To Prospective Athletes.

The great secret OF proper training
for all kinds OF athletic feats is to
use common sense. This Is the key.
note OF success for all athletes.
Common sense in eating common
sense in exercising, common sense In
sleeping, all form a combination that
brings one TO success.
One thing that | want to impress
upon the young athlete is not to over
tax himself at the outset. This mis-
take has been the undoing Of many q
youth who would have developed into

started with wrong ideas OF how to
train.
Different people need different work

friends of millionaire Hearst of New
York. The plan is for Mr.. Bryan to
boom Mr.. Hearst for the democratic
nomination for president, and prate
him before the people as the laboring
mems friend and line up the populists
and other reform factions for this
man Hearst, with the understanding
that he is a Bryan democrat, when,
in fact, he is the machine candidate
of Cleveland, Hill, Whitney, Olney
and German, and the money power Is
behind this scheme for the purpose Of
defeating Mr.. Roosevelt for president,
If he is nominated, which they hope
to prevent, but in failing to do so,
they expect to defeat him at the polls
like they did James G. Blaine with
Cleveland, by buying votes and SELL
ing out Roosevelt and elect Hearst,
as New York is the state the demo-
Gratis want and stand some show Of
getting, while they know that Iowa
is safely republican. If Mr.. Bryan is
not next to this scheme he is not as
shrewd a politician as we give him
credit with being. The pnoulists we
think, are shrewd enough, after buy
ing two or three gold bricks, to steer
clear of this skin game hereafter and
get into line and help to reorganize

be done, and you should be on the safe

What is fame? The question has
often been asked and no satisfactory
answer has ever been made. 1t seems
to be something like this: If the hero
was a soldier, they make an image of
him in stone and set him astride a
stone horse. If he was statesman
who never killed anybody, then they
make a stone or bronze image of him
and stand him up in some public
place, with a scroll In one hand which
is supposed to be one of his speeches
written out. That Is fame. AS far
as The Independent is concerned. it
don't see much that Is to be desired
