He fuyjt he cannot nee how Johnson can refuse litem if he really wants to fight. Burns would like It to be a fight to a finish, but It is not likely that the authori ties would allow any contest going twenty or twenty-five rounds. If a fight is ar ranged it la expected that it will be at Newcastle or one of the Lancashire cities, where a big attendance would he a cer tainty. Burns is taking things quietly at present, doing just enough wont (o keep him in condition.

Feb. 16 Speclal ) Superintendent O'Brien of the stste fisher ies at South Bend haa rec.ntly published in a local paper a defense of the German carp. He claims that the general impres sion that carp eat the young fiah of o.her varieties is entirely erroneous. OLrp ftel almost entirely opon vegetable matter and almost wholly osf the bottom of stresms and lakes, and like all sucker-mouth fish destroy large quantlt.es of apawn. They also root up the button) and roll th water, and In this way smother large quantities pf egtfs. They also destroy uioss aud ether flsnt life on which young gam fish feed. But Commlsntoner O Hrlea dor pot believe they deserve all th condemnation that ha been heaped Opon them Much of th decline In game fish found in many of our streams ts due not so much to the presence of the carp aa th fsct that these stream hv become dark and muddy thmush the constant cultivation of the land adjoining th stresms. In states where cnmmeri-ml fishing Is permitted th carp Is caught In large numlers and la of much commercial value. In 1M0 the catch of carp In Illinois rivers was worth, according to government reporte, the sum of SH9.98U. In the same year the carp catch In Iake Erie netted the fishermen SM.tno and In Pennsylvania over IJs.OOO worth were taken.

Hla success was so phenomenal as to causa unlveisal comment both by ths pub lic and the press. There must be a reason tor this. Here Is the reason given In his own words by Mr. Cooper when in terviewed on the subject. He said: "Tha Immense numbers of people who are calling on me here In Boston la not unusual. I have had th ssme experience for the past two years wherever I have gone. The reason is simple on. It Is because my medicine puts the stomach In good condition. This does not sound unusual, but It Is fact th key to health. The stomach la tha very foundation of life, t attribute M per cent of ail sickness di rectly to the'stomach. , "Neither, animals nor men can remain well with a poor digestive apparatus. Few can be sick with a digestion In perfect condition. As a matter of fact, most men and women todsy ar half-alck. It Is be cause too much food and too lit tie exer cise have gradually forced the stomach Into a half-sick condition. My medicine gets the stomach back where It was; and that la all that Is necessary." Among Boaton people who are staunch believers In Mr. Cooper's theory, is Mr. Prank V.
