gave up the title
From the day that Jeffries laid down
the title we have had a lot of third
raters such as Marvin Hart and Tom
my Burns, neither of whom could as
similate punishment nor put over the
wallop like McCarty. Willard or Smith.
It was from Burns that Johnson won
the title and afterward clinched it with
a bout that was no battle, but a
slaushter.-jyith Jeffries.
Luther McCarty is Just twenty-one
years old.- He is a true son of St Pat
rick, because he was born in Lincoln,
Neb., on March 17. 1892 His national
ity is Irish-Indian, his father being an
Irishman and his mother a squaw. In
heiffht he is sis feet three inches. In
perfect physical condition he weighs
about 210 pounds
Jess Willard. like McCarty. is a stur
dy son of the west He was born in
Kansas City twenty-three years ago.
Like McCarty. he was formerly a cow
puncher Willard is slightly taller than
McCarty, but not as robust He is well
built and. like a sturdy oak sapling,
tough and fibrous He has been boxing
only a few months.
Gunboat Smith was christened Ed
ward when he was born in Philadel
phia on May 8. 1SS8 His nationality is
Irish-American He joined the navy
and began to Bght in 1908. His first
bout was with Charley Horn, whom he
knocked out in six rounds. His only
real defeat since that time was at the
hands of Jim Barry, who won over him
in nine rounds during the season of
1910. The majority of Smith's battles
were of short duration, for his heavy
punches soon made his adversaries
helpless.
LIVE UP TO THEIR NAMES.
Ball Players Show the Right Handles
Are Applied,..
Most baseball players blessed with
names referring to the great national
game have succeeded in living up to
their monakers. For instance. Fielder
Jones i3 conceded to have been some
fielder, while Neal Ball knew what to
do when the bases were filled with
none out and he caught a line drive.

LAST CURVE INVENTED.
So Says George Mullin, but Adds That
Pitchers Will Improve on Twists.
George Mullin. the Detroit pitcher,
declares that the last curve has been
invented "Pitchers may develop new
ways of throwing curves, but the ball
will never break different from what It
does now." says George.
"The pitchers of today have com
mand of all the curves, and from now
on it seems to me that baseball will be
developed from hitting and base run
ning angles.
"Pitchers of today can make the ball
curve in almost any direction, so what
chance is there for a 'new curve being
brought out?"

ONE TOUCH OF NATURE.
The world U growing In kindliness.
Brotherhood is becoming more than a
preacher's phrase. .
The late floods in Ohio and Indiana
and the disasters by wind and storm In
other states have once more revealed
the universal sympathy of man for
man.
From the president of the United
States down the response of the nation
was quick and substantial. -
Messages of. sympathy poured in
from the whole world. Every agency
the Red Cross, the army, the churches,
national, state and city governments
Joined in the work of mercy.
It Is so in every catastrophe. The
San Francisco earthquake, the sinking
of the Titanic, the Messina horror,
each contributed its chapter to the
book of human brotherhood.
The wealth of affection revealed com
pensates. If that were possible, for the
sickening loss of life and property.
With the passage of the years we are
growing more human, which means
that we are Approximating more near
ly to the divine standard.
We are approaching that bappy era
when the whole human race shall be
one family.
After nineteen hundred years we are
beginning to be Christian, to reflect the
Sermon on the Mount In onr everyday
lives.
Beginning, mind you! We still have
a long way to-go on that road.
We are also learning that complete
Individuality is only possible in com
plete brotherhood: that we can live
our own lives best only when we are
In full sympathy with the lives of
others. .
This Is a wealthy age, but It is not
richer In outer than in inner treasnres.
It sometimes requires the destruction
of the outward wealth to reveal that
In the spirit of man.
"And now abideth faith, hope and
charity, these three, but the greatest
of these is charity."
Perhaps a better translation would
make It "faith, hope aqd loving kind
ness." '
The floods of the central west brought
forth eqnal floods of loving kindness
from the hearts of the people
The physical waters of destruction
have receded, but the life giving waters
of love will flow on forever.
Ben Williams was queer, but Ben
'Viis a genius, and geniuses are usually
queer. He lived a roving life till he
was past sixty years old. then bought
an acre of ground commanding a beau
tiful view for $10 and built a log cabin
on it.
How he lived that Is, bow be bought
clothing and food, for be raised uoth
in no one knew. He had been some
thing of an artist, a newspaper man, a
poet aud an author generally. Whether
he had made enough money to enable
him to supply his limited wants no one
knew. He occasionally walked to the
store, six miles distant from his cabin,
to buy provisions or anything else he
needed and always had the cash with
which to pay. No one could Solve the
riddle, so it proved an endless source
of gossip for the countryside.
But one day a possible clew to how
Williams obtained the necessary funds
presented itself. A robbery was com
mitted in the region, and the fact at
once suggested itself to the community
that Williams was the robber. Every
one wondered why that solution of the
problem had not been thought of be
fore. A report was started that th
robbery had bw" .-r--
. .uuimitted by a
masked man just the height and bnild
of Williams. For a week this report
circulated, growing more definite as it
spread: then it occurred to some one to
mount a horse and ride over to the man
who had been robbed and ask him
about it. He said that his store had
been entered In the middle of the night
and he knew nothing about the rob
bery till the next morning. Neither he
fior anybody else had seen the robber.
But Williams having been suspected
of the robbery notwithstanding the
correction of this report, the talk went
on. and the more talk the more the
certainty not only that he made his
living my robbery, but that he was
guilty in the case under discussion.
Oy Adams, a man who had the repu
tai::u of being the principal talker
thereabout, said that Williams "ought
er be investigated." It wasn't to the
credit of the community that a man
could live in it without any visible
means of support and robberies gin 115
on without giving some account of
himself. A committee should go to his
cabin, ask him to explain how he lived
and see if the building contained stolen
goods. No onff had ever been there,
and for all any one knew Williams
might have the place full of plunder.
He talked the matter up; but though
he got a number of persons to agree
with him. somehow he couldn't get
anything done Then he called for
volunteers to serve on the committee.
No one volnutereuV so at last he said
that if be were appointed a deputy
sheriff he would do the job alone.
There was no objection to bis appoint
ment or his going to interrogate Mr.
Williams. The only objection in the
case was by individuals who were not
minded to go with him.
He concluded to go armed only with
the sheriff's badge. His mission was
to be a peaceful one, .therefore he
wouldn't need a weapon. He set out
one morning on horseback for Wil
liams' cabin and on reaching it dis
mounted, tied bis horse to a sapling
and appeared in the doorway. Wil
liam? was sitting at a table writing.
He looked up. saw the man standing
before him and asked what he could
do for him.
"Mr. Villianis.',said Cy, "I'm com
missioned by the people of this county
to come to you and ask your business."
"My business not being the business
of the county, I decline to answer."
, "In that event I am commissioned by
the people to explain to you that the
people make it their business to And
out your business, and with that end
In view l am directed to search your
house. You understand that this Is
simply a legal process, not a forcible
one."
Cy threw open his coat and showed
his badge.
"Proceed." said Williams and resum
ed his writing.
There was one room and a loft In
the cabin. No search was needed for
the room, for there was nothing but
a bunk and washstand and a cooking
stove in it The sheriff saw it all and
looked aloft.
"Any way to get np there?" he asked.
"Yes, but I'm too busy to get it for
yon."
"Tell me where it Is and I'll go for
It myself."
"1 keep it hidden. I'll go for it."
Laying down his pen. he went out
and returned with a ladder, which he
placed in position. Cy climbed . up
and, finding it" dark up there, asked
for a light. Williams handed up a
candle. Having satisfied himself that
there was no stolen goods in the loft
Adams was about to come down when
he saw that the ladder had been re
moved. Williams was driving a pen
at the table The sheriff asked for the
ladder.
"Not till you settle." was the reply.
"Settle for what?"
"For the ladder and the candle."
"How much?" ' .
"Ten dollars each."
There was a gun on the table ready
for use. and Adams thought he
wouldn't jump. Not having the moii
wiMi him. he aero" - "
tn- - . srive an order
ie amount in goods at the store.
Williaii'-.- ! " no the ladder: the sheriff
wrote the order and passed out
William-, i hough he lived twenty
years longer, in his cabin till- his death,
was never again investigated.
BE HONEST. .
Being honest is the greater part
of achievement. When you know
that you're doing the best within
you, you can't be downed. Self
respect is an eternal life preserver.
No matter how often circumstance
wrecks you, you're bound to float
back to solid ground again. When
men strive for posts of trust they
must be somewhat postlike them
selves and stand steady. Herbert
Kaufman.
