Just a Bit of Philosophy
There were two men, One had the blues. By logic he
tried to prove to himself thnt effort is not worth while and
that the devil must he a good fellow. He worked hard,
and glowered as he worked. He was sure that life meant
toil and, finally, a handful of dust in a hole in the ground—
and then oblivion.
The other man whistled as he toiled. {Sometimes he
sang, and very often he smiled.
Surely trouble never touched him!
"I, too, could be happy," said the Pessimist, "if my
life, like yours, was one grand, sweet song. 1 would like to
be happy."
"Listen," said the other. "Accept a bit of my philos
ophy. I believe in making the best of things. 1 have wor
ked under a strain that, without my philosophy, would
have meant insanity. I have had sickness and worry and
tragedy touch me. I refused, as far as 1 could, to worry.
I have so refused for years.
"I work for a corporation. Perhaps I am only a cog
in the great machine, but the machine belongs tome. I
feel it. I really believe it. ] build for myself. lam happy
when Igo to work in the morning. I oan hardly wait for
the moment when I will begin swinging things. It matters
not that I haven't a penny invested in it, and that rude
shocks occasionally smite me. It matters not that lam oc
casionally reminded that I work for a salary, and that it is
a long ways from the head to the foot of the giant business
concern. It is MY business and its growth is MY pride,
and my philosophy says that whether I am at a desk or in
the foundry I MUST dig in my toes and do my level best
for my own sake.
"I am happy. lam making the best I know how of
things.
"Does this sound like foolishness? It is the gospel of
keeping the heart young. It is good gospel for all men
who work. Old man, look up and keep your heart young.
You can if you will."
And he shouldered his burdens again, smiling.

It is still up to Barney Mullin nnd
•'lndian" Joe Gregg to "Missourize"
the public as to who is the better
man in a straight rule fight. Neither
man was able to establish a sufficient
Superiority last night to secure a de
cision and the hard fought, gruelling
mill resulted in a draw at the end of
2ft rounds. It was a notable battle
end there were times when it was
just hard luck that kept either man
from winning.
® ® ®
It was an exceptionally orderly
crowd which gathered In Washington
Jiall last night to witness the much
talked of and much postponed go.
.Never has a contest in this section
of the country ever gone through the
adversities that did the Mullin-Grcgg
go. Hctween the hoodooa and the
knockers, the contest was up in tiie
air for weeks and even as late as last
night some of the men with sledges
did what they could to convince those
desiring to attend that the light
■would not be allowed to go on.
® ® s
But all the efforts to hammer the
two men out of the city resulted in
g failure and those who accepted the
invitations to be present were surely
given their moneys worth. It was not
what any expert would call a scien
tific fight, but it is dead certain that
there was more fighting In those 20
xour.ds than has been found in any
two fights in this city put together.

The men worked every second of
the time from the first sound of tlie
gong and after the referee decided to
keep clear of the fighters nnd allow
them to work themselves out of the
clinches it was just tbe hardest kind
of battling—the kind which tests se
verely a man's strength and endur
ance.
® ® ®
Honestly, I was surprised at the
work of the Indian in that go. He
lias never been given full credit for
his cleverness, his staying powers
and liis headwork. In generalship,
Joe certainly had It over Mullin for
a shade, but his blows were not
forceful enough. He landed dozens
of times in vulnerable spots, but only
once or twice did his blows prove
damaging. On tlie Other hand, Mullin
was stronger with the punch, but
Qregg's swift work minimized the
force of the Irishman's blows, which
all to ooften were blocked or evaded.
® ® ®
One of the most noteworthy rounds
was the tenth, In which both men
were up against a funny proposition.
It came in a mixup which, at short
range, was one of tlie few times the
two did not tie up in a clinch. Har
ney whipped through an uppercut just
ns Gregg came through with a wild
haymaker.
Both blows landed.
Gregg went back, all but out and
hung onto the ropes, dazed und
wabbly.
Barney went down on his face and.
although able to get up at once, he
had beer, jolted severely and imagined
that his blow did not lang strong.
Therefore, Without looking at
Giesjg, Barney stayed down and took
the count for six.
® ® ®
By that time Gregg was able to see
a few things In front of blm. He

To everyone who understands and ]
lik»s straight rules, the go was un
doubtedly the best ever seen in Spo
kane, both from a lighting standpoint
ami the admirable way in which the
men handled themselves.
But there are a whole lot of people
attending the contest who, having
been accustomed to the long range
fighting with clean breaks, do not get
down to the tine work of straight
rules, protection on the breakaway
nnd one arm free hitting. For this
reason a contest with clean breaks Is
more popular in Spokane.
® ® ®
Yet with two such men as Mullin
and Oregg a fight with clean breaks
would be most unsatisfactory.
Neither man can really fight that way
and stand any chance of getting
through without falling foul of the
referee.
Either man would be likely to lose
a clean break fight on a foul as
neither is heady enough to hold back
on a breakaway or In getting into a
clinch. For this reason it would be
unwise to match the pair for clean
breaks, must as some of their ad
mirers are insisting upon that style
for any future match.
® ® ®
There was some extra fine work
during the mlxups and some unusual
ly heavy body punching, but to the
crowd the pulling and hauling nnd
wrestling and maneuvering to break
away without getting hit looked as
if the men were soldiering, when, in
BEFORE THE GREAT
BATTLE OF MOKDEN
By Will H. Brill.
Newspaper Enterprise Association.
Field Headquarters H. I. J. M.
Second Army, Feb. 27. —Everything
looks now ns If the big battle was
only a question of hours. This morn
ing the staff sent us word that Oku'g
army is in battle formation and every
indication points to an almist im
mediate clash between the two
armies.
It doesn't require an expert to
guess that tills fight when it begins
will be the biggest of the war, and
that means the biggest the world has
ever seen. The Japanese never tell
the numbers of their armies, but it
is a safe guess that at present there
are very close to half a million men
ready to attack when Oyama Shall
give the word. It Is also probable
that the opposing force is practically
ns large. That means that there will
be a million men engaged in the
battle.
No such armies ever faced each
other before and never before were
so many Runs employed. It is Im
possible to tell how many guns the
Japanese have, but their main line
extends over tiO miles and there is
little doubt that there are at least a
thousand held guns in position to be
gin the bombardment when it shall
be ordered.
Rut the field guns are not all that
the Japanese have. There nre scores
of much larger guns, guns of 4.8
inch and 0 Inch caliber, and hundreds
of howitzers. I have myseslf seen
more than 50 "baby" howitzers, little
tilings that the men draw on small
carts. They are less than three feet
long and their range is short, but
they throw 6 inch shells and when
placed on the front line Will make
things very Interesting In the Rus
sian trenches.
In addition to the baby howitzers
there are scores of ordinary field
howitzers! big, short, fat guns which
throw ii inch shells and throw them
a very long distance. These guns
were used with much effect at the
battle of the Sha Ho and were equally
effective at Port Arthur. In addition
to their own guns, tlie Japanese have
a number of these howitzers which
the Russians left at various places
between here and Port Arthur, and
these will help swell the chorus when
the time comes.
But the tiling which will surprise
the world, as well as the Russians,
will he the presence of the big 11.2
Inch siege guns which the Japanese
will use In the coming battle. There
were a number of these enormous
guns usead at Port Arthur and as
soon as that fortress fell these guns
were dismounted and shipped north.
Today they are In position facing tlie
Russian Hies nnd when the time
COinea they will begin to blaze away.
Guns of Great Weight.
It takes -00 men to drag one of the
guns, without the mount, along the
best of roads. In mounting them it
is necessary to fix the carriage of
concrete seven or eight foet deep.
The projectile, weighs 4XO pounds and
it is all four men can do to carry It.
The range of the gun is about 8000
yards and when the shell explodes on
striking it digs a hole In the ground
that you could put a two-horse hack
in. I would like to be somewhere,
out of range of tlie pieces, where I
could see the first of those big shells
land in the Russian trenches 1 have
an Idea it will create something of
a sin prise party.
This Is the Hist time In the history
of warfare that nuns of this size have
been used In the field. In fact, on
only a few occasions have they been
used even In sieges. Think of a gun
which will throw for four and a hnlf
miles a sort-pnund shell and then
break it into n couple of hundred
pieces. It is something of a gun.
In addition to their own guns, the
Japanese have n large number of
guns which they captured from the
Russians. Among them ate a number
of 4.? and 6 inch guns whioh are

reality, they were doing; harder worft

As a matter of fact it was silt

work being done thatelthe r mau went
the full 20 rounds. :i

But nt the end of the twentieth
round both men were strong, and
neither had been punished to any
appreciable extent. Gregg had his
Cheek cut and Harney's lips were cut
slightly. Gregg came up strong to
ward the close, but, although both
men landed repeatedly and With light
ning blows. It was with short arm
punches which could not bring the
money.
When-the pair would get apart and
start in the punches came hard, but
it was only a punch at a time, as
both Jumped into tlie clinches and cut
off whatever chances they might have
had to swing in effective blows.

mounted for field uses and which can
be moved about almost as easily, but
of course not so quickly, as the ordi
nary field guns. It is probable thnt
not less than 100 Russian guns will
be usesd by the Japanese in the com
ing tight.
Waiting for the Bombardment.
A large number of machine, guns
will also be usesd. Ip to tliis time
tlie Japanese have made but little use
of these guns, except with their cav
alry on the flanks of the army, but
no wthoy have scores of them scat
tered along the whole line. Tliey are
all, at least all I have seen, the latest
pattern of the Maxim automatic gun,
which, once the trigger is pulled, keep
on firing as long as the cartridges
are fed in, while the man at the
handle can sweep a zone of almost
ISO degrees. They are nasty affairs
and can mow down whole lines of
men as a well directed rofle shot can
drop a single man.
We are now patiently waiting for
the big bombardment to begin. The
guns are ready nnd the men are
ready; they are only waiting for the
word from tlie general to turn the
whole front Into a death-dealing hell
of shot nnd shell of every descrip
tion. It may be that the Russians
can stand against this terrible fire
when it begins—but if they do they
will be something a little more than
human. I don't think they will. By
the time this letter is printed you
will know whether they did or not.
