Ot ~ whether they had better move, Ferald-Review. By C. E. KILEY. GRAND RAPIDS, - MINNESOTA. It. is hard to realize that Gen. Cas sius M. Clay is really dead. It is a cold day when some pugilist does not develop a new knockout blow. That horse mackerel 10 feet long and 4 feet wide must be an-automobile mackerel. The man who boasts that he is the head of his house is simply a reckless liar.—-New York Press. ‘The latest combine is the gunpowder trust. People need to be careful how they blow up that trust. La Soufriere is puffing and the peo- ple on St. Vincent are wondering again Once there was a girl who wouldn’t believe men when they told her she was pretty, but she was in a book. If Mr. Schwab is going to retire to Philadelphia he must indeed have lost interest in the activities of the world. And now. the exasperating person who rubs his hands gaily and says, “Great weather for corn!” has his in- nings. Mr. Austen Chamberlain is reported to be engaged to an American girl. Why should she want him? He has no title. The man who never tips the waiter may save a little money, but he doesn’t know how good a real thick ‘steak is. Those people who get pinched in Wall street will not find it necessary to pay storage cn’ the sympathy they are getting. The sovereign authorities of China have shown their appreciation of Wu Ting-Fang by promoting him to be head office boy. Generally when a woman has been married five years and her husband tells her in the night that he loves her she is dreaming. New Jersey has a_berry-pickers’ famine. It seems to be impossible to get enough people to do anything nowadays, except write poetry. A youth who chases his inamorata nearly 4,000 miles, and licks her brother in order to have the girl for his very own, deserves to get a mighty good girl. In these days of organization some one should organize “the man who vocks the boat” and draw up by-laws providing that none put members may be drowned. Now that some one has_ suffered serious injury by swallowing a pin we may expect an addition to the pure food supply in the shape of pre digested pin. “There is too much profanity in our ordinary conversation,” exclaims an esteemed New York contemporary. “Cut it out.’ That’s right. And shoot the slang. James Lane Allen describes one of his heroines as having “the exquisite- ness of a long past.” Nevertheless, we'll wager the sweet old girl would never tell her age. The New York man who has started on a search for himself is no worse off than most of his brother men, very few of whom would recognize them- selves face to face. King Edward said at Belfast that his highest ambition is to follow in the footsteps of his mother. His mother would have found it hard work to fol- low in his footsteps once. One of the Vanderbilt boys has had @ man arrested and fined for running his automobile too fast. Let some good be said even of a Vanderbilt when there is an opportunity. There is talk in Roumania of exclud- ing Americans from valuable oil fields that are being operated in the lower Danube Valley. Evidently the Rou- manians trust us not, lest we trustify them. If Sir Thomas Lipton isn’t carefui he will get himself into the Hobson class. He has consented now to com- pare photographs and decide which of two New York actresses is the more beautiful. Author and publishers are not al- ways enemies. For instance, the will of Charles Godfred Leland (“Hans Breitman”) bequeathes all the profits from his works to his publisher, Mr. Philip Welby. A Japanese gentleman who has been lecturing at the University of Chicago ‘says his country could. give us many valuable pointers on marriage. This may be true, but we guess Japan can’t tell us anything about the divorce business. “After investigating the case of my friend Henpeck,” observed the philoso- pher, “I have arrived at the conclusion that the only reason some men don’t get civorced is because they are afraid they will 2 inveigled into mar rying again.” | Louis world’s exposition, has assured Washington Notes, Alleged frauds by the.

STANDS ALONE IN WIS CLASS BOILERMAKER STRONGER, FAST- ‘Y ER AND CLEVERER THAN EVER BEFORE. CORBETT MAKES” GAME FIGHT BUT ALL HIS CLEVERNESS WAS OF NO AVAIL AGAINST HIS BURLY OPPONENT. San Francisco, Aug. 15.—James J. Jeffries, champion heavyweight of the world, played with Jim Corbett for nine rounds and a half last night, arid then Corbett’s. seconds motioned to Referee Graney to stop the fight in order to save their man from needless punishment. The end came shoruy after the beginning of the tenth round, when Jeffries planted one of his ter- rific left swings on ‘Corbett’s stomach. The man who conquered John L. Sul- livan dropped to the floor in agony and the memorable scene at Carson City, when Bob Fitzsimmons landed iis solar plexus blow, was almost dupli- cated. This time, however, Corbett struggled to his feet and again faced his gigantic adversary. With hardiy a moment’s hesitation Jeffries swung his right and again landed on Cor- bett’s stomach. Jim dropped to the floor, and then it was that Tommy Ryan, seeing that it was all. over, mo- tioned to Referee Graney to stop the punishment. Jeffries Stands Alone. The fight demonstrated beyond all doubt that Jeffries stands alone in his | class. He showed remarkable im- provement in both speed and skill. | Corbett, during the first part of the | fight, was almost outpointed, and the | few blows that he landed on Jeffries | were apparently without sting. Jeff- | rles was never in better condition. He | looked lighter than usual, and the way | he moved about on his feet and the | frequency with which he countered | Corbett’s leads astonished everybody. |; man opposed to him, looked very light, | but was really heavier than ever be- | fore. He appeared to have lost some | of his old-time speed and skill during the early part of the fight, but this may have been due to Jeffries’ marvel- ‘ous improvement. Corbett’s physical condition appeared to be all that he had claimed for it. He stood many-of | Jeffries’ terrific blows without winc- | ing and came back swinging lefts and _rights and landing frequently, but his | blows | Hardly Stung Jeffries. Jeffries was not only stronger, fast- | er and cleverer than ever before, but |he used his head to better purpose, | and, although Corbett would hit him | hard enough to hurt an ordinary man, Jeffries would bore right in without | noticing the blows, and would deliver | telling hits that materially helped in | deciding the result of the fight. | At first Corbett was very cautious and apparently was outpointed by Jeffries, but later in the fight he | warmed up and showed some of his old-time cleverness. From the first, however, it was gen- erally regarded as a hopeless case for Corbett. He made a gallant fight, but he never stood a show to win. After the fight was over Corbett quickly recovered, walked over to Jeffries and shook him warmly by the hand. He said: “Jim, you beat me fairly. You stand alone. No one can touch you.” Was a Great Contest. Referee Eddie Graney said after the fight that it was a great heavyweight contest. “Corbett was very clever, but Jeff- ries was almost equally so, and showed marvelous improvement. He practically outboxed Corbett during the fight with the exception of the eighth and ninth rounds. Every blow that he landed told, and his superior weight and strength was bound to win in the end.” Corbett’s system of training was un- doubtedly beneficial to him from a physical point of view, but it apparent- ly detracted from his speed. He did not keep away from Jeffries in the manner that was anticipated, but kept up close, clinching at every op- portunity. He also dis some clever ducking, thereby avoiding deadly blows, but all his cleverness was of no avail. He fought his fight, and when the time came Jeffries delivered the necessary blows and installed more firmly than ever on his pedestal as champion heavyweight pugilist of the world. The crowd that witnessed the con- test was undoubtedly the largest that ever assembled at a similar entertain- ment. Engineer Was Killed.
