JIM JEFFRIES IS
III SPLENDID FORM
If He is Not He Has Fooled Some of the Best Experts on Coast. WHAT CHOYNSKI THINKS
CAMP IS WIOE OPEN TO INQUISITIVE VISITORS, WHO MAY SEE FOR THEMSELVES HOW THE BIG FELLOW IS.

BY ED 8MITH.
San Francisco, May 21. If Jim Jef
fries Is not In the best physical con
dition right now he has fooled some of the best judges of athletic form on the Pacific coast as well as the men In his
N- Immediate camp. But Jeff is not try
- Ing to fool anybody at all as far as his
own form Is concerned, for anybody
who goes to the camp now is welcome
to see and draw their own conclusions
It was with- considerable curiosity
that I approached Joe Choynskt for
a talk about the big fellow. Joe had
then been In the camp for two weeks and looked a bit thin and drawn as a
result of his labors.
"Mighty glad to have a chance to unburden my mind right iiw," Joe started off, when I asked him what he ', thought of the situation as far as
James J. was concerned.
"But there Is not much use of my
talking to you about it. Is there, after you have seen for yourself what he
can do with Armstrong and me. 1 Nothing to Conceal. "First of all let me tell you, as
have told some others, that there
Isn't a .thing about this camp to con
ceal. All Is in the open and free as a church and all are welcome to come in
and look.
. "Many people have come out here
and friends of mine all over the coun
try have come to me to ask if I would five them a confidential opinion of the
big fellow. AH have approached the
subject as If It was a great big secret.
. "It 19 anything but that. There
isn't a thing to conceal. I know all
there is to know, about Jeff and his condition and am willing as be is to have me give It out freely and without
stint to the public.
, "Jeffries has been as much of a re
lation to me as he is to anybody who
comes here. He has strength and stamina, plenty of both to loan if that were possible. He has enough of it right now
to make him ready for a fight and all that he needs is a polishing up of his
speed."
"Do you think that if Jeff is called
upon to make a long fight of it he will
be able to last without wilting?" I ask'
ed the veteran. ... Can Go the Distance.
' "Look over what this fellow has
done in his training and then give me 'one good reason for thinking that he won't." was the eager reply of the
foxy old timer. "Yes, I know that ar
gument about the 'real fight' and all
that, how a man is apt to collapse when the real strain comes. Let me
ask1 you a Question. Isn't the other fellow Just as apt to wilt under the strain as Jeffries, isn't he carrying just as much weight on his mind? "In my long experience in the ring .1 never have seen a man so absolutely tireless and immune to the ordinary effects of hard work. They keep on citing the many Instance of fighters never coming back after a lay-oft of this length of time. There is some good basis for the arguments. But let me tell you one thing that escapes the average man. I sometimes think Jeffries isn't really human, so tremeni , ' dous Is his capacity for work. That's what I really think sometimes.
"Johnson may be at this man but
for the life of me I don't see how he i Is going to da it." - .
Choynskl did not find sa much to do
In the Jeffries camp as he had anticl
rated. The, big fellow does not take
orders from, anybody. He knows what he needs to fit himsef for the fight and
jnaps out we nauy rouune nimseu,
Making no plans from day to day, or
until such a time as he finds out how he Is feeling, the state of weather,
etc. . ' .

THE RED DAB OF DEATH.
Tragic Mark on the Steel Skeleton of ' the Skyscraper. "See that big blob of scarlet paint?" said the engineer as be pointed to a girder nigh up in the skeleton of the new skyscraper. That red spot means that one or the men working on the building . was killed by the girder sweeping him off the structure while being put in position." The visitor craned his neck and saw a rough patch, of vermilion paiut on one of the floor girders up on the sixteenth story. "It must be a dangerous life." be said to bis engineering friend. -Tes. Those men up there are working under the chance of Instant death at any moment. They'll walk along the topmost girder. 300 feet above the sidewalk a little path of slippery iron five Inches wide and will lean out
ward against the wind. You or I couldn't do it for a second. "Now and again there's an accident. A chap slips. A worker gets hit by a
swinging girder and flung off. Another man takes an incautious step and falls bff into eternity. The men working near by do their best to get at him if he manages to grab the girder he's falling from, and there are some swift and reckless races with death to get to their comrade at any cost In the five or ten seconds allowed them while strong fingers are sliding away from a slippery beam flange, . If the worst
happens and the man falls In spite of their efforts, then they apply the dab of red paint, and the Ironworkers call It a day. They don't speak much of the man that Is gone, as a rule. He's soon forgotten. The men consider it fate. "You'd think, by-the way," went on the engineer, "that the higher up these men worked the more careful they'd become. They aren't particularly careful, but they do guard against the hypnotism of height. One of the men working on a high girder gets paralyzed now and again by a sudden fear that holds him motionless and still on his Iron beam. "The men look out for this sort of thing, and the remedy is to distract his attention by a rough blow on the
back or in some cases by exciting him to anger through any means In their power. When the man gets fighting mad be Is freed from the paralysis of terror or whatever you may choose to call It He gets up from his girder to make a rush for the other fellow to do him up. and the moment he Is safe be Is restrained by the other men. "Whenever you see a skyscraper framework." concluded the engineer, "each dab of scarlet paint on the Iron means that some man has come to his death. Every skyscraper and every bridge Is the monument to some little
group of unknown workers, laboring
at dizzy heights and dallying with and
den death as part of their day's wort.'

A Poverty Stricken Queen. Partly owing to the fact .that she
was wedded to an avaricious king and
partly because she was generous with the little money allowed her Eliza
beth of York, queen of Henry VII.. spent but a small amount for dress.
She was very often In debt, and the
sums sne spent were naicuiousiy small. 20 shillings ($5) being the greatest amount expended at any one time.
Her gowns were mended and turned, and new waists were made for them.
as Is shown by the record of bills paid to her tailor. These bills prove that
she wore her clothes for a long time, for her gowns were obliged to be newly hemmed, and also that, though a
princess of the great house of Plan-
tagenet. she wore shoes costing but 24 cents, which were decorated with tin
buckles! Made It Clear. A senator, speaking of the advantages of clearness of statement, told a story about a restaurant ro illustrate his meaning. He said: "This restaurant advertised a dinner, but not in the loose way many other restaurants advertise dinner as between certain hours, whether there would be enough dinner to last between those hours or not. No. The man who runs that restaurant has a proper knowledge of his responsibilities and of the exact use of the language. He advertised. 'Chicken pie, 25 cents; from 12:30 until gone.'
