BIG OCEAN LINERS OPEN
THE WAY FOR. NEW SPORTS

The New York Sun says; The in
creased size of ocean liners permits
passengers nowadays to engage in
sports not possible on the smaller
boats.
On a recent trip of the White Star
liner Baltic to this port the passengers
witnessed a cigarette race. There were
six contestants. and they had as as
sistants six pretty girls.
Each young woman was supplied with
a dozen parlor matches According to
the conditions of the race the contest
ants had to run 100 yards along the
upper promenade deck to where the
young women stood in line. The run
ners carried unIighted cigarettes in
their mouths and the chief object of
the race was to get the cigarettes light
ed with the aid of the women at the
turning first to the starting point with
his cigarette burning was the winner.
The contest looked simple and doubt
less would have been if any of the
women had known how to light a
match. Striking the matches on deck
was prohibited. No match strikers
we're allowed. The women had either
to strike the matches. on the soles of
their shoes or to light them aslthe aver
age man usually does.
The woman who helped her partner
to win resorted to the schoolboy trick
of lighting a parlor match by explod-
ing it between her teeth. Three of the
others scratched them on their boot
soles.
The other two tried the more con-
venient method. One of them wore a
white pique dress. 1t is known that
she tried five times before she finally
succeeded in giving her partner a light.
Five yellow streaks along the side gore
of her skirt showed that.
The passengers on the Atlantic trans
port steamer Minneapolis witnessed a
hurdle race on the last trip of that
ship from London. The stewards of the
vessel were the contestants and COM
mittee of passengers arranged the con-
ditions.
The start was on the main deck aft,
and the contestants had to run along
the port side, up over the boat deck. or
highest deck. descending to the main
deck forward by diving down canvas

water, and to run 100 yards, the use Of
the right hand alone being permitted
in keeping the pail steady. The contest
seemed like a free-for-all bath, and the
spectators gave the contestants a wide
berth as they came rushing along the
deck.
On the same day on which this race
was held on the Cedric her passengers
held tandem hurdle races, with steamer
chairs rugged as hurdles. and an egg
race for women. The latter event pro-
voked much amusement.
One of the conditions was that each
contestant should pick up by means OF
tablespoon three eggs that lay on
the deck at different points in the TWEEN
ty-five yards that she had TO run. This
might have been comparatively easy,
were it not for the rolling of the ship
and the consequent rolling of the eggs.
None of the contestants was allowed
to use her second hand in getting an
egg on the spoon. Hence the serious
ness of the contestants and the amuse-
ment of the onlookers. The sailors
viewed the affair with much disfavor,
especially as a number of the eggs We're
broken Each damaged egg held more
than David Harum's famous pint, ac-
cordingnto the tars.
Another novel contest recently origi-
mated on shipboard was race among
the members of the band of the North
German Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wilhelm

thrice around the upper promenade
deck playing their favorite instruments.

perpetrate and the result as two or

anprecjate the emotions which welled
M within us when our eyes rested upon
the White House, within whose walls
your beloved President Mckinley
evolved the intentions of stretching out
his sbeneficent hand to us to raise us up
to the plane upon which you now stand.
and Mace within US the same beliefs
that you now have in this great coun-
try"
Another speaker of the party said he
doubted if the Americans could under
stand the exultation which filled every
bosom as they looked upon the national
capitol and began family to realize
that this was their capitol; that they
,, were an integral part of the greatest re-
public the world had ever known. 1t Is
instructive to contrast this kind Of ex-
preston with the propaganda of the
self-elected committee of Philippines
independence" The committee babbles
complacently along, telling of the
principles and opinions and longings Of
people it's members had never come
in touch with and coolly denying that
the representative men of the Philippine
islands were competent to speak for
their fellows. The Filipinos themselves
are the better authority, and the Amer
lean people will accept them as such.

THE MAKING OF THE FLAG.
Read at the Meeting of the D.. A. 4,
New Meadows, June %.

A blaze Of color like sunlit wine;
A field of blue where the white stars
shine;
A stream of glory for ships at sea;
A flash of hope where the armies pe'
A banner upheld for gain or loss;
This was the vision of Betsey Ross.
Alone she sat in the silent room.
A matron fair in her youthful Dloom'
Her eyes were alight, her cheeks aglow,
AS she stitched the colors, row on row.
Seven stripes of red, with the white be-
tween,
Till the red and white had made thirteep;
For the field as blue as the deep blue tide
When skies are clear and the waters wloe'
She fashioned the skies with skillful art,
Each star a gem for the nations neart.
Then the woman's soul grew faint with
Is the red for blood and the blue tor
tears,
Our life tide flows but the cause Is right,
And the soul of honor for aye is white.
So we gave our blood and we gave our
tears,
But we kept unstained, through the fate
full years,
The flag that noated DER land and sea,
The emblem of right and liberty.
Brave Betsey Ross! How little she knew
OF the decd she wrought with the red
and blue:
OF the valor. the justice, the truth, the
She stitched in the seams with the bands
of white:
OF the mighty spirit that burst its bars
And sprang to life with the union stars.
Fling out that banner from east to west.
On its standard proud let the eagle rest.
Its folds are holy The countless dead
March ever beneath with ccaseless tread.
Its folds have triumphed. The ships in
line,
From sea to shore, salute the sign,-
Old Glory still, with its thirteen bars;
Old Glory still, with its new born stars
That blaze on the blue of the farthest
state!
o sons of nation, stand and wait,
With brow uncovered and reverent eye,
Where the flag of our country floats on
high!
And we. the daughters of sires who
Salute the banner so proudly wrought
Kid the hand of her who. through her
tears,
Saw cleaning white, far down the years,
The path of honor our fathers trod

God.

To Make it Unanimous.

The Boston Advertiser makes the
suggestion that the election of Roose-
welt and Fairbanks be made unani-
nous by the country, just as their
nomination was made unanimous at
the great and enthusiastic convention
held in Chicago, last week. Coming
from a staunch Republican paper this
advice however great it's virtue, is not
likely to carry much weight at the
coming gathering of the Democratic
leaders in st. Louis. In fact, the sug-
gestion would probably strike most
people, who are familiar with the
workings of our political system, as
one made only to create a laugh, or for
the purpose of allowing bright
editorial paragraph. and yet it has it's
merits which are easily discovered by
the thoughtful reader.
OF course, the man nominated at st.
Louis will not expect to win. Anyway,
1t is certain that he will not win what
ever his expectations. If the st. Louis
convention should endorse Roosevelt
and Fairbanks. as the Boston Adver-
tiser suggests, it would save the Demo-
Gratis a vast amount of trouble and ex-
pense during the next few months, and
would leave them in just as good con-

Singular People.

Of the Russian Cossacks writer
says: mo wonder the Cossack is ia
nous horseman. At the age of he
learns to ride astride a horse in the
courtyard of his fathers house. Two
years later he shows himself on horse
back in the village street and exercises
with his young comrades. No wonder
at the age of 20 he seems almost to be
one flesh with the sturdy beast that
carries him. Under the present regime
there are no less than fifty-one regi
ments of Cossacks, under eleven main
tribal divisions. Chief of these are the
Cossacks of the Don. Besides these are
the COssacks of the KOuban, Terek, AS
trakan, the Ural, Orenberg, Siberia
Semirietchie, the TranS-Baikal the pri-
Amur and the Ussuri. The last five are
represented in the 10000 COssacks re-
ported to be available for service in
Manchuria. The COssaCk has his own
manual of instructions. Every men,
Der of the squadron is trick rider, who
could put the clevereSt circus acrobat
to-shane, and the firing exercises intro
duce features which only clever riders
with clever animals could perform. On
campaign, moreover, the Cossack is
particularly useful, as he is accustomed
to scan:y fool and extreme cold. while
no better forager has yet been discOv-
ere ] in the armies of Europe"
Able Hue tells in his account of his
travels in China that when he had so
completely mastered the Chinese Ian
guage, and so transformed his personal
appearance that he passed for a native
of the country, he could not deceive the
dogs, which detected him by their sense
of smell and invariably barked at him
as he passed by. He further states
that the musky odOr which may be OBJ
served in articles imported from China
pervadcs the whole country and is one
of the distinctive marks of the Chinese
race. A Japanese doctor of medicine
returns the compliment on the behalf
of the oriental by declaring that the oc-
cidental races have IN Odor which IS
not agreeable to the Asiatics, though in
process Of time they get so accustomed
to it that they do not notice it.
There is living at Tinisky Listok a
Russian aged 122 years, who fought IN
many battles against Napoleon l. An

dition. IL not i'm better CONDITION. u
make campaign In 1908, than they VIII
be IL they nominate candidates to go
down i'm overwhelming defeat next
November. The country wants Roose-
welt for its next President and it wouid
make an era of political good feeiiiis'
absolutely without precedent or
parallel in American history, If all
parties should agree to his nomination.
The only danger that would follow the
Democratic endorsement of the Re-
publican ticket would be the inevitable
suspicion with which the people OF the
country would regard anything bear
ing the Democratic tag. They nave
reason to be suspicious of. Democratic
presidential nominations, and 1t IS
barely possible that not even Roose-
velt's personality and popularity would
wholly allay this suspicion.
OF course it will not be at all nee
essary for Roosevelt and Fairbanks TO
accept the st. Louis nomination should
the endorsement be given them at that
convention, and the delegates could go
to their homes feeling that they had
at last succeeded in doing something
creditable and of benefit to the country.
without bothering themselves over such
things as notifications or letters of ac-
ceptance. But as we said before, the
Democrats are not likely to take the
Advertisers good advice; yet whether
they do or not, it has long since been
well assured thing that the voters Of
the country will come about as near
making the election of the Republican
nominees unanimous as has ever been
done in the history of the country.

Reflections of a Bachelor.

Generally you can tell girl who thinks
she is mighty pretty by the ugly one
she picks out to run with to show herself
off.
A woman always has an idea her hus-
band will be United States Senator some
day because he talks about the tariff as
if he understood it.
If a man is lucky. after he spends $4,000
on a college education for his son the
boy can earn l per cent. on the invest
ment, not counting interest.
The difference between man and a
woman is the more children they have
the less he is sure to know about them
and the more she thinks she does.
When a man wakes up to the fact that
his function in the family is what the
hired mans is. he has arrived at q proper
estimation of domestic life.
