FIGHTING FOR MONEY.
Many moons back we had some
spicy remarks to make on the cheese
fight champions of today. Not one
word of those remarks is retracted.
On the other hand, this is a sequel,
or a second volume. Never in the
history of the prize ring were there
such a passel of money diggers and
gold snatchers as are now plying
their tangoing way through the fight
clubs of the country. And the worst
part of it is, all of them frankly ad
mit, and without blushing, that all
they care for is the coin. They care
naught for the jeers, and only a lit
tle more for cheers, the latter be
ing slightly favored because they
may mean that the next purse will
be larger than the last one.
Willie Ritchie admits that he does
n’t care a hang for the champion
ship except that not having the title
would mean smaller purses. It’s the
same with McFarland, Gibbons, Kil
bane and Coulon. Ritchie, clever and
game little fighter that he is, would
rather lose a leg or an eye than his
title, if lie could continue to grab
the gold with the title and minus
the limb or optic.
It wasn’t like that in the olden
days. Fighters of the old school,
fought for one or all of three rea
sons—glory, revenge or a living. And
the least of these in the mind of the.
old fighter, was the money, so long
as he had enough to keep the wolf
from the door and buy for followers.
Of course, this thrift business is
great stuff. Far be it from us to
knock the habit of saving; but pray,
also deliver us from the cheese camp
who tangoes instead of fights, and
doesn’t care a hang for the public
so long as the purses are big.
SEEMS LIKE TAKING BIG
CHANCES.
From Kanawha, which is in West
Virginia, there comes a paper with
The Citizen for name, and from a
recent issue there could be clipped,
and was, a “want ad.” which sug
gests that in Kanawha, W. Va„ there
are still people who have not been
made cynical or distrustful of their
iknd either by experience or teach
ing—people whose consciences fixe
so clear that they calmly and con
fidently do what in most wheres else
would be called “advertising for trou
ble,” and for trouble of the moat
serious sort. Anyhow, here is the
evidence:
WANTED—Young married cou
ple want nice, quiet young man
who doesn’t drink to take room
and board; prefer one who would
stay in occasionally at night as
protection when husband is away.
Address A. L. M., care Citizen.
Whoever can should hope as con
fidently as possible that the arrange
ment proposed may meet the ami
able expectations of those who evolv
ed it. Yet the inclination to warn
the young couple that they’d better
not is lamentably strong, even when
one remembers the nobility of moun
taineers. ;
Advertising! The thoughtful man
thinks ahead. The prudent man pro
fits by his ability to forecast the fu
ture as well as to scrutinize the pres
ent. One *of the most prominent ad
vertisers in the country says he makes
it a rule to increase his advertising
. appropriation whenever business
slackens and he doubles and trebles
it in times of severe business depres
sion. This is his logical conclusion:
“The new customers that I get when
times are hard, I always keep wh^n
times become good. They come to
me largely from those who lose them
because they fail to continue, their
publicity campaigns. A business de
pression in this country never lasts
long and it is always seed-time for
me. The harvest follows when pros
perity returns.” It is a wise man who
knows his own business better than
the other man does.—Ex.

Why Osteopathy is Not Massage
First: Because the lesser cannot
include the greater. Osteopathy is
both a science and an art. As a
science it includes the broad sciences
of Biology, Anatomy, Physiology and
Pathology. Its scope and its thera
peutics, while independent and orig
inal, are coextensive with the field
known as medical and surgical. Mass
age is nothing of the sort.
Second: Because, as an art, osteo
pathy is wider in its application than
either medicine or surgery singly,
treating with conspicuous success a
wide range of cases in both fields.
It does not require less intelligence and
scientific attainment to represent os
teopathy properly than either medi
cine or surgery. Massage is not per
mitted to assume responsibility for
the full care of disease except under
a physician’s direction. The osteo
path by contrast is himself a physi
cian ,i
Third: Because, insofar as their
work is parallel—that is, where they
attempt to accomplish similar things
—they work by entirely different
principles and with a.technique en
tirely dissimilar. Osteopathy frees
up pressure on blood vessels and
nerves by adjusting displacements of
bone, cartilage, ligament, tendon, fas
cia or muscle wherever it is found,
and by relaxing contractures of mus
cle and ligaments wherever existent,
whether these be due to prior dis
placement, congestion hs from taking
cold, over-work of the nerves, or yet
other causes. Finally, in order to
stimulate circulation after such ob
structions are removed, osteopathy
does net rub or apply pressure over
the veins, but manipulates the ner
vous system through its various cen
ters, either to stimulate or inhibit
energy, so that the vasomotor ap
paratus may bring about the desir
ed action in a physiological manner
—that is, by increasing heart action
and opening up the channels of cir
culation. Massage deals with an ef
fect; osteopathy concerns itself pri
marily with causes.
Fourth: Osteopathy does not con
sist of rules of action; its technique
is not mastered by mere imitation,:
and it is a matter of common remark
that no. two osteopaths treat the same
cape in exactly the same way. Its
practitioners are taught-to. reason out
each case from the conditions exist
ing and to af>ply principles of aor
rection, adjustment and normalization
in the most common sense way.

FIND RING LOST 19 YEARS.
Wedding Emblem Diecovered by
Daughter Buried In Ground.
New Orleans.; Nineteen years ago
Mrs. L. A. A. Gaul shook her wedding
ring oiT her finger while cleaning lea
louvbs out of n teapot on the rear
porch of her home. The little hand of
gold, which her husband hml placed !
on her linger live years before, fell
out in tlie grass, and search by a dozen
neighbors and by Mr. and Mrs. Gaal
for hours failed to reveal a trace of it. i
A few afternoons ago it was found,
at the very spot lost, by a daughter.
Miss Viola, who wus but three weeks
old vflipii tlie ring disappeared in the j
weeds.
"It's now treasured beyoDd anything i
in the world." said Mr. Gaal. with the
happiness of a child over a new toy.
"The ring is just os pretty und shiny
as it ever was. Its long slumber in
the ground has not hurt it a bit.
“My daughter was digging arti
chokes when she turned up. the ring
with a spadeful of dirt. She brought
it to me. and I was a proud man to
slip it on to the third finger of my
wife's left hand for the second rime."

Puris.—M^le. Lecatix. who has for
seventy-five years been living in the
environs of Paris and in perfectly
good health, has remained abed for j
fifty-live years. The reason is un
known. Some say it is hypochondria,
others assign love affairs as the cause;
hut. be that us it may. in 1868 she
made her decision.
A caller Investigating the case was
shown into a wiiite room containing a
bed in a wooden alcove closed by
white curtains like a sepulcher.
The family objected to the visit.
Baying that she was in bad bumor. and
her authoritative voice, strong and
healthy, gave evidence of the fact.
She then ordered dinner—radishes,
mutton and black coffee.
Several doctors who have visited her ;
report that her digestiou is ndmirable
Her limbs are only slightly feeble
from disuse.
