Princeton, H., was arrested at the re-
lay depot yesterday by the police and
sent back to his home. He is 10 years
of age. and claims that he has been on
the road for some time He says that
he does not wish to attend school. He
decided last month that he would run
away, and securing Il few dollars,
jumped ON passing freight train and
rode west. The brakeman put him off
by force. He received a bad SCALP

the wound. The boy worked for a
time for a farmer, who, when tired of
his services, ordered him to leave the

Mr.. Bryan's defeat is attributable
mainly to this lack Of faith in his
financial and economic theories. In
part, toos II may be traced to the lack
of confidence In tis capacity for the adj
ministration OF practical affairs. Adj
miration is not confidence, and esteem
for Mr.. Bryan's personal character, for
his purity. honesty and sincerity was
not sufficient. A man who is admired
for his eloquence, his lofty motives and
a certain vein of rapt poetic or proph-

ONTROLLING COLLEGE, ATH

tNebraska state J0urnal,l


A small revolt has arisen among the
students OF the UniSersity OF Missouri
because the curators have ordained
that no man may play on the foot ball
team unless he has a grade OF IS in his
class work. The students think that
this rule, and others OF a similar M !
ture that have In view the entire elimi-
nation OF professionalism, are unneces-
sarily harsh and arbitrary. But IL is
plain enough to the lovers OF amateur
sport that college athletics must be
lcleansed or all intercollegiate contests
must be abandoned. The students will
be called upon sooner or later to make
the choice. The University OF Kansas
has taken firm and successful stand
against reckless student management
of athletics. and the board of control
made splendid beginning last year in
Nebraska. The Missouri curators are
lin the right, and q liberal display OF
backbone just nov will aid in the puri-
ification Of college athletics all over the
west.

NIlss Tracey,s Career.

Miss Minnie Tracey, who has re-
turned from Europe to become mem
Der Of the Metropolitan English grand
opera company, is daughter of Col
onel John Tracey, well known in the
literary and political circles of New
York and Washington. She was born
in Albany and studied music first in
this city under Max Maretzel, who was
so confident of her ultimate success
that he persuaded her parents to send
her to Paris, where she became a pu-
Pill of Marie Sasse, for whom Meyer
beer wrote "L'Africaine."
Eighteen months later Miss Tracey
received an offer to sing Elsa in the
first production of 'Lohengrin" in
French at Geneva, Switzerland, but her
studies had not been completed and
she was compelled to refuse the en-
gagement. However, the directors of
the opera at Geneva had not forgotten
the young girl. The following spring
they wrote to Nine. Sasse, saying that
the city would pay the expenses of her
self and pupil if she would bring Miss
Tracey to Geneva to sing before the
committee Of stockholders. The re-
suit of the journey was a seven
months contract. Scenes from
Faust" "The Huguenots" and Rig
oletto' comprised the special bill in
which she made her debut. At the
conclusion of this engagement Miss
Tracey sang in Nice, Marseilles, Cairo,
Monte Carlo and Bordeaux.
She was then invited to sing in
Milan and Genoa. She won an especial
triumph in the latter city as the
heroine of Massenet's "Le Cid." In
her repertoire are included 'L'Afri-
caine," "La Juive," "Aida," I'll Troy
atore," "Lohengrin," "Tannhausar,"
Robert lie Diable," .Herodiade," lie
Prophete," "Sigurd" "Cavalleria Rus
ticana," Don Giovanna." and "Faust."
In addition to her operate experiences
Miss Tracey has sung in concert in
many cities, among them London, Ber-
lin and Paris. She recently appeared
in the latter city at concert ten
dered to the American commissioners
to the Paris exposition.

that of the board or of the dog is. un-
fortunately, not made clear in the
regulations, but probably the board
puts itself into the dogs place and acts
accordingly. If the dog has not been
under the applicants care for three
months he must be detained and iso-
lated for six months after being land
ed, provided he is landed at all. The
board has approved only one isolation
place. 1t is down in Surrey. The dog
must be packed in a box or crate and
shipped through without stoppages on
the way. If a dog has been under his
owners care for three months or
more he may be isolated in the own
er's place of residence, provided it is
not hotel, fiat or boarding house and
providing there are no other dogs on
the premises. He must be kept iso-
lated six months, and the owner must
show him at any time of day or night
to members or officers of the dog
board or to any local authority, from
the village constable up to the mayor,
whenever any of them chooses to call
for him. This makes it pleasant for
the constable, the dog and the owner.
During the period of detention, if the
dog is taken out for exercise, large
robust man must hold him all the time
and he must be clothed becomingly
in wire muzzle. That makes 1t
pleasant for the dog. 1t is impossible
to tell just how the law would work
in case of admission, for it is believ-
ed that no man, woman, or dog has
been daring or ingenious enough to
try it.

Things were very real to John. They
caused him much thought. When he
read a story book, he wondered where
the little boys and girls went to
school, and what they did besides
what was told of them In the book.
They are not real folks" said his
mother one day; -the people make
them to amuse children like you.",
Are the stories lies then?" asked
John, quite horrifed.
"Oh, mol" said his mother, trying
not to smile: they are like your
Mother Goose, just make-believes!"
After that, little John divided every
thing into two classes: true things"
and "make-b believesn

study geography. He knew that the

Greek words, Geo" the earth, and

They were studying about New Eng
land, and about Massachusetts, the
state In which John lived.
