KICK NOT APPRECIATED.
Drummer Gets Scant Comfort From
the Landlord.

Twenty years or so ago the now fash
ionable resort of Bar Harbor boasted of
but one hotel, which, according to a
former Baltimorean, who now resides in
Maine, was not much to boast of.
1t seems that a New York travelling
salesman had occasion to visit Bar Har-
Dor to sell goods, and naturally WAS
obliged to make his headquarters at the
solitary hotel The day after his arrival
he came down stairs in anything but q
pleasant frame of mind and, as drum
mers do occasionally. he proceeded to
criticise the house in rather severe terms,
something like this:
What, $3.50 4 day for little room
under the roof. And your holsters and
pillows are stuffed with straw and the
mattress is full of corncobs. Besides, 1
haven't had anything TO eat here except
fish and potatoes. and no much of that
When he completed his TRADE grey
bearded. longfaced, solemn-looking old
chap. who had been listening to the sccr-
ing which was spoken to the clerk, arose
in the background and, looking over the
top of his speetacles, addressed the indig
nant travelling salesman in a voice that
seemed to come from the depth of bass
viol.
Look here. my friend" said he. did

wANDER1NGs OF WORDS.
Two Separate Terms Finally Become
Associated.

Isn't it strange to think of a word
"wandering?" We like to hear a traveller
tell his adventures, of the countries he
has seen, the people he has known. Do
you know that some words are expert
enced travellers and could tell a wonderful
tale of new lands and changed customs
Just take, for instance, the word .'bu-
reau" Should you think it had any con-
nection with the word fire." In old
Greek days there was a word "pur," or
fire" Then the Latins needed it for
"fiery red." and they made it burrus."
Presently 1t wandered to France and be-
came "buire." meaning reddish brown"
For long time it lived there until it
grew to be in modern French 'bure," a
rough woOlen cloth.
The Frenchmen used the cloth to cover
their writing tables, SO these were called
bureau" Next the Government officials
borrowed the word, for their valuable
papers were kept in the writing tables,

The Two DrS. Koch
And Their Great German Discover
les and Inventions.

Several years ago DR.. Robert Koch
perfected his tuberculine medicine for the
cure of Consumption.
1t was the first remedy that ever did
cure this fata. disease, although by in
lection it succeeded only to limited ex-
tent.
Two years later the wonderful 1nhala-
tion Machine for the vaporlZing of heal
ing oils. combined with this Koch Tuber-
culine. was invented and imported into
this country by DR.. Edward Koch. By
the use of this invention oily vapors,
combined with the tubercuiine medicines,
are brought directly to the lungs at the
seat of the disease. and thousands of peo-
pie in many cities have testified to being
cured. Since these two systems were
combined the patients and offices have
been under the direct control of DR.. Ed
ward Koch.
The old way of swallowing medicine
into the stomach kills more people than
the disease itself. DR.. Koch attends this
office, 621 Street northwest Washing
ton, D. c., regularly. Consultation is
free.
DR.. Koch has spent lifetime in the
treatment and cure of Consumption and
Asthma and is now making a trip of in
vestigation of the American Koch Lung
Cure Offices, which can be found in most
Of the large cities. In addition to Wash
ington, Offices are established at 4S West

expects to win the pennant it should play

seemed to wind the players in their

should see that his men get all the proper
training.

OF INTEREST TO
LOCAL ATHLETES.
RECORDS OF 1901 ARE ACCEPTED.
Insurgents Recognized by a. a. u
v. VI. c. A. League Teams.
Eastern 4. c. Again
in the Field.

The Middle Atlantic Association, other
wise known as the insurgents tcom
posed mainly of athletic clubs in Balti-
more). which for nearly three years has
been fighting for recognition at the hands
of the Amateur Athletic Union, gained its
point at last weeks annual meeting OF
the union. The clubs involved petitioned
that they be not only allowed member
ship in the union, but that their organi-
zation be allowed representation on the
national board. All this was granted and
henceforth there should be smooth sailing
in athletics in this very active division Of
the national body.
The athletic clubs interested in this
matter represent Delaware, Maryland,
Virginia, District of Columbia, North and
South Carolina. and their organization
will henceforth be known as the Middle
Atlantic Division Amateur Athletic Union,
and not any longer the Atlantic Associa-
ton, as was the case before the clubs in
Baltimore and vicinity seeded three years
ago. The latter organization name was
maintained by the clubs which did not
secede, but it was by no means active in
athletics.
New Handicapper VIII he Elected.
The insurgents" had twelve clubs,
which included the Woodside Athletic
Club of this city, one of the most active
here. being composed of college men, and
the organization with which it affiliated
has in three years held ten sets of games
with $50 active competitors, who per-
formed before an attendance of nearly
30, 000 spectators.
The new order of things brings the
Woodsides in line locally with the Y. NJ.
c. A., CAROLS, and the National Guard
Athletic Association, who retained their
membership in the old Atlantic Division.
AS a result of this, the local athletics
should take on considerable of a boom,
and among the first things brought about
by the new organization, will be the hold
ing here, later in the season, of an ANA
teur Athletic Union handicap indoor meet.
Another great gain made by the petit
TONERS. was the making of tho rule that
henceforth the Handicapped of the as
ISOLATION will be elected by the delegates
instead of being appointed by the chair
man of the union

are President. E. B. Babb; Vice Pres-
dents. w. Fl. Liginger, DR.. B. NJ. Hopkin-

The Press Association states that
German guns are being brought into this
country from the balance OF the large
contracts placed On the Continent at the
time when British manufacturers were
unable to turn out sufficient guns to meet
the demands OF the war. Even now the
big factories in this country are working
at high pressure in order to fulfill their
engagements with the Government for the
supply OF the ordnance required for re-
arming the coast defence batteries and
the volunteer artillery. No guns for the
protection of the coast are being brought
from the Continent.
