The New Straw Hat,

We were crowded in the bleach
ers-not soul but heaved a
sigh,
For the visitors were scoring and
the end was drawing night,
Tis an awful thing for rooters to
be witnessing a game
Where the fielding of the locals is
a measly, blooming shame.
Suddenly our hearts grew lighter,
for we heard robin sing,
Which is what the soulful poets
call "harbinger OF spring" "
And, to cap the robins climax,
some one shouted, Look at
that!'
And a bleacherite was spotted
with a brand new sailor hat.
Then arose our dropping spirits
and wave of laughter spread
When he rose and cheered the To-
Gals, jerking from his towsled
mead
That straw lid all new and shiny,
while his voice resounded far
And we thought about the story
OF the Helmet OF Navarro
Thought about he glorious vic
try and the way it came
about.
And from bleachers and from
grand stand leapt mighty,
joyous shout
Hearing which the willy foemen
lost their cunning at the bat
And the home team won the bat
tie, hanks to some ones

A PAraeol In Tibet.

Miss Susette Taylor, one Of the
very few European women who
have ever visited Tibet, gave some
interesting particulars of the GUS
toms of the people of that mysteri-
Gus land recently. When the Tibe-
tan puts out his tongue at you, Miss
Taylor says that you must not feel
insulted. He is merely being polite
to you after his own manner, the
projection of the tongue being
civility equal to our shaking hands,
which in this country is not sti-
quette. On one occasion Miss Tay-

murs of approval and admiration

scandal in connection with one of the

leaked out are to the effect that some
one at the staff college sold copies of
the examination questions which were
to be prOpounded at a recent eXami-
nation to the candidates. The thing
became known. and the officers of the
college took a hand. 1t is rumOred,
but denied, that several of the SOL
diers were tried by court-martial-
1t is a fact that the examinations
were postponed two weeks. The Off
Gals at the college are reticent about
the matter, and say that the whole
thing is a joke, that some one got up
some imaginary questions and man
aged to sell them to a few of the
students as the real problems that
would be propounded. The thing be-
came known through a student who
told the authorities. In any case, it
will probably result in serious trouble
for the originator of the scheme. Last
year some of the students who were
working up from the ranks hired
scholars to write their graduation eS-
says. This year the essays must be
in the handwriting of the students.

Great relief is felt by the officials of
the Santa Fe in this city over the
turning the new shop men out of the
stockade and the removal of the
boarding and lodging tents. They Were
a great nuisance to the ot1clalS ana
none were more pleased to see the
move made than they.
The work of cleaning up the interior
of the stockade from the lumber and
other material and debris necessarily
scattered about because of the pres
ence of the tents, is nearly completed,
and the shop yards once more present
a more nearly normal condition.
New shop men are still coming from
the east for employment in the local
shops of the Santa Fe in place of the
strikers This week several new lots
have arrived and have been put at
work in the shops and more are ex-
pected to arrive in the next few days.
Many of these men take the places
been discharged for various reasons,
and men who have quit the employ
of the company of their volition. The
company has been wedding out the
undesirable men in earnest since the
stockade opened, a large number hav-
ing been discharged.
A force of men were busy yester-
day in the Santa Fe stockade yards
tearing down the board bath houses
that were erected for the strike-break-
ers while they were being lodged in
the tents. The score or more tubs
were being removed also, and soon all
vestige of the tent city" will have
disappeared.

proper ways will continue to give its
aid and encouragement to the cause
of international arbitration to which
it is SO firmly and earnestly COM
