A MAN WITHOUT A COUNTRY.

Jack Johnson, negro pugilist, and former heavyweight champion, is truly a man without a country. Jack was forced to flee from the United States a few years ago to escape Mann act charges. The negro went to Spain where he was a public idol for a time, but his numerous escapades in that country caused the government to sour on him and ’he w# ordered to hunt a new home. France, England and Germany wanted none of his kind so, as a last resort, he turned to Mexico where bad morals do not injure one’s standing. But it seems that Mexico, as bad as she is, can’t put up with Johnson, and he has just been ordered to leave that country. U. S. officials are waiting for him at the border and he probably will"be in the clutches of the U. S. court within a few days.
