The college yell is about done for in
American athletics; at least it will
never again be the feature of every

cheer, it came to be an unmitigated
nuisance, both to players and specta-

England played large part in bring

There died recently In Chicago a
successful merchant, who In the long
course of busy life never forgot that
he had ben boy. I'm the whole
world" he often said, "there is no one
else equal to fine, strong, clean
young man-except a fine, strong,
clean young woman" He not only be-
Heved that, but he acted on his belief.
So 1t happened that no business was
ever so pressing that he had not time,
when he found youth of the kind
described, to seek employment for him
in his own Office or with some &C
quaintance. Business is a little slack
just now" the acquaintance would
sometimes say. "I'm afraid l cannot
find room for another malone who
has no experience" "Don't tell me you
are going to let this opportunity go
BY" the other would interrupt. why,
you can't afford to. Room for hin? ?
Who asked you to make room for
himT Give him chance. He'll make
his own room. Here's a young man
do you realize what that means? One
Of the noblest crea lures In the world
Not only man like you and me, but
young, with all the world before him.
He offers to give you his whole power
to come into your business and use
bis God-given intelligence In mastering
and improving it. You arc asked to
accept q favor-and If you don't some
more enterprising rival will. Take him
while you can get him; you may not
have another chance" Boys who de-
serve such introducdons are not 80
rare as is sometimes thought This
man had a faculty for finding them
and for bringing out by stimulating
words the very best in them. And he
brought home to many employers be-
sides himself the fact that boy seek

boy, Is offering in his manly ambition
something for which the money paid
is in no sense a return.

hair-brained young men, and was shut
up in johannesburg prison.
The American government got busy
to save Mr.. Hammond's life. In the end.
as we all know, no one of the prisoners
was executed, but for time their pros
pect was decidedly stormy. It was at
this time that Mr.. Hammond made what
would have been called 300 years ago
"vow' that if he ever got out of that
scrape alive he would make thank-of-
fering to Yale college, And he did not,
as some have done III like cases, forget
all about it, though he has required some
years to complete the gift.
Mr. Hammond was very close friend
of the son of Secretary Hay, who went
for brief period as United States con-
sui generalto the Boer republic, and who
was afterward killed by a regrettable
accident at Yale.
Why do they say that American men
never marry English women? An ex-
ception is the case of the handsome and
gallant Gen. Thomas L. James, brave
soldier in the war and postmaster gen
eral under President Garfield. who has
just welded beautiful English girl of
less than half his years. Gen. James is
the president of the Lincoln national
bank of this city. The bride is daugh-
ter of an alderman of Stratford-on- Avon,
who is also proprietor of the famous
Red Horse hotel at Stratford, where
Shakespeare in his day often caroused
with other wild young blades, and
where Washington Irving and other
Americans of fame have from the be-
ginning of all travel put up.''

portion Of the number are engaged as
domestic servants, chiefly by persons
who have travelled in the far east; some
students are working their way through
college by doing housework. But by
far the larger number are either experts
in oriental good employed by the big
department stores, or are themselves
merchants upon substantial scale. In
either case they are educated men,
speak English almost without an accent,
and dress as other prosperous merchants
DO. Excepting in the consular Office, l

vor in which their cause is held by most

to how great an extent these Japanese
act as volunteer political agents of their

is more devotedly served by it's citizens

is Japan. 1t is the policy of the govern

purposes and stews. Because of the high
price of beef the butchers are having
greater demand for pork than ever be-
fore, but the price of this is becoming al
most prohibitive. Sirloin steaks bring
80 cents pound, veal outlets Is cents,
roast beef Is cents, while but a few
years ago IS cents would buy pound of
the best meat carried by the butchers.
Vegetables, like meats, have scared
skyward until they are almost out of
reach for the working classes. Potatoes
at $1.25 bushel are higher than at any
time since 1881. The same is true with
other vegetables and the STABLES in
northern grown fruits. Milk. butter and
lard have gone the same road other table
necessities have Travelled, and are being
dispensed with as far as possible BY the
economical housewife.
Fuel is more expensive by more-than
ten per cent. than it was three years ago;
rents are up about Is per cent, and in
many Of the staple lines of dry goods,
clothing and shoes there is a noticeable
rise in prices. For example, bleachsd
sheeting that sold for 16 cents a yard IN
1902 is now worth q cents yard. And

The statement that they have no

The manager of one of the big book
stores told me few days ago that within
a week his house had sold some 1000
volumes relating to Russia or Japan,
and that the sale on'y stopped because
of the exhaustion of The supply. Books
that have been packed away in store
rooms for several years, and regarded as
a loss, have been brought out and dis

relied, she broke the engagement, and
last November Breen shot her in front
of Hull house.
For the first time in the history of Hi
! nois woman lawyer, Mrs. Antoinette
Funk, undertook the defense of a MUIR
derer. That is one reason why the case
attracted such widespread attention. A
second reason was the peculiar defense
which Mrs. Funk offered for her client,
that of "propinQuitive' insanity, she
claiming that Breen was rational save
when in the presence of the sweetheart
| who had Tilted him, until after the shoot
ing, when he became permanently in
sane
From the day Of his arrest Breen
palyed the part of the maniac to per-
lection, and while portion of the ex-
pert testimony introduced by the state
to prove that he was shammiEg insisted
that such was the case, others were not
so confident, and some went so far as to
| say they believed the prisoner really in
sane. In her plea to the jury Mrs. Funk
painted a brilliant word picture of the
agonies endured by the infatuated man
when his sweetheart broke their engage
ment. 1t was effective, ard, together
with the actions of Breen in the court
room throughout the trial, carried the
jury by storm, and they brought in a
verdict Of second degree murder, the
maximum penalty for which is II years
imprisonment.
The third sensation connected with
the trial came when Breen stood before
| the bar to receive his sentence. He was
no longer the maniac he had been for
three months, but perfectly rational, and
confessed that he was shamming to save
his neck, in which he was successful.
