tone of the first resolutions the new

SOME GOOD SHORT STORIES
Busting of the Austinville Howitzer.
(Chicago TTmes-FTerald


Chicago Times-Herald.)
The foreman was in a hurry and ad-
monishing everybody to be on the alert
The forms had been held twenty minutes
50 that Tthe account OF the Rockingham
Gddsby wedding could be published be-
Iore the morning paper might have a
cndnce to describe It. While the lady
VINO 'dld society for the HOwitzer was
writing her story of the function in which
al AustnV1lle was interested. the police
reporter called up and informed the city
eoltor that an unknown man lad lust
Deen found dead in an alley and That
mere We're evidences Of foul play.
Give me the facts as briefly as you
can, said the city editor, and I'll catch
TINS ed1tlon We're holding it for a
wedding"
The copy was passed out a sheet at a
time to the printers as fast as the city
editor could dash it of. After the manner
IN Wnlch the man was found had been
described the reporter at the station was
asked to give a description OF the IN
known victim, which he did
AS the city editor sent out the last sheet
OF the murder story the society reporter
hnlSned her account Of the wedding; the
makeup man grabbed two handfuls of
type and chucked them into what he
supposed were the proper places in the
form, there was hurry and scuTTy into
the stereotyping room and the printers
The city editor sat with his feet uDon
his desk, waiting for the boy to come up
from the pressrOOmi the society reporter
0rummed against her teeth with one end
of her pencil and looked over her notes
TO be sure that she had put all the facts
concerning the brides gown into her
story, and the religious editor tried To
persuade the financial man to put on the
gloves for q round or two before the
papers came up.
At last the Office boy appeared and be-
gan distributing his copies Of the Even
ing HOwitzer. The city editor glanced at
the headlines on the local articles to see
that they were all right. and each Of the
reporters settled back to leisUrely read
his own stuff.
For five minutes the office was silent
Then the society reporter uttered a sharp
scream, and with one impulse all the
men in the room ran to her There was
q wild look in her eyes, and, gaSping for
air. she pointed at the last paragraph Of
her story of the wedding.
The city editor snatched the paper away
from her, turned it so the light would fail
properly upon it, and read:
She carried a large bunch Of Ameican
beauty roses and wore "a magnificent
diamond sunburst, the gift Of the groom,
with a small, dark mUstaChe neatly trim
med. The front teeth were false. and the
face bore evidences Of dissipation.
The financial hacker of the paper fed
that night and the people who once made
the Evening Howitzer the lIveliest sheet
ever published in Austinyille are now
pursuing Journalism in various far-distant
parts of the country.

Washington News; It is unfortunate
that the great nations have not long since

Of humble fortune of ever rising to finan-

but more numerous, for then they appear
within the reach Of all who are frugal
and industrious.

TWO FINE BOAT RACES.
Varsity Goes to Pennsylvania and Fresh
mems to Wisconsin.


Poughkeepsie, n. Y, July 2.-One
of the most magnificent races in the
history Of college acquatics for years
was the varsity race roWed on the
Hudson course Saturday afternoon.
Following it was an equally exciting
two-mile brush among the freshmen
crews. Here is the record: Universe
ty race, four miles; contestants, Penn
sylvania, Wisconsin, Cornell, Column
bia and Georgetown; rowed at 600
o'clock. Pennsylvania won, time,
1914 SO second; Wisconsin second, III
1916 %; Cornell third, in 20O4 10;
Columbia fourth, in 20:0S 10; George
town fifth, in 20:19 10. Freshmen
race, two miles; contestants, Pennsyl-
vania, Wisconsin, Columbia and Cor
nell; rowed at s p. m. Wisconsin won,
time, 9:45 10, Pennsylvania second, in
1854 80: Cornell, so close to Pennsyl-
vania that her time was not taken;
Columbia fourth, time not taken.
Pennsylvania and Wisconsin during
the whole four-mile struggle kept their
shells Tapped and at no time was there
clear water between them. The same
was true of the Cornell, Columbia
and Georgetown crews. The fight be-
tween Pennsylvania and Wisconsin be-
came so exciting from the continued
uncertainty that the crowds aboard the
observation train fairly lost them
selves in frantic excitement.
