HE TOOK EARLIER TRAINS.
Mistake of a Man Living in a Chi.
cago Suburb.


He studies suburban time tables now.
Once upon a time he thought he knew
all there was to know about them, or.
at least, all that it was necessary for
him to know, but he discovered his mis-
take. 1t was his custom, says the Chi
caso Herald. to catch the first Illinois
Central suburban express" train every
morning, and the schedule was changed
without consulting him. Instead OF run
ming every fifteen minutes, the trains
instead of beginning the north buu,.i
trips at 1880 they began shortly after
o'clock He started for the station
after the change and had to run to
catch what he supposed was his train.

for it,"
Then he set the clocks and oil the
ten minutes ahead of the Tine they
showed. But the following morning he
had to run for the train, and he was
mad.
II want breakfast earlier" he said
when he got home at night I'm tired
of having to run for that tram"
But you have II now as soon as the

as he used top he askei.

He doesn't, either" he contradicted.
IF he says he does. you tell him that

The next morning he got TO the sta
ton in time to have "A few minutes to
spare. and while he was waiting The

You seem to be getting here earlier
every morning."

LOST A REGISTRATION DAY.
A Clerical Blunder Leaves Only
Three to Long Island city.

Special to The Evening world)
LONG ISLAND CITY, l.. l., Oct 10
The carelessness of some official con-
nected with the City Clerks Office will
probably result In this city having only
three days for registration instead OF
the four days allowed by law. The
official notice stated that the days OF
registration would be oct g. 10. 20 and
q. Under the law which governs all
cities in the State outside of New York
and Brooklyn the first day of regstra-
ton should have been Sept. q. instead
OF oct &. 1t Is contended that the
Registry Board cannot sit for any pur-
pose on oct. u except to rectify mis-
takes. and that no new names can be
taken.
Unless some provision Of the law can
be found to allow the Board to register
on oct u, there will be only one more
day of registration here. In any event,
there is likely to be a legal contest on
the part of Unsuccessful candidates on
the grounds first, that the board had no
such power. and, second, II they do not
register names that the voters were de-
prlved of their rights

In the bulk OF the Chinese army q ex-

fcer still lonly has to qualify by passing
a standard in archery, in fencing with
swords. and in certain gymnas site exer-
cises. says G. n. Curzon. To the same
deeply embedded fallacy must be at
tributed the collateral opinion that a
civilian must be much better fitted to
command a battalion than a military
man. because he is supposed. in the
course of his studies, to have read some
thing of the art of war.
And when we examine what this art,
in its literary presentation. is, we find
that the standard military works in
China are some 5000 years old, and that
the authority in highest repute, Sun-tse

maneuvers as these: Spread in the

cannot be considered surprising that the
Chinese officers, so recruited and thus
taught, destitute of the slenderest ele-

scientific training, should earn the con-

are usually acquired either by favorit-

FOOTBALL CHAT.

A prominent Harvard alumnus, who
watches football closely, Is quoted as
saying: 81 think Harvard would agree
to change the date for the Springfield
game If 1t would help solve the Yale
Princeton trouble" Yesterday Mr..
George Adee, Yale's leading football
light in this city, distinctly said that
Harvard had twice declined to change
the date of the Springfield game. Yale
asked her to do so last December and
again last May AS Harvard has no
game scheduled from Nov. 10 until she
plays Yale. Nov. "a, and as she., too, has
hard game only five days later, on
Thanksgiving Day, with Pennsylvania at
Philadelphia. 1t rs hard to understand
her deciination to accede to Yale's re-
quest.
Mr.. Adee said further that he was
opposed to Yale playing Princeton on
the big match should be played on a
holiday. 1t has become too much of a
public spectacle already. he thinks. and
spot like Springfield, as the Yale Har-
ward game.
From talks with prominent alumni of
Yale in this vicinity, i is evident they
question of having the Yale Princeton
game played after Thanksgiving Day.
They have all received the cue from
the attitude of Hinkey and Cable they
agree to say Aye to all the pettifog-
cling the Yale politicians may do.
The mooted return to Yale of Murphy,
last years left-tackle, will cheer the
hearts of the Blues, for Murray, the
present occupant of that position, offered
almost no resistance to the assaults of

days game.

on the booting he gave Beard. a de-
