 The boys of the Athletic club have talk en up the matter enthusiastically, and at a meeting called Thursday evening to con slider the propgslllOn. voted unanimously to go into the Y, N. c. A. fl such gymna- sium could be provided. Upon action taken by the boys at that meeting it was decided to change the name from the Skagwav Athletic club to the Y. N. C. A. athletic club and join the same in body. In this case the boys will retain individ- uallty by remaining organized under the new name with the same officers.
 They will be given the privilege of elect ing two of their members 10 act on the Y. M.c. A. board of directors in all matters pertaining to the athletic work.

No Chance For Him.

Three negro lads met on a street cor
ner one afternoon, and by some queer
freak of Providence each had just Ii
cents. This was considerable for them,
and, being SO unfortunate as to, have
no "craps," it required much serious
deliberation to arrive at just the best
plan for spending it.
Finally m suggested that they
place their little capital in q pool and
then, each in turn, guess what was
good to eat, the best guesser to take
all Of the money.
This plan met with hearty approval,
as each M had ideas ON that subject,
and the IS cents was soon in q pile.
Then the first one guessed.
"Possum, sweet taters an water
melon," he said.
At this the second one reached down
and began picking up his nickels, but
the third stopped him with: "Hor on
dare! Let dat money lionel" To which
the second replied:
"You think I'ze goin to guess agains'
that fool niger when he's done said
all der is good ter eat?"-Types.
