Call early and get your pick. I PL ATT The Little Store. . Someone with a passion for genuine antique scandals has been poking into the private f lives of classical English . writers and, finds among them a dis tressing proportion of celibates and of unhappily mated persons, says a writ er in Success Magazine. For the bene fit, of book-loving gossips he "has pre pared a list of the foremost British' authors . with a short description of their domestic relation s. ; The list is' so fuli of matrimonial wrecks that the compiler is forced to wonder whether cheesemongers, stock brokers and the rest of us have as poor a chance at do mestic happiness as poets and . playr wrights. No fewer than 25 out of 68 well known authors never were married at all. A number, including Milton, Bun yan, Southey and Hazlitt, made sev eral matrimonial ventures. Of the rest, Shakespeare, Dryden, Addison, i tiq nrp thp most notable of a loner list ! Why should the production of litera ti ture be apparently so incompatible with a happy domestic life? Are lit erary men less capable than lawyers and plumbers of choosing congenial mates? The truth, seems to be that the writer, husband is at nome ,so mjich of -the time, that he becomes as familiar, an: . object. there; as the old. cane-bQttoin.ed chair.

That Jack Johnson is a fit specimen or a championship heavyweight fight s admitted, but there has been and s still great doubt expressed : regard ing Jamesf J.( Jeffries. Many feel that effries "can not come back." Jeffries 3 a mystery. . The Chicago : Tribune, n an attempt to get at the real con- dition of the white man, had him agree to undergo a close examination by Dr. C. W. Piper, of Englewood: The doctor, found Jeffries, to be sur prisingly fine. Here is what he has to ay: "A gorilla man of the stone ags brought back to the flesh ! a reincar nation of a mighty Berserker; or a medieval mountaineer of the Atlas re gion, birthplace-, of the strongest men any one of these might envy the huge frame and mountainous muscles of the Jeffries who passed the ordeals af science yesterday. "I have seen many athletes and; have examined a number, but never before has such a perfect, symmetrical physique been presented for scientific examination, at least to my knowledge Indeed the only figure in classic art even that would compare favorably with Jeffries in sheer exposition of power is the Farnesi Hercules. BUi these are generalities. This js; what the examination' "'indicated: Heart in perfect condition lung power tremen dous; circulation i good; absolutely n, indication of 'muscle degeneracy ; ner Votis system in excellent order; no en largement of kidney; no sign ot Bright' s disease, the bane of many big liien; 'no : disorders that will 'affect stamina; one fault, right arm crooked at elbow as result of injury received in a ball game. "When Jeffries stripped in a room at the Chicago Athletic Association, 1 first measured him, . using a steel tape in order to obtain the correct dimen sions. I then suggested that he step on the scales, but the big boy laugh-f ingly declined, with the remark it would not be fair to his friends in the East, who had tried in vain to dis cover his exact weight. He claimed his poundage was not more than 23S pounds, but I fear he was joking, as" l saquld say he weighed at least 250 pounds.
