C. expects a big crowd of fans at the ringside tomorrow night for the Eastern debut of Joe Rivers, the Mexican fighter who has been wading through the lightweight ranks in the South and on the coast in his efforts to reach the championship. Leach Cross, the fighting denjtist, has been engaged by the club to try out. the Mexican in a ten-round bout. The Man of Leisure. Most of our rich men work very hard not always because they want to. but in many instances because they have to. The husbandry of a big estate in itself may be a task for the whole of the time and thought, not of one man, but of several. As a general thing it Is fair to say that our only man of leisure is the tramp. The social pariah, the mutineer against the rule of work, is the only one who can be sure of a I care free, sybaritic existence, and even I be lives in constant danger of rock salt from the farmer's gun or the onslaught ! of the watchdog around the corner as the hobo knocks at the kitchen door ! or pauses at the water trough to drink. The poor tramp Is certainly n more frequent social phenomenon than the rich one. Philadelphia Ledger. The Earl and the Angler. One of the earls of Minto had a kindly nature. One day a Hawick angler was throwing his line on the river near Minto when a tall gentleman came up to him and inquired what kind of sport he was having. The fisher replied that it was not very good and that he co'ild do better if he were at the other side of the water, adding. "I 11 gi'e ye sixpence if ye'U carry me across." The bargain was struck, ai.d the gentleman, getting the angler on his back, carried him through the water to the other side. True to his promise, the angler produced the sixpence, which he proffered to the strauger. who. however, smiled and remarked. "Give it to the first beggar you meet and tell htm it is a present from the Earl of Minto." Why She Worried. "Bur, mother, why do you object to my being pleasant to the young men? Yon can't hope to keep me with you alwavs, you know. One of them will take me away from you some day." j "Take you away from me? Well, If j tlwt happens 1 shall not complain. It ; is the certainty that none of the young men who bave been coming here so far would take you away that has worried both your father and me." Chicago Record-Herald. Only Wanted the Chance.

MALPRACTICE SUIT; DEMAND IS $20,0C0 (Palladium Special) RUSHVILLE, Ind., Jan. 7 In two different suits combined damages of $20,000, alleging malpractice, Carlton Chaney and son Harold, 15 years old, brought action in the Circuit Court yesterday against Drs. John T. Paxton and Hugh H. Elliott. The complaint alleges that the boy's leg, which was broken in a fall, was set in such a manner as never to heal and states

: that the two physicians cared for him in a negligent manner. Carlton Chaney asks $5,000 and the boy, through his father, demands $15,000. SAVED BY A SONG. When Santley and His Party Faced Death In Mexico. Few people are aware that on one occasion a timely song saved Sir Charles Santley's life. The famous baritone was one of a party traveling under military escort through a bandit infested region in Mexico when the guards suddenly bolted, leaving the travelers to the mercy of a band of booty hunters. These desperadoes, finding the spoil less valuable than they expected, decided to slay their captives and fare forth on another foray. An inspiration came to Santley. "Surrounded by friends and foes, he commenced an aria and sang in his own Inimitable way. As the notes rippled forth on the clear mountain air the bandits' faces lighted up with pleasure, and at the finish the leader expressed his delight and asked the sonor to sing again. Santley saw his chance and seized it. He inquired if he might sing for the liberty of the little party, and a reluctant consent was given. For several hours during that never to be forgotten night he enthralled his captors with a generous program of exquisite melodies. The next day the bandits tendered payment by taking the whole party down the mountain side and setting them free. Notwithstanding later triumphs Sir Charlis Santley never surpassed that one. London Graphic. Helpful Anyhow. They were discussing an absentee, and not all their remarks were favorable. One. however, spoke in his de fense. "Whatever his failings may be." he said, "he thinks of more little ways of being helpful than any other person I know. One day I was with him at a ferryhouse where a ciowd was waiting for the boat. Suddenly he left me and walked toward a woman who was struggling with a three-year-old and a number of parcels. Our friend raised his hat. spoke to the woman, and then I saw him grapple her parcels. Soon be returned to my side, and I asked him. 'What was it?' Oh. nothing. he said carelessly. 'She had too many parcels. I put a rubber band j around them and bunched them into I one." 1 was disgusted with myself that j I had not thought of that simple little expedient for helping the woman, and ever since that time I have had much respect for our friend, although I can't indorse all of his ways."

DUTY ON HIS TOBACCO.

The Baron Evaded Paying It, and Yet He Wasn't Happy. Dr. Wekerle. Hungarian minister of finance, had a country seat at Pilis, near Budapest, where he was in the habit of spending his Sundays. His only piece of luggage on these occasions consisted of a small hand bag, which never contained anything but the regulation bottle, four handkerchiefs and a traveling cap. Returning one Monday to the capital, the minister met a friend, a gentleman named Von Fischer, who was carrying a bag exactly the counterpart of his excellency's valise. Baron von Fischer smiled a thoughtful smile as he noticed the similarity of the bags and whispered to the minister: "My bug is filled with smuggled Turkish tobacco. You will he" good enough to shield me against the custom house spies, I hope." The minister looked serious. "I will do nothing of the kind." he said, and when the two gentlemen arrived at the Pest depot the minister beckoned to a custom house official and said, "My friend desires to pay duty on a lot of Turkish tobacco he has in hi bag." "His excellency is joking," cried the baron, who meanwhile had changed bags with the minister. "See. I have no contraband articles about me," and he opened the bag in proof of what he said. The minister of finance looked perplexed for a moment, then he resolutely grabbed his friend's bag and said to the ofHcia!: "Well, assess mo for the tobacco, but be quick about it. 1 have no time to lose." The official acted on the suggestion, and the minister paid 3 florins and 50 pfennigs into the treasury of his own department. Then he Jumped into the carriage and drove off, shouting out his thanks to the baron for his present of twenty pounds of excellent tobacco. Argonaut. Quite English. George Broadhurst tells of an English shopkeeper, the soul of amiability. "You are an American, sir, are you not?" he asked. "Yes." said Mr. Broadhurst to save lengthy explnnaUons. "Now, I have a conundrum thut I always save for the Americans, because they say they are so deuced clever. When you put a billiard ball on the table, what is the first thing it does?" "Why, I don't know." said Mr. Broadhurst uncertainly. "Perhaps it waits for its cue." "Ah. that's very clever, very clever," countered the little Englishman, "but not so good aa the real answer. The first thing it does is to look round." Unintentional Frankness. The eldest sons of British peers bear what are known as "courtesy" titles when the head of the house has two or three and can spare an inferior one to his son. Earl Winterton, a young English politician, has a keen sense of humor and can enjoy a joke on himself. He likes to tell the following: Before succeeding to the earldom he was known as Lord Turnour, under which name he figured in some noisy scenes in the house. A few months after his father's death he was thus addressed at dinner by a fellow guest: "I ought to know you, but 1 can't recall your name." "Oh, I am Earl Winterton," was the reply. "Of course, of course." said the other. "Why, I have been confounding you all the evening with that ass Turnour!" A High Authority. Ctirran, the famous Irish advocate, was one day engaged in a case in which he had as junior a remarkably tall and slender barrister who had originally intended to take holy orders. On the judge observing that the case under discussion involved a question A HIGH AUTHOEITY BEHIND ME. of ecclesiastical law, Ctirran said. "1 refer your lordship to a high authority behind me. who was once intended for the church, though in my opinion he is fitter for the steeDl"'
