his place the one which fell Sunday-
would have been of more benefit to
some of'those of a drier section. Mr.
Hopkins states that his wheat is
looking fine and would have yielded
at least 30 bushels per acre without
the last rain. The farmer who has
had his seed bed prepared In this
i section can always depend on at
least a two-thirds crop, according to

Speaking the other day of one

of the name, brought up the follow-

the prohibitory law was generally
enforced In Kansas, a bibulous
stranger staggered up to the afore
said citizen and tried to strike up a
conversation. But our ranchman
wasn't inclined toward further ac
quaintance. As a last resort, the
inebriated fellow finally Said: 'Excuse
m' mis'er, but would y' mln' tel

is Paul,' said the annoyed man
shortly, without looking up from his
paper. The Intoxicated one meditat

Nothing strange or unusual about

"Cardin Cured Me"
For nearly ten years, at different times, Mrs. Mary Jinks
of Treadway, Tenn., suffered with womanly troubles. She
says: "At last, I took down and thought I would die. I
could not sleep. I couldn't eat I had pains all over. The
doctors gave me up. I read that Cardui had helped so
many, and I began to take it, and it cured me. Cardui
saved my lifel Now, l can do anything."
CARDU I Woman'sTonic
If you are weak, tired, worn-out, or suffer from any of
the pains peculiar to weak women, such as headache,
backache, dragging-down feelings, pains in arm, side, hip
or limbs, and other symptoms of womanly trouble, you
should try Cardui, the woman's tonic. Prepared from per-
fectly harmless, vegetable ingredients, Cardui is the best
remedy for you to use, as it can do you nothing but good.
It contains no dangerous drugs. It has no bad after-effects.
Ask your druggist He sells and recommends Cardui.

"Burned Himself Out"
It' the old tory," said James .1.
Corbett they used to call him Jim
as he pessimistically contemplated
the smoldering end of his cigar
"The finest game in the world Is
given a black eye because a man died
in the ring. No man of any pretense
to class ever died as a result of a
blow on the chin. I do not believe
that any first rate man ever died ol
a single blow. Luther McCarty died
ecause his heart had been burned
out, His death might have followed
run for a car.'
Then Corbett told something which
has not been hinted at before.
McCarty was a good loy," said
he. "Perhaps the best of the present
crop of white heavies. But he had
lived too fast. He had burned himselt
out. 1 have reason to know that he
drank Hennessey brandy ag though
it were water by the goblet, almost
I think perhaps the boy knew that
his heart had gone back on h m
That's why he had avoided fighting
in the last few months of his life,
and why he picked easy marks when
he did fight. And it accounts for
the gale of excitement in which he
entered the ring at Calgary. Any
man might be nervous if he feared
that his heart might stop on him at
the first blow."
Corbett holds that no man who is
not physically perfect can be consld
ered in line for the championship
And one blow can do no permanent
hurt to such a man.
"If he is struck on the chin," said
he, "his body must give. It is cer-
tain to give enough to take the dead
ly force out of the blow. Such a
thing as snapping a man's neck by
a punch is Impossible. A man may
be knocked out by a blow on the
point of the chin, but even then it
can't 8nap his neck. The head swings
with the blow as though it were on
a pivot."
He was reminded that McCarty
had been examined by a physician be.
fore he entered the ring and pro-
nounced in perfect trim.
Bunk," said Corbett. "All bunk.
I don't believe that any fighter was
ever given an honest, thorough ex-
amination before a fight. I've been
examined, and the examination was
always hasty and perfunctory, and
designed only to head off criticism
I've seen other men examined. The
examination is always of the same
sort. Bunk."
Corbett thinks that the fighter of
today Isn't what the fighter of yes-
terday was.
He's a refined, clever, gentlemanly
chap today," said the one-time cham-
pion In the big division, "but he
lacks the stamina his forerunner had.
And why shouldn't he? Ix)ok what
the old-tlmerB had to undergo. Ev-
eryone's hand was against the fighter
a few years ago. The police chased
him. Public sentiment was against
him. When he went out for a fight
he sometimes rode for miles in an
open buggy— and then fought behind
a haystack. His only protection
after the fight was In the speed of |
his legs. I've known men to go
hammering all over the country of
a blustery winter night and then
fight at the end. Only men of rug-
ged strength and bulldog courage
could stand that.

is courted by the women who are
crasy for men of the ring, and is apt
to take big midnight meal dressed in
evening clothes, uuder the soft
lights of a fashionable restaurant In
a word, he is a gentleman. He uses
good language, he dresses well, he
kuows a little of art and a little ot
literalure but he isn t the tighter
he used to be. Ix ok at Wolgast'
When 1 first knew him he was a
tough, red-faced, leather-muscled lit-
tle devil, lie was hearty and rough
and scrappy. He wore a sweater
and snarled. The last time I saw
lore his defeat he was just a
little dude.
"'Get back, Wolgast,' 1 told him
'Get back to your old self. Being
pretty doesn't win fights.'
"The old timers fought real fights.
These youngster^ go on with their
short tights until suddenly they flndj
they Hie all in. Thnf Hp ir« ui.w-i
with Pitz. He stayed in the r u„
long. I knew when I wus gone and
jult fighting. My last fight was
against a champion."
There's a theory held by professors
in stone universitieg that a blow de-
livered by the gloved hand has a
greater percussixe power than the
blow delivered by the bare hand or
in skintight gloves.
'Tush!" said Corbett. "Folly!
The man who strikes does not put
the shoulder behind the blow with
the bare hand as he does when iie
delivers a blow with the glove. The
padded glove protects the hand,
whereag there is a grave danger ol
smashing your hand if you put your
true strength into a blow with the
bare knuckleB. When you light with
bare hands you instinctively try to
cut the other man up You slash
him rather than smash him. If you
get a chance to put one on his Jaw
safely, you would do it--but the
chance rarely comes. You might
misjudge the distance, or he might
stumble forward, and you'd get all
your weight In a blow which would
land upon the bones of hig skull.
Then they could hear your hand
breaking out In the street.
He tells a story to illustrate this
point. One of the hardest battles
Corbett ever had—perhapB the hard
est battle—was that fought on the
barge with Joe Choynski.
"Choynskl," Corbett declares,
"was about the lest man who never
got to be a champion."
The police had been chasing them
and had seized -Choynski's gloves.
When they got in the ring Choynski
waB bare handed. Corbett had the
3-ounce gloves in which they had
agreed to fight.
"I'll fight as we are." Corbett
said. "My gloves against his bare
hands."
Everyone thought that Corbett
was giving himself the worst of it.
"I knew better," said Corbett. "I
knew he couldn't hit me with his
bare hands—even when he put on
driving gloves, as he did later as
hard as I could hit hini with my pro-
tected fiets. I was right, and won
the fight."
The former champion wears a de-
jected look when asked to discuss
the present heavy weight situation.
"To find the best man in thlB
clutch," said he, "is like trying to
pick the best weed In a field. None
of them amounts to anything. Fitz
could have gone through the list and
whipped 'em three a night. Compare
Willard and Bill I^ang and Gunboat
Smith and A1 Kaufmann and Jim
Flynn—the men of today- -with the
men of fifteen years ago. Just think
of it—such men as Sullivan and
Frank Slavin and Joe Goddard and
Charlie Mitchell and Joe Choynski
and Bob FltZBimmonB and Tom
Sharkey and Jim Jeffries and Gub
Ruhlin were all in the ring at al-
most the same time. You can't com-
pare those fellowB with the men of
today. It's unthinkable. Johnson
waH never more than a pretty good
heavy. I think Langford is his su-
perior. But old Peter Jackson waB
one of the greatest pugilists, white or
black, I ever met.
