SHoRTCAKE AND DISCIPLINE.
College Crew Gave Way to Their Ap.
Detites, but the Outcome was
Very Satisfactory.

The sternness of the Roman father re-
sembles that which must be exercised
sometimes by trainer of athletes. Tho
coach Of the Cornell university boat
crews is 40 strict as any such disciple
marian, as he demonstrated on a certain
occasion when he had an eight-oared
crew "at the pink of perfection" The
squad had been moved to Poughkeepsie,
says the New York Telegraph, and upon
its first trial spin was conceded by ex-
perts to have the race as gocl as won.
Nothing remained but to keep the men
In condition. rtf
Sad to say, it was the strawberry
shortcake season. Exactly three days be-
fore the race against the picked crews OF
the eastern universities, five members OF
the Cornell crew encountered In a
Poughkeepsie restaurant strawberry
shortcake like those that mother used
to make" Possessed Of appetites that
months of steady exercise had built, up,
they devoured the shortcake even to the
last crumb.
The news of that breach Of discipline
came speedily to the ears Of Coach Court
ney. The next morning five shamefaced
young athletes stood before him, and by
their humility acknowledged that they
had strayed from the narrow path.
"Out you go!" said Mr.. Courtney.
But the five believed that in numbers
lay their strength. "You can't row a
boat race with only crew OF three!"
they exclaimed in unison.
1T would be quite the same If the
whole boat load Of you had done this
thing" replied Courtney. "Go!"
That afternoon new crew represented
the red and white in the practice spins
up and down the Hudson. Newspaper
reporters Immediately rushed to the
telegraph offices and wired to their
chiefs: Cornell practically out Of the
race! Five substitutes will row in the
race day after tomorrow" Mr.. Court
ney said nothing.
Gray-haired alumni who were begin
ming to reach Poughkeepsie in order to
cheer their college crew to victory called
upon the coach and begged him to re-
scind his order. Still he maintained sill
ence. A formal protest from the under
graduate body was placed before him.
His eyes merely looked away into space.
The five deposed men waited upon him
again, admitted they had erred, but de-
clared that tho one shortcake had
wrought no evil.
Then and only then Courtney thun-
dered: "Obedience to discipline is a
fundamental rule of this navy! Co."
Many readers will remember the out
come Of that race-how the five substi-
tutes proved to be as good as, or better
than, the regulars, and how they simply
romped over the course in record time,
winners by several lengths. "Shortcake
did it," was the Cornell slogan that
Night.
II really didn't expect my boys to win
after that shake-up," explained Mr..
Courtney after the race, "but knew that
I never should have to contend with
shortcake again."

In haste, guilt is written in his face and
in hers. In madness, he denounces her.
She meets his reproach in open-eyed in
nocence as one misunderstood. She
uses her dimples well, her dimples and
her wide blue eyes and her bushes.
Bah! they sicken me. They are but
sleeps clothing. Well, he gives her a
divorce. Society is not so shocked, for
society is used to these things" He
shrugged his shoulders and lighted an
other cigar.
Society" she murmured, half aloud.
"And she marries the other man." he
continues, his voice hard and metallic,
''and she goes on dimpling and blush
ing, while the new husband loves and
humors and pets and, suppose, trusts
her."
"And the first husband ?" ventured the
listener.
"He? Oh, he smokes cigars on summer
hotel verandas and wonders If it ever
comes back to her, that first party"
She sighed.
He pulled at his cigar, looking out to
the water, where tiny light moved up
and down with the motion of a yacht,
harbor bound. Presently she spoke, her
eyes, too, on the swaying light.
"A girl is born and her first dream is
of doll. Later the dream children of
her future fill her brain. She names
them; she sees their curls, brown and
golden. They are sweet realities in her
fancy. Still later she begins to dream of
the Prince who is to come; her noble
Prince who is to love her forever. Oh,
how she loves the Prince! long, long,
before his coming. Then, one night she
goes to her first party, radiantly happy;
her heartbeats quicken with the Joy of
living, Of feeling admiring eyes upon
her. The freshness. the newness, the
wonder of it all, dazzle her. She has
crossed the border into fairyland out
of which the Prince is to come. She
waits; someone comes-she was expect
Ing the Prince-this must be he"
The light on the mast of the distant
boat had disappeared, and she was lean
ing forward, her chin resting on her
hand, looking into the geraniums that
clustered at her feet.
And she was expecting Prince" he
repeated, making wreaths of the smoke
that came from his parted lips.
''She thinks he is the Prince. Hell

is delighted and her friends look on with

CRITICISM OF THE BIBLE.
New Woman Said 1t Wss Good In
Places and "He Got Her
In the End"

A new woman mad just moved into the
netghborhood. She was of the distinct lit
erary type. Books were her hobby, says
the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Her neighbors called. One Of them in
particular seemed to desire to make IN
impression. She professed an enthu-
siasm for new books and borrowed sew
eral. The books were returned within a
few days, but always without comment
as to their contents, very much to the
disappointment of the lender.
Book after book was borrowed and re-
turned with the same result. Finally,
after two or three weeks, when the am
bilious neighbor called again, a new
morocco-bound Bible was lying on the
parlor stand. The neighbor picked it
up and glanced through it.
II believe I'd like this" was the re-
mark, the same as usual.
"Well, take It," said the obliging new
neighbor, land when you finish it let me
know how you like it," she added, with
the slightest twinkle in her eye and a
shade of suspicion in her voice.
The borrower hesitated for moment
took the book, and was gone with it for
over a week.
Finally she returned with it, laid il
where she had found it, and, thanking
her obliging friend, started to go without
word further.
"Well, how did you like it," called the
book lover after the others retreating
figure.
"Oh, don't know" was returned; Its
good in places. But he does finally get
her in the end, don't hep
The book lover is still dazed.

PAINTING LACE A FAD.
Artistic Girls Have Made the Diseovs
cry That Color Adds to Beauty
of Fabric.

The fad for painting on lace gives a
chancd to the girl who has more artistic
ideas than she has skill with her brush
A certain part of the design OF tie
lace is selected, and the color Is llgAtAy
applied. Care and lightness OF toucn are
all necessary for the amateur to succeed
as we'll as the artist. 1t is the easiest
thing in the world to bring out the
roses, and violets, and the dlnerent
wreaths, and garlands which appear III
the laces which adorn everything.
A white silk parasol with lace medal
lions can be made much more beautl1ul
by adding color to it in this way. A
simple little gauze fan with lace moths
set in becomes artistic if the tiny flowers
are painted. A pair of pink silk hose with
lace insets is worth double the price II
the small sprays Of arbutus in the de-
sign are just touched with pink.
Even the wash laces are painted IN
stead of working out the design In COL
ored cotton, as is also done on both lace
and embroidery. The painting Is far
less tedious process, and for thin gowns
is a great deal more beautiful.
To make 1t practical for trimming
wash gowns, the girls at the art instl-
tute use the little package dyes, which
are indellible, instead Of paints, Tor
their colors, and for mixer, gasoline Is
used, adding a little at time, as fast as
it evaporates. This makes color which
IS heavy enough for anything so trans
parent as lace, and which will stand the
Tubing process.
Care should be taken in selecting a
lace with a motif whose color can be car
ried out to combine artistically with that
of the gown.-Chicago Tribune.

Church without Collection Ba.kc

There is enc church in 81. Louis
which may be visited without any
fear of the collection basket being
thrust under the nose. At the Tower
Grove Baptist church, of which Rev.
Menta Sturgeon is pastor, no collec-
ton is ever taken. Nor is any money
raised by pew rents. The pastor sets
forth the principle of voluntary Civ
ing. and to this end n small box with
a slit at the top hangs before the
door, into which the worshipers may
cast a e n or a dollar, as it pleases
them, or nothing at all. if they are SO
minded. The claim which conscience
may make thus quietly is demonstrate
ed by the fact that this small box has
always a good deal of money in It at
the close of a service. On Sunday, for
a special purpose, the sum of $50 was
so contributed.

Look for a Bumper Crop.

The Missouri river has returned to
its banks, and the situation looks
much brighter. The farmers in the
bottoms and on the islands are making
arrangements to plant their field in
corn. Before the water was off the
lands they had SEM in orders for a
quick-growing and maturing variety
of corn. The corn will grow and ma
ture in 90 days. There yet remains
ample time in which to raise q bum
per crop of corn. The farmers in the
bottoms are unanimous in the opinion
that this can be done. Many re-
counted former floods, some of them
coming as late as July when they
raised big crops of corn. The high
est ground will be put in potatoes and
garden stuff as Don as the, top dries
off, which it does rapidly. No vegeta-
ton grows faster than that which
INT up after a food. The ground
which is not cultivated within two
weeks will be covered with a luXur-
liant food weed, which will furnish
ample food for cattle and live stock.
The farm owners have sufficient cor
left to carry their stock until this has
arrived.
