LAST NIGHTS POLO.
Meriden Defeats New Haven-Provi-
dence and Hartford Lose.


New Haven polo teams winning
streak was cut short last night by the
quintet from Meriden. The game was
conspicuous for one thing, and that
was the smallness of the score, only
three goals being made during the
whole contest. In the first period Meri-
den scored twice. Their second goal
was a lucky one and fell to Farrelrs S
record, that player sending the ball
down the entire length of the rink.
Several of the players were in front Of
Lations, and he failed to get his eye on
the ball in time to prevent it's lodging
in the net. The second period saw the
Blues playing all around the Greer S,
but only once were they able to best
Farrell. During the third period the
play was mostly confined to Meriden's S
territory, but Farrell was playing for
all he was worth, and refused to let
in either Bones or Whpples' well aim
ed drives, and the game was finished
in favor of the visitors by one goal
Lations deserves special word of
praise for the excellent defense he put
up during the greater part of the game.
In fact the whole contest was what
might be termed a goal tenders one.
Leydon and Whiting also played hard
game, and on the merits of the play
New Haven should have won. Sum-
mary: Goals Meriden 2, New Haven l.

THE IDOL or THE TURF.
The Most Popular Jockey In Amer-.

arts Dyspepsia Tablets.
No jockey has ever appealed so.
strongly to public favor at Tod Sloan.
He has achieved more than his most
noted predecessors ever attempted and
stands in class by himself.
Not satisfied with his successes In his
native country, he went to England,
and now his fame as a successful horse
man is on the tip of every tongue, not
only in this country and England but in
every section of the globe where racing
has found favor.
When Tod first went to England his
temerity was openly laughed at, but
the little American played skittles with
his English rivals and his victories
made all England gasp.
Having the stamp Of royal approval,
society both at home and abroad
"lionize'' him and he is feted and pet.
ted to an extent that would turn an or
binary mortal's head.
The great jockey was in such demand
socially and dined and wined to such
an extent that it was feared his health
would give way. Too much society and
the nervous strain of racing told on
him.
A two weeks trip to America made
him acquainted with Stuarts Dyspep-
sia Tablets and their remarkably res
torative effects on q depleted digestive
apparatus and he recommended them in
unstinted terms to friend. saying
"Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the
best thing know of for keeping the
stomach in condition and appetite in
good repair"
Thousands of former dyspeptics can
vouch for the truth of Tod Sloan's
words, as "Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets"
have become household word in
America, and few families are without

Perfectly healthy people use them af-
ter heavy dinners to keep their good
health and to/make sure that no i'll eff

meal.

doctor either, that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are composed only of digestive
ferments, asceptic pepsin, hydrastis,
fruit acids, ETC., and for the strong
stomach as we'll as the most delicate
constitute safeguard against indiges-

Des Moines, Oct. 5.-Winners of Dem
crest gold medals met last evening in
diamond medal declamatory contest at
the First Baptist church. The evening
session of the w. C. r. u. convention
was given over to this contest, which
proved an excellent one. 1t is doubt
full If even an intercollegiate oratorical
contest would interest more people in
Iowa or represent the elimination of
the labors and studies of a greater
number than a diamond medal contest.
AT the bottom round of the ladder are
the local contests for silver medals.
The winners in these primary contests
enter district contests, in which the
prizes are gold medals: and finally
comes the diamond medal contest, to
which only winners of gold medals are
eligible.
In last evenings contest there were
six entries, as follows:
Edgar A. McRoberts, Shenandoah.
Edna A. Myers, Storm Lake.
louise Wright, Leon
Ernest Boyd, Creston.
Jessie Egan. Des Moines.
Myrtelle b. Mcdonald, Creston.
The contestants all gave excellent
ldeclamations, and it was no easy task
for the judges to determine the order
of merit. The decision gave the dia-
mond medal to Edgar A. AIcRoberts
second prize was won by Edna A. My

Not long after this Wills Mayhem

who saw that, although ii was written
in n generous hand, there was matter
enough for at least two columns.

A rush of real copy came along just
then, and in the hurry the Englishman
and the little Ilindoo went off together.

the day that Standish found time to
look at the copy thus left with him for
trial, 1t did not begin in a very prom
Using way. There We're many pages Of
an Introduction which blanketed what
ever story might be to follow. There
was much moral theorizing, and the
apt citation from classical sources
showed that the writer was both a
man of wide reading and just as wide
ly unfit to be allowed to write n story
for IN American newspaper. Disguised
at the preface, Standish hastily cut in
TO the middle to see if there were real
ly any story after all the overloaded
introduction. Here all was different,
as different as the work of another
hand, of another mind. There was in
deed a story, and IL was told in terse,
nervous sentences, with the accuracy
of detail which only eyewitnessing
could give TO an account and then only
if written on the very spot of the ac-
ton in progress. Standish worked
backward to where the story itself be-
gan, laid aside the heavy introduction
and read with growing amazement the
consistent account of Il murder wrought
on n young girl. Every needed detail
WAS presented, the girls name and ad
dress Were given, and her domestic anC
