 A giant stadium is to be built. This will probably be left standing as mon- ument to athletics. All the best known athletic performers of America and Eu- rope will compete in their various spe- cialties, and the leading teams in diff feFent branches of sport will also be on hand to strive for worlds fair honors. The coming games will undoubtedly be the greatest ever held al any one meet in any country. Every branch of an cient and modern sport will be repre- scented and visitors from all parts of the globe will attend.

Exposition Director of Sports.

z, s. . q u
 The question as to who will be the di- rector of sports for the exposition is now under discussion. The director of sports should be man of wide, intri- cate and authoritative knowledge on every phase of athletics. and many vet erans declare that the logical man for the position is James B. Sullivan, the well known secretary of the Amateur Athletic union and the dominating fig- ure of American athletics.
 MT. Sullivan has been before the pub lie as an authority on athletics for many years. He has officiated at inter- collegiate and club meets fom Canada to the gulf of Mexico and has person ally conducted more than 300 meetings, eighty or ninety of which were held for the purpose of deciding national cham pionships. These carnivals he conduct ed as either chairman or member of the A. A. U. championship committee, the chairmanship of which he has held for fifteen years.

downcast eyes and mantling cheeks
at the side of some young gallant who
had no thought for other duty than
that of the thrilling moment. And
here they were, well-nigh dozen of
them, of all ages from 10 to 20, as the
major sent his mount to the stables
and made quick survey of the scene,

Where ferns and MOSES fringe the

And drowsy droning fills the summer

The leaves that rustic as she trips along,
The whisper coming with each dalliant

And chirp and chatter where the squir-

I love to breathe the first sweet life of

The olive branch that March and April
bring,
The whisper from each tender budding

And came up gayly from their winter

That rise and fall with every zephyr's

change on certain of the customary
spectators. He had swiftly ridden
to the camp of the recreant Stabber
and purposely demanded speech with
that influential chicftain. There had
been the usual attempt on part Of the
old men left in charge to hoodwinle
and to temporize, but when sharply
told that Stabber, with his warriors,
had been seen riding away toward
Eagle Butte at three in the morning,
the sagcs calmly confessed Judgment,
but declared that they had no other
purpose than Il hunt for drove of
elk reported seen about the famous
Indian race course in the lower hills
of the Big Horn. Circling the camp,
however, Webb had quickly counted
the pony tracks across the still dewy
bunchgrass of the bench, and found
Schreiber's estimate substantially
correct. Then, stopping at the lodge
of Stabbcr's uncle, old Spotted
Horse" where that superannuatcd
but still sagacious chief was squatted
on his blanket and ostentatiously
putting long Indian pipe, Webb de-
manded to know what young men re-
manned in the village. Over hundred
strong, old men, squaws and children,
they thronged about him, silent, big
eyed and attentive, Schneider inter
prcting as best he could, resorting to
the well-known sign language when
the crafty Sioux protested ignorance
of the meaning of his words:-

positive declaration of the venerable
head of the bailiwick, when compelled

THERE'S TROUBLE AHEAD
Other States Must Not Use a Mime
sofa Liable on Cheese.
From Woduosdov,c Daily

The Minneapolis Journal Washington
correspondent writes as follows:
"There is trouble ahead for those who
make Minnesota or Wisconsin fullcream
cheese or creamery butter in some other
state and place it ON the market as an
article of interstate commerce. Congress
legislated against that practice in 1902,
but the law has not been enforced. How
ever, the secretary of agriculture is con-
WINGED it should be made operative and
he has co-operated with the attorney
general to that effect with excellent re-
suits, and there will be ''things DOING for
violators of the law from this time on.
Violation is a misdemeanor punish
able by fine of from S. to $1,000.
Although there is no disposition on
the part of Secretary Wilson to make
this law burden he is determined that
some of the glaring evils which might be
corrected by it's application shall cease.
To this end he has submitted several
cases of food products wrongly labeled
as to place of manufacture to Attorney
General Knox, who has responded by rem
dering just the construction That was
wanted and not only has the attorney
general made the application as to goods
manufactured in this country, but he has
construed the law in connection with
the act giving the department of agri-
culture authority over foreign food pro-
duets, which may be brought to this
country and then labeled falsely regard
ing the place of their origin"
