LET WINTER COME
We are looking forward to winter’s approach. Sew
ard will welcome it with open arms. We wish, however,
the Indian summer will continue yet for some weeks so
that all who desire can get out in the woods for a good
hunt or outing. There will be so many more wholesome
stories to recount throughout the winter mounths. Just a
few more weeks then let oldman winter settle down with
his rip-snortin’ winds, the drizzle and rains, then the snow
and cold. 3lSi
A blow on a shark’s dorsal fin will put it to . flight,
says an Alaskan fisherman. We are going to take his word
for it.
SOUSA ON TOUR AT It
John Philip Sousa, famed bandmaster and “March
King’’, who perhaps has done more to popularize instru
mental music in America than any other man, living or
dead, still wields his baton with masterly skill at the age
of 72. On September 26 he will round out 35 years as the
head of the great band which bears his name.
Mr. Sousa came into national prominence as leader
of the United States Marine band from 1880 to 1892, dur
ing which time he also composed some of the long list of
military marches which are known and played through
out the world. Since leaving the Marines to conduct his
own organization, his success has been remarkable.
Tunney is still the champ due to only one thing, more
brain matter in the old cranium. If he had not used the
old bean in yesterday’s battle with the old “manassa mau
ler” his title would have gone a glimmering. The worst
thing Tunney could have done was to have acquienced to
Dempsey’s frantic appeal to “stand still fight”.
Success or failure in business is caused more by men
tal attitude even than mental capacities.—Walter D. Scott
Let’s tell everybody who comes to Seward “What
Seward has,” and let’s do it so often that they will be
come sold on their own community, and plant the seed
for a greater and a better Seward; then will have been
sown a seed bed of remarkable fertility, and the harvest
will be a good one.
As far as we can see the only fighter -who showed any
improvement since last year was Dempsey. Tunney could
not knock him out but on the other hand went down him
self for a nine-count.
A press dispatch tells of a poor fellow who “died with
out the aid of a doctor,” but, fortunately, few have to
shuffle off without such assistance.
One localite paid his bet last night by rolling the old
peanut around the block.
Another local citizen who bet on Dempsey got so peev
ed when the news came in that his man had lost that he
shouted he could whip Tunney himself.
A $10 bill recently observed in New Orleans bore the
inscription in red ink: “This the last of $50,000, spent on
good liquor, fast women and slow horses in New Orleans.
Wonder what Tunney was thinking about as he was
reclining on the canvas last night back in Chicago?
Tunney got over a million dollars but a few localites
received only a few bucks backing him up.
Who knows how Dempsey’s new nose is today?

IS ELEPHANT CHAMP OF
ALL THE ZOO FIGHTERS
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 23. (/P)—
The elephant is “fight champion” of
the animal kingdom, says C. Emerson
Brown, director of the Philadelphia
Zoological Gardens. A visitor at the
zoo, who viewed the animals from the
sporting angle and insisted upon know
ing which was "champion” brought
forth Brown’s expression of opinion.
" While the gorilla, the lion and the
tigar are all dangerous opponents, Mr.
Brown says, he believes that the or
dinary peaceful pachderm is the most
vicious when roused to fighting pitch
and that he can “lick any one of them.”
