Jeff was In prime condition.

But they 'are poor Judftes of flphters.1
Their Ideal Is Bill Squires, and simply
because Johnson handled Tommy Burns
so easily they are convinced that he
cannot be beaten."
Slavln, one of Fltz"s first
friends
to greet him when he stepped
down the gangplank, cannot understand
how Johnson can lose.
"You must remember Johnson's youth,
his elasticity, his cleverness anci his
strength," expostulated Slavin in the
midst of a sharp exchange of verbal
fireworks with Fits.
. "But you forget Jeffries' endurance,
his persistency and his aggressiveness."
Then Fits . told why he thought Jeff
woud win. Johnson was a splendid de

man to get, but he never was one to
force hostilities. Jeff, on the other

The mass meeting tonight ; at tho
Portland theatre ,1s the event of Bojr
week., Testerday's proclamation bear
ing the command of the boy mayor that
all shall come who have let themselves
be young again, in spirit tf not In years,
caused .no. surprise, though it was un
expected. ' Planar for- Its holding grew
out of, the warm 'enthusiasm caused by;
personal contact with the boy situation
In Portland.- Therefore It seemed an
entirely natural thing that the formal
program be set; alde and , the great,
meeting heldU -y-,;::;:. j J
s'The Idea la; Jo. set squarely befpre, the
friends of boys in Portland Just what
work among and for boys means.' Major
Peixotto will tell how work for boys
not only helps them, but helps the work
ers. He. with Father ' McDevttt and
other stirring speakers, does not ' deal
In cheap sentiment or platitudes. ' He
demonstrates success. ;. -
I , ' Xnowledgv Out of Fun. y' ,
From Major Pelxottd's standpoint suc
cess is embodied In his remarkable boys
of the Columbia Park, Boys' ilub who
can sing better, play better, and put up
a better exhibition of athletics, baseball
or vaudeville, than any set of boys ever
before seen in Portland. Tet they are
not unusual boys in the sense of re
markable ability. They are boys who
have been learning things while they
had good times, and it Is this combina
tion of fun and learning that it is de
sired to establish in Portland.
' The Columbia Park boys have made a
rallying place of their club house. Port
land boys have no rallying place. Their
friends wish to establish one for them.
Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Chapln and Ralph
Hoyt have been having the newsboys,
200 of them, meet down in the People's
Institute, .on Burnslde , street Here
there Is neither equipment nor attract
ive surroundings. With all their devo
tion they have not been able to hold the
boys.
-', Heed Equipment.
-- "We have been working with plenty
of material, but no equipment," said
Mr. Chapln. "We get our boys togeth
er and we are thrilled with their possi
bllltles for citizen making, yet we are
not able to hold them together for lack
of attractive features. A boy is a red
blooded animal with a mind and a heart
He is the most loyal and affecttonata
and the most uncontrollable of - all
creatures. Time, thought, affection, are
better Invested in boys than anywhere
else. But we must remember boyf like
to play, to exercise. You must exercise
them In mind. and body,, too. Such a
combination Is irresistible. We have
the best native talent in the country
right here in Portland,; but so far we
haven't had the equipment"
Mr. Chapin's words explain the ambi
tion that actuates the promoters of to
night's rally. , They want the people to
have contact with the situation. They
want the enthusiasm of those who have
this contact to spread and - increase
throughout the city, - They want to have
the help of all who are friends to the
boys in making arrangements for big
ger work. ..- i
' Expect Good Attendance.
' From the Interest already shown and
the fact that the call for the mass meet
ing was the outgrowth of this interest,
a big attendance tonight has been as
sured. The Portland theatre will be
thrown open to all who come and there
is no charge for admission. - The ad
dresses will be from men who have pow
er and who have faith In the merits of
the boys cause. Music will be furnished
by the Columbia Park boys.. - -
xne newsooys ana Columbia Park
boys played ball yesterday, and today
the newsies ere, ead, for they were beat
en to the tune of 17 to J. Many of the
newsies witnessed the vaudeville of the
Columbia Park boys at the Portland
theatre last night , They came away de
termined to learn to do as well them
selves. Those who are most interested
in Boys' week are the boys themselves.

It is hard to convince some people that
coffee does them an injury! They lay
their bad feelings to almost every cause
but the true and unsuspected one. t
But the, doctor knows. His wide ex
perlence has proven to him that, to
some systems, coffee Is an insidious poi
son that undermines the health. .
Ask the doctor if coffee is the cause of
constipation, stomach and nervous
troubles. .- . '
"I have been a coffee drinker all my
life. I am now 42 years old, and when
taken sick two years ago with nervous
prostration the doctor said that my
