Jim Jeffries was not actually
knocked down and out by Jack John

count him out-made no count at
all. ..
This statement is made in answer
to several requests 1 have had TO
tell lust how Jack Johnson knocked
ont Jeffries on that memorable
Fourth of July in Reno. :. ..
The end came after it was very
apparent that jim Jeffr.es was
beaten. Johnson was entirely TOO
clever for him and seemed to nave
more physical strength. JACK was
gradually wearing the big fellow
down and had him webbing ABOUT
the ring. In the twelfth round after
Jeffries had been knocked down ana

drawn back for final blow and l
caught his arm. That was the end
OF the fight. Jeffries was on MS
feet It was scored. a technical
knockout. of course. In few min
utes Johnson would have had him
out. Sam Berger was very wise ana
sensible in stopping it when he did
For me the end Of that famous
fight was a great relief. My job OF
refereeing had been no trouble at
all. The men fought clearly, and
there was little for me to do except
keep them at it. ...-
The greatest relief, though. was
that the fight. at last, had been
successfully pulled OF. l knew IL
was a financial success before we
entered the ring. Hundreds OF those
holding tickets for the fight in san
Francisco had exchanged their tick
cts for seats at Reno. The arena
was full. -

At the very start of the fight
Jeffr. es made the mistake OF trying

was entirely too clever for him. In
the first round however. Johnson
was extremely cautious. He tented

WHEN THE AcoRNs DROP

There's a whisper on the hilltop and
a murmur in the wood,
There's a dream of golden glory ev-
erywhere;
On the beech russell cover, on the
elm a notified hood
While the walnut lifts her branches
brown and bare.
Oh, the crows hold their meeting in
the old oaks top,
And no, for Indian summer when the
acorns drop!
There's a bloom upon the meadow like
the ghost of summer flowers,
But the forest and the valleys are
aflame,
And on hillside and in hollow through
out all the misty hours
Descend the rustling drops of au-
tumn rain,
Oh, the squirrels at his feasting in the
old oaks top.
And no, for Indian summer when the
acorns drop!
When the chestnut and the hazelnut
put on richer brown,
And the blackbirds all are gathered
in flock,
When mallow-in- the-marshes buttons
up her yellow gowns,
IneI IL llIuS W uSdp Tie lOuuSk III
a shock.
Oh, autumns on her waning; better
gather in the crop!
And no. for Indian summer when the
acorns drop!
But not all the beautiful tributes to
Indian summer have been in verse.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, writer of de-
lightful prose as well as poetry, in his
essay on the seasons, says:
In October, or early in November,
after the "equinoctial storms" comes
the Indian summer. 1t is the time to
be in the woods or on the seashore-
a sweet season that should be given
to lonely walks, to stumbling about In
ole churchyards, plucking on the way
the aromatic silvery herb everlasting,
and smelling at it's dry flower until it
etnsrizes the soul into aimless reveries
outside of space and time. There is
no need of trying to paint the still,
warm, misty, dreamy Indian summer in
words, there are many states that have
no articulate vocabulary, and are only
to be reproduced by music, and the
mood this season produces is of that
nature.
In "The Guardian Angel" he contin-
ues on that theme thus:
To those who know the Indian sum-
mer Of our northern states it is need
less to describe the influence 1t exerts
on the senses and the soul The still
ness of the landscape in that beautiful
time is as if the planet were sleeping
like a top, before it begins to rock
with the storms of autumn. All ma
lures seem to find themselves more
truly in its light; love grows more
tender, religion more spiritual, men,
DRY sees farther back into the past
grief revisits it's messy marbles, the
poet harvests the ripe thoughts which
| he will tie in sheaves of verses by his
winter freside.
And in "Elsie Venner" he refers
again to this season by declaring that
'The real forest is hardly still except
in Indian summer; then there is death
| in the house, and they are waiting for
the sharp shrunken months to come
with white raiment for the summers
burial"

upon accurate meteorological observa-
tions, has this to say about that
delectable season, famed for its genial
sunshine and alluring haze:
Indian summer is the name applied
in this country to period of mild fall
weather following spell of unseason-
able cold weather known as "squaw
winter" such as occurred this fall. 1t
is not a fixed season in the calendar.
In many years it is intermittent;
that is, there may be several Indian
summers in one autumn Thoreap in
notes on weather conditions at Com
cord, Mass, from 1851 to 1860, records
the occurrence of Indian summers on
dates ranging from September II to
December 10.
In Europe as we'll as in this coun-
try it is popularity believed that a re E
,newal CT mild weather occurs every su-
tumn, and, the dates of its supposed
occurrence are more definitely fixed
than is the case in America. The
period is associated with the names of
various saints.
- The mild period thus, is known In
different parts of Europe as est. Mar
tins Summer" "St. Luke's Summer" OF
"St Michaers Summer" and tradition
fosters the idea that it is always mild
and warm about the time OF these
various saints days. Chronological
facts, however, do not always square
with this belief.
|, Indian summer has always been a
favorite theme of artists and poets,
especially the latter who, however,
have usually been better verse max
ers than meteorologists. "When was
the red mans SUMMER" asks Lydia
Huntley Sigourney, "the Felicia He
mans of America" and one of the early
Nineteenth century poets. Then, with
out trying to fix the date in one of
her poems, she says it came
When the groves
In feeting colors wrote their own de-
cay;
When with heart
Foreboding or depressed, the white
man marked
The signs of coming winter, then began
The Indians joyous season.
John G.. G. Brainerd, a contempt
rary of Mrs. Sigourney, is more spe-
cific in placing the season at the time
When the frost
Longfellow fixes the season about
the first of November in passage in
his "Evangeline" as follows:
Then followed that beautiful season,
Called by the pious Acadian peasants
the summer OF All Saints,
Filled was the air with a dreamy and
magical light; and the landsca pc
Lay as if new-created in all the fresh
ness of childhood.
Since election day comes in Novem-
Der, the following quotation from
Whittier's, "The Eve of Election" also
places Indian summer in that month
From gold to gray

HAS THE LAXATIVE In
YOUR HOME A
DOCTORS APPROVAL?

Some things people do to help the
bowels whenever any bad breath,
feverishness, biliousness, or a
lack of appetite warn of constipa-
ton, really weaken these organs.
Only a doctor knows what will
cleanse the system without harm.
That is why the laxative in your
home should have the approval Of
a family doctor.
The wonderful product, known to
millions as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin is a family doctors pre-
scription for sluggish bowels. It
never varies from the original pre-
scription which DR.. Caldwell wrote
thousands of times in many years
of practice, and proved safe and
reliable for men, women and chill
dren. 1t is made from herbs and
other pure ingredients, so it is
pleasant-tasting, and can form no
habit. You can buy this popular
laxative from all drugstores.

Above the sea

Above the sea

that

vember,
When skies, seductive, seem to WOO
the earth.
Other poets, however, are more con-
cerned with what it is rather than
when it is and have given us some
charming descriptions. Sam Walter
Foss, in his inimitable dialect, calls
it "a piece of sweetmeat" in the fol-
lowing verse:
"Natur," the coed cid school-marm
who pities our distress,
She gives her children every year a
little glad recess;
An Oh gray-headed boys and girls.
they feel their hearts thaw out,
An life flows on as musicly as wa
ter from a spout;
An now the Ingin Summer time, 18th
all it's rest is here,
A piece of sweet meat stuck between
the slices Of the year;
A sorter reign er jubilee 'twixt snow
an thunder showers;
A chunk of sweetness sandwiched In
between the frost and flowers.
Nor were the early American poets
the only ones who paid their tribute,
as witness the following by Marian
Isabel Angus:
INDIAN SUMMER
Indian summer broods today
Over the mellow autumn lands,
Soft wispy wells of amethyst
And amber pale stream from her
hands.
Vines hang heavy with purple grapes;
Apple trees bend with crimson gems.
And in the woods the great oak trees
Are crowned with golden diadems.
Like topazes the pumpkins lie
Set In ring OF DrOWn ana green,
And mock the sun, while slender spears
OF goldenrod make gay the scene.
Nature is drowsy; her work is done,
Now she awaits her winter rest;
Harvest is over; the tired brown earth
Will sleep with red leaves on her
breast.
And Minna Irving paints this gayly-
colored word picture of
INDIAN BLANKETS
Sumac fires are burning brightly,
Ruby-red the embers glow,
Indian council fires rekindled
From the ash of long ago;
And the winds a runner passing
With his feet in deerskin shod,
And a chiefs tall feather losses
In the dusty goldenrod.
Wild grapes ripen in the thicket,
Purple asters edge the stream,
And the braves to earth returning
BY the moons enchanted beam
Hang their red and yellow blankets
On the windy maple bough
When the frosty night is over,
For it's Indian summer now.
Another famous dialect poet, Frank
L. Stanton, writing of Indian summer
in his native state of Georgia, declares
