No End to 1t.

From Dempsey Tunney twice has
won the wreath. as all the world may
see; and one would say Jacks race Is
run as challenger, or ought to be.
Once whipped a man may fairly say
he wasn't truly at his best; his train
ers made him live on hay, he had a
SpaVin on his chest He may arise
and roundly swear that he was sick
as he could be; he suffered much from
falling hair, and also had a house
maids knee His friends may rally
round him then and be excused II
they insist that if he meets the foe
again, he'll WELD n most triumphant
fist. But if a man is beaten twice,
he should at once take in his sign;
II am too old to harvest ice" he well
may say, the soup is mine. For me
a farmstead in the glens, remote from
scrappers and their strife. where
may raise Rhode Island hens, and
spend in peace my fading life. For
me Il seat where robins sing and rab-
bits gambol in the dew: oh, talk no
more about the ring, I've shot my
bolt and | am through. His friends
might wisely bid him stick to such
q wise resolve as that, since he has
shown he cannot lick the fur from
an upholstered cat But Dempsey, he
would try once more to gain the
shining wreath he lost, and prove to
men on every shore that Mr.. Tunney
is frost. And all his loyal friends
applaud, instead of begging him TO
quit: another million-dolar wad is
ample reason for a fit. There'll doubt
less lie another fight, and Gene and
Jack will give the show; and we will
listen half the night and fall dead at
