ABOUT JACK JOHNSON.
THE Montreal Herald of Jan.
29.
has
it
that .lack Johnson,
former
heavy-weight
pugilistic
champion
of
the
world
has*
made
up his mind to fight Jack
Dempsey
before the latter
meets
Georges
“arpen-
tier,
the
Franch
pugilist
who
recently
deteated
Joe Beckett,
the English holder
of the European
title. Johnsoa
plans
to
return
to the United
State
at once —this
news
was cabled from Mexico on
the day
of its publication——to
face
charges
pend-
ing against
him in Chicago.
He
is
confi-
dent that he can arrange
legal difficulties
in time before D>mpsey’s
encounter
with
Carpentier,
and he asserts
that the form-
er
must
meet
him before
he
claims
the
wvorld’s championship.
It
is
said
that
Johnson
would go to
New
Yovk
by
the
way of Havana,
arranging
through
the
American Embassy
here for
the
Federal
agents
from Mr.
Clyne’s
office
to
meet
bim in New York. This step
was for
the
purpose
of avoiding comphications.
John-
son requested
Mr. Clyne to give him thir-
ty-six hours of leeway
after
he
arrived
in Chicagoso
that he might secure
bonds-
men and make other
legal preparations.
Johnson
asserted
yesterday
that
he
weighed
218
pounds,
but
would
go
into training
immediateley
after reach-
ing
the
United
States
and
would
be
able
to
easily
make
his
okl fighting
weight.
During
the
eight
years
that
Johnson
has
been
out
of
the
United
States
he
has
visited
virtually
every
country
in
the
Old
World
and
South America.—Dominica
Guardian.
MARRIAGE SUPERSTITIONS
In some
parts of
Germany
the
dutics
of the
bridesmnids
are tinged
with
su-
perstition.
It is
one of
their
duties
on
the morning of the marriage
day to carry
to the
bride
a myrtle wreata,
for which
they
had
subscribed
on
the
previous
evening.
This they place
on her head,and
at night
remove
it, when it is placed
in
the
bride’s hand,
ske
being at the
time
blindfolded.
The bridesmaids
then
dance
round her,
while she endeavors
to place
the
wreath
on
one of their heads.
Who-
ever
is fortunate
enough
to be
thus
de-
corated will, it is believed,
be
a wif& be-
fore
another
yeair
has
passed.
In
re-
moving the
bridal wreath
and veil,
the
bridemaids
are
careful
to
thiow
away
every pin, or the bride will he overtaken
by misfortun¢;
while any unwary brides-
maid
who
retains
one will
lessen
her
chances
of marriage— Everyday
Life.

a quite important relation.to
