Tip Was Violation of Club Rules, but
He Got 1t.

He Got 1t.
Robert Luce of Somerville, the au-

Of the features of this seasons ses-
sion, was recently in New York to
look after his business interests here,
says the New York Times. While In
the metropolis he delighted a party
of friends with story about certain
nameless club in Boston which has
strict regulations against gambling.
A quartet of cluD members decided
to break that rule by I; game of poker
for small stakes. So they adjourned
to one of the small rooms of the club
and called the old colored servant to
bring a pack Of cards. When he
brought them. one OF the members
queried:
John, suppose it would be some
thing utterly new in this club if we
should do such a thing as play for
money with these cards?"
The negro scratched his head and
deliberated, finally answering:
Boss, Use been wiz dis club long
time and Use seen many things
Yes, but what have you seen?'
Use seen ebry rule OBJ dis club
vi'lated 'ceptin' one
What rule is that one?"
DE rule 'gainst gibbin' tips to de
serbants."
And straightway that rule was re-
lieved of its lOneSOmeness among it's
fellows.

Had Many to Come.

During the progress of Prohibi-
tion wave that swept over Rochester
n. Y, some twenty-five years ago, the
excited popular feeling resulted in the
appointment of a committee of the
city fathers who were empowered to
Investigate the local excise situation
and to whom was given power to
summon witnesses before them.
Among those who were thus called
was the late Sam" Wilder, well
known to all RochesterianS as a citi-
zen of wealth and high social position.
as man of the world in the best
sense of the phrase, and as wit and
good fellow generally. After answer
ing many questions bearing on his
personal knowledge Of the matter un-

Titus Is Still Confident


The defeat of C.7S.s Titus, the Amer
ican oarsman' who contested for the
diamond sculls at Henley, was deeply
regretted on this side. In explanation
of his defeat Titus says: There is no
doubt in my mind that the English
know a great deal about rowing. Their
stroke certainly Is more suitable to the
English heavy water than IN the Amer
lean style, but our methods just as
certainly are best suited to our light
fast water. think it is an impossi-
bility for any crew or sculler to come
to England and win without seeing
the place before and without profes:
siOnal trainer. AS to my race with
Kelly, the winner of the diamonds, Al
though he is very tast sculler in
English water, I think I could beat
him in smooth water, with no wind.
Had been drawn against Etherington
Smith instead of Kelly ! am sure l
should have been in the final at least.
l shall leave my shall here and come
back next year. when I feel confident
that l shall win the diamonds. At any

Wise Words for Younger Generation
TO Ponder Over.
Why do you ask the teacher or some
cIassmate to solve that hard problem? ?
Do 1t yourself. You might as well let
some one else eat your dinner as do
your sums'' for you.
1t Is In studying as In eating: he
that does it gets the benefit, not he
that sees it done. In almost any
school / would give more for what
the teacher learns than for what the
best pupil learns, simply because the
teacher is compelled to solve all the
hard problems and answer the difi-
cult questions for the lazy boys.
: DO not ask the teacher to parse all
the difficult words. or to assist you In
the performance of any of your duties.
Do it Yourself Do not ask for even
a hint from anybody, Try again.
Every trial increases your ability,
ana you will finally succeed by dint
of the very wisdom and strength
gained in this effort even if at first
the problem is far beyond your Skill
It is the study and not the answer
that really rewards your pains.
Look at that boy who has succeeded
after six hours, perhaps of hard study.
How his eye is lit up with proud
joy as he marches to his class!
He recites like conqueror, and
we'll he may. His poor, weak school
mate, who gave up that same problem
after the first faint trial, now looks
upon him with something of wonder,
as superior. The problem lies there
"a great gulf between those boys
who stood, yesterday. side by side
They will never stand together as
sequals again.
The boy that did it for himself has
taken a stride upward, and what is
better still, gained strength for great
er ones. The boy who waited to see
others do it has lost both strength
and courage, and is already looking
for some excuse to give up both school
and study forever.

Prof. Hess III.

The many friends of Professor NJ
E. Hess will sincerely regret to
know that he Is very Ill and weak
from the loss of blood. Some days
since the professor had a small
growth of some kind cut from the
Inside of his nose by Drs. Wells
aud Morris. In making the cut an
artery was severed which bled pro-
fusely for abont four hours before
the hemorrhage was stopped.
Since then and before today, he
had two hemorrhages and this morn
Ing had another hemorrbage which
lasted for three hours. The
bleeding has been stopped again
but the loss of so much blood has
left the patient very weak and II
will be ten days at least before he
will be able to be out again. There
Is also danger of an other hemor'
rhage, but the attending physician,
DR.. G. B. West, thinks he has sue
ceeded In stopping the artery up SC
1t will not bleed again. The friends
of the Professor, and they arc nu'
merous, earnestly hope he will re-
cover now permaner tly.
