Life is a gamble with most
people, but not with them.
Nothing important or trivial can
happen to you but what he has
to be consulted sooner or later.
You don't have to be dead to
have him sit in at your obse-
quies. He's around when you're
born, he's there when you gradu-
ate, and he haunts you after
you're gone.
Which gets US around to the
fact that millions of truants are
grabbing off diplomas and get
ting ready to play permanent
hockey from school.
A diploma is a wonderful
thing to have until you try to
buy meal with it or trade it
for a railroad ticket home.
They print that certificate of
merit on manufactured sheep
skin, but the recipient would be
better off if they presented him
with half dozen lamb chops.
It's a terrible thing to starve
to death in sight of plenty, par
ticularly when there is the rem
nants of a former lamb stew
hanging on the wall with moth
ing except thin piece of glass
separating it from you.
When you think that that
slice of goat meat represents all
the way from four to eight
years of hard study then you
can't help but believe there is
another goat around somewhere.
The first thing to do after in
heriting one of those furloughs
is to forget you've got it and
then stop reminding everybody
you had it.
Then take a new lease on life
and determine you're going to
get along in the world in spite
of that framed declaration of
dependence.

NOT READY

Mercer Believes 1t Will Take
Gene Year to- Reach
Right Condition
By SID MERCER.


NEW YORK, June 9.-And
now they are asking:
''What chance has Tunney with
Dempsey"
The opinion of a mere boxing
writer may not have much weight,
especially since so many picked
Gibbons to win from Tunney-but
the general impression right now
Is that Gene is not quite ready to
tackle the champion.
The uncertain element in such
4 match would be Dempsey's re-
action in ring strife after two years
Of fistic inactivity and soft living.
Tunney, in q year, should be
Dempsey's equal or superior in
physical condition, strength and en-
durance, but it is extremely doubt
eul whether Genes careful ealcula-
lions could overcome the savage at
tack that Dempsey would be sure
10 make when the fight began.
Dempsey is the killer. He dis
regards danger to himself when
his fighting instincts are aroused.
In our opinion Jack will have to
retrOgrade materially - perhaps
from mere weight Of years-be-
fore q boxer of Tunney's type win
defeat him.
But after all, who can anticipate
circumstances that alter conditions?
The experts were ali crossed ur in
the Gibbons thing because Gibbons
would or could not fight. Opinions
cannot be predicted on such start
ling omissions.
A million dollars looms up in
front of Gene If ne can dethrone
Dempsey. If he makes the attempt
and fails he will collect at least
$500, 900 and is still young enough
to remain in line awaiting Dempsey
retirement or a knockout by Father
Time.
Gibbons has returned to his home
undec- ded as to whether to continue
boxing. He has a,nassed q corn
Portable fortune in the ring. Still,
he never was in The big money.
Tom received nothing for boxing
Dempsey. His biggest purse was the
100000 he got for being knocked
over by Tunney.

forcing an issue with Dempsey
on behalf of Tunney. Gibson

title and fortune. He has visions
Of bringing in Tunney as a new
money gusher.
Gibson is the Peter Pan of box
ing MANAGERS He never grew up
and still retains his boyish enthu-
siasm, good nature and optimism.
One year ago Gibson informed US
that Tunney would be fighting for
the heavyweight title within eight
cen months. He may be right at
that.
When Dempsey returns from
Europe late in July, Gibson will re-
mind him of the message he sent
last week declaring his willingness
to meet the winner of the Tunney-
Gibbons fracas. In fact, Glib Is so
steamed up, what with the hot
weather, funny goaling Gibbons

yard after watering, swapping n
of three pairs to the other
three pairs and leading them in this
manner to the implement, then lead
ing the second string into its proper
position. Usually the teamster be-
gins by hitching the lead animals.
He arranges the lines first, then ties
the horses together. After hooking
the tugs of the leaders he ties in and
bucks back and then hooks the tugs
of the other pairs.
The Lines.
Large teams driven with equalized
bitches and buck straps are always
uider perfect control. Tying in and
bucking back with all horses except
the leaders take the place of control
through the lines. Usually, when
buck straps are used, only the lead
team is driven with lines, and the
rest are controlled through buck
straps.
Where four are driven abreast, the
line and check arrangement for the
center pair of the leaders is just as
it would be if the driver were driv.
ing only two horses. However, wheI
working four leaders, the regular
leather lines of the center pair of ami
mails are cut off about two or three
feet back of the buckle that attaches
the inside check to the main portion
Of the line. A snap then is attached

If the driver sits on a high crows
nest, he will not need spreader rings,
as the lines will carry above the
heads OF the horses. However, if
he is not elevated, it will be neces-
sary to run the extension lines
through spreader rings attached to
the center animals of the wheel and

rings in them r used, they may be

The two outside horses, where
there are four leaders in a bunch

it is hard on the horses mouths. Or
it is better for the chain to go from

and found it helped very much.
We finally reached more solid
ground, and made camp for the
night. At this point the stage
passed US but was hardly recOgniz-
able as it was completely coated with
mud. We passed freight at many
points along the road, where freight
ing outfits had dropped 1t off to
Tighten their loads. At one place a
lone woman was sitting on some
boxes that had been left. The stages
were so crowded in those days that
often whole families would make the
trip with the freight4ng outfits. This
woman told us that she was afraid
the boxes might be picked up so she
had remained with them. If she had
known the country as well as we,
she would have remained with the
freight wagons, regardless. She was
one of the many t~enderfeet to make
the trip in those days to Fort Ben

We were then on the last lap of
the arduOus trip. We had passed
the worst Of the roads, and our next
stop was at Twenty-Eight Mile
Springs, a stage station where pas
sengers were fed and stage horses
changed for fresh ones. We camped
at this station for the night and got
an early start in the morning. This
was the last day on the road, and we
reached Fort Benton. Here we found
that the boat which was to take us
down the river had not arrived, SO
we went to a hotel where we waited
almost a week. Fort Benton in those
days was quite a rough and ready
place, its principal population being
Indians, half-breeds, sqauw men. II
