Hockey for Ladies. Game Much Ad-
mired In England Attempt TO Arouse
Interest In This Country American
Girls Would Excel In 1t.
HocKEY CONES NEXT.

Hockey for the ladies, long the vogue
In England, Is now about to be intro
duced in this country by an energetic
young Englishwoman who has come to
America and to Boston for the express
purpose Of inspiring in our girls an
interest in this SPORTY Miss Constance
Applebee, the sister of the Rev. J. H.
Applebee, the minister at Theodore
Parker's church, West Roxbury, thinks
that there is no game to compare with
this one, for which she is to be sponsor
hereabouts.
1T is most extraordinary" she says,
that the game has not already been
introduced to the American schools
and colleges. In England, Girton col
lege at Cambridge, and Somerville col
lege at Oxford, have splendidly coached
teams. The two great girls schools,
Wykeham Abbey and the Roedean
school, also have well-known teams,
and indeed it would be difficult to find
In England a high school of standing
or a preparatory school for women
that does not boast Of its hockey
eleven.
THE All-England Women's Hockey
association was founded in 1895, and
ever since then there have been
matches played throughout the king
dom. The All-England team is com
posed of the best players in England
picked from the winners at the county
matches. 1t has played matches with
the teams from Ireland and from
Wales, and it still remains invincible.
During my study at the hemenway
Gymnasium this summer had ample
opportunity to observe the temper and
characteristics of Americas athletic
young women, and + am certain that
they could do excellent work in hockey
were they properly coached up in It.
Regarded from the point Of healthy
muscular exercise, there Is no sport
and / know them all, basket ball, fem
cling, swimming, walking. bicycling and
golf-that compares with hockey. 1t
exercises every muscle in the body and
it is something that can be played all
through the year, except in the very
hottest and coolest days. Our English
girls play from about the end OF Sep
TENDER to the beginning Of May, with
slight interlnission about Christmas
time.

mentioned the brave Colonel Raoul
Laureston. f
He was not wealthy, bur he was the
younger son of the younger branch Of
the house Of Caraven; he had no great
patrimony; his whole fortune amount

he was soldier, born and bred; he
could never have been anything else.
He was as brave as lion; he knew not

He was knighted for his bravery.

bayonet Of a foe. He was sent to
France and to Italy. It seemed as
though his military career was ended.
1t had been terrible grief to him to
give up his profession and live abroad.
He said to his doctors:
while have life I shall hope; the
health and strength have lost may

him to return. It was strange-the
journey did him good-he was strong

wrote to the only relative he had, Lord

THE DROUTH ENDED.

The end of the drouth will be
welcomed not only by the people
Of Kansas and the adjoining states.
but by all the nation. Possibly it
will be found after an accounting is
made that the damage has not been
as serious as was anticipated, but
the danger was evident and real
enough to warrant large amount
of sorrow and apprehension.
That the drouth has had its les
sons of value cannot be doubted.
II has brought reward to foresight
and thrift and punishment to im>
providence. The farmer with the
reserve fund has been the one who
has weathered the storm, while the
day>to-day man has suffered ships
wreck. The drouth also has DEM
onstrated the value of diversified
farming and has proven the value
of winter wheat and alfalfa in Kan
sas. 1t has given striking proof
of the value Of railroads as meth>
cd Of equalizing unusual conditions
and it has demonstrated again the
superiority Of American organiza>
ton over that OF the countries
where such rad cal disturbance Of
