ing. This Is the story:
AN African chief converted and
moved to London, where he wore fash
ionable clothes and behaved In every
way as an irreproachable man. one
day he was giving lecture I'm a
church on the advantages Of peaceful,
civilized life. His collar did not fit well,
and in attempting to adjust it he tore
open the buttonhole.
The ripping shirt band brought back
all his old savagery and he shouted
out that civilization was all a sham.
and he wished he was back i'm his old
life. Whereupon he pulled off his col
lar, his coat and trousers, and finally
stood in the garb of the unadorned
savage. Then he set fire to the church
and took to the woods.
IF his buttonhole had been little
stronger added DR.. Parkhurst, "he
would probably have remained an ir-
reproachable man the rest of his life.
That's the way with much of our civil
lization and virtue. A very small thing
will reveal the real conditions"

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-.For the first time
in the history of Americas cup contests a

much wind To-day the third of the pres
ent series of races was to have been sailed.
Following the futile attempt of Thursday,
when there was not enough wind to COM

earnestly hoped by yachtsmen that to-day $
contest would be decisive and the series
completed. Ten hours of Thursdays drift
ing storm broke over the cup course and
ragged about Sandy Hook. The water was
tumbled into waves that troubled even an
ocean liner. The wind blew with a velocity
estimated between forty and fifty miles and
the rain driven before it obscured the vision
beyond a mile or two. Within the shelter
ing bend of Sandy Hook, where the two
racing yachts rode at their mornings, the
water was comparatively quiet this morn
ing, while across the sandy peninsula on
the ocean side the surface doomed as it
broke upon the beach.
At o'clock the regatta committee met at
the New York Yacht Clubhouse and
named Monday as the day for the next
race. 1t was also decided to hold the races
every day thereafter until the international
contest is decided. The decision to race
every week day was reached by mutual
agreement between the challenge commit
tee of the New York and Royal Ulster
yacht clubs.

miniature yachts, one bearing the Ameri-
can and the other the Irish flag. When
these were placed before the mlitiamen a
stranger at an adjoining table arose. took
the Irish flag from the Captains favor and
placed il above the American. The cap
tains indignant response was to cast the
green emblem upon the floor. Instantly
the faces of the three men flushed with
anger, and there was heated alteration
Scores of diners, many of whom were wom-

into the street and summoned an officer.
The latter refused TO arrest the obstreper-
