li Ml WILLIAMS
BEABY FOB BATTLE
Will Box Twenty Rounds at
Liigoon on New Year's
Afternoon.
. ''Kubo" Smith nnd Charles Wil
hams, wlio arc to box twenty rounds
at. Lagoon Now Year's afternoon, have
slopped training and from now on will
rest' up, finishing with light, exercise,
just enough to koop thomselvcs in con
dition. Iho men are down to specified
weight and each one is confident of
winning the contest. Tom Paiulcr lias
seen both men and line instructed them
regarding tho rules, especially in re
gard to an3' foul work, which ho will
not stand for. The men are to go into
tho ring and box twenty rounds under
Marquis of QucoiiHbury rules for points
and the contest will bo awarded to the
one .showing the most science.
Smith is tho J'avorito, being an old
hand in tho riug and having boxed
tho best men in the world at his weight.
Williams, on tho othor hand, has just
como out of the woods, much tho same
ns Ketchell, but he believes that ho is
it natural born fighter and while ho has
had only u few battles ho has trimmed
his men in such an easy fashion that
his Wyoming admirers aro coming down
in a special train to back him against
Smith. A special will also bo ruu down
from Ogden where Smith has many
friends.
Manager Wood lias completed all ur
rangcmcnls for special trains to run
over tho Salt Lake and Ogdon line, the
first of which will leave at 1:30, the
next at .1 :45 and tho lust train at U p.
in. atid will return immediately after
tho contest.
Blue Grass in Missouri.
Kentucky blue grass was introduced
in Missouri by an omigrant of tho early
days, in order to prevent, a wholesafo
1 exodus of Kontuckians back to their
native sod, says thy Kansas City Star.
The lull wild prairio grass of Missouri,
stretching "from eternity to eternity,'
ns one of tho pathfinders expressed it,
made the homesteaders seasick. The
boy who led tho expedition William
Smith by name is yot living in Macon,
Mo., jutil his front "lawn is velvet car
peted with the blue grass brought from
Kentucky in a bedtick in 1S40. Mr.
Smith was ninety years old on May 4
lust. Ho was twenty-two vears old
when he led tho expedition from Ken
tucky to this state. The emigrants had
not been in the state long when they
began putting their things back in the
wagons.
"What's iho matter with you fol
lows'" asked Smith.
"Can't live in a land where grass's
over the oxen's back," said a homesick
inn n.
"Wo can cut it."
"It don't look good to us."
Smith begged and pleaded, but most
of thoso who came here with him went
back. Ho knew what was the matter.
Two or three men agreed to wait until
young Smith wpiii back homo aud re
turned with his grass seed. He
made the long I front northern Mis
souri to liPxingN i. Ky., for that pur
pose alone, but -i'iits proved that it
was worth all the (rouble Whon tho
wild grass was cleaned out and the blue
grass sown in its place the region be
gan to look homelike. Smith made
another trip, and this time he carried
commissions from people far and wide
for blue grass seed. Somo of the pio
neers journeyed a hundred miles or
moro to got a sack of tho emblem of
old Kentucky when Smith got back
with his load. The Kontuckians began
to conic back as Missouri assumed the
appearance of 1 heir native state. Year
by year the bluo grass territor3' was
extended, until loday Missouri is as
worthy of the title, "The Blue Grass
State," as is the home of Colonel Wat
tcrson. Mr. Smith is now Cull of vears and
proud of his part in tho slate's develop
ment. He has only one real mistako to
look back upon with regret. That is
that he did not buy St. Louis when it
was offered to him for $25 au acre. He
had the money, too. On his first trip
to Missouri he stopped over a day or
two at the French hamlet. A laud agent
took him to one si do and' said:
"Stranger, I've got one of the best
propositions you ever heard of land
right in the heart of tho city at $2fi an
acre! Tliink of it! Some day this
town will be a place of five or six vcs.
ten thousand people! Then your lots
will be worth $100 apiece! How's that
for profit! Situated right here on tho
river, got. two 'bus lines, a couple of
taverns, a newspaper and a church or
two. It's the chance of a lifetime, for
a young man like you!"
Phut was in March, 1S30.
"The place scorned dead," said Mr.
Smith, in speaking of the matter re
cently. "Thcro didn't seem to be
enough life around the town to gel. up
a cockfight, and T decided to push on
lo better prospects. Even tho people
there excepting the real estate agents,
didn't seem very sauguino over thy out
look. It certainly never occurred to
mo that my $1500 at that time had tho
power of putting me in the class with
Monio Cristo had I not steeled myself
against the voice of tho promoter. I
guess he didn't know it cither, or he'd
have taken the bargain himself. "When
I go lo St. Louis these days it's an in
teresting subject for contemplation to
walk up and down Hroadway and recall
the time I turned it down at $25 an
acre."
THE LESSON OP A CEOAKEE,
He's very sure the world Is wrong,
Tho times are out of Joint.
Disaster's due ere very long
In fact, we've reached the point
Where not a ray of hope remains
To uav. us from the pit, '
And so ho takes the greatest pains
To make tho moot of It.
I!o cannot 3ee the sky above,
He cannot feel the nun,
Xo tlowora bloom for hhn in love,
No laughing rivers run.
Instead, his life is all a blank.
Ills days aro days of woe,
His heart- is cold, his flngera dank
His spirits vory low.
What good can such a man nchlcvc?
This much, If nothing more;
When we are ready to bellevo
Our hotter days are o'er,
The spectacle of such a chap
Doth tell iik with disgust.
And so wo vow through all mishap '
To laugh a hit, or bust!

Tho crankhouse is a most unpleasant
place to visit. There are sights in there
that you would not bo likely to forget
soon, nnd of course the guards want
to spare you from seeing such dis
agreeable things the cribs, for in
stance; always thu cribs. You'll ncvor
forget them.
You may never sec a man fastened
in ono of these things and you may
hear much from the guards about tho
ferocity of those who havo had to sub
mit to such reforming influences; you
may be told that the latent prisoner
who suffered thero tried to kill the cook
or attacked tho doctor, but nothing ho
had done could bo quito bad onough.

When you got homo again and put

cal contrivance iu the crankhouso in
Lansing prison, and tho chances aro 3'ou
won't read j'onr napor undorstandingly.
Nothing over will make you forgot en
tirely the vacant, staring eyes and ex
pressionless faces of tho unhappy
wretches in the crankhouse. most of

agreeable, an excellent official, long
tried and capable these men did not
invent the crib. They found it thore
when they followed in another's foot
steps. It is said by competent persons
that tltev have almost censed to use it
except for insane prisoners, who must
be restrained to save their own lives.
The pity of it is thnt the wnrden has
not burned it long ago.
Of courso, kid-glove methods never
would succeed in Lansing or any other
penitentiary, because many of tho
men and women who are imprisoned
thore aro the sort that need and heed
only tho very strictest discipline.
Iso one doubts that Warden Haskell
would not be long in command if ho
didn't keep a tight rein on his wards,'
but most people nowadays havo como
to think that a dark cell and occa

later, some one will pay for it.
It makes your heart grow tighter
when you see some of these things.
You can't deny a shudder and a feel

make or break them, according to the
way lhey may feel about il, after din
ner sonic day.
It isn't liard lo understand thai a
man who has lived eighteen or twenty
years in prison is likely to go out with
a chip on his shoulder or a grudge
against somo onu in authority. ' That
spirit produces gossip and gossip some
times gets into books and these bookii
hold fearful talcs.
There was "Tho Kansas Inferno,"
written in Lansing by a life prisoner,
il in said. This book was published
in Wichita, and no one knows how the
publisher got the manuscript. It tolls
nbout tho crib in this way.
"Tt is a box with holes" for air, into
which a prisoner is put face downward,
with a bar ucross his back, his hands
bound to his sides or breast. His head
and his neck and his feet aro then
'triced upJ so thut ho is in tho form
of a bow, and there ho stays, somo
tiiues for forty-eight hours. Men havo
becomo raving maniacs in the crib."
Enough to Drivo Man Mad.
The cribs in tho "erankliou8o'' in
Lansing do not quite como up to this
description. Thoy aro cases mado of
oak slats about seven or eight feet
long, four foot wido, and probably four
foot deep large enough to hold a vory
big man. Thero is no bar or placo foV
one to bo faatonod, and the prisoner
is not tied to it in any way. His hands
aro put in a leather muff, resting on his
breast, and he lies on his back. Tho
crib is closed and he is left there alone
to think it over.
There is another crib a few feet
away and perhaps it contains a gibbor
iug malefactor vho finds delight in
yelling aud bumping his head against
the slats. This is enough to drivo tho
other man crazy if ho isn't in as bad
a condition himself, and in any circum
stances it ccrtninl' does noihing to
ward quieting the most obstreperous
prisoner.
If he is just mean and lazy and
vicious, it makes him worse if it does
not drive him mad to stay there in
that crib, tho most solitary of all soli
tary confinement, the perfection of
cruel ingenuity, not so degrading, per
haps, as the whipping post used in
some State prisons today, but infinitely
more harmiul to the low remaining
Bhrcdfl of mornl'ty, 100 times more de
structive of ruanltood, a relic of bar
barous times.
Just how far tho prison officials go
in punishing convicts is a question that
has received much attention. It needs
much more. It. is important to record
in this connection that of the 23'S in
mates of Lansing prison January 21
only four wore in dark cells.
In ordinary circumstances this sort
of restraint serves every purpose. The
cells are large and clean and well ven
tilaled. i3rond and water form tho en
tiro menu until he feels that he can
obey the rules.
There are several large, airy, light
cells in a now brick house in which
men are jnit when they refuse to work.
Obviously a man will work in time if
he knows ho will get nothing to eat
until ho has completed a task. When
a man is put in ono of these cells a
wheelbarrow load of stone is put in
with him and a hammer. When he
has mado "little ones out of all tho
big ones" he gets his dinner or supper
and not sooner, it seldom falls.
When a man has been put in the
crib a few times he is fit lor nothing
else except in tho crankhouso. There
aro several in that house now who

Norway's Master of Music
It was Hans -von Bulow who called
Grieg the "Chopin of the North," and
tho sobriquet was not inappropriate. It
cannot bo doubted that Chopin 's bold
new harmony was one of the sub-con-scious
forces that, helped to shape
Grieg's musical genius. His mother ap
preciated nnd delighted in Chopin's mu
mc at a time when it was little under
stood and much underrated: and from
childhood Chopin 4 was Grieg's best
loved composer. In his student davs he '
was deeply moved by the "intense
minor mood of the Slavic folk music iu
Chopin's harmonics and tho sadness
ovor the unhappy fate of his native
laud in his melodies." Tho musical
style of the two masters havo many
points of similarity. They are akin in
refinement, in the kind and even the j
dogrec of originality with which each
has enriched his art, iu mairy of their
anna and methods. After Chopin, Grieg
is perhaps the greatest nationalist
among composers; and like the groat
Polo again lie raised his nationalism in
to world-wide acceptance he. wrote iu
no dialect, but. in the universal lan
guage. If Grieg never quito attained i
to 1 ho heights of Chopin in his piano- 1
forte music, he surpassed his Polish pre
decessor in the ability lo handle other
instruments and in his songs, of which
ho published no fewer than one hun
dred and .twenty-five.
It is these songs that constitute Ed- '
yard Grieg's highest achievement: and f

prehensible and alluring melodies, lie ;
patterned these original melodies after
(.he folk-songs of that Northlaud he
loved so ardently, just as ho often em- j
ployed the rhythms of its folk-dances; '
and by these , means he inipnrtcd to his
work a fascinating oxotic touch and
uuccecded in evoking as if by magic
the moods of the land and the people.
He is an impressionist in music, who

THE OLD AND THE NEW.
The baby ulept well In tho eradlo of olrt.
By tho roaring blaze, when the nights
wcro cold.
And Homebody rocked with rhythmic
cwoep
Till the buby eyelids wore clo3cd In sleep.
In summer tlmo, too, by the open door,
Crooning a lullaby, o'er and o'or,
j Tho foot inuat keop the cradle swinging.
Tho tired voice must go on a-s!nglng.
The baby Hlecps well In the eradlo today;
Iu the Illckeriug gas logs tho shadows
play,
With a rhythmic sweep does the crudlo
rock
To and fro llko an eight-day clock.
Wound up each night, it swings along,
While the gramophone croons out tho
sung,
And the baby cares little so long us
there's swinging
And tho gramophone keeps up its singing.
Joke That Is Not Funny.
In the Amoricnn Magazine lOruust
Poolo writes an article on "Now Read
ers of tho Neffs." A million new read
ers como to this country from foreign
shoros every year. Mr. Poolo tells many
iutorestinpr stories. For example:
Over on tho Enst Side, in two rear
rooms, in a tenement near tho river,
lived a Norwegian with his wife and
thoir boy Christy.
"Jl'y boy," no said to nio; "he is
why wo come to America, to give him
good chances. An now he grow Amer
ican so fast I can't keep close." To
koop close, he, too, was tryiug to "grow
American fast." And as the Subway
was no help, he was working hard every
night learning lo read the newspaper.
"I must know." he said anxiously,
"I must know dcHo t'ings. Mv boy
ho play games wid sonic dice. 'J'o him
I say:
" ' Christy, it is wicked to gamble.'
But ho say:"
" 'Fadder. it is not wicked. Tt is
! good business.' An' he talk to me Wall
Street. JTo talk an' I see ho is wrong,
but to make him nee right T must know.
Bo T read." llo assumod a shrewd,
knowing expression, ludicrously out of
keeping on his big, serious face. "1
begin to know woll dis gamble busi
ness, "rhe said.
''An' also I read Graft. My boy ho
talk too much dc Crrat'tors. Jlo talk
to me big Tammany man nn' Trust,
mon an business mon. Soon I. get
myself angry.
' ' Christy 1 T say to my boy. 'Desc
men you must not like so much. All
desp men are burglars! ' But ho laugh.
" 'No, not on your life-! ho say.
'Burglars go to jail. Dese men are
only drafters!' "
At Ibis tho doctor and T both
laughed. The big man leaned back and
stared at us. perplexed and indignant.
"NVliy, ia it a noko?" he asked " Vou '
American men see so often jokes. " He
thought hard for a moment'. "Maybo
vou sec too often," he added. Wc
laughed again.
"irou ure right," said tho doctor.
"Wo do. And America needs men just
like you, men who won't bco tho joke ! ' '
HER TASTE FOR GORE.
T.
At seventeen alio proudly wore his colors
and was glad to see
IIow little fear he had of gore; his punt
ing filled her heart with glee;
Shn shouted when lie got tho ball and
clapped her hands to see him run.
And though his bleeding features all were
shapeless when the game was dono
She praised hi in for the way ho saved
dear alma mater from disgrace
And sweetly pressed her lips against the
only clean spot on his fact.
II.
With chilling dread, at thirty-eight she
offered up a solemn prayer.
The record he had mado was great, but
widly she refused to care;
5ho heard the faint nnd far-off cheers.
and had forebodings that were
dark
Thero was a lull! A thousand fears came
crowding In upon her hark!
'Twns ho 'twnG ho! They'd brought him
home her hero lived but, filled
with fright.
She saw the scratch upon his cheek and
fainted at the awful sight.

Paris Gowns From Sixth Avenue.
Tt is not only the high-priced dress
makers that one must consider in dis
cussing the extravaganco of American
women. Iu New York City alono are
4S00 firms that manufacture 'ready-made
garments for women. Many or these
aro designed from imported moden..
Sixteen hundred gowns a day havo been
sold in a shop that gets its supply from
ouo of these places. I
"You mean." I questioned, "that
when we buy a $n0 gown in a Sixth
avonuo department store, we are reallv
buying a French gown so far as escsu
tials arc concerned ?"
"Certainly," said Coralie, "for there
aro only u few dressmakers in this
country who are daring enough to or
iginate. Manufacturers go abroad for
uiodols. Yet, on tho other hand, tho
French often borrow from American
customers their original ideas. Years
ago when pretty Juliette Paquin ap
peared one famous day at Armenonvillc
in a simple whit.o linen suit with Eton
jacket, distinct among the elaborate
gowns that represented millions of dol
lars, she said frankly to her admirers
that she hud taken "tho iden from an
American girl. It is not only our
American dollars, but the clever ca
prices of Americnn customers that have
helped in making these cstablish
nieuts." Gertrude lynch in Everybody's.
