are aware that ever since the time that the
Acme Club got the sanction OF the Amatr ur
Athletic Union to hold championship events In
Oakland there has been frosty feeling exist
Ing between 1t and the Olympics.
The latter have failed 10 support any OF the
games given by the AGNES, ana as the Oak
landers did mol hgye he material 10 carry out
successful entertainments without the assist
ance of the Olympic and Reliance clubs the
championship events booked by the Acme had
10 he postponed owing 10 lack OF entries.
The San Francisco Athletid Club has also a
grievance against the Olympic, which will be
heard and acted upon.
The new consti utIon that was adopted by
the Pacific Association, and which In all proba-
biIity has been approved of by the A. A. o.,
VIII form the most important matter TO be dis
eussed by the board.
One of the changes made in the old law is
that the president of the Pacific Association,
Instead OF representing tile club OF which he is
a member will simply preside as an officer and
decide anv question that may arise from the re.
suit of tie vote. Another and very important
change in The constitution reads that no athlete
representing an unattached club can compete
in any games held under the auspices of the
Pacific Association OF the A. A. u, and
furthermore any member of a club which is a
representative of the association cannot COM
pete at any amateur meeting Wi hour having
the sanction of the association. The new form
of athletic government is very strict and The
general opinion Is that il will greatly assist to
weed from the amateur ranks athle es who
have made a practice of competing in picnic
games.

and showed that he was somewhat OF a tactician

Sergeant Tom Mahoney was In command of

good one, and meets with general satisfaction

A Slight M,sunderstanding.

A well-known brilliant entertainer who lately returned from five years tour in south Pacific seas. has many amusing tales to tell. among which is the following:

 My ole guv'nor died a year ago,' he explained, "and I should like bit O poetry in the paper about him."
 "All right" answered the clerk. Have you brought it with you?"
 No" said the rustic. Cant you fix me up bit?"
 Certainly" replied the clerk. "Our charge for in memoriam' notices is six shilling gs an inch"
 A look of intense amazement passed over the countryman's face.
 Good gracious!' he cried, as he made for the door, II can't afford that-my guv'nor was six feet high. "- Melbourne Argus.

Curiosities of Courace.

There are curious subdivisions both of moral and physical courage. Mar shal Sake, the victor of Phillipsburg and Fontenoy, had an absurd fear of assassination, and n his fortified palace of Chambord kept two constables for the purpose of .scrutinizing every un- known visitor. The duke of Ava got nervous at the mere sight of a dog, and during his residence at Ghent ordered his patrols to shoot every unmuzzled specimen of the obnoxious quadrupeds. There are men whose actions defy the wrath of public opinion, but who turn pale at the thought seeing their names in the local newspaper: and others who advance fearlessly to the brink of a precipice, but shudder at sight of a spi-

THE OLD RAIL FENCE.

The old rail fence with aimless angles
 Curveo round the scented fields of old: Anu Wllo, blown vines in Quaintest tanples bIoomeo there in purple and in gold nno winds went over, cool and sweet, With rivery nipples in the wheat. The white road to tho river knew It.
 The river running wild and feet; caDin-path went winding to 1t,
 With light prints of boys bare fees. And cattle In the woods at morn hoamed by and ntppcd the bending corn. In corners cool the plowman rested
 When rang the welcome bells of noon; Ana there the thrush and partridge nestled Ana sang the mockingbirds of June. And winds were sweet with muscadtnes And blooms were on the melon-vines. There twilight paused in rosy dreaming, And OCT the riot of the rills
 when starlight on the world was streaming Rose the love-song of whippoorwills And with the music and the stars Love met his sweetheart at the bars There, with the evening shadows falling. In cabin door a woman stands; And far and sweet her voice is calling
 And children heed her beckoning hands There. for the weary ones that roam, Twinkle the dreamy lights of home. The corn still waves and vines are clinging The iarks are hid in bending grain, The birds sing, as my heart Is singing,
 Where lonely in the woodland rain The old rail fence-its service o'er- Curves round the blossoming fields no more Yet, there halt my horse and. signing, Above the old rail fence lean The snows upon life's pathway lying
 Have left one living glimpse of green And still, through change of time and art, The old rail fence runs round my heart! Frank L. Stanton, in Atlanta Constitution

 At this, Fred, who had in times past repeatedly scoffed at his fathers ath- letic proclivities, instantly fired up.

He's got more genuine stuff in him than all the rest of us put together, and if it's football that's done it, the sooner that we all go in for the game the bet ter;" and he then proceeded to give a graphic account of the afternoons ex- perience, which caused his father to blow his nose loudly and repeatedly, while his eyes glistened with happy pride, and which sent his mother .7eep- ing in search of the sleepy athlete, who couldn't understand what he had done that was worth making such fuss about.
 A few days later Mir. Bartlett re- ceived a note from his old friend, Will kinson Smalley, which ran somewhat as follows:
 DEAR BA RTLETT: l hear that your Roger is going in for the law, and if so I want him. When he gets through with the law school you can hand him over to me, for he's just the ma terial that I'm on the look out for, and you may well be proud of him.
 He scared me out of years growth the other afternoon at the station. the young ras- cal. but In spite of that. wish you would tell him to come round and take dinner with me some night. for want to talk to him.
 With kind regards to Mrs. Bartlett, believe me, ever your friend.

 When Roger came home the follow ing Saturday his father handed him the note, remarking: "I'm afraid I haven't appreciated your football, old man, but I'm going to do better in fu- ture; and, by the way, Roger, hear that you're to play in the game at Springfield next week; is that sop
 Roger nodded.
 Very well, then" Mr. Bartlett con- tinued, your mother and would Ike to have you get us the best seats that can be bought, for we've set oui hearts upon going to see you make the first touchdown. "-Bost ton Transcript
