they showed tina old time strong en-
thusiastic interest tina made the sport so
popular in the past and which is almost
sure to give it a greater interest this year

This game is coming to the front here
and promises to eclipse some branches of
sport that are now at the height of sue
cess. All felt pleased last night over the

the Hansen Shufflaboard Club. This or
ganization is one of the first to form
here and since the beginning of its career
has been most active. 1t has played
against the strongest teams In the State.
not always with success but always with
that spirit OF true sportsmen and good
fellowship tina is such a great factor in
the race for success.
A new player was tried out by the local
club last night. Tile is Fl. Frey. He was
opposed by a strong player in the person
of uss and was beaten, but showed that
he may develop INTO q good one with a
little practice. ]. Hansen was the most
successful of the home team. He had
Yetter to dispose. Of and did the job very
well. All around the Hansens showed
tina they will be hard problems for any
of the crack ~aggregations to meet.

JOKES SAD END.
The Victim Now an Inmate of an In
sane Asylum.


A tightly closed carriage drove up to the
Reading Terminal entrance shortly before
noon yesterday. An emaciated man, with
eyes that seemed to hold the terror of some
charnal horror unspeakable issued from
the station. Two men of professional APP
pearance accompanied him. The carriage
door was slammed and the vehicle driven
rapidly away. When it stopped it was be-
fore private institution for the insane in
this city. And it closed the last chapter OF
a story-grewsome horrible. tragic
The occupant of the carriage one month
ago was brilliant young lawyer in a city
in New York state. He was utterly with
out fear. He boasted of il. Time and again
tests were made to break his iron nerve
without avail. 1t needed the ingenuity of a
group of medical students to consummate
his fate and to crush his spirit as a piece
of steel in the breaker.
In his city is a college of medicine Some
OF his friends Were students therein. Sc
cretly they formulated their plan. When
all was ready a challenge was made and
accepted. The terms were these: The law
yer was to enter the dissecting room of the
college at o o'clock that night He must be
unaccompanfed. dim light would be burn
ing in the room. As he entered he was to
be permitted one glance around the room.
Then he was to proceed at once to the op-
posite side of the room and take his seat
with his back toward the entire dissecting
room. AT the end of every half hour he
was 10 DC permitted one glance around.
This must continue until daybreak. No sec
ond look would be allowed until the half
hour had expired.
AT o O'Clock the young man entered the
room; The fetid smell usual to the place
greeted him. lamp burned dimly, throw
ing its feeble rays on the dissecting table
On it lay Shrouded cadaVer. The corners
OF the room were filled with grewsome
SHADOWS But one look could be taken
The young man drew up his chair and raso-
luteiy turned his back to the ROOM The
half hour passed. He raised his head ana
glanced over his shoulder-the eyelids of
the cadaver seemed to raise and look nj
him. He could not give another glance 10
satisfy himself. and turned his face away
once more. The next half hour passed
slowly. The fetid odor seemed to increase
At last the time came again for the second
The head Of the corpse seemed TO he rails
ing itsef-the lamp gave sudden flicker.
The next half hour was an eternity. The
surroundings. the silence. the indescribable
door. all combined to excite the young
mans imagination to the highest pitch. Al
