The Athletic association is having
its own troubles at present. Although
there are nearly hundred boys in
the school, not more than one-fifth
belong to this association, whereas,
at least one-half should be members
A meeting will be held on the 10Th
Of this month for the purpose of
arousing some enthusiasm in the new
freshmen, and efforts will be made
to have a large number of these join
the association The new classes have
not had the same enthusiasm for
athletics that the two upper classes
have had, and these two classes will
have to uphold the athletic honor of
Richmond high school this spring in
baseball and track teams. A large
number of upper classmen are eager
ly awaiting for the first good wealth
er, when they can begin practicing
on the track Some of the best ma
terial that has ever been in high
school is there at present, and Rich
mond should be a winner in all track
meets.

The Freshmen are having the usual
trouble this term that all new mem
bers have A number of them, on
the pretext of seeing the athletic
rooms, were taken down into the
basement and locked in by some Sen
Tors and Juniors Their cries soon
brought the janitor to them and they
were set at liberty This action Of
the upper class boys has been so de-
servedly condemned that the faculty

Bear Master of Situation.

Conductor Dave" Houston of the
Southern railroad, who Is taking a ten
days vacation at Seaside, is great
fisherman, and never lets an opportuni-
ty slip to cast a line. He had hardly got
settled at the seaside when he went out
on the Necanicum creek to have fish
all by himself He made his way
through the brush until he came a log,
one end of which projected out into
the creek. That's the very place"
thought the conductor, and, adjusting
his line and pole, he crept out on the
log, where he found himself comfort
ably perched above the cool water Of
Necanicum creek. Houston lighted his
tried and trusty pipe and then cast his
line. He fished and smoked perhaps an
hour without getting bite.
Suddenly there was a movement in
the bushes back Of him, and he felt the
log. he was sitting on tremble. In
stinctively the conductor turned
around when, to his amaZement, he
gazed into the face Of a black bear
The latter seemed to be sizing him up
and estimating how much Of a meal the
conductor would make and whether he
would scrap" when 1t came to the
point For the conductor there seemed
no escape. The bear sat complacently
on the shore end Of the log and 1t was
not possible for Conductor Houston to
get past the monster. The bear held
him there for several hours before a
hunter came along and killed the ami
NAL. The bear weighed ESQ pounds
when dressed. Conductor Houston

SCOTCH LOGIC AT FAULT.-John d.
Rockefeller, Jr., was talking to his
Sunday school class about industry,
says an exchange.
"Our industry" he said with faint
smile, should be of such a nature
that the remark once applied to a GER
tain Scot could never be applied to us.
I'll tell you what the remark I al
lude to was.
1.-TWO old farmers were walking down
a road near Dunfermline when one of
them pointed to a distant field and
said, shading his eyes from the sun:
THAT figure over there-1 wonder
If it's scarecrow?'
He stopped and regarded the figure
very attentively for space. Then he
concluded in a satisfied tone:
Yes, it's not moving. 1t must be
a scarecrow.'
But the other farmer had sharper
eyes and a better understanding, per-
haps, of certain types of human ma
ture.
No he said dryly; no, it's not
scarecrow. It's a man working by the
day."

Sam George was the mans name,

went to heaven and that st. Peter met
him at the gate.
What have you been doing lately,
Sam?" st. Peter asked him.
campaigning for the Republican
party" he answered.
well, come right in," st. Peter told
him. There is only one requirement
we will make Of you. You must mount
those stairs leading to the Beautiful
City and with this box Of chalk I give
you write on each step the mistakes
Of your party"
Sam George took the chalk and be-
gan the climb. He thought of all the
Republican party had done as ne
climbed, but could think Of no mis-
takes 1t had made, and as he made his
way upward until within a few steps
Of the top, he saw man coming down
again. Looking at him he saw the
man was William Jennings Bryan.
How are you, Mr.. Bryan?' George
said to him. I'm glad to see you
here"
"Yes," George says Mr.. Bryan said'
"Pm glad to get here where there is
no political strife"
But why are you turning back?"
George asked him, when all the 9TH

ODDITIES OF THE CHINESE.
Extraordinary Generosity to Muir
derer-Butterf1y Chuang.


The following remarkable story ap-
pears in Mr.. Whigha.n's "Manchuria
and Korea" "a Cossack, in a fit OF
drunkenness, had shot Chinaman, and
it was necessary to bring several OF
the men to the bedside Of the dying
victim for the purpose of Identification
of the culprit. The Chinaman, how
ever, refused absolutely to single out
the guilty man, saying: why should
he be killed, since I must die In any
case?" Then they explained to him
that the man would only be severely
punished, to which the Chinaman res
ponded that since he forgave the cul-
prit there was no reason why he should
suffer. Then the theory Of punish
ment was adduced as an argument
the Cossack must be punished in or
der that he might not repeat the Of
fence. But said the Chinaman, he
will never do it again when he knows
that 1 forgive him. and there the mat
ter ended"
Here is famous passage from the
writings of a Chinese philosopher
More than twenty centuries ago ii
gained the author the sobriquet OF
Butterfly Chuang." The philosopher
tells of a dream. "Once upon time
I, Chuang Tzu, dreamed was a but
terhy, fiuttering hither and thither, to
all intents and purposes butterfly.
was conscious only Of following my
fancy as a butterfly, and was uncon-
scious of my individuality as a man
Suddenly I swayed, and there I lay
myself again. Now, I do not know
whether 1 was then man dreaming
I was a butterfly, or whether I am
now a butterfly dreaming am a
man."
Until 260 years ago the Chinaman did
not wear his hair in a cue. Previous
to 1914 the Chinese clothed themselves
and dressed their hair as the Japan
ese do now. For the Japanese borrow
ed their national costume from China,
and what is supposed to be Japanese
native dress is really the dress of the
Chinese under the Ming dynasty
Thus, until the middle of the seven
teenth century Japanese and Chinese
dressed alike. Then the Manchu Tar
tars conquered China and, abolishing
the old native costume they imposed
the pigtai upon the Chinese as
badge of servitude, while the japanese
have retained their old borrowed cos
tume.-Chicago Daily News.
