You shall give the foeman all his due


And let him win II he can;
But keep all rights that belong TO you.
For that is the law OF man.
You shall hold the ground that Is yours
And yield not a foot you have trod;
But grant his right in a etand-up hght,
For that is the law OF God.
If you row with the crew in the boat,
It's a wretched thing TO SPY;
There's plenty Of work when you leave
the float
But little to do for the eye.
There's plenty 20 do TO swing ana silde,
And steady the fragile she'll
But 10 gain your strength from the other
side
Is a method sent from hell.
No man shall yield on the football field
TIN the final whistle sounds;
No man shall show by single blow
That he has no place on the GROUNDS,
But when the foe Is IN racking pain,
And cannot move or fight.
You shall help him up to his feet again,
And chafe his bruise and bind his strain:
TO show the make OF your own good
grain.
For that is fair and right.
The strength OF the team. or nine. or crew
IL not the strength OF the star,
IT'S what the body together can do
That carries the victory -.
Sc you shall give yoLr mite 10 the rest
10 uflnS tne whole team tHiourh,
And then at the time Of your single test
They shall give their strength 10 you.
And these are the laws OF the athlete.
You can heed them or not. as you ike,
But they make the code OF the runner
fleet.
And they check a man when he'd strike;
They tell you how TO lay your plan,
And how 10 carry Il through;
They help the man, who's done what ne
can
To bear his Waterloo. ....-..-.-

The Secretary Of the Interior has ap-
proved and forwarded to Congress the
recommendation OF the Commissioner of
Education that the sum Of $4,000 be ap-
propriated The present year for the pur-
chase of reindeer, the same to be fur
nished by the lowest bidder and delivered
at suitable points on the Alaskan coast.
From 1900 to 1900 reindeer could, 1t IS
thought, be secured with this sum. Added
to the 500 OF more deer already in the herd
kept at Port Clarence, near Boring Strait,
there would be "a stock of 900 or more.

the Bureau OF Education could distribute
in the first year a sufficient number 10

The object of the introduction OF rein

Not of His Blood.

Numbers of stories, most of them silly,
but few amusing ones among them,
are told of the little crown prince of
Germany. When his father first ascend
ed the throne, Prince Frederick Will
helms head was completely turned by
the dizzy height of his new position.
The lives of his younger brothers be-
came q misery to them. Then the En-
peror INTERVIEWED. For time the crown
princes spirit was humbled. A week
later it broke out afresh. Driving one
afternoon with. his governess it suddenly
entered the young princes mind that, to
sit alone on the front seat was more
becoming to the dignity of his position.
With a peremptory wave Of his hand he
commanded the duenna-a countess-to
leave his side, and sit with her back, to
the horses. II cannot travel in that posi-
ton" she expostulated. II am sorry,
madam, but l must insist. 1t is not
proper that anyone not of royal blood
should occupy the same seat as The fut-
monstrances the countess, who was de-
termined not to yield, declared that she
would sooner return to the castle on
foot. The little prince instantly stopped
the carriage and ordered the footman to
let down the steps. II hope you will
enjoy your walk, madam" he remarked
tremendously to the irate old lady, and
continued to drive in solitary state. On
his return to the palace, although he
mustrhave known that a flogging await

jig him to his fathers study, and with
perfect comp0sure and with head. erect,

A Cabbage Twelve Feet Tall.

The tallest cabbage in California was
grown from seed SOwn by Samuel Wake
man of Berkeley. Cal. The stock of this
plant, on exhibition at Mr.. Wakemans
store. is II feet inches high.
In 1856 Mr.. Wakeman brought a
Isle of Jersey. He kept some of the
seed, and gave some to the agricultural
department of the State university. The
remainder was distributed among East
ern friends, many of whom have made
inquiry as to where more of it can be
procured. In the university grounds
and in Mr.. Wakeman's garden are
measuring s and 8 feet in height, but
the specimen now on exhibition in the
Berkeley store is the record-breaker. It's
wonderful growth was attained in nine
months.
The sprouts of the kale are edible,
and taste much like those of the cab
bage. However, in it's native habitat
the Isle of Jersey, its leaves are used
to feed the diminutive COWS that have
aided to render the name of Jersey q
farmyard word all over the world. The
California; experimenter finds that the
succulent green leaves are much relisled
by chickens, and point in favor Of the
plant is that it produces green leaves
the year around.
The stock of the Berkeley monstrosity
is as large as a mans waist at the root,
and tapers gradually to the seed
branches, ten feet from the ground. To
this height the stem has been stripped
of its leaves, rendering its resemblance
to a hickory sapling very remarkable.
The top is surmounted by feathery
punches of small yellow flowers.
The fiber of the plant is hard and last
ing, and can be converted into excellent
canes. Mr.. Wakeman has a walking
cane of this description, vanished and
mounted with gold head. He brought
the cane from England.-BerkeIey (Cai.)

CALIFORNIA HOT SPRINGS.
A Wonderful and Interesting Discover

A Wonderful and Interesting Discovery
Near San Bernardino.
A wonderful and interesting discovery
hastbeen made near Arrowhead Springs
by Thomas Hatten, pioneer resident
of San Bernardino. and the owner of
big ranch near the foothills, says San
Bernardino dispatch to the San Fran
cisco Call. He has found the probable
source of the warm water in and about
Arrowhead Springs.
Hatten started in quest of sheep that
were missing. Following an old trail
over Waterman canyon he came upon q
natural basin formed by rocks. While
gazing about the little valley he saw at
a distance of about $50 yards a thin
white column of smoke issuing from be-
hind boulder. Believing it was
campfire, he went toward it to ascertain
it the campers had seen his sheep.
When Hatten reached the rock be found
no sign of life and the smoke had dis
appeared.
Hatten determined to investigate. The
big boulder was in the way, and he
went to quarry some distance away
and procured dynamite. One Of the

dynamite under the rock and it was
blown to atoms.
From the spot where the boulder stood
issued a sheet of flames, throwing out
intense heat. After the flames subsidized
the men approached the spot and dis
covered a cave of some depth, at the bot
tom of which there appeared to be flow,
ing lava: It will probably be some time
before the cavern can be fully explored,
owing to the intense heat issuing from
it's mouth.
In various parts of the mountains in
the vicinity Of this discovery. are lava
formations. Scientists have been trying
for some time to fathom the origin Of
the many warm springs in and about
Arrowhead, but the honor of the dis,
cOYery has fallen to Hatten. -. y.

Within few days one nurseryman

little accessible stock in sight. The

California Redwoods,

A new venture has been tried in the
shipping of California redwood to Eng
land. Two British ships have lately
started on their homeward voyage car
rying cargoes of redwood. This wood,
which is used universally: and recklessly
here in general building, mas in England
attracted the attention of decorators and
architects. It's rich reddish tint renders
it adaptable to interior decorations, pan
cling and wainscoting. The two ships
just started are taking their cargoes Oh
speculation. This is another menace to
the redwood forests, which, as it is, are
rapidly disappearing. Those interested
in the preservation of the Golden states
beauty have unsuccessfully tried to stop
the wholesale demolition of these ia
nous forests-the wonder and beauty of
California. Save in the few cases where
the redwoods have gained the giant
growth Of 'big Trees" no attempt has
been made to preserve them. AS they
only grow in the foldings of the Sierra,
the time is not far distant when the
canyons will be swept bare of them,
and California will waken to the realiza-
ton of the vandalism that has robbed it
of it's greatest scenic charm.-Harpers
