JEFF PREACHES TO PREACHER.
MINNEAPOLIS. July 27.? Rev G.
L. .Morrill, a kx-ul preacher, yester
day called 011 Jauitti J. Jeffries, the
heavyweight champion, who is ap
pearing this week at the amusement
park. When the minister was intro
duced to him. the fighter said:
"You are welcome; but not any
more because you are a minister."
.Morrill said he did not think a min
ister any better than anybody else.
Just because he is a minister. The
fighter told the minister that there
are }ust as many good people outskle
tho church as there are iu it. The
minister replied he did not know but
that he was right. "Why in thunder
uon't you preachers say something
about a man's body as well as his
soul?" asked the pugilist. "How is
e man going to save his soul when
his liver is out of order?"

THE DEAD ONES.
The poets of th?>e later days have
cold feet all the time; fur people read
their soulful lays, and cry "What rot
ten rhyme: Why can't they write as
Byron wrote, and hit the heights of
song? They strike a harsh and jar
rwg note ? the clanging of a gong."
This Byron, In his lusty prime, made
something of a hit; yet critics who
perused his rhyme declared it counter*
feit. "His song." they said, "gives
us a pain, a dry pain in the neck;
It's Just such stuff as Laura Jean
will write when she's on deck. Why
can't he get his harp on straight, and
do the Job in style? Why can't he
strike the Shakespeare gait, and sing
* song worth while?" And when the
Bard of Avon smote the harp that
had no peer, folks said: "The bleat
ing of a goat sounds sweeter to the
ear. When Chaucer wrote, his rhym
es had sense, and when he came to
bat, he knocked the ball clear through
the fence, and scored, you bet your
hat!" Aud thus it was when Homer
wTouht, and plied his fountain p*-n,
Htid ground out epics smoking hot;
they Jumped upon him then. They
told him of some grassfed Greek,
whose wickiup was near, who wrote
more Hot Stuff in a week than he
could in a year. ? Walt .Mason.
