CORBETT LOSES THE FIGHT! Many May Think Puglliat’a Defeat by Fltzalmmons Wa» In the Nature of a Judgment. If I were 11 superstitious man I might give undue weight to the follow ing Incident uh u hud omen. Just be fore Corbett hud met Sullivan and while he wus In training he bought u collie for $10 —a wonderfully pugna cious dog, which would tHekle any thing. There was one thing on eurth that Ned loved, and only one, and that wus Corbett. And Jim loved the dog for his bravery. Ned always slept at the end of his master's bed and If any body approached the room he would give a terrible growl. In a word, he was Corbett's protector. Ned was Corbett’s constant companion during training for the Sullivan light and went with him to New Orleans. Then he traveled everywhere with his vic torious master and made his appear ance on the stage with him In the training scene in “Gentleman Jack." It was- Ned's growls tliut aroused the camp one night when Corbett was training for the Mitchell fight to the fact that some persons hud climbed up next to Corbett’s room. It looked us If they were there to malm or hurt Corbett. In fact, when they were dis covered and shot ut, they shot hack. Os course, Ned was the hero of the af fair. When we went to Europe Jim lent Ned to John W. Norton and he re mained with that man until Norton died. When Corbett went to Carson he forgot all about Ned, partly from the fact, I suppose, that his brother Harry had brought from Han Francisco a beautiful full-blooded collie for whom Jim had now conceived a deep affec tion. Not knowing this, I thought It would he a good Idea to take Ned with me when I should Join Corbett at Car son. I paid Ned's expenses across the continent In the baggage car, took good care of him ami anticipated greut pleasure In Introducing him to Corbett again. I found Jim sitting with the beautiful collie dog ltl his lap. Ned, furiously Jealous, sprang at the thront of the dog who had supplanted him In his old master's affections, and they had a terrible row until Corbett sav agely pulled them apart and kicked Ned out of the door Into the deep snow. That night Corbett, who slept In a cottage opposite the little hotel where we were training, took the col lie and went to bed, and the next morning, outside of Corbett's door, with his nose on the sill, was Ned—- frozen stiff! And Corbett lost the fight!—From "The Fighting Mun," by William A. Ilrndy. This Prevents Seasickness. Encouraging tests have recently been made by an eastern Inventor with a self-adjusting berth for steamships. In Its present form the device has somewhat the appearance of a lawn or porch swing set In a reclining posi tion, but although It might be em ployed In such capacities It Is primar ily Intended to provide a level, vlbra tlonless bed for steamer passengers. The hunk Is suspended at the head and foot from an nngulnr beam, which In turn, Is hung from the cross bar of the supporting frame. The arrangement permits the bed to re main level nt all times, regardless of either the longitudinal or lateral mo tions of a vessel. Furthermore, the vibrations of the engines uml pro pellers are not transmitted to the oe cupant of u suspended berth. The ap paratus was tried out and commended by passengers and officers aboard a steamer plying between New York and Norfolk. The device Is protected by patents.—Popular Mechanics’ Maga zine. Blowing Up ■ Gun Position. There had been moderate firing nil through the day, but, as often hap pens, there was now a complete calm. An officer, staring through his peri scope binoculars, called my attention to a group of Germans. They were some distance hack of their own front lines and were working under a screen of green branches. They were evi dently laying steel plates for a mu ch tm*-gun protection. The artlfleial bushes were almost a sufficient blind, hut not quite. At that second there was the burst of a gun back of our lines. The next Instant I saw a tree crash down nt the exact spot where the Germans were working. A wave of black dirt rose, mixing its color Into the white puff of the exploded shell. There was no more machine gun parapet repairing that afternoon. —l.ueiau Swift Klrtland In Leslie'*. “Daylight Saving" Work* Well. “Daylight saving'' was a success In Austria-Hungary, reports United States Consul General Albert Halstead from Vienna. Commenting on the results of the “daylight saving” experiment, which began April 90 and finished Sep- I tember 30 last, he says thut it proved most beneficial to the health of the Viennese due to the extra sunlight In working hours, and also did much to save expeuse for lighting. It Is cal culated. he reports, that In Vienna alone the people consumed 138,000,000 [ cubic feet of gas less and saved JH2,- | tax). The city of Vienna required 14,- 000.000 cubic feet of gas less for street lighting. '■ MU-——- Cocoa From the Enemy's Country. A cargo of 400 tons of cocoa re cently arrived in London from the former German colony of Cameroon*, j Before the war the colony was Ger many's chief cocoa-producing colony, and from Canieroons and Togoland she derived something like 4.000 tons a year Administrator’s Sule. | Georgia—Montgomery County: Under and by virtue of an order granted by Hon.
