Tuesday Was St.
 SwithiIIs s Day
Legend of July 18th Dates Back to About the Year s60-When Rainy
 40 Day. Mere Rain to Follow

Again St Swithin's Day has come and gone. The holy Bishop of Win chester. England, about the year S6O, was called the weeping St. Swithin, for that about his feast, two rainy cancellations arise and commonly cause rain.-
 How if, on Swithin's Feast the wei
 kin lours,
 And every penthouse streams with
 nasty showers,
 Twice twenty days shall clouds their
 feeces drain,
 And wash the pavements with inces-
 sant rain"
 A writer, referring to the legendery accounts of the weather forecast inc quires: Were our astronomers so ignorant as Co think that the old proverbs would serve for their new fangled Calendar Could they ina zine that St. Swithin would accom- modate her rainy planet to tha con- venience of their calculations?" "In this month is St. Swithin's Day; On WHICH, IT thhb " ialHf tHfS say Full forty days after 1t will, Or more or less some rain distill. This Swithin was a Saint, trow, And Winchester's Bishop, also, Who in his time did many feat:- A woman having broke her eggs By stumbling at another's legs, For which she made a woful cry, St. Swithin chaneed for to come by, Who made them all as sound, or more Than ever that they were before. But whether this were so or no Iris more than you or do know. Better it is to rise betime, And make hay while sun doth shine, Than to believe in tales and lies"

ASKEDFOR
FIGHT
BY JACK DEMPSEY

Gentleman Jim" Corbett, who
sighs once in while about the
big purses Of today, was a cham
pion all by himself in demanding
large quantities Of cash back in
the dim days Of his youth.
Go back to'1S90, or somewhere
along in that neighborhood. Ap-
piles were a nickel a peck, pcta-
toes perhaps were cheaper, a
dime got you a first class seat
in a theater. Actors were paid
$25 to $50 a week and the aver
age wage in the U. s. A. was SIS
or $18 a week.
don't know for sure, but ]
think there was only one million
aire at the time-John D. Rookie
feller. Maybe he hadn't made his
first million by that time. Any
way, the man who had as much
as $4,000 in cash or securities
was rated as very wealthy"

wanted him to fight Peter
Jackson. Jim wasn't cham
piOn then-juSt q tall, skinny
kid who was gaining fame as
a boxer. He later proved that
he was a great ringman-he
was great even In those days.
But, up that time, he hadn't
quite proved 1t.
And Jackson-well, he was the
first class negro fighter recently
arrived from Australia. He wasn't
so much Of a card because he
hadn't fully established himself
So the fight between the two in
volved no title and it wasn't any
elimination contest because, at
the time, there were some other
warriors rated as better able to
spank John L. the reigning
monarch.

and when they asked his terms
he declared that ANY fair con
sideration is agreeable" They
asked Gentleman Jim" If he
would fight Jackson, he assented
and when they asked his terms
they promptly tainted.
When restored they asked
again. "A $4,000 purse-S5 pei

loser-or no fight"
I wasn't alive at the time. AL

the $4,000 that Gentleman JIM
blandly asked for. 40 years ago
