which she prided herself In times past?

There was Blodgett's grave at the

only shook her head.

fS9Y1T was spr1ngtime again in

RSssS1S depths accumulated by the
shifting clouds, was never
more clear, wherever 1t appeared in

were health and strength in the gentle
breeze which wantonIy played with
the budding leaves of the great trees,
already putting forth little eyangels of
that splendid foliage with which they
decked themselves in the full glory of
summer. That merry wind which
swept through the open boathouse at
the end of the wharf laid bold hand
upon the curls which fell about the
neck of the young girl sitting there by
9he door near the water on one of the
&enches, gazing out over the broad
reaches OF the guiet, ever beautiful
Potomac, rippled gently by the wind
under the late afternoon sun. The gal
liant little breeze. fragrant with balm
and perfume of the trees and flowers,
kissed faint color into her pale cheek
and seemed to whisper to her despond-

framed themselves into the immortal
words "hope, hope"

the hem of her dress to his lips with
an unconscious movement OF passion

She looked at him in silence mo-

and sympathy for him. There was
hope in his eyes which she had not
seen for many days. How could she
drive 1t away and crush his heart! It
might be cruel, but she had no answer.

DR.. FED HIMSELF

A good old family physician with a

to publicly testify to the value of q

days l gained lbs. That started my
return to health and really saved my
life.
"A physician is naturally prejudiced
against writing such a letter. but in
this case l am willing to declare it

Philadelphia. Jan. 28.-Jack O'Brien

the first four rounds and in the fifth

Ryan seemed to regain his wind as
the round progressed and landed re-

that saved O'Brien from being
knocked out.

MINNESOTA NOT ROUGH
OLD CHICAGO. HALFBACK SAYS
GOPHERS USED TO PLAY A
VERY CLEAN GAME.

William F. Eldridge, who played
halfback on the Chicago, university
football team in 1900, was at the West
hotel yesterday. Eldridge talked en-
tertainingly of football matters, and
expressed surprise at the charges of
rough play made against Minnesota
by Michigan last season.
If Minnesota plays rough game,
her men have changed considerably
since 1900" he said. when we
played the gophers at Northrops field
that year, I saw no Indication Of in
territorial roughness, nor did I hear
any of the foul language which Mich
igan attributes to Minnesota. The
gophers played a hard game, and. used
, our men UP pretty badly. They were
all big, burly men, without any super
fluous flesh, and the points Of their
bones stuck out thru their suits, and
; when they fell on a man he knew it.
But so far as I could see they didn't
try to injure any of our men. In fact,
their conduct on the field compared
very favorably with that of Wisconsin
in 1899 and 1900.
Minnesota did put our team on the
tobaggan that year, tho. We all came
out of the contest very much bruised
and exhausted, and that game was
largely responsible for our defeats
the latter part Of the season. The
week after we played Minnesota. we
had to meet Brown. Her men were
smarting under their defeat at our
hands the year before, and they beat
us by a score of IL to 6. Then we went
to Philadelphia to play Pennsylvania,
whom we had tied the year before
Pennsylvania also wanted revenge, and
they got it. The next week we played
Iowa, and they wanted satisfaction
for a tie game also. They were pretty
sore because the year before, when
they scored touchdown on us, Ken
nedy. tied the score with a field goal.
They got satisfaction Then we played
Northwestern, and the next week we
met wisconsin, and furnished a lit
tie more revenge. That game was q

Breeding Giants.

The Medical News suggests that the
new chemical compound called t.lec-
ithin,' which is said to promote rapid
and abnormal growth would be in
valuable to the French society estab-
lished for the breeding of giants.
Some time ago noted count left
$2.00O,O00 in his will to the city of
Rouen to pay the expense of the prop
agation of giants. If he had known
of golden grain belt beer this count
would doubtless have advised it's use
by the society. It keeps body and
mind in perfect health, under which
condition growth is natural. If you
haven't a case at home better order
at once, just telephone the brewery.

slaughter, altho we held them well

In the first half
THE principal reason for Chicago
poor showing recently has been lack
of material. In 1902 lot of good
freshmen entered the university, COM
petition for places was keen, and we
developed pretty good team, consid-
erlng the greenness of the men. This
year only two freshmen made the
team-Hill and Eckersall. The rest
of the new material was poor, and yet
competition was not so sharp. Chicago
is: very expensive university, and
that is one reason material has been
so scarce there in recent years"
