Influence of the Classic. One ought to know the intellectual kings of the human race Job, Solomon. Aeschylus, Plato.' Cervantes, Eacon, Montaigne, Shakespeare, Swift, Goethe, Burns. The flrat rank minds that for centuries have been able to impress the generations with their universal appeal are all choice, sane spirits, able to rescue one from the sway of the sensational and ephemeral. Excellent are the wlnnowings of time. "Whenever I am urged to read a new book." says the sage, "I re-read an old one." Moreover, acquaintance with the very best In thought and literature helps one Justly to rate the things that people run after, and to Ignore the "Loiere: Lo there:" of the false prophets. Edward A.

BOY SKATER, BESTS STARS OF WEST

Youth Captures Two-Mile Handicap and Half Mile Open Race in S leipner Derby.

Robert McLean, the phenomenal 17-year-old skater from the Douglas Park Skating club, proved conclusively yesterday that he is about the speediest ice flyer in the west, when he beat Mich veterans as Charlie Fisher. Harry Kaad. Harry Halvorsen and Lee Jensen in ,the annual New Year's Ice Derby, given by he Sleipner Athletic club at Humboldt park. The youngster competed in the wo principal events and took first prize in each. In the half mile class A race, he won by fifty yards in 1:29 3-5. which is fast time considering the fierce gale which handicapped the skat ers at the start and finish. i Fisher, wearing the colors of the Illinois A. C, finished a poor second, and W. E. Gunderson of the same club, third. McLean followed this performance by beating a fast field in the two-mile handicap for the Keane cup. He was given a handicap of 50 yards, while Kisher and Kaad, whom w i-,-. a'.renrty beaten, were placed at scratch. This caused a protest, but as th'e handicaps TWO WHY THSRTEENS BRINGJOHNSONWOES r Champion Grows Suspicious of Phone Douglas 1313; Tries For 711. Jack Johnson is through tempting fate.

yards, thereby proving the handicap unnecessary, inasmuch as Kaad and Fisher failed even to get in the money. Lee Jensen, with 150 yards, captured second place, and Erling Giaver, with 250 yards, was third. Harry Kaad brought cheers from his admirers In the special one-mile race for the Western Skating Association trophy by beating Lee Jensen and C harlie Fisher in the closest finish of the day. Mclean did not compete in this event, being satisfied with the prizes already accumulated. Adolph Anderson, former western champion, who was entered in all of the feature events, failed to compete, claiming an injury. in the half mile race for girls Mabel Bohle won without much effort. Minnie Bitter finished second and Jeannette Lunde third.

Johnson was back atjils south side home yesterday and issued an emphatic denial of the report that he had left his mother and other relatives owing to their objection to his white wife. He stated that both he and his wife would -be found at the Johnson homestead. 334 4 Wabash avenue, until they depart for California, in two weeks. Jack says he is going west so that he can do a little fast auto driving. The slippery roads here have him scared out. GIRL OF FIFTEEN RIVALS WESTON Dorchester. Mass.. Jan. 3. Long dls-

GAPQN1 KNOCKED OUT

V FLYHH IN Wil Chicago Boxer Bewilder; Fireman Jim Until Pa- - per Jaw Is Reached. Los Angeles. Jan. 3. Tony Caponi, a rrmn with a wall paper jaw and a puzzling defense, was knocked out in the ninth round of his battle with Jim Flynn before the Pacific Athletic club at Vernon yesterday afternoon, after he had outboxed and outfought the fireman, piling up a lead on points that made him look like a sure winner. When the ninth round opened Flynn's nose was bleeding from the continual Jabbing that the Chicago man had administered, and to all appearances Jim's only hope of turning defeat into victory iay in his ability to wear out the small but aggressive man in front of him. Tony withstood the customary first ten second rush and was edging himself in safety toward a neutral corner. Coming from a clinch, Flynn's big right arm swung Into connection as he chopped his big fist flush against Caponi's chin. Down dropped Caponi and as he fell to the canvas, his head hit the floor with a crash. Caponi was too badly hurt to stay down and take advantage of the count. His brown legs bent under him as he staggered into an upright position and his dazed eyes told their own story. Flynn fairly smothered his victim flailing away in blind fashion, the very force of the wild assault sending Ca poni to the floor a second time. OTHElfllGlITS. Albany, N. Y., Jan. 3. Before a large crowd at the Knickerbocker A. C. yes terday afternoon. Cy Smith of West Ho boken and Young Donohue of Boston engaged in a fierce ten round bout in which Smith earned a draw. Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 3. Joe Coster of Brooklyn gave Tommy O'Toole his closest call to a knockout at the Na tional Athletic club yesterday afternoon when he had the Quaker on the floor twice in the third round. The fourth and fifth rounds were Coster's, but in the sixth he tired. O'Toole had recov red from the effects of his early up set, and had Coster hanging on to es cape the fate he almost dealt to O'Toole earlier in the bout. Grover Hayes of Chicago defeated Joe Hirst of Philadelphia. Akron, O., Jan. 3. Buck Crouse of Pittsburg and Paddy Lavin of Buffalo fought twelve rounds here yesterday afternoon to a draw. The ten round preliminary between Red Heltzel of Akron and Ford Longer of Cleveland also was a draw. New York, Jan. 3.
