Too Much str.wborry shortcake.

An entertaining correspondent declares
it TO be an open secret that Coach Court
ney's intention oil along was TO take two
Cornell varsity crews to Poughkeepsie this
year, instead Of one Now his plans are
suddenly changed, and he has left only
ten candidates, eight of whom are very
young, only two being old varsity men. A
number Of the old crew men on whom
Courtney had relied the most have not
been training faithfully. When the row
ing season began, the old varsity crew, of
course, did not row as well as the An
napolis crew. but IL was not expected they
would, as old crew men are invariably
slow in getting into form. After few
weeks they improved immensely and
made as fast time as at the same period
last year, and the "old man" was confident
that the men were getting into form.
Then came "a change Every weeks train
ing showed change for the worse, and
the varsity boat lost speed at rate of 20
seconds per week, while the Annapolis
crew gained in speed. The daily races on
the lake continued TO Illustrate the de-
tlorable condition of the varsity men.
Then the freshman crow beat them in
trials, and the humiliation was made COM
plcte when the second freshman crew de-
feated the old mon. Courtney discovered
that one of tho principal weaknesses of
these men was strawberry shortcake. and
that they gormnndized on this, probably
one OF the worst things a man in training
can eat.

Eastern League Standing.
Toronto, S; Providence, ;.

The Toronto Providence game played at
Toronto yesterday was won by the home
team in the sixth inning, after the score
had been tied. Frooman's home run with
two men on bases was the manner in
which the three runs were scored and the
game won. Hodson who was in the points
for Providence had excellent control of
the ball allowing only nine hits and
throughout tho game did not send
man TO first on called balls. CASTOR for
Toronto also did good work, giving three
bases on balls ana only six hits OFT his do
livery. The Canadians began well by
hitting run in the first inning, but I'm
the third the champions took the lead by
securing two runs. In the next turn at
the bat the home players made IL an even
thing and then Freeman's putting the
ball over the fence settled the run getting
except for single tally of the visitors
made In the final innin%. Braun took
Hodson's place at the bat In the ninth.

admiration to the old and OF delighted
wonder TO the young. The consolidation
of great shows, which Is to exhibit in
this city on Monday, June %, includes
three royal delegations Of the biggest,
smallest and best taught Of our distin-
guished truncal friends. The one is the
world-famous, original Adam Forepaugh
herd of performing elephants, which has
leen before the public for nearly half a
century, can boast OF veteran artists over
a hundred years OF age, and has been
trained TO present a colossal program of
amazing ard amusing feats, in "a spec igl
school of which il Is the only example.

FOR YOUNG PEOPLE.
THE DIFFERENCE.

A GEAR little boy who was hard at play
Sat down on the ice one day, one day,
Sat down on the ice In a sudden way
His hands flew up, and his feet few out,
And he felt very sad haven't doubt;
But he swallowed hard, and he winked
quite fast,
Till as much as minute or two had passed,
And never a tear did he shed-not he.
For he was boy, with big, big b,
For he was boy. you sec.
Then a dear little girl went down, kee-
thump!
And up came the ground with funny
jump
And gave her forehead wee little bump.
Then, oh, the wailing that filled the air!
And auntie and mamma were hurrying
there;
And as many as six big tears came out
To find what the noise was all about!
And she ran to be cuddled and kissed, did
she.
For she was girl, with small, sman g,
For she was girl, you see

A TERRAPIN'S LOVE OF HOME.
Caught, Marked and Released Three
Times, 1t Returns to Its Abode.

Caught, Marked and Released Three
Times, 1t Returns to Its Abode.
The devotion of land terrapin to its
home is well illustrated by story from
Paoli, Ind. In 1910 Miss Davie Peele, of
that city, was ten years old. While play
ing in the woods one day she came upon
one of the creatures and took it home.
Its curious ways pleased her and she
put it in box to keep as pet. The
little prisoner refused food and chafed
at confinement. AS the young lady was
about to release the terrapin some one
suggested that she carve her name in
it's shell. She did this, adding the
date. The little animal was let go.
Ten years later Miss Peele married
County Clerk While, of Orange county.
One day she found herself in the vicin-
ity where she had first discovered the
terrapin. To her great surprise she
again found the little fellow within
few feet of where she first saw it. Her
name and the date were as plain as when
she put them there. The terrapin was
again made prisoner to show her
friends the marvellous find. Again
tracing her new name on the shell she
released her captive. The date, 1850,
was put on.
After many years Mrs. While became
a widow and removed to Hutchinson,
Kan. There she married DR.. Mckinney
and still resides there.
In the summer of 1872 Mrs. Mckinney
visited her old home at Paoli. A search
again revealed the terrapin at its first
abode. Again che carved her changed
name on the shell. 1t was the talk of
the little town Returning to her west
ern home Mrs. Mckinney thought little
of her terrapin until friend in 1895
sent her copy of a local paper contain
ing the facts. The terrapin had been
again found, and the date 1895 carved
on it's back. 1t was found right where
it had been first discovered by Miss
Peele. Each time it had been released
near the center of the little town and
found it's way to its original home

THE HIGHWAY.

Ehs highway lies. all bare and brown
- naked line across the down,
Worn by a hundred hurrying feet
The tide of life along it flows.
And busy commerce comes and goes.
Where once the grass grew green and
sweet,
The worlds fierce pulses beat.
Well for the highway that 1t lies
The passageway of great emprise!
j, Yet from it's dust what voices cry
Voices of soft green growing things
Tram2led and torn from earth which
clings
Too closely, unperceiving why
Its darling BARNS must die!
Hay hearts a highway, trodden down
ny many q traveller of renown-
Grave thought, and burden-bearing
deeds.
Aud strong achievements envoy fares,
with laughing joys and browning cares,
Along the road that Woodward leads
Once rank with foolish weeds.
Glad is my heart to hear them pass;
Vet sometimes breathes low alas!
The tender springing things that grew
The nursing hopes their feet destroyed,
Sweet ignorant dreams that youth en-
ioyed-
And blossomed there the long year
through
Would could have them too!

The Fennec, a Beaukiful Little Animal
Found In Africa.
This beautiful little animal, which Is
peculiar to Africa, being found in
Egypt and Nubia, resembles the fox in
general form and has the same bushy
tail. Its large ears and small head give
it quaint look and its pretty blue eyes
are bright and intelligent looking. The
fur is generally of pale fawn color, but
sometimes creamy white, while the tail
is of the same color, except in the upper
base and the end, which parts are de-
cidedly black.
Full-grown, the fennec, or zerda, is
about IL inches long, without the tail,
which is two-thirds the length of the
body. He is very active, and has
habit of running ways, then stopping
to sit on his launches, looking very

POPULAR WOMAN IN MEXICO.
The Wife OF the President Is Beloved by
Everyone.

Everyone.
Mime. De Diaz, the wife of the presi-
dent of Mexico, is not only the first lady
Of the country, but is the most popular
woman of the republic. Sonora Dona
Carmen Romero Rubio de Diaz is known
among her people, from the mansions of
the rich in the brilliant capital to the
humblest hut ON the frontier, as Car
melita, meaning Our little Carmen"
Her popularity ever increases, for each
year sees a larger number of good works
dispensed by this generous woman, who
uses her power to improve the lot of
long-oppressed and unhappy people.
Nine. Diaz is often appealed to on be-
half of some one or other sentenced to
long Imprisonment or death. Official
pardon is a delicate power for anyone
to hold, and the presidents wife is nat
urally careful for the justice of her
case before she goes to her lord to plead
for executive clemency. But the presi-
dent himself is of d forgiving nature,
and not infrequently the pardon 10
granted. Neither the president nor his
wife attends the brilliant but brutal

their influence against the degrading
spectacles. 1t is certain that the presi-
dent will entirely prohibit them as soon
as public sentiment gives any hope of
unfolding his wishes.
"Carmelita" is the second wife of Gen.
Porfierio Diaz, and is in her SD year.
She stands as type of advanced Span
ish-American womanhood, and among
other accomplishments speaks English
and French almost with equal f1uency.
She is remarkably we'll informed on cur
rent events, and her advice is often
sought by her husband. The president
is GO years old, and is very proud of his
fair young wife. When their marriage
took place, in 1884, they took their we'd
ding tour through the United States.

ner we'll match her beauty. Her an
cestry dates far back into the nobility
of old CASTLE, and the evidences of long
culture are easily marked. 1t is plain
ly apparent that considerable part of
the republic of Mexico and the desire
of the people to keep President Diaz in
office are due to the general esteem for
his lovely wife.-N. Y. Times.
