DANIELS DOING
BIG BUSINESS
i His Goods Are Going Rap-
idly at His Great Sale
" Pays to Advertise
(That advertising pays is the opinion
of T. E. DaniolB, who is at tho present
': timo conducting a groat Balo at his
' clpthing establishment in this city. He
,. has hud proof of it duriug the past 'few
: days. In speaking of tho matter he
said:
; "Yos, it certainly pays to advertise.
We have had ample evidence of late,
and none more marked than d luring this
sale, for our business has been enormous
and still continues. Of course, you
must havo the goods to show when call
ed upon by your customers, for when
your advertisement is read and tho pub
lic want to buy, your prices and stock
must agroe with your ad.
"A great deal depends upon your
HBsistantB in a store like ours. Courte
ous treatment and not afraid to show
goods all go a great way toward mak
ing a sale, and satisfying your custo
mer. , We have carried a large stock,
and our sales have been satisfactory
during tho past year, and if our city of
.Medford keeps growing in the future
as it has in the past, and I predict a
much more rapid growth, we will, of
iourso, keep pace with the conditions.
"I believe our people are awakening
to the fact that they can buy goods as
cheaply in our stores in Medford as they
. .can by sending their money to outside
cities, where I know it to be a fact
they get an inferior article. Keep a
good and up-to-date stock and don't
be afraid to advertise it are my sentiments."
6AYS SUPERINTENDENT
IB .DISCIPLE OF HOBSON
RUTHVEN", Ia.,Vrec. 30. Ruthven
wants to know, and the Ruthven school
board wants to know, if A. H. Welty,
superintendent of schools, tried to kiss
nnp of his nrottv school teachers.
Tho pretty teacher insists tnat be did!.
Moreover, she insists that he persisted
in the attempts and that Bhc spurned
them. She refuses to remain in the
schoolroom with the superintendent.
Either he must resign, says the pretty
teacher, or she will. Several other
teachers say they will resign if sh does.
Sentiment apparently is with the teach
er. Now what is the board to dot Welty
is a good superintendent. He has done
tj his work well. There ib no complaint
on that score. The board does not want
to dismiss him. He refuoes to resign.
Now what?
The whole affair is said to be intr-
f-rinii seriously with the work of the
schools.

j AMERICAN riAri'rUT,
Fight in. Los Angeles
Which May, Deride for
World Championship J
NEW YORK, Dec. 30. A fijrht which
may d'ocido the, future heavyweight
hampionship of the world will be pull
ed off tonight in Los Angeles. Jim
Barry, the Chicago heavyweight, and
AI Kaufman, Billy Delnuey's proteire.
are the principals, and the Jeffries Ath
letic club the place. The result of the
fight will decide the heir-apparent to
the heavyweight throne, and, unless
all the dope goes wrong, Kaufman will
be the winner. The mill is scheduled
to go 45 -rounds, but it is unlikely that
Kaufman will allow Barry to go that
distance.
According to the reports, however.
Barry isn't scared about the result, and
thinks he has a good fighting chance to
beat Delaney's coming champion. Barry
is a nervy man, and i9 the only fighter
with sand enough to go up against Sam
Laagford. Barry has figured in five
scraps with the black one, and hasn't
always come out seconod best. Ho has
been showing great improvement in ev
ery battle, and while all the indications
point to a Kaufman victory, the big
boy will have to fight for it.
Billy Debiney, manager of Kaufman,
believes ho has the coming world 's
champion in the boy from the golden
west, just as he had when he took Jim
Corbett, then a slender stripling, to
New Orleans to wrest glory, money
and title from tho mighty John L.
West Believes in Kaufman.
The west believes in Kaufman or
rather it believes in the ability of De-
laney to bring forth his third cham
pion. For in addition to Corbett he
made Jeffries a champion and the sage
of fistania believes he is fated to bring
out his third.
Kaufmann has the requisites of a
champion. He is big, rangy, powerful
and fast. He can hit with either hand
like the kick of a mule. Ho can take
punishment when he hag to, but his
defensive ability generally makes this
unnecessary. Delaney is a firm be
Never in the value of a left hand. He
has often declared that a man without
good left c&nnof become tt champion
and his protege has as dangerous a
larboard whip as ever hung from the
shoulder of s pugilist.
Only 22, without .bad habits, Kauf
mann may indeed be tho next heavy
weight champion of the world.
8ince he entered the ring in 1904,
Knufmann has participated in 13 impor
tant battles, winning all but two over
the knockout route. His longest fight
was with Jack O'Brien, whose skill
enabled him to go 17 rounds before he
went to the mat. In all of his battles
Kaufmann has shown a high flrgrce of
conrngo. generalship, boxing ability nnJ
willingness to fight from gong U gong.
ITp frrnnr up ntho mnt logical sue
priot to Jim Jeffries and as a real
I champion in all that" the name implies.

"1 suppose ihey are good," he ful
tered.. "It Is hard, though, to conquer
my repulsion. Yet they are clean
cleuu feeders, eh?"
The American laughed loug and
loud.
''You," ho cried, "are repelled by
frogs leg1;, you who cut dogs and
rats:"
"Ah, but." said tho Culuuimiu, "our
edible dogs uud rata are the cleanest
feeders Imaginable. They are equal to
celery fed duck or Cullfurnla peach
fed hog. They nre confined In runs,
you know, and to make their Mesh
white and delicate they are fed mi
mushes of bread nnd milk and vege
tablesno meat whatever.
"You Americans think it disgusting

the Indians have learned nil bis trit-ks
and how to circumvent them. To the

He takes a piece of stronp wire or a i

of the nose. In a moment the angered !
reptile exhales a . kind of hiss, tlie

of the breath. As he thus exhales he
loses his hold on the rocks, and In a

Depth at Which Miners Can Work.
' Below llfty feet the temperature
rises in the proportion of one degree
for every sixty-five feet of depth ex
cept where currents of water carry
the beat away. The result is that at a
depth of about 4,000 feet we reach a
temperature of 08 degrees, or blood
heat. This renders it exceedingly dif
ficult to work coal pits below that
depth. This is the reason that Great
Britain's coal commission decided tbat
mines are not workable below 4,000
feet
The thickness of the solid rocks
building up the crust of tbe earth is at
least thirty to forty miles, At that
depth the beat is such as would reduce
everything on the surface of the earth
to liquid. But tbe pressure of the over
lying rocks is bo great that until the
relation of tho heat to the prcssuro Is
known it cannot bo said whether the
earth at that depth Is fluid or solliL .

Not "Lost In London."
The confession of the provost of the
Great St. Bernard bosplee that be al
most got lost in London and found it
more bewildering than his own' Alps
recalls to the London Chronicle a re
markable tout of tho great guide Mel
chlor Anderegg of Mclrlngen. He had
never seen a larger town than Borne
when be visited London, and when
two famous climbers, Leslie Stephen
and T. W. Hlnchllff, met him at Lon
don Bridge station and walked with
him thence to Lincoln's Inn Fields
there was a thick London fog. Never
theless when a day or two later the
three were at tho same station, return
ing from a trip to Woolwich, Mr.
Hlnchllff confidently said, "Now, Mel
chlor, you will lead us back home."
And straight to Lincoln's Inn Fields
Melchior guided them, pausing only
once. , ,
Why Joyner Left Home.
"Aro you ready to receive tbe obliga

"I am," said the candidate firmly.
"Then take a sip of this prusslc acid,
place your right hand in this pot of
boiling lead, rest your loft hand upon
this revolving buzzsaw, close your eyes
and repeat after me".
Early next morning shreds of Joy
