Unique Prize Fight Arranged
The Broadway sports interest-
ed in the promotion of all kinds oi
athletic encounters are Just now
oing in for freak contests. They
have arranged a boxing match be-
tween a Dutch giant named Henry
Phcke and Kid McCoy. Placke
weighs 255 pounds and McCoy a
shade under 100 less. The Dutch
giant is nearly a foot taler than
McCoy. This match arouses in-
terest because it will be the ex-
treme contrast of brute strength
and cleverness. Placke is built
like a Santos-Dumont airship set
on end and 'he says that if McCoy
hits him he will bounce out of the
ring. The Kid one the other hand
ays that if he really hits the giant
the explositon will asphyxiate the
audience.
Girl's Service to a City.
A New Orleans newspaper do-
nated a fund to be used annually
in bestowing a prize upon the per-
son who has done the city the
greatest service. This year the
prize a superb loving cup went
to Miss Sophia Wright who fif-
teen years ago started a free
n:ght school for those whose daily
employment barred them from the
public schools. When " Miss
Wright opened her school two
scholars applied and today there
are 1500 in attendance while only
lack of room prevents an even
larger number of pupils.
labcuchere's Numerous Libel Suits.
Henry Labouchere the stormy
petrel of British journalism has
just fought his forty-fourth action
foR libel and he lost being con-
demned to pay $5000 damages for
saying that a certain physician
was not duly qualified and that he
was a quack. Tbis is the heaviest
verdict ever brought against the
editor of Truth but as he is a very
rich man it is possible he thinks
the fun worth the money. Of the
forty-four suits he won nineteen
lost eight in two the juries failed
to agree five w;re settled out of
court and ten vnrs withdrawn by
plaintiffs who did not care to face
trial.

Why He Didn't Get Pork.
A prominent educator in Phila-
delphia tells the following story
on himself. In his early teach-
ing -days he had a position in a
country school house in New
England. The people in the
neighborhood worked out thei;
taxes by giving him board and
when there was no vacancy in the
farm houses he took a small room
while the neighbors supplied him
with food. One'day a young 'boy
came running breathlessly toward
him. "Saw teacher' he gasped
my pa wants to know if you like J f

the teacher replied concluding j
that the very stingy father of JTollH VV JEiLOTX
this boy had determined to donate j "
some pork to him. "You teli - - AGENT OF
rrtiTns"! Waters Pierce Oil Go
