CARPENTIER SAYS “NIX,” ON DEMPSEY. The French heavyweight champion, _G.eoige Car_pent;er, made short work of the English heavyweight champxon,..l_oe Beckett, in their European title battle in London, for the British battler lasted less than a round. Short lefts proved to be the undoing of Beckett and when he was helpless C_arpentlgr helped carry him to his chair. The affair was a social affair, many prominent women being pres_ent. . A large crowd hois::ied the victor to its shoulders and everybo resent cheered. il Y er{hc?xyl)’;mpsey, champion of America, remarked upon hear- ing the verdict that he wasn’t the least surprised at the result, as he and his manager, Jack Kearns, had picked thé French boxer to win. . ) Tt seemed strongly probable that Dempsey and Carpentier would meet to decide the world’s championship, but Carpentier — e HOW IT REALLY HAPPENED. Evidently that story about the team of the Bemidji Box company falling into an excavation on the rear residence yard of R. L. Given, several weeks ago, made the rounds: of the press far distant. g The Pioneer has received a clipping from a paper pub- lished a long distance away which.gives it space thusly:. “A team belonging to the Bemidji Paper Box Co., while delivering wood in the yard in the rear of R. L. Given’s house on Beltrami ave., fell through the ground into a sewer or a secret chamber lined like a cellar yet covered with soil, all of which was unknown to the owner. of the property. It re- quired several hours to extricate the horses. Whether it was an abandoned root cellar or the rendezvous of early day bandits has not developed.” Sic him, Tige! et ZERO DOESN’'T DETER AKLARKQUIAS_'I’. ;¢ It tdkes more than sub-zero weather to deter Contractor Klarkquist from keéping at his contract in the course of erec- * tion of the normal dormitory, for he is keeping “everlastingly at it” and severe cold is no bar to his activities.. He is about ready to commence the concrete work on the second story and herein is the secret. He uses hot water in his mixture of concrete which does not affect it in the least and will have the structure ready for its equipment next June. ——— O — Former Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo says the coal barons are only making about 2,000 per cent over the cost of production.

PICTURE WORTH SEEING. A most interesting and absorbing melo-drama was showi at the Rex Sunday and will be shown again to- night for the last time, and it is well worth seeing.

As early as 1702 there existed an English hotel at Paris. It was owned by a man named White and was situ- ated opposite thHe church of Notre Dame des Victoires. : Its chief clien-* tele was drawn from' the English lib- erale of the day, who were attracted . to Paris by the British enthusiasm for the French revolution. For, as a writer in the Anglo-French Review points out, “if George III and the To- ries watcfied ~with anxious eye . the progress of democracy, the whole lib- eral party, imbued with the ideas of Rousseau, was amazed at the flashing developmients in France.” Among the noted guests there lodged was Tom Paine, author of the “Age of Reason.” Lord Fltzgeralde’rote home of him: “We breakfast, dine and sup together. The more I see of-his inner self the more I love and respect him.” The hotel is intimately concerned with the history of the Terror. 7 GF Allsteel Safes Phone us your office turniture requirements.
