess she let him grow uD to be selfish.
He has not asked me to marry him, but
I think he is in love with me. Mother
wants me TO stop going with him. What
do you think? WORRIED.
The same as your mother-that the
mans a cad. Any man who would
mistreat his mother has a yellow
streak so wide he. never can obliter-

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 10
Wendell Phillips quintet of Chicago
invaded the lair of the Lincoln Tiger,
here Monday night, choked its smart
and drew it's claws and when the battle
was over, trotted off the floor with the
big end of 23-1S score.
The lads from the Windy City easily
outclassed the Tigers. More than 6,OO0
fans saw the game in the huge Con
yention hall. The game was thriller
from start to finish. Scott and Berry
were the outstanding stars of the game
and played superior brand of ball all
through the fast and furious contest.
The Lincoln Tigers never over came
the lead the Wendell Phillips boys got
on them. This is said to have been one
of the most largely sttended games
ever staged in K. C. Spectators came
from all parts of the Kansas cities ana
the surrounding territory to see the
contest.
1t is said the wide publicity given the
contest by the Kansas City Call prior
to the game is responsible for the large
attendance.

If any other fighter was ever held
in the esteem which is Joe Cans we
have not met up with him. Wherever
lovers of sport forgather and boxing is
the theme, Cans is acclaimed as the
suuarest shooter of all. The men who
fought him and whom he licked give it
to the Bronze Baltimorean. Jack Han
lon, the Philly promoter, suffered TWO
defeats at the hands of the Old Master
and today he says that Cans was the
cleanest and greatest boxer he ever
met. His first bout with Joe was a ~
round decision affair at Ford's Opera
House, Baltimore in the spring Of 1901.
1T went the limit and Joe was returned
the winner.

fight Cans on September l, 1901. On
the 18th of August he broke his should
or while training and the fight had to
be cancelled.

Jack assented. He weighed las and
had to make 1875, ringside, three Gays
later. Such a rapid reduction weakened
him and when he faced Joe in the
Eureka Club, Baltimore, he knew that
if he did not get Cans with one punch
it was curtains for one, Jack Hanlon.
an the first round he dropped Cans
to his knees, but that one punch, on
which he had staked everything, was
not enough. In the second round Cans
hit him and-to use Jacks own words
knocked him Is feet across the ring,
the bell saving him. The third round
was the last. The Old Master rained I.
