 Algernon TrufTles. cigarette case bent and hair mussed. Recovered.
 MyItle Love, hat Cn crooked and sash strings united. Still suffering.
 Caroline Heartease, all the curl out cf her hair while volleying with Harry Wise. Recovery doubtful.
 Harold de Grace, broke the creases in his new flannel trousers and got most dead from modification.
 Henristta de Rocks, bursted the palm Of her glove while cheering 2 brutal play. Is convalescing.
 Birdie Dove, heart pierced by a side g-ance from Beethoven SWipes. Never will recover.
 Willie Wally Willcr, sprained his mind in falling on the nets in front of 2 large gathering of our best set. New in a padded cell.
 This oarrible record of casualties is rot complete, but it suffices to show what tennis has come to under the present lax rules. If the friends of the game hope and expect to save it they must work to soften it and bring it within the physical powers and en- du:ance of all players. While Ameri- cans are a sturdy, hardy people their vitality is slowly being sapped by this burly pastime. Lct the effeee east and the young, wide-awake, progressive west unite in reforming our national game, for tennis and not crOquet nor golf is our national game.-Wester Graphic.

PREPARING AN ALIBI.
The Scheme Was Quite Ingenious,
 But It Didn't Work.

"One evening. some year ago." said a New Orleans druggist who had been reminded of a story, 'tI was standing behind the counter, just about where am now, when ! saw man slip in very quietly at the side door and stop in the rear of that tall case Of fancy goods 1 walked over at once and asked him what 1 could do for him, and it was at least half minute be- fore he replied: 'You don't seem very keen for trade he said at length, and he spoke in a curious gasping voice, ike a man out of breath. I've been waiting here said he, for quarter on an hour.
 Now. I was positive that he had just come in, but it is always unWlse to contradict a customer, so made no remark. I want you to put me up some qu;nine capsules he went on, and be quick about it, for 1 have an engagement at 9:30 o'clock I looked at my watch and told him he had twenty minutes to spare. It was then exactly 8:1O. All right he said, and I went for the Quinine. 1 handed hlm the package a few moments later, and as he reached for it he upset tall vase on the counter and broke it to
  ever saw, and had any possible mo- tive been apparent I would have sworn he did it on purpose. But he cursed like a pirate, and after much grumbling paid the bill, which was $3, and went away, and I never saw him again.
 Next morning I read in the paper that a murder had been committed fn a house nearly half mile from the store at about o'clock the previous evening. I gave it no special thought but something like a month later l received a visit from a lawyer, who told me that he represented certain man who was under suspicion for this very murder, and who expected daily to be placed under arrest. My client is not guilty he continued, and at the time of the crime was nowhere near the house. As nearly as he remeZn- .bers, he was in tEis store, making some trif1ing purchase. He recalls it, because he accidentally broke a vase. Do you remember the circumstance? I did instantly, and of a sudden the whole thing became clear. Ycu see my attention had been called espec- ially to the hour, and the vase-breaE- ing was evidently a ruse to fix the visit in my mind. I looked the lawyer in the eye Your client entered the store at S:10,' I said, and 1 have rea- son to believe he was running just before he reached it. That ended the conversation. The man was never ar rested, but soon after left the city. What was he doing that night? Why, his alibi, Of co1rse.' .'-New Orleans TimeS-Damocrat.

TENNIS SHOULD BE REFORMED

Al lovers of honest sport will be in tFrested in the proposed changes in tennis rules though they will deplore the seeming insult offered by eastern players in not calling into conference their western brothers.
 But the changes should affect more than simply service if tennis is not to suffer the fate of all sports rendered brutal by thOughtless friends Tennis is one of the most brutal of games and it has reached the point where, if it is not safeguarded by wise rules, the law must step in to protect players. To play through a whole game requires the hardest of nerve and physique. From the records of last years games

GRANTS FATAL DAY.
A Prophecy Which Caused His Family
 No End of Worry

During Grants last year of struggle between life and death, an event oc- cured which caused considerable pain and anxiety to his family. A profess sional astrologer had cast the general s horoscope and had predicted that he would die on March 31. The predic- ton worried the family not beca use they believed it, but because of the fear that it would come to the geneT- als ears and annoy him. The strict est watch was kept in order that pa pers containing the prophecy should not come into his possession, but ore day when the family returned to the generals room after breakfast they fohnd him intently reading the fore cast Of his own fate.
 Nothing at all was said about it at nac time CT later, for they wished as far as possible to keep the generals mind from dwelling on the thought of death, but as the date grew near they noticed that he asked more frequently what day of the month it was. Some times he asked that question twice UN the same day, and when his sen, Ulysses, answered on one occasion, hs said:
 You told me that befcre''
 ''I know 1 did, father, but it was this morning"
 T had forgotten it" answered the general.
 The family became more and more as the day approached, and when at last it arrived they dreaded the effsct it might possibly have upon the generals mind. Every one about his bedside was extremely nervous, un- til they suddenly found cut that in stead of being anxious about the day

HEROES OF RIO GRANDE.

Two heroes of the Kansas regiment
are Ed White and w. B. Trembley Of
Company B.
They swan the Rio Grande river IN
der the trenches of the Filipinos,
carrying with them a line which was
to be used in towing RATS across the
river. The RATS were to carry the
regiment across the stream to within
storming distance of the trenches.
Modest soldiers are these, for they
declined to speak of their gallant act
except in a deprecatory manner.
1T didn't amount to anything" said
White.
"Oh, don't write anything about
that said Trembley. There wasn't a
shot fred at u.s.
1t was on April 9th, and Funston
was on his way to take Calumpit The
Rio Grande river, on the opposite bank
of which were the enemy's trenches,
lay between our troops and Calumpit.
Funston conceived the plan of taking
his men across the river in RATS, but
before this could be done a towline
must be made fast on the opposite bank.

bIey were the first to respond to the

mand. Soon we advanced again. We
passed through the woods and into an
other opening. 1t was in this opening
that our first man fell. BY this time
excitement had conquered my fears.
One mans bravery and soIicitude for
others here impressed me. He had re-
ceived severe wound. We passed him
but few feet and halted. Then came
the hospital corps and stretcher bear
ers. His wound received full care and
he was placed on the stretcher Just as
they moved to the rear, two men, about
twenty or thirty feet to the right fell
He saw them and stopped the litter.
He insisted that he be left where he
was and that the others be taken first.
The surgeon refused, but he persisted
A superior officer settled the question
by sending the first man back.
Nov it was that men began to fall
all around US. On through brush and
over cleared fields, and on to deep
ravine, and then on to the river they
went; men were falling everywhere.
Here it was that the blue-shirted Lieut.
Col. Little illustrated to me true
bravery.
He had ordered his men to lie down.
The bullets were whistling and crack
ling overhead and all around US, finding
here and there a victim. The men were
uneasy, restless; wanted to be up and
doing. They would rise to their knees,
always looking forward. q was behind
a tree.) Their actions seemed to anger
the lieutenant colonel, and he repeated
time and time again the order to lie
down. He STROBE back and forth and
exclaimed:
:" Soldiers, if you don't lie down I'll
hit you a clip with this sword, and see
if you'll then lie down.
"A pronounced smoker went down the
line, but the order was obeyed. no
ticed, however, that the lieutenant col
onel did not lie down. He STROBE up and
down in front of his men, unconcerned
for himself but solicitOus for his men.
That I think is good soldering
In summing up the result of his ex-
periences, under the head of what i'm
pressed him most, the writer in the
above paper says:
THE eagerness of the men to advance
and fight was first.
Their courage and fortitude in the
heat and smoke and when wounded.
Their bravery and the solicitude Of
the field hospital corps.

I have always believed that the boys

up until White and Trembley were in
the enemy's country, right up to the
trenches.
There was no place to make the line
fast except to some part of the trench
es. Behind the latter were $500 Fill
pinos, and the soldiers knew not the
moment shower of bullets might
come down upon them. With Yankee
grit and full confidence in the men be-
hind them, the two daring soldiers
clambered up the wall and threw a
bovine. in the end of the rope they
carried, over two bamboo poles which
formed part of the trenches, and then
slid down to the river.
A rebel yell greeted their daring per-
formance from the Kansas side, and
the firing went on. The two naked dar-
ing Kansans threw mud at the rebels
in the trenches and gave the soul stir
ring Kansas yen which almost fright
ened the covering FilipinOs to death.
A few moments later forty eight men
were on raft towing themselves across
the river Then the Filipinos began to
run. About forty of them tried to get
out under a bridge. Seven of them
got away.
The story of the taking of Calumpit
has been told again and again, but
these were the two lads that made the
capture possible.
