■{liDches, Flynn jerked his head
Inward.
J Will you shake hands Jack?”
Inueried Flynn as he opened the
Ibattie by rushing into a clinch,
retorted the black. Flynn
];ept in close, but Johnson easily
laYoided his attempts and flung a
Istiff ieft to the ear. The cham-
Ipion pushed his man across the
(ring and hooked his left to the
|ear''and a moment later flung a
jsard short arm jab to the jaw.
jjohnson smiled constantly and
fought with great care. Flynn
backed the negro against the
ropes, and the champion reward-
led him with a right^ that cut a
deep gash under his left eye.
Round all Johnson's.
As Fiynn rushed, Johnson sim-
I ply grasped him about the shoui-
I ders and held him at bay, all the
while ^o inning like an ape. The
I champion pecked at the fire
man’s face with light lefts and
as they clinched upyereut twice
heavily with rights to the jaw.
Johnson toyed with Flynn, twice
more shooting right uppercuts to
I the jaw. one of which sent the
nreman's head bobbing. Flynn’s
mouth bled as he took his seat
?er, much worsted during the
ibrea minutes of fighting in this
TO'JBd,
Flynn cut short a remark by
Johnson's by twice hooking his
right to the jaw. This nettled
the black and he cut loose with
short arm uppercuts to the jaw.
Johnson bled slightly from the
mouth as he emerged from a
mid-rinK mix-up, but.Flynn spat
blood in a stream as the cham
pion cut bis mouth with a volley
of rights and lefts.
Flynn rushed in close and was
met with the customary rain of
right and left uppercuts to the
face. At that it seemed as Jf
Johnson was holding himself in
check. He shook Flynn with a
few stomach taps, scarcely trying
to protect his body from Flynn’s
attacks. Johnson constantly
showed his stomach and invited
nim to blaze away which convuls
ed the spectators. Flynn elicit
ed a great cheer when he rushed
Johnson to the ropes and planted
a Solid left to the jaw. The
round ended with Flynn’s face
covered with blot»d. Johnson’s
round.
Johnson turned his head to the
spectators and hardly noticed his
white antagonist. Flynn bang
ed away at the stomach, but this
toe Johnson covered up and
shot four lefts to the face in
Quick succession, varying it with
s ieft uppercut to the jaw. Flynn
at close range, sent half a dozen
P’-nches on the stomach,, but
Johnson only smiled and again
niaie no apparent attempt to
Pi'otect his mid section. John

w^ned him to cease butting,
when he sat down.
Johnson landed fully a dozen
^pid fire nght and lefts to the
Neman’s face, and at the same
tame placed himself in a position
to withstand Flynn’s butting
tactics. ‘'Wait a minute,” cried
Johnson to a spectator who had
shouted for him to end it, Fljmn
bled profusely from the nose as
Johnson beat a tattoo with left

failed to land a glove on the
champion, the' black,s defense
proving impregnable. Johnson
made the blood fairly spurt as
he rained blow ^ter blow on his
bewildered opponent. There
was not a drop of blood on John

Flynn again tried to butt but

seemed loath to end the contest
on a foul, jumped into the ring
and brought the battle to an end.
Referee Smith thereupon gave
the decision to Johnson, John

Frog b Woman's Stomach.
Washington, July- 6.~A live
frog that crawled tnd clawed
and croaked lived for nearly a
year in the stomach of Mrs. L.
V. King, of Deanwood.
After reducing the woman to a
living skeleton the frog was final
ly extricated by physicians of the
Emergency hospital with a large
pump.
The frog is now preserved in
alcohol. It measures, all told,
about seven inches.
As a tadpole it was swallowed
by Mrs. King in well water last
August. Weeks passed before
the woman realized there was
some living creature in her stom
ach. She consulted doctors, but
they laughed at her.
Last jqwring the frog, now
reaching to its full growth, be
gan to climb into her throat and
nearly suffocated her, and several
times she fainted with pain.
Two months ago, Mrs. King
declares, the frog began to croak.
She distinctly heard it many
times and her relatives bclir her
out. She came to the Emergen
cy hospital here and thefrc^ was
pumped out of its hiding place.
The frog lived ten minutes in a
tub of water. It croaked and
sang just like any “regular
frog.” Then it died
According to physicians this is
the firat time on record t^t any
creature of the proportions of
this frog has ever lived in a hu
man stomach for the period of (1
months.

Isaac Danielson, 35 years old,
weight !^0 bounds, is a well,
trained house-husband, but he
will gaze fondly at beer signs
when sent to the comer for a
spool of thread. With 60 cents
in his hand at noon, Danielson
debated with himself and voted
thread an extremely dry subject.
Accordingly he played five-
minute stands at various amuse
ment houses, and wound
up his engagement in Judge
Caverly’s court, “disorderly
conduct” being the bill. It v^as
there he explained his vocation
of “house-husband.”
“My wife is expert millinei,
and can make more money than
I,” he said so she works and !
stay at home and attend to the
house,”
“Do you want him sent to
jail?” asked the judge of the
wife.
“No. ril take him back,”
responded Mrs, Danielsoni “be
cause .1 do not want to do the
housework.”
The prisoner was freed.

Washington, July 2. -Speaker

no further objection to the con

“I want you to tell those peo

Earlier he reiterated the state
ments made for him by formipr

tion floor. ^

Nevertheless the nomination was
bestowed upon Governor Wilson.
“I never scratched a Demo

not change the Democratic habit
now. I am too seasoned a soldier
not to accept cheerfully the for

“I will support Governor Wil
son with whatever power I pos

“I lost the nomination solely
through the vile and malicious
slanders of Colonel William Jen

these slanders were by innuendo
and insinuation but they were no
less deadly for that reason.

Couldn’t Walk !
**I used to be troubled with a weakness peculiar to
women,” writes . Mrs. Anna Jones, of Kenny, 111. "For
nearly a year, I could not walk, without holding my sides.
I tried several different doctors, but I grew worse. Finally,
©ur druggist advised Cardui for my complaint I was so
thin, my weight was 115. Now, I weigh 163, and I am
never sick. I ride horseback as good as ever* i am in
fine health at 52 yeai’S.’"
