GOOD ADVICE FROM A
PRIZEFIGHTER
Most of us know who .Iannis J. Jot
trios is. Ho is a poworful young boil
crmaker who some ten years ago won
fame and fortune by winning the
pigilistic championship of the world
from Robert Filzsinimons. Since thou
lu defeated all comers and ut last '
ii tired because no one was left to
tight him. Mow he is preparing to
t
r. -enter the ring and wrest the laureH
from the brow of the dusky champion 1
Jt hnson.
Jeffries was given phenomenal
strength by birth : he has retained it ?
by judicious training and wise living.
Recently he was asked by a reporter)
wha advice he would give to boys.;
The following interview should be
read and heeded, not alone by boys, i
but by every man who has any de- 1
sire for firm muscles and a clear head
"I'd give a boy or anybody else the
same advice that his mother would
&iv- him. But the trouble is that
toys think they know more than their
n.others and fathers, and when they
find out that they don't, it is too
late. Every young man ought to have
sense enough to know that if he uses
up strength amusing himself, knookin
around and dissipating, he cannot
have that strength to do anything
else.
"Every little boy that smokes a
< igaretto may be perfectly sure that
t.c is doing his best to make himself;
no account. I don't care whether he
wants to be a big fighter like mei
or just an ordinary man that makes'
his living in some one of the dull,
ordinary ways. Cigarette smoke
ruins a boy's lungs, so that he could j
not be a fighter if he wanted to. !
once it gets a hold on him. And the;
same cigarette smoke poison hurts a
boy's brains, so that ho can not use
his brains well, either.
"Do you suppose I'd have thischesti
on me if I had had a box of cigaret
tes in my pocket when I was a boy? |
"What I tell you about cigarettes!
for boys is true about all other fool-j
ish things that boys and young men
do. whether they drink whiskey or
sit up at night, or dissipate in anyi
other way.
"A boy is born with a certain a
Mount of strength. He has got to
keep that and add to it by living in
the way he ought to live. The best
tiling he can do is to mind his mo
ther. She knows what is good for hi
and the boy that thinks she doesn't,
is a fool."
Louis Glass, the telephone magnate '
of San Francisco who was con- j
victetl of bribery on what seemed j
to bbe clear evidence, has been j
granted a new trial Justice seems
to be particularly slow in San Fran
lisco ? when those convicted are;
wealthy.
In garbled and probably "manufac
tured" Interviews the French press I
is ridiculing Roosevelt as an insuffer
able egotist. Their estimate of the'
n;an is wrong ? still. Teddy never was
really shy and retiring.
The notoriously corrupt Ex-Senator i
Fulton of Oregon was refused a fed-j
eral judgeship by Taft. but as a sop
\?as tendered the appointment of Min
ister to China. That's tough on the
Chinks.
Some physicians contend that an
"occasional spree" is good 'or a man.
This may be true, but ' occasional"
doesn't mean twice a week.
With a simoon raging at Mombassa
and an outbreak of small pox in the^
Interior "Strenuous Teddy" will b?'
in his own element.
A little that the riRhteous man hath
is better than the many riches of the
wicked. ? Psalms, Chapter ? 1'!.
hYank Gotch threw Yusit Mamout.
"The Terriblo Turk,"so hard that the
riots ceased in Constantinople.
A good beatiug sometimes tends to

btaten.

THE OULD TUNES.
A BOY we had belongln' us, nn'. och,
but he wus gay!
An' we'd NMNT li?-;ir him t;ln';ln" :
L than we'd hear tlio birds In
May.
For a bullfinch was a fool to him, an' all
yo had to do
Onljr name tfco sons ye wanted an' he'd
'.Mine It for ye through
WW hU "l"p now there:'' an' hi* "Look
about an' thry for It!'"
Faith, he had the quarest songs of any
ye could tlnd.
"Popple* In the Corn." too. an" "Mollle, ;
Never Cry For It."
"The Pretty Girl I Courted" an" "There's
Trouble In the Wind."
Music Is deludherln", you'll hear the peo
ple say.
The more they be deludheiod. then, the
better Is their case.
I would sooner miss my drink tlvin never
hear a tlddte play.
An" since Ilughle up an" left us this has
been another place.
Arrah. cotuo back. lad. an' we'll love you
when you sine for us!
Sure we're gettln' oulder. an" ye'll tnay
be come too late.
Bins "Girl Dear" nn' "The Boos Anions
the Ling" for us.
8tlll I'd shake a foot to hear "The Pigeon
on the Gate."
Oh. Ilughle had tho music, but there come
on him a change!
He should ha' stayed the boy he was an'
never grown a man.
I seen the shadow on his face before ill i
time to range.
An' I knew he sung for sorrow rs a
winter robin can.
But that's not the way! Oh, I'd feel my
heart grow light again,
Hughle. If I'd hear you at tlio "Pleas
ant Summer Rain!"
Ould sweet tunes, sure my w. >? :; "u I all
como right again.
Llstenln" for an hour, I'd for. rot t!io feel
o' pain.
