Washington University students are
neither saying anything now nor saving
wood as regards athletics. They will begin
training when the regular outdoor season
opens. but most of them are in pretty
fair shape at any time as a result of the
skating and handball playing they do. 1t is
likely that the Washington men will do
their preparatory work at the St. Louis A

that organization.

athletes are concerned.
Washington will endeavor to develop a
pole vaulter or two this season. in order
TO avoid the ridiculous spectacle which
was witnessed at the field day last
year when there was not a man entered
who could vault the bar at any height, not
even five feet.

Outside OF Walter Randall, the High
School athletes are doing nothing to pre-
pare for the field days. The latter is play
ing enough hockey to keep him in good
condition through the winter and should
be bigger and stronger than ever this
spring. Randall Is ambitious to be an ath-
letic success. as he will enter Harvard next
fall. and wants to uphold the honor of ST.
Louis for producing good athletes.
Randall Is one OF the few prep" school
boys who have the size and general appear
ance Of successful track athletes As a
matter OF fact IL Is some time since St
Louis has sent track athlete to an East
ern college. Most OF the boys from thi,
city go in for football, baseball and rowing
while there Is at present not one St Louis
boy in any OF the great institutions OF
varsity track team Some Of them have
gone so far as to captain the freshman
track outfit and then take up baseball or
football
Randall Is about the most promising
hurdler In the city. He has never done any
thing with the weights In competition. but
paid considerable attention to those events
last summer. and gave promise of develop
ing into a frst-class shot putter and ham,

crimson coaches will spy him out and make
him play. which will require very little
urging. indeed. and he will lose several
months that could be devoted to improving
his style and speed in the track events IL
IS great honor tomake an Eastern eleven,
but St Louis boys are doing this with reg
ularity cf late, and now a good track man
would be very welcome novelty.

EVERYDAY EXPRESSIONS.
origin of Some of Our Common
Words and Phrases.


Philologists trace the word "hurrah"-
or Murray" the older form-back 10 the
warcry of the Morse vikings, which was
"Tur ale or, being translated. Thor

"uim bog" pronounced hum bug and
meaning bogus money. James II coined
debased money from his mint in Dublin
the 20 shilling piece being worth only
twopence, and the people called it 'uim

Successful Entertainment by the
Union Veterans Union.

SucCeSSful entertainment 0y the
Union Veterans Union.
The progressive euchre party held last
night at the National Rifles Hall, under
the auspices of the Union Veterans Union,
was a decided success. 1t is estimated
that over 1000 tickets had been sold. The
tables which filled the large hall were all
occupied, and besides there were many who
watched the game from the raised seats
along the walls. Gen. John F. Meacham,
the division commander, made a brief ad-
dress, explaining the rules under which
the game would he played, and referred to
the sixty prizes which were displayed ON
the stage and which represented an ag-
gregate value of about $4OO. Playing COM
menced at $3.50 o'clock and the fifteen
games weres finished In about two hours.
Then the prizes were awarded The first
prize for the ladies, handsome ladies'
gold watch, was won by Mrs. M. A. Hall,
who had fourteen games to her credit.
Gentlemen could not compete for this
watch. The next prize, gentleman's gold
hunting-case watch, which was competed
for by both ladies and gentlemen, was won
by Sallie E. Sisson, one of those who nan
thirteen games to her credit. The other
prizes were drawn for by groups who had
won twelve eleven and ten games, re-
spectively, and all were distributed by
II 80 o'clock.
The general committee in charge of the
affair consisted of John F. Meacham chair
man; c.. H. Warden, floor manager and

Required to Pay at Scheduled Rates.

Mr.. Thomas w. Smith recently wrote to
the District Commissioners stating that
the Eastern Dispensary and Casualty Hos
pital would be unable to install a water
meter because of the scarcity of funds and
the floating debt hanging over the institu-
ton. 1t was thought that in this manner
the institution might be allowed the free
use Of so many gallons OF water, as is the
case in other institutions of the kind, and
pay for any in excess of that amount. Wa
ter Registrar Green reports that while the
matter Of water rent for the institution was
under consideration the water rent, ac-
cording to scheduled rates for premises
without meters. was paid. Captain Ches-
ter Harding, assistant to the Engineer Com
missioner, says that since the authorities
of the Casualty Hospital are not in condi-
tion to install meter, it would seem to be
impossible to determine whether or not
the amount of water authorized to be fur
nfshed gratis would be exceeded. He rec
commended that a bill for the scheduled
water rates be served
The matter was finally referred to the
board of charities, and Secretary Wilson
reports that the board is unable to suggest
any solution of the question other than
that indicated by Captain Harding. In or
der to comply with the law it would seem
that the institution must either install a
meter or pay the usual water tax.
