Nature Is wonderful and very deep,
as the Katzenjammer Kids said at
the edge of the Grund Canyon. You
can identify a cow by Its none print,
a man by his finger prints, and a
little child by the blood resemblance
to the father. They had to rely on
mere resemblance in old days.
The blood teat would cause much
trouble were 1t not for tho fact that
women are so much better than
men.
President Lowell of Harvard tells
graduates to "think clearly, not as
the crowd does, but think for them-
selves."
Excellent advice, but not one in
ten thousand can follow it. And
thinking for themselves is harder for
college men than other men, because
during college years young minds
arc poured into a mold. It takes a
strong mind to break the mold and
choose its own shape.
Lincoln was "thinking for him-
•feif" when he said. "If slavery is
fact wrons. nothing is wrong." Such
thinking for yourself develops In the
rolUude of the country more than in
tlie crowd of the university.
In va.lous cities drinking foun-
tain:; aro Installed, "to make horses
happy in hot weather."
Tho way to prove that you sym-
pathize with suffering animals is not
to eHtablieh drinking fountains but
to replace your horses with motor
trucks. The motor truck has done
more for suffering horses than nil
kind-hearted societies and individ-
uals combined.

It is said that a rich man in Chi-

and had those glands transplanted
to his own body, to increase physi-

That is strange, not new. to take
from your fellowman a supply of

of that kind of tribute. *
To see women clinging deeper- ;
ately to youth is pitiful, but you un-
derstand It. Women rely on men's
attention, and men desire youth.
But for an intelligent tnalo adult to
rob the body of another In order to
plant in his own body more trouble,
more of the turmoil that disturbs
contemplation and makes life a nui-
sance, is doubly strango and trebly
pitiful.

By LEAVELLE.
Dicky Dixon, hard-hltUng little
Texas fighter from Port Worth, won
the verdict over Duke DeVol of Law-
ton In a ten-round bout Prlday night,
staged by the Oklahoma Athletic
club.
DeVol was a favorite from the
start with those who had seen him
fight on a D. A. C. card a week ago.
Pans seemed to think that the frail
boy from Texas would be put to sleep j
for the count but he showed in the '
bout that he had the stuff.
The first round was about even:
in tho second DeVol seemed to get a
slight edge. The third and fourth
rounds were nearly even while in the
fifth the Texas boy came out on the
long end.
The sixth stanza was Dixon's by
an easy margin as he slammed the
Lawton boy to the ropes raining
blows on his face and body.
The Texas boy took the seventh
also.
In the eighth DeVol came out
strong rallying to make the fight a
draw but the Texas lad met him
half way and this round was about
even.
The ninth went to Dixon.
The tenth was the hardest con-
tested bout of the evening. Duke
DeVol seemed determined to make
the bout a draw while Dixon intend-
ed to carry his advantago through
the fight. Dixon took the last round
by a slight advantago and earned
the decision, which was a popular
one.
The card was featured by three
i good prelims.
j Storie won a decision over Wayne
Waggoner in a hard fought six-round
semi-windup. This was Stories first

time and he came back strong. Both
I fighters were local boys.
Floyd Drake of Oklahoma City and
Joe Luke of Houston fought the only
draw of the evening In a four-round
bout. Both boys were willing and
glad to mix and they swapped many
hard punches.
The Popcorn Kid took a drubbing,
this time from Thad Johnson. Both
were local boys. Many expressed
the opinion that this was the best
card the O. A. C. has staged for a
I :
harmony with the American commis-
sions.

The Indians were handed their
third defeat at the hands of Tulsa
Priday when Oscar Hoagland re-
lieved Glazer and pitched a perfect
game. The sad blow-up of Roy
Allen in the ninth inning was what
put the game on ice for Tulsa.
Twice McDaniel, recruit from a
Texas college, slammed the ball over
the fence one time driving another
run in ahead of him.
The score stood 5 to 2 when the
fatal Inning arrived. Pour runs
were bumped off Roy Allen, so that
the final count read 6 to 2 for the
Oil city.
Besides his stellar work with the

donated by that great sportsman—
Lord Lonsdale. The N. S. C. carries
a lot of weight in all matters per-

to titles the press comes pretty near
having the last say. Por the general
good of the. fistic game it is most
desirable that the European boxing
organizations affiliate with the
American commissions to that end.

American sport writers in the east
and some of the London and Paris
critics of boxing have again taken
up the question of a National Box-
ing Union for America. One eastern
writer in his discussion of the mat-
ter, says: "America, unlike Europe,
has no organization with full con-
trol over the game and which can
force the issue In all matters which
concern the welfare of the sport."
The writer must have been think-
ing of the much vaunted Board of
Control of England. To some of the
writers in London and other centers
of the British Isles the board is con-
sidered a farce, and has no more
real control over the game than
Babe Ruth has over Judge Landis.
The fact is the press boys In the big
metropolis, every once in a while.
give the board a fine trimming, es-
pecially when it announces decisions
| which are almost farcical. They can-
not force a boxer to defend his title
j as was claimed by one of the writ-
1 era, as was proven in the case of
I Arthur Wyns. the featherweight
| champion of Europe, whom the board
tried to force to meet Gene Criqui,
Preneh champion. The board de-
clared Criqui champion, but the dc-
j clslon was howled down by London
j and Paris writers alike.
The fact is America is in a better
position right now to form an au-
tliorative governing body of profes-
sional boxing than any other country
in tho world. With boxing going on
in most of the states under the com-
mission rule, and legalized at that.
it seems only reasonable that tho
various commissions should be able
to get together in forming a gov-
erning body among themselves. Even
at this time tho various states are
working to that end and negotiations
are on to affiliate with Australian
boxing authorities as well as those
of Europe, in addition to thia the j Advice Given By Northcliffe !"ul)
The Reason Madge Kelt Sorry for
Allen Brake.
The quarter of an hour which my
father had named was not yet up
when I heard his low knock agaiu
upon my door. I opened it quickly,
for 1 was wrought up to so high a
nervous tension by the request he
had made that action of some sort
was necessary to me. and put out my
hand to draw him inside the room.
"No," he said hurriedly. "I want
you to come with me to my room, at
once. Allen is there, and I—I am
quite anxious about him. You—
mustn't mind if he is a bit brusque.
He has been under a terrible physi-
cal and mental strain. I do not
believe he has slept two hours out of
the last forty-eight."
His voice was low, but imperative,
and his hand on my arm urged me
along the corridor around the corner
and down a stop to the quaint wing
—evidently an afterthought of the
house builder—which is one of the
oddly-charming things about the
farmhouse we have bought. It con-
tains three rooms, one of which wo
have fitted up as a bath, another is
my father's, while the third is a
guest room, especially well-suited to
masculine occupancy.
"She is Here, Allen.**
My father still has the luxurious
tastes which he possessed when
Broadway nicknamed him the
"Quester," and with the aid of a
specially-built day-bed, and costly,
wonderfully-fashioned screens, he
has made his commodious room with
its big fireplace, into a sitting room,
which carries no betrayal that it Is
also a bedroom.
Bookcases line the walls, huge
softly-cushioned lounging chairs are
set conveniently near them, as well
as drawn close to the fire. And from
the rare etchings and prints on the
walls to the cabinet of curios from
all parts of the world, there is no ob-
ject which does not have some espe-
cial significance to him, some mem-
ory of the eventful existence he has
led.
He turned the knob of his door
softly, opened it, and stepped inside.
Then as I almost unconsciously
shrank back, he put out a reassuring
hand and drew me Inside.
As he turned to me to close it
again, I saw the figure of Allen
Drake wrapped in a heavy dressing
gown of Oriental stuff and extended
in a big arm chair by the fire. His
slippered feet were resting on the
fender, his whole body was suggest-
ive of cold, a longing for warmth.
His eyes were closed. His face was
gray with exhaustion. Indeed, so
deathlike did he look that I with
difficulty suppressed a little cry of
alarm as I grasped my father's arm.
"She is here, Allen," my father
said in a low voice.
Por a long second there was no re-
sponse from the motionless figure in
the chair. Then the eyelids with
their long womanish lashes lifted
slowly as if by a great effort, and
Allen Drake's tired eyes looked into
mine.
A Key to Memory.
You are very good," he said slow-
gant mien which had so antagonized
me. "I have come to the end of my
strength -and of my knowledge.
Your father wishes to show one of
those papers to you—and he will ex-
plain to you about the others. I—
I— cannot."
I have rarely seen such exhaustion
of mind and body in any one.
I guessed that never before had
Allen Drake been compelled to con-
fess himself vanquished, and I could
imagine the terrific strain he had put
upon his powers of concentration and
deduction before he had given up.
And there was an indifferent hope-
lessness in his speech which showed
how utterly useless he deemed my
