The Habit of Keeping a Diary.

Upon the whole the habit of diary
keeping does not deserve to be decried

public events, it may, at any rate, serve
as an exercise in prose writing and

hand, if the diary be merely parochiaL
domestic or even personal in tone the
same may be said Of it, with this add.
ed Quaitication-that at least in the
last case it may act in preserving a hu.

The storm of Sunday night was the
most severe that has occurred in this
section during the present winter. The
strong wind that blew during the en-
tire night caused the snow to pile up
in big drifts and this was especially so
in the country districts, where it is
badly drifted. The electric ears were
delayed during the forenoon, Monday,
but were again running regularly in
the afternoon and the early morning
trains were somewhat delayed. The
street crew was at it's work of clearing
the sidewalks about town at an early
hour. Monday morning. but it was well
along in the afternoon before the large
amount of snow that fell was satisfac-
torily removed. The snow bill for this
storm will be heavier than those of any
previous storm and some time will
eIapse before the travelling in the
country will be settled.

formed will be good one with a good
number of home games-more than
usual. A game with Maine for the
forenoon of Memorial day has been ar
ranged and this ought to draw a large
crowd.
The program prepared for this even
ing in the gymnasium promises to be
all right. There will be two basketball
games and a boxing bout. The sopho-
mores and freshmen will play a pre-
liminary game that will probably be OF
the red hot variety, as both classes
have strong teams. The game between
the Varsity and Oak Grove will follow
Oak Grove has good, strong team,
this winter, and is capable of making
it warm for Colby all right. The box
ing bout will be put in when there is
opportunity and will probably be be-
tween .'Bill' Cowing and Bobby Vail
as these men are among the best in
college with the gloves.
This will be the first big public game
in the gymnasium, but there is plenty
of room to handle a large crowd. The
posts have been removed, leaving the
whole of the floor clear and there will
be lots of room for settees outside the
surface with a good chance for all to
see. Several hundred people can be
accommodated with ease. 1t is expect
ed that there will be big crowd pres
ent and full value in sport for the
money is assured to every one.

The Ice Races.

The storm of Sunday night put the
race track on the river in a very bad
condition and it has been necessary to
make some changes in the plans for
the races that were announced for
Wednesday afternoon. The amount of
snow that fell during the storm will
make an extra expense of some $35 or
so and the fact that the course Will
have to be widened to accommodate
the expected large entry will make an
other addition to this expense. On ae-
count of this and the shortness of the
time before the race in which to secure
funds to meet this expense, the time
for the races has been changed to Fri
day afternoon at 100 o'clock. Also
from the fact that the entrance to
either class has no fee attached to it.
and from the unexpected large expense,
the management of the track finds it
necessary to cut the purse down to 25
bushels of oats for each race. From
the fact that no entries for out-of-town
horses have been made it is again an
nounced that the races, in each class
are open for all--for horses from any
section. The classes are free-for-all
pace and a free-for-all trot and entries
are solicited for either class. Applica-
tons for entries may be made to Sec.
Frank L. Gray. Gardiner. and the en-
tries will close at s o'clock Thursday
evening. This race will doubtless bring
together the fastest horses in this re-
gion and an unusually good race and
plenty of excitement is assured

ANOTHER HITCH.
The Allied Powers Ask Big
Figures of Venezuela.
Germany and Italy Demand Larger
Payments Than Can Be Made.
Just What the Allies Mean Is Hard
to Determine.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Although Mr..
Bowen and the other negotiators are
closely guarding the provisions of the
several protocols, it is understood, to-
night, that the demands which are
known to exist in the German and
Italian agreements as they are at pres
ent drafted. which Mr.. Bowen cannot
agree to, concern an increased pay
ment by Venezuela prior to the hand
ing down of The Hague's decision re-
garding the allies contention for pref
erential consideration in the settlement
of their claims.
1t is reported that Germany asks
that she receive in addition to the $27,-
500 cash that Mr.. Bowen has agreed TO
pay, certain percentage of the Gus
toms receipts until the remainder of the
100000 demanded in the original ulti-
matum addressed by Germany to Pres
ident Castro. last autumn, is paid
Italy, it is believed is insisting on 4
similar demand, though the amount
asked for in her ultimatum was over
100000. Both Germany and Italy sug.
gest that this money be paid in MONTH
ly installments out of the customs re-
ceipts. but even under this arrange
ment it would require eight months for
the payment of the entire sums.
1t is the principle, however, to which
Mr. Bowen SO strenuously objects and
which he has informed the German and
Italian ENJOYS he cannot subscribe 10.
Until their protocols are relieved of
these Objectionable demands, Mr.. Bow
en- says that they must remain unsign-
ed. He contends that Germany and
Italy are insisting on preferential
treatment, Il question which they agree
in their protocols shall go to The
Hague.
It is the firm opinion of both the
Italian ambassador and the German
minister that the insertion in their pro-
tocols of these demands is the result of
a serious misunderstanding on the part
of their foreign office of certain phases
of the negotiations which were suppcs-
ed to be settled. They are using every
effort to have this misunderstanding
cleared up and have informed Mr.. Bow
en- they hope to submit their ccnven-
tons to him in a few days.
Published reports that Germany in
Guided in her protocol a demand for
al apology from President CASIO or
his resignation is news to Mr.. Bowen
and of course would not be considered.

COLBY ATHLETICS.
Baseball Practice About to Begin
Great Basketball, Tonight.

The regular work of the baseball
squad at Colby will commence, this
week, and it is expected that there will
he about Is men out at the start. The
work will be continued regularly and
systematically until the outdoor work
can begin. The material is excellent
and the chances for the team seem to
be very bright at present. A game has
been arranged with Harvard and will
be one of the very first played by the
team. The boys would have preferred
to have had this game come later in
the season when the team would be in
better shape, but this could not be ar
ranged.
Horace Newenham will coach the
team. this season, taking it at the be-
ginning of the spring term and staying
with it until the close This will mean
a good deal. as no better man could be
found anywhere for the Colby team,

captained winning team there. and
also knows the game from A to q.

Director Chapman of the Maine Musi-
cal Festival. was present at the re-
hearsal of the Cecilia Club in the Con-
gregational vestry, last evening, to
take note of the progress that is being
made and to polish up and give in
structions in the finer points of the mu-
sic. He had a good many words of
praise and commentator for the work
of the chorus, some criticism, but no
fault finding. He seemed pleased on
the whole with what was being done.
Several times he took occasion to men,
ton the fact that he believed that the
Waterville chorus could sing a certain
passage better than any other of his
smaller choruses. There was a pretty
lively time for about two hours and
then he took the train and fitted away
to the next place.

An old engineer says that on a night
like Sunday when two engines are haul
ing a train as they were No. 2, the en-
gineers have to run good deal by the
sound and feeling, for it is almost i'm
possible to see any distance ahead.
But an engineer usually knows every
inch of his road and can always tell
just where he is by the sound in pass
ing culverts, the curves and landmarks
by the way. In this way he is able to
whistle for every crossing and station
and knows just when to look for his
signals. Even then good deal has to
be taken for granted and it's never any
pleasure trip running double in a snow
storm

General Orders, No. Z, was published,
Monday, promulgating information as
to who are eligible and the conditions
of admission to the Army and Navy
General Hospital at Hot Springs, Ark.
1t seems that many veterans have gone
directly to the hospital and expected
to be admitted there Immediately upon
proof of their service, and the surgeon
general of the army desires that this
erroneous impression be corrected as
far as possible. Honorably discharged
soldiers of the regular and volunteer
army are eligible only when there are
vacant beds, and must first obtain an
order for admission from the surgeon
general of the army.
