determination that had the effect OF

worked to some disadvantage and
held down some of the records. The

pletsd until after six o'clock.

There was single college record
broken that of pole vault, which

the medal for the champion of the
year.

Activity of President DIM

Powell Clayton, ambassador to Mex
leo, on recent visit to Washington
told story illustrative OF President
Diaz' activity, despite his years. In
company with the president the am
bassador visited the Mexican military
academy. 1t happened to be the hour
of exercise, and many cadets were en-
gagged in the gymnasium. Rope climb
ing was one of the exercises. From
rings in the timbers of the roof. 40 feet
from the ground, ropes were suspend
ed, and up these the cadets climbed,
using only their hands to raise and
maintain themselves. President Diaz
and Ambassador Clayton looked on for
a few moments and then, to the aston
ishment of the American. the presl-
dent of Mexico stripped off his coat.
took hold OF one of the ropes, and went
up, hand over hand, to the top as MIN
bly, as any of the cadets.

looking claws. the whole making a
"critter" not to be despised even by a
well-armed man.
Whether there are such cats as
that fellow in the Maine woods now or
not, / can't say" replied Johnson. "but
| do know mighty we'll that there was
one of them in Perham. way up be-

You know they can make a mighty
mean noise sometimes. and 1t is about

Then, as the yells, gradually chang

seemed to be drawing nearer. we hus-

to sleeping in the woods,an had never
