WILL NOT
PRESS HIS SUIT

Washington, Feb. 25.-The understand
ing among Admiral Schley's friends now
is that they will not further press the
question of Admiral SIMPSONS advance
ment over Admiral Schley. They viii
therefore agree to let the nominations be
confirmed with little if any debate, de-
pending upon further legislation to place
Admiral Schley before the country in the
position which they think he should oc-
cupy. They propose to ask that pro-
vision be made for the appointment of
two vice admirals, with the understand
ing that Messrs. Schley and Sampson
shall be nominated for the two places
thus created. Admiral Schley told his
senatorial friends that he was willing tC
trust his fortunes to their care.

SPORTING NEWS

The probable purchaser of the st. Louis
| baseball franchise is still in the dark. The
fact that Arson has raised $15, 900 and
made a trip to Cincinnati has again en-
couraged the rumor that the former cap
tain of the Chicago team is after some
thing in the way of a baseball franchise.
Before leaving for Cincinnati, Arson re-
corded a mortgage in favor of the Secur-
ity Title and Trust company on property
at Sixty-ffth street and Langley avenue.
The mortgage run for three years and
drawns 6 per cent interest. The high rate
at which the money was secured suggests
something of haste on Anson's part to the
guessers on the baseball situation.
Whether Arson is in or out of baseball,
the gossips a 1t settled that the "old
man is after something big.
From other sources it is learned that
Arson will positively open a billiard and
bowling hall in Chicago. Arson went to
Cincinnati with F. NJ. Atwood to see Da-
vid Sinton, a capitalist of that city. Mr..
Sinton owns a building on Madison street,
near Clark, just west Of the Atwood
building. Arson is said to van 1t for his
billiard rooms. According to a statement
made by Atwood's manager, Arson is
after the building and has obtained the
assistance of Mr.. Atwood in securing it.
The fact that Tom Lotus of Columbus

absent from the class room but two days
at the time of the Pennsylvania game
last fall.
Old-fogy ideas on the part of eastern
faculties in refusing to permit their teams
to make these trips seem to be nearer the
real truth in regard to these refusals.
There is no legitimate reason why clean
Intercollegiate sport etwee east and
west should not be fostered. The west
has on more than one occasion offered to
| meet the east more than half way. This
was due, however. to the fact that the
east was supposed to be superior to the
! west in all branches of sport. Within the
past year the west has demonstrated that
their standard is high enough to warrant
an independent stand and recognition on
an equal basis. The east is willing to
| grant that they are desirable opponents,
but refuses to come west to play the
| games. 1t is to be hoped that these OBJ
j~ections on the part of eastern teams can
be overcome and that eastern teams will
soon change their policy and come west.
Thomas J. Keenan,, Jr., of PittSburg,
the newly elected president of the l.. a.

not come into the league pasture even if
the olive branch had been extended at

THERE is nothing that requires more
thorough knowledge, in order to produce
good results. than farming. Almost any
one can conduct farm, but to conduct
it successfully is an entirely different
matter. Farming, like other vocations,
must be thoroughly understood if it is to
be we'll done. Besides tilling the soil
there are many other things about a
farm that require care and attention, and
often, through inexperience and ignor-
ance, many farmers efforts prove vain.
The Werner company of Akron Ohio, is
offering, in another part of this issue, a
book that should be found in the home
of every farmer, entitled 1.-The Farmers
Encyclopedia" The volume is profusely
illustrated and contains 636 pages of in
formation that cannot fail to be of inter
est to every farmer in the country. 1t
covers, in plain language, all the various
branches Of farming, besides much other
useful information for the home.

Works, at 81 year, receive this elegant
Almanac as a premium. Word and
Works is a recognized leader among the
best family and scientific journals, while
nothing of it's kind can compare with the

nominel price for such unique and useful
publications. Professor Hicks has justly

the Homes of officials.


the Homes of officials.
One of the leading jewelers. of the
capital was somewhat taken aback one
day, says a Washington paper, by re-
ceiving from the wife of high official
an order for half q dozen gold nails
with a jewel in the head of each and
dozen small gold chains. He inquired
the uses to which the nails were to be
put, when his patron said:
You see, | have a number of very
valuable objects of art, which, al
though they are very expensive, are
very small and easily handled. AS the
wife Of an official of the government,
l am obliged to open my house during
the season to the constituents of my
husband and the Washington curiosity
seeking public In general On my re-
ceptiOn day, therefore, my house Is
crowded with all sorts of people, and
last winter | suffered the loss of sew
eral Of my most valuable treasures.
II have long been trying to devise
some plan by which l can keep my
objects of art outside of my cabinets
y
is the only word l can use in regard
to the loss Of my treasures. L have
concluded that must either nail down
some of the bric-a-brac or chain it Sc
curely to the table, and hence am go
ing to try this remedy. That is why
| want these nails and chains"
This woman's predicament is not an
oh; Eoio ~,
cles. The kleptomaniacs who commit
the most aggravated depredations are
for the most part we'll known leaders
in society.
One winter social circles in Wash
ington were greatly bewildered and
shocked by the doings of one of the
best known women in official circles.
A number of hostesses began to miss
valuable doilies from their dinner ia
bles after they had given luncheons or
dinners. and finally several Of them got
together and compared notes, and sus-
picion fell upon one of the women
who had been the guest at luncheOns
given by those gathered at the confer
ence.
Finally the wife of q prominent dip
lomat determined to stop the raid upon
the doilies, and at the next luncheon
she seated the suspected kleptOmaniac
next to her. When the doilies were
brought on, she watched her guest and
discovered that the latter laid her dolly
on the table and, carelessly dropping
her handkerchief over it, picked up
both.
The hostess, in a most charming
manner, turned to her guest and said:
Pardon me, my dear Mrs. -, but
l am afraid you have my most ex-
quisite dolly in your handkerchief 1t
is so fine | am afraid it will be crush
ed and therefore call your attention
to your inadvertence in taking it up
with your handkerchief"
The guest was not in the least abash-
ed, and with q laugh she shook out her
handkerchief, and the dolly fell back
on the table, whereupon she exclaimed:
"Why, dear me, SO have! How very
careless of me!'
There were signifit ant glances all
around the table, but no more doilies
were lost during that season.

Kindness and Exercise.

We should treat a cow kindly, even
with touch of affection, for she will
respond with affection and will yield
willingly her daily tribute to a consid-
crate master She has a sensitive,
nervous systematic better the cow,
the more highly strung. The man or
boy who kicks her should be made to
blush with shame, for he is not a fit
companion, much less a proper care
taker of this friendly brute. We
must feed her well-not too we'll, but
enough. Let us keep her quarters
neat, clean and comfortable and give
her sunlight and pure air. We must
not tie her by the head all winter long,
with no chance for exercise, but we
should allow her to tone up her phys

Short on Dairy Cows.

The supply of milking cows in the
British islands is matter Of very Sc
rious moment to our country. The
fact that in so many instances it is the
custom with milk sellers to buy in
milk as long as profitable and then
consign to the butcher their cows has
very much to do with this, as in such
cases no breeding is going on, and the
country is gradually being drained Of
the foundation for breeding this class
of stock.-s~ - --"
