younger teachers got few of the pre-
paratory boys out for footraces. That
day, for Beirut at least, the death blow
was struck to the picturesque dress Of
the Orient. You can't run a 1OO-yard
dash with long, baggy drawers and a
silk gumbez that tops around your
ankles. Even If you "gird up the
loins," by tucking your skirts into the
sash, the effect is more startling than
speedy. So, one by one, the students
ordered trousers from the city tailors.
At first they were poorly cut and
viewed with suspicion; but to-day
there are not three men in the COL
legiate department who wear the old
costume, and many of the students
dress with taste and an elegance that
their professors cannot afford to emu
late.
Tennis and basketball soon won their
place in the students favor; and now
we have gymnastic apparatus and a
regular graduated athletic director,
who has learned physical culture and
boy nature through long experience
in the gymnasiums of America. But
it was football that did the most to-
ward unifcation. The value of team
work Is new idea to eastern college
men. The old ideal was that Of every
man for himself" 1t has been SO

lom. If 1t had not been SO the history
of the world might have been different.
1t was comparatively easy to see the
JOY OF winning footrace or tennis
match; but to play an untheatrical part
In a football game, obeying a captain
and working for the good Of the side,
that was a very different thing. We
always play the Association" game,
and 1T used to be the ideal Of every
player to get the ball and carry 1t
down the field all by himself, while the
audience cheered Bravo, Jurjy!' So
we arranged matches with the crews
of visiting British frigates, and from
sad experience our boys learned the
value Of back plays and frequent pass
es, and began to see dimly the truth
that good football is played, not with
the legs or the mouth, but with the
head, and that hard teamwork Is far
better than grandstand plays. That
lesson may change the map of Asia
some day.

LONELINESS OF THE PRAIRIE

TraCk1ess, Tree1ess Waste, Without
Water or Human Habitation.
Il had almost as soon be set adrift

a man who is familiar with the West.
Zone cannot realize the loneliness of
the western plains until he has cross
ed them. There are very few human
habitations, comparatively little Of the
land is under cultivation, and water Is
a scarce and precious commodity. In
every direction nothing meets the gaze
of the eye except a trackless, treeIess
waste which is bounded only by the
lowering sky. Prairie dogs are the
chief deniZens of this region, and as
the train whirls past they perch them
selves on their hind legs and sit bolt
upright, as motiOnless as statue,
There are a few houses, but they are
at wide intervals. The single advant-
age that lonely pedestrian has in that
region is that by following the rail-
road track sufficiently far he will reach
town some day; but walking under
the burning prairie sun and in a water
less country is by no means pleas

RIVER MONSTER IN AFRICA

Amphibious Animal Is Between an
Elephant and Hippopotamus in Size.
If Sir Harry Johnston had not re-
Gently returned from Uganda with the
first skins of the okapi there would be
more reason for receiving with incred-
ulity the story Of a French traveller,
says NJ. TITLES, writing from Mole,
that while exploring the northern Con-
go three years ago he heard from the
natives Of IAN enormous amphibious
animal something between the ele-
plant and the hippopotamus in size,
and in nature very ferocious toward
man. 'Unbelieving, he paid little at
tention to what had been told him.
However. later, when in the neigh
borhood of DjaH, near the Great falls,
the accounts were given with more de-
tail. The animal in question, or at
least one Of its species, lived near the
source of the Mourk; it lay in wait for
the canoes, upset them, and in prefer
ence attacked the women and children.
Twice the natives fetched me to see
1t as it slept on the sandbank. But
on each occasion it had disappeared

tiers, but, unfortunately, the wounded
animal escaped him.

color is a light tawny gray, dotted
with black spots; the hair rough, in

The Advantace of Reine Ill

One of the greatest difficulties in life

anxiety, which causes resistance to the
illness, Is even more severe, and makes
more trouble than the illness itself.

taken down with the measles, when he
feels that he ought to be at his Office,
and that his absence may result in Sc
