“It's a good game, too, if it were
only square. The fighters would be
square if they had a chance, but the
graft is too big. When a handful of
men can divide up three-quarters of
a million dollars on three fights” —
A wild outburst compelled him to
stop. Out of the medley of cries from
all over the house he could distinguish
such as— :
“What million dollars?”
“What three fights?”
“Tell us!”
“Go on!”
Likewise there were boos and hisses
and cries of “Muckraker, muckraker!"
“Do you want to hear?” Glendon
shouted. *Then keep order!”
Once more he compelled the impres-
sive half minute of silence.
“What is Jim Hanford planning?
What is the program his crowd and
mine are framing up? They know [I've

can whip him in one fight. But he’s
the champion of the world. If I don’t
give in to the program they’ll never
give me a chance to fight him.
“The program calls for three fights.
I am to win the first fight. It will be
pulled off in Nevada if San Francisco
won't stand for it. We are to make
it a good fightt To make it good
each of us will put up a side bet of
$20,000. It will be real money, but it
won't be a real bet. Each gets his
own slipped back to him.
“The same way with the purse.
We'll divide it evenly, though the pub-
lic division will be thirty-five and six-
ty-five. The purse, the moving picture
royalties, the advertisements, and all
the rest of the drags won't be a cent
less than $250,000. We'll divide it and
gv to work on the return match. Han-
ford will win that, and we divide
again.
“Then comes the third fight. I win
as I have every right to, and we have
taken three-quarters of a million out
of the pockets of the fighting public.
That’s the program, but the money is
dirty. And that’s why I am quitting
the ring tonight”—
It was at this moment that Jim Han- |
ford, kicking a clinging policeman back |
among the seat holders, heaved his
huge frame through the ropes, bellow-
ing:
“It’s a lie!”
He rushed like an infuriated bull at
Glendon. who sprang back and then,
instead of meeting the rush, ducked
cleanly away.
Unable to check himself, the big
man fetched up against the ropes.
flung back by the spring of them, he
was turning to make another rush,
when Glendon landed him.
Glendon, cool, clear seeing, distanced
kis man perfectly to the jaw and
struck the first full strength blow of |
his career. All his strength and his
reserve of strength went into that one
smashing muscular explosion.
Hanford was dead in the air—in so
far as unconsciousness may resemble
death. So far as he was concerned.
he ceased at the moment of contact
with Glendon’s fist.
His feet left the floor. and he was
in the air until he struck the topmost
rope. His inert body sprawled across
it, sagged at the middle and fell
through the ropes and down out ot
the ring upon the heads of the men in
the press seats.

MAKES GOOD CORD AND ROPE
Formation of Marketable Products
From Wood Pulp Is a New in-
dustry in Europe.
An industry which has attained con-
siderable importance in Europe, is the
making of cord and rope from wood-
pulp. These new ropes are twisted
out of thin threads made from the
pulp. At the present time these dig-
enous fibre ropes are used more or
less extensively in the foundries of
Germany. The fine threads which
make up thesé ropes are made by
forcing the chemically-treated wood
pulp or cellulose through very fine
tubes with running water, in which
they harden.
After they are dry they are perfect
ly pliable and somewhat elastic, and
may be spun or twisted into any
form whatever. These minute elong:
ated threads are caught up as they
are forced through the fine tubes and
spun into ordinary silken threads,
which are woven into a fabric resem-
bling silk.
A French inventor discovered that
paper may be cut into narrow strips
several millimeters wide, and that
after these have been steeped in cer
tain chemicals which give them tenac-
ity and durability, they may be rolled
and twisted into threads, which may
be worked up into fabrics of various
kings and put to a great variety of
uses.
Another French chemist has discov:
ered a way to make such fabrics, as
well as ordinary paper waterproof,
and a German inventor has produced
a good quality of thin paper practic
ally waterproof. *
LITTLE MAN HAD HIS OPINION
General Verdict of the Company Was
That He Spoke From Experience
More or Less Bitter.
Conversation had drifted once more
to the ever-interesting subject of mar
riage. The smoking room was full,
and almost every man had contributed
something out of his own personal
experience to the discussion.
Some said long engagements were
better than short ones, some held that
marriage was an utter failure, and
others that it was the only thing that
made life worth living.
One perky little person insisted that
a man should be “master in his own
house,” but was violently opposed by
a regular giant, who believed in “leav-
ing things to the wife,” and so on.
This subject, however, was side
tracked by somebody observing that
it was curious to note how little men
almost invariably married large Wwo-
men. At this, a very small, unhappy
looking little man burst suddenly into
life.
“No, sir; you are wrong!” he pro-
tested mildly. “In my opinion it is
the big women who marry the little
men!”
Annals of the Fiji Kings.
Tanoa, Cacobau’s father and great
grandfather of the present Ratu, was.
one of the most villainous of all the
kings who ruled in Bau. The history
of his atrocities makes professional
ogres like Nero and Catherine de
Medici appear like martyred saints.
At his death his son, Cacobau, who
succeeded him, strangled his father’s
five wives, his own mother among
them, in accordance with the custom
of the land. Later in life, Cacobau
embraced the new lotu—Christianity.
From the date of his conversion he
committed ho more outrages and dis-
carded all of his wives save one,
whom he married with the church
ceremony when both were baptized.
His son, Ratu Abel, did not look very
favorably upon the new religion, and
mixed very little with foreigners, yet
no charges of cannibalism or other
cruelties were laid at his door. The
present Ratu Dadavu is a well-educat-
ed man, and with his cousin Ratu
Pope, attended the University of Syd-
ney.—Christian Herald.
Detention Home.
The reason his name is James is
because it isn’t. If it were, his wife
would identify him at once and there
would be no end of trouble. He went
to a physician the other day and said
in so many words: ‘When a man
“Do you mean that you have small-
pox?” was the affrighted response.
“If you have,” said the doctor, without
waiting for any further remarks, “you
must go to the detention home at
once.”
“Detention home?” queried the oth-
er. “I have that already. My mother-
in-law is visiting me.”
Cigarette Smoked by George Sand.
A curious relic of George Sand has
just been sold by public auction at
Paris. It is a cigarette case that be-
longed to the author, which contains
the charred end of a cigarette smoked
by her at the house of Doctor Lalle-
mand. In the case, too, as guarantee
of the relic, is a note signed “Cauvert,
engineer.” “Cigarette smoked bY
George Sand at the house of Doctor
Lailemand, member of the institute,
in the evening of November 8, 1846, at
Paris.”
Evidently From Satisfied Diner.
Philadelphia waiters must receive
high tips if the statement of one of
them was intended to appear plaus-
ible. He was. trying tc dispose of a
$50 gold piece which had belonged to
a collection of extremely rare coins.
On being arrested for complicity in
stealing the collection, the waiter as-
gerted that the coin had been given
to him as a tip by a guest at

Jack London as a Musician.
Jack London, author of “The Abys-
mal Brute,” was introduced one day
to a musician.
“I, too. am a musician in a small
way,” London said. *My musical tal-
ent once saved my life.” ‘
“How?” the musician asked.
“There was a great flood in our town
in my boyhood.” replied Leadon.
“When the ‘water struck our house my
father got on a bed and floated with
the stream until he was rescued.”
“And you?’ said the musician,
“Well,” said London, *1 accompa-
nied him on the piaro.”

“Blood Tells.” Proof of Lack of Humor.
«you think the American people
lack a sense of humor?’ “Yes,” re
plied the frank visitor from abroad;
“otherwise you wouldn't find so many
people weighing over 200 pounds who
dance the tango.”—Washington Star.
That old saying may have many ap-
plications. When the face is blotched
with pimples, the body vexed with erup-
tions or eaten by sores, the blood is tell-
ing of its impure condition. Just as we
put out a red or yellow flag in the front
of the house where a dangerous disease
is rampant, so Nature puts out the vel-
low flag or saffron skin, or the red flag
of rash or eruption to indicate the dis-
eased condition of the blood. Whenever
symptoms of a disordered condition of
the blood appear, the use of Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery should be
begun at once. It purifies the blood per-
fectly. It improves the poisonous sub-
stances which cause blotches, pimples
and sores. The result is a smooth skin,
clear complexion and healthy blood.
