Already girl wants to marry one of
those four Chicago desperadoes who
were run down last week, after murder
ing seven men and wounding six others.
Probably from now until they go to the
gallows, the cells of these unspeakably
degenerate wretches will be filled with
flowers. fudge, photographs and letters
sent by that numerous class of morbid
and hysterical young women for whom
such criminals have an irresistible
attraction. .'-r.

. The report from Wisconsin that 70
men have been killed q wounded m
that state during this falls hunting
season seems almost incredible, In view
of the practical immunity from ac-
cidental shooting which the thousands
of hunters in the Maine woods have en-
loved. If the figures are correct WIS
consin holds the belt for reckless and
foolish hunters, or else human life Is
held as cheaply there as in South caro-
alma.

Next Summers War Game.

The latest word from Washington is
that the war game of next summer will
be played at Montauk Point, Long
Island, and not again at Portland as an
earlier report had stated. If this an
nouncement is made an authority,
Portland and Maine in general are
sorry to hear it, but nobody will ques-
ton that the government knows what
it is doing. 1t is agreed that the
military and naval maneuvers of
August about Portland We're of much
benefit to all concerned and especially
to the troops of the National Guard
from their actual association with
regulars in camp and in the field. 1t is
understood that next summers war
game at Montauk Point will be on
much larger scale. though it will be
without the cooperation of the navy
which will get it's summers practice
work elsewhere. The government is
said to have secured about Is square
miles, tract large enough for two
camps several miles apart, and SO
located that nobody's lawn would be
trampled when the forces met in COM
bat, and nobody's garden or orchard
,, devastated when the shades of night
had fallen.
If expectations are realized. upwards
of $4,000 men will be concentrated foi
the maneuver. New England would be
excepted to furnish about $4,000 troops
the majority from Massachusetts,; 1900
might come from New York, about
II, 900 from Pennsylvania, $500 from
Maryland and Delaware, and about 5000
from the District of Columbia, Virginia
and West Virginia, These forces, with
regular army regiments available in the
Department of the East, would make
good sized army. The National Guard
officers who know of the plan support
| it enthusiastically. There can be nc
doubt of benefits their forces woulc
receive through it. A camp OF 50'oot
men is quite a little city in itself, and
Montauk Point will be popular sum-
mer resort next year.

Millions for Athletics.

One indication of the place which
athletic sports fill in the life of the
modern college and university is shown
by the money now being spent in pro-
viding permanent athletic equipment
at these institutions. At Harvard the
new stadium, built on the plan of the
Coliseum Of ancient Rome. and costing
$3.50. 900. was thrown open only last
month" 1t was the gift of the class of
'79. At the University of Pennsylvania
they are spending 100000 on a mag
nificent quadrangle which will hold an
athletic field and gymnasium, The
Princeton gymnasium now building
will rival in elaborate equipment any
collegiate hall in the world, and it was
announced last week that Carnegie had
offered that institution 100000 for the
building of an artificial lake for rowing
purposes. A large part of the real es-
tate Columbia lately purchased for
So, 900 900 will go for an athletic field.
At the University OF Chicago the fac
ulty consider a plan for endowment of
athletics to remove Objectionable fea-
lures of an admission-f fee system to
struggles for college honors, by setting
aside 100000 to maintain sporting in
terests Of the institution. In our
own State a loyal son Of Bowdoin has
just supplemented the gift of a 5000, 900
library building with a $4,000 grand
stand of steel and stone on the beauti-
full Whittier Athletic field.
These figures show that vast sums
of money are being used to help the
colleges teach athletics, and the wis
dom and forethought of providing
such permanent equipment is hardly
to be disputed. The ultra conserva-
tive critics may get anxious at the out
look and waste much energy in useless
indictment of athletics and in deploring
their relative importance in the ex-
pense account, but wiser observers
realize that things will balance all
right in the long run and work for the
best educational ends. 1t is a good
thing for the colleges and the country,
for the players and for the spectators
that over a million people shouted
themselves hoarse at college football
games, this fall, and it means that the
race Is going forward, not backward,
that more money is now spent on ath-
letics at our colleges than was devoted
a generation ago, to the dead languages
then held to be the cornerstone of q
college education

A romance which had its inception in
Portland in the summer of 1900, reached
happy climax in Auburn Thanksgiv-
ing day when Miss Berdena B. Marston
Of that city was married to John Will
liam Banks of New York. When the
white squadron was in Portland in 1900
Miss Marston and girl friend were in
specting one of the ships. OF course the
sailors had their best foot forward and
were doing the honors of the day.
From the ranks there stepped forward
a young man who addressed the two
Auburn young women, apologiZed for
the act. but asking if they wished to be
escorted over the ship. This privilege
was accorded. For an hour the inter-
esting phases of battleship life were ex-
planned and when the moment Of part
ing came, the young man offered to
send his two guests a souvenir of the
occasion in the way of a hatband a
little later, when new ones had arrived.
The two girls thanked their acquain-
lance and said they would be pleased,
but departed laughing at the impro-
liability Of ever seeing the souvenir
Before long the promised souvenir
came. Then from Maine a letter Of
thanks was in order. So the correspon-
dence started. which continued with
increasing interest, until with the
foreign letters from the lad in the
Orient there also came, souvenirs of
ports he had seen, laces china, en-
broidery. When the chief petty officer
Of one of Uncle Sans battleships got
his discharge last September, it did not
take him long to find the way from
California up into Maine. He pushed
right up to Rrownfield. where Miss
Marston was then teaching and shook
hands with her for the second time in
their lives. after space OF over three
wears had interviewed. .MrA Banks visit
ed the young woman's parents in Au-
burn. and finally the engagement fol-
lowed and the plans were made for a
Thanksgiving wedding. MIR. and Mrs.
Banks have gone to New York city
where they are to live this winter.

3. Il should be noted that all of the ~
deaths which are said to have resulted
from football this year were of players
who had no business in the game, any
away. The statement says: the 1ea-
ture of this tabulation is that it shows
the serious casualties were confined to
unframed players. No member OF any
of the first-class elevens was killed or
permanently disabled" This IS the
kame every year. The gridiron is no

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT,
A SANDER on Randolph.
portland Ptess.A y

Behold how Maine is slandered
abroad! Here is the Springfield Re-
publican saying: "The saddest sort of
Thanksgiving anti-climax comes from
Maine, where the Randolph News says
in slow and measured tones: The mail
carrier is loaded to his fullest capacity
these days! Now what but a ribald
imagination would find a double mean
ing in that innocent remark? Why
should there be any element of sadness
in the fact that the mail carrier is
loaded to his fullest capacity? 1t may
indeed be hard on the carrier to have
to puff and sweat and bear parcels and
packages but think what satisfaction it
means to the recipient! Think what
straw it is in showing how the fall trade
blows! Full mails mean brisk cores
pondence, brisk business and a lively
opening Of the winter trade. Why then
should there be any note of sadness in
1T? Or does the Springfield common
tator take it the sense that the carrier
| is an inebriated individual whose daily
wont is to come up the road marking
out the line of a Virginia rail fence! If
that is so, it is in order to inform him
shat we have no such mail carriers in
Maine. Nor is there any such journal
published in the state as the Randolph
News 1t is safe to pronounce the item
apocrVphal

More Sunshine.

Did you ever feel the sunshine singing
through your soul
When some blessed boost of fortune sent
you spinning toward your goal?
Did you ever have some sorroW-SaVlng
sinner sigh and say:
DO not be sure, my laddie, too self-
confident, too gay,
For another day is coming when things
may be changed, you know
Thus he wheathes your joyous spirits in q
winding sheet OF woe.
Spurn these gloom-pursuing mortals,
shun the worry seeking man;
Know no trouble till it strikes you-sing
OF sunshine when you can.
When the troubles come and smite us,
then it's hard enough to bear
He who seeks for clouds is foolish when
his sky is blue and fair;
Keep the bitter from your testing. Keep
the sting from out Your chaff,
And the wcariest weight Of worry can be
lghtened by your laugh.
Sing a while-no doleful ditty with tear
in every line;
Sing a while-no soulful sonnet with sue
cessive sob and whine
Sing song that sends the sunshine to
the soul of striving man;
Laughter let's love linger longer-So be
jolly while you can.
