part in a number of athletic meets,
and on the strength of his worlds
record performance will be an object of
considerable interest abroad. For
many years the foreigners have been
trying to develop men Like Wefers and.
Duffy, but with little success.
East and west the pole vault was a
matter of exciting competition, and
records were broken at each place.
But in the "Big Nine" meet the unex-
pected happened when first honors
were not given either to Capt. Dvorak.
of Michigan, or Jerome Magee, of Chi
cago. The pole vault had been looked
upon as a dual affair, in which case
these men had everybody beaten. But
when the bar had been moved to II
feet 6h inches-just a half inch higher
than the record height held by Dvorak,
what was the surprise of thousands of
spectators to see H. T. Chapman, the
Drake student, clearit, and Dvorak and
Magee wearied by the strain of the
afternoon fail to clear it. True. the
record was broken, but only a half
inch. When Dvorak clears a bar he
generally does it with inches to spare.
Had the Michigan man been a
little more fortunate, the desired II
feet and say 10 inches might have been
accomplished. AS it was the little

a record he said with all the fervor
of a college athlete. "Good for you,
Georgia." said the trainers and coaches,
and when Keachie returned to his
varsity, at Madison, he was a hero.
Wisconsin had missed points it had
been depended upon to get and this
helped Michigan to win premier
honors.
Twice within a few days did John r.
Dewitt, the idol of Princeton students,
defeat Plaw, the young California ham
mer thrower. The last defeat given
to the boy who is said to have thrown
the weight ITO in practice was in the
championship event at Berkeley Oval,
where he hurled it 1854 feet 10 inches.
Plaw could do no better than 1853 feet
s inches. In the dual meet with Prince
ton and California as the contestants
western critics were prone to concede
the hammer throw to Plaw. Was the
youngster from the coast who turns
around three times in the circle before
releasing the handle not the marvel Of

man who turned six times in the circle
before letting go of the weight, and
yet he could not get the distance Plaw
did. Dewitt is one of the seasoned
high-class athletes of Nassau. 1t was
predicted that when the young a
who wears a kid glove when he ESSAYS
the hammer throw went against such
a Hercules as Dewitt, the horny-handed
and seasoned athlete would beat his
marvellous work.
So, in the dual meet, when this

er he was on the gridiron for the Tigers
-.set aside Plaw's intercollegiate rec
ord of 1874 feet AZ inches with a throw
of 1854 feet Az inches he won easily
from his California rival and gave
promise of a record throw when. his
varsity needs the points in the inter-
collegiate games. Dewitt has put the
16-pound shot AZ feet 10 inches and
might have won a place in this event
at Berkeley Oval had not Beck of Yale
set a record by putting the shot two
feet further than his bestmark.
N. A. Kellogg, of Michigan, is another
of the record-breakers this year ems
titled to special mention for his prow-
ess. This wolverine two-miler, at last
years conference meet stalled off the
rush of the Badgers at the end and
won the race in 1000 3-5. He clipped
off 2 3-5 seconds this year, duplicating
his work of a year ago by taking vic,
tory from the distance men of the rival

made this great record, Duffy had to
beat Cadogan, the California Splinter.
This, Duffy did easily in 9 AS seconds
the record for intercollegiate contests
held by B. j. Wefers, who was a con-
testant in amateur events, wearing the
colors of Georgetown. Shick, of Har-
ward, was the main contestant for Duff
fy in the finals, when he made his
record, and according to the winner,
he won from Shick by summoning all
of his nerve and strength.
Getting a rather poor start, Duffy
was surprised after going about 70
yards to see that his Harvard rival
was running with a wide stride and
rather easily. Time and again Duffy

began one of the. most marvellous per-
formances a man ever made. Duffy
stepped higher than ever, dug his
spikes into the cinderpath and, throw
ing all his weight on the ball of his
foot at each step, made strides that
were eight feet or more. Hispace told,
and he took the race.
According to E. L. Sarre, the old
Mercury Foot athlete, there will not
be any disposition on the part of crit
les of athletic events to discredit the
time. Four of the best men who ever
held a split watch on a field of sprinters
caught the time. All agreed, with one

gum more vigorously than ever, and
vaulted off the tie for second place
with his rival, Magee, winning the
points and getting the same height as
the Drake man got. In the east, DIS.
Horton, the Princeton man, broke the
record, clearing the bar at II feet Z
inches. Here the mark was only a
half inch better than that made in the
"Big Nine meet. In practice, Horton,
Dvorak and Magee all have done better
than IL feet z inches. Whythen could
not these athletes make it a little bet
ter in the competition? No trainer
will undertake to tell. butit is thought
that nervousness develops so rapidly
when the bar gets over II feet
men are bothered in the take off and do
not get the full vault. Besides. the
vaulters who have had poles break
under them while vaulting. become
timid when the bar gets so high they
have to use all their force to get over.
A break, and-well, the jagged point
is quite likely to pierce the athlete,
and make a,fatalwound. Coach Knipe,
of Iowa, who was one of the interested
spectators of the conference meet, said
he would advocate the sheathing OF
vaulters poles with a casing of alumni
nun, so that in cast the tough wood
splintered the pole would not have a
ragged and jagged point.
Of all the men who captured record
honors, the little University of Wiscon-
sin student, George R. Keachie, who
reduced the mile run record from
4:33 to 4:31 2-5, is the most unlike the
proverbial miller the critics know
about. Keachie won when the cele-
brated Capt. Hahn, OF the Badger
team, was unable to do better than
fourth. Five minutes after he had trav-
ersed those four laps of hard cinders,
Keachie was attired in his street
clothes, darting in and out among the
athletes taking snap shots with a 4x5
camera for his own personal photo
graph album. Not a trace Of weari-
ness appeared in his makeup. Why,
a moment after he had finished in the
lead of the bunch of weary athletes,
this lad was standing in front of me,
waving to his student friends in the
crowd and exchanging greetings with
the coaches and trainers. 'I've made

The tyranny fell like a thunderbot on the loyal Firms. The ink
of the Peace Rescript was hardly dry before the Emperor sent of.
his War Rescript to Finland. While the Cars conference sat at
The Hague, there arrived in Finland, in an irregular way, a manifesto
from the Grand Duke who sits on Fnlands throne-the Car him
self. The army, according to this document-which, though openly
violating the Constitution, was declared to have the force and sane
ton to the reserves which would bring the military force of Finland
up to 100000 men. Every man was to enter the army, to serve five
years, to be liable in time of peace to be called to any part Of the
great Russian empire. The control o. the army wa to be taken from
the Firms and handed over to Russian officers. The Finnish army, in
short, was to be denationalzed and CONSUMPTION was to be imposed on
Finland in its worst form-a change utterly uncaled for, and in fla
grant violation of the oaths of three generations of emperors, and Of
Car Nicholas himself, who had sworn to uphold the Constitution of
Finland, which gives the Firms Joint control with the Emperor of the
affairs of the nation.
Finland is not alone in her resistance to the Car. LOVERS OF
despot1sm of Russia is a fearful and wonderful thing. A deputation
which went to see the Car, with a petition from a thousand Of the
leading men of Europe, the most eminent men in science, art and lit
erature, came home again without seeing him. 1t is not a pleasant
subject for the friends of Russia to reflect upon, and it is not easy to
defend the Gar in face Of it. 1t is pretty much the same as if Eng
land swept away the Government of Canada and ruled the Dominion
with a rod of iron from London. If Finland is compelled to bend be-
meath the Russian yoke, there will be one less among the free nations
of the earth. The Firms will be as the Russian peasants. The cloud
storm has broken. Eight thousand Firms have left their country
rather than wear this yoke about their necks, and soon, unless the Car

by a distinct and admirable quality Of imagination, which are the work
of men Of large and exacting material affairs. Ali this nisapprehen-
sion comes from the foolish and unwarranted assumption that the
IDEAL and the PRACTICAL are necessarily in CONFLICT. There
is a specous and superficial Idealty which is always at odds with the
Practical; and here is where this false sentiment, this popular error,
gets its foothold. THE TRULY IDEAL AND THE TRULY PRAC-
TICAL ARE ALWAYS AT ONE. There is no conflict between
these. If this were not so the Sermon on the Mount and the bright
est gems of Shakespeares wisdom would be mere sentiment. But
they are not; they are intensely practical. What is there in the fac
uHies which make for large business success to disquaEfy or unfit
their possessor to succeed in literature? Nothing! Keen observa-
ton, the capacity to read human character, the ability to unravel mo-
tives and grasp methods of action, the ability logically to forecast the
results of given conditions and movements-these are the demands
which are constantly made upon the man who triumphs in the bust
ness world. And they are the very fundamentals of literary success
as well. The day has long since past when it is safe to presume that
the man who has made an independent fortune is a stranger to Litera-
ture, to the delights Of poetic fancy and the fine flights of Imagination.
In fact, only the man who has a certain degree of imagination is fitted
for great achievements in the world of Practical Affairs.
BECAUSE A MAN HAPPENS 70 BE ENGAGED IN THE
BUILDING OF w OF RAILROADS OR OF EMPIRES
is NO SIGN THAT HE CANNOT BUILD BOOKS. Rather is it
an indication that he has the force and viriity TO THINK. And
this is what is required in the making of Literature.

crime of the century," as a brave diplo-
matist called it, is proceeding apace in Finland,
and the Car of Peace is crushing a gallant people
under the force of the sword. The world is full
Of mystery and contradiction, and truth lies, in
deed, at the bottom Of a we'll. The friendship Of
the nations, the inevitable condition Of a world
at peace, is still a poets dream, and one begins to
wonder if, after all, the world was treated to a
huge joke when Nicholas II. summoned the ma
tons to lay down their arms at The Hague. For
the same Nicholas IL, who called Europe to stop
before the cataclysm burst upon the peoples, is
