power that may ne used, and the for
eigners have resorted to enormous en-
gines. The Dubonnet, which won the
Prince Of Monaco cup, has engines of
30O-horse power, and the Brooke l.,
built in England, has the same power.
England is going to make supreme
effort to regain the trophy. The Napier

has two huge engines of 8O-horse
power each, and she is perfectly fiat.
bottOmed, so that she is driven over
the surface of the water instead OF
through it. This boat is built entirely
Of steel.
Both the Challenger and the Dixie
have shown near the mile-in-two-min-
utes' mark, and from their time rec.
ords seem to have a chance TO bring
the cup over here.
The start will be q flying one and
the distance will be from 30 to 81
nautical miles. There will be no sharp
turns and every boat will be put on
its merits of straight running. The
distance is suitable to both American
boats. But the question is whether
their 16O-horse power engines can
drive their smooth bodies as fast as
their RIVALS, which have twice their
power.
These two Yankee motor boats have
been called freaks" over here, but
they are models compared to the queer
foreign craft. The Challenger has
proved her worth In both northern and
southern waters, and to-day is queen
of Yankee high-speed boats.
The Dixie met with an accident in
the Indian Harbor races at Greenwich,
where she made her first appearance,
but her trials have shown her to be q
wonder. One of the conditions upon
which her owner agreed to accept her
was that she should develop sufficient
speed to beat the Challenger, and Gin
ton H. Crane, who had designed the
latter, presumably was sure Of what
he was about when he agreed to that
condition for the Dixie.
The big powerful foreign boats are
sure to show remarkable speed in the
coming race, but as big as their en-
gines are they will know they have
been in a race when they meet the two
little Yankee flyers.

YANKEE MOTOR BOATS
FAST CRAFT WITCH WILL TRY
FOR FOREIGN TROPHY.
Will Meet in the Contests to Be Held
in Experimentation and French
Boats Of Tremendous
Power

America can build sailing yachts
which can beat the world, but whether
she will prove as successful when it
comes to motor boats remains to be
seen. Two craft are going to try for
the Harmsworth challenge cup this
fall. They are the Challenger, owned
by w. Gould Brokaw, and the Dixie,
the special hope and pride OF E. r.
Thomas.
Motor boat racing IL of comparative
ly recent date, and the development of
this type of boat has received more at
tention in Europe than in America up
to the present time, and for this reason
the chances are against the Yankee
boats lifting the handsome prize Just
as in automobile racing, it has been
found that French machines are
speedier, and French motorists more
skilled and daring, 80 it may be found
in regard to the motor boats.
The famous British international
trophy, which Is to be raced for by the
motor boats, was given by Sir Alfred
Harmsworth, and is IN open challenge
cup. 1t was won last year by the
French boat Trefle a Quatre. which
was given the race. though beaten by
the Napier Minor, because the latter
had not been properly entered.
The first race this year is fixed for
September IL, and will be held in the
Bay of Arcachon, France. about So
miles south Of bordeaux.
The conditions Of this race permit
three boats from each country to try
for the trophy. So much interest is
centered in the contest abroad that
England and France have each entered
more than their quota, and elimination
trials will be necessary to select repre-
sentatives.
The race is limited to boats that do
not exceed 40 feet on the water line
but there is no limit to the amount OF

Not Darkest Before Dawn.

The idea that the darkest hour is
Just before the dawn is poetical but
incorrect. The darkest hour is mid
way between sunset and dawn, and
the legend is Of a piece with the
statement often made that the hour
preceding dawn is the coolest In
many countries there is a fixed besef
that Just before the break of day there

CONFESSION IS SHAMELESS
Maine Editor Tells About Furnish.
ing Graduation Essays
for Pupils.

The time draws near when the very
good papers of Maine will begin to give
the teachers advice as to how schools
should be conducted SO as to bestow the
most good upon the pupils. says the
Bangor News. 1t is then in season to
find fault with the average graduation
essay and the graduation oratory, and
tell Of the horrible English and worse
sense that are employed by the under
graduates. No editor who attends to his
duty can let pass the opportunity to in
sist upon closer study of the English
branches, particularly to the depart+
ment of English which gives instruction
In how to write essays and letters.
Let US see about this matter. During
q more or less close newspaper connec-
ton of some IS years the writer has re-
ceived on an average fully 30 applica-
tions for help year from undergrad
yates who did not or would not or could
not know or learn how to compose such
productions as pass muster at high
schools and academies and seminaries.
OF these requests-and all have been
most emphatic-perhaps the writer has
complied with as many as ten year.
He has never received q cent id com.
pensation for any one, though financial
reward has been offered in nearly every
case. In other words, the writer has
turned out more than 1000 words of
copy for the relief of those who stood in
need Of help. The topics have ranged
all the way from how to tame mud tur.
ties to how to make over the solar sys-
TEN SO it can be of most use. Most Of
the efforts have been read or delivered
extempore, 1t Is hoped to the satisfac-
ton of the hearers. 1t Is our belief that
nearly every other man who is con-
nected with newspapers has performed
similar taaks, and done SO for the sake
of helping fellow sufferer out of q hole.
II the foregoing presumption Is cor
rect, can the pupils and undergraduates
be blamed for the errors which they did
not commit? II the samples of English
which we hear at commandments and
public exercises at schools are disgust
ingly poor. are not the helpful but mis-
guided editors to blame for the fault!
Let us not jump upon the undergrad
yates as class until we learn the facts
in the case. In all fairness as repre-
sentatives of the human race, the per-
sons who compose the monstrosities.
and not those who deliver them, should
bear the brunt Of condemnation. For
an editor to condemn the offspring Of his
own pen or his own typewriter 10 very
mean.

Terms Of Executive Service.

The Portland Oregonian speaks thus
to q growing tendency: There is a
growing tendency in American poli:!cs
toward frightening the term Of service
of executive officers, both in state and
municipal affairs. The doctrine or
principle of rotation in once was once
supposed to be the bulwark Of repre-
sentative government. That idea has
in q great measure been dispelled. The
public ONCE is more of public trust
than it was in the days when the vic
tor captured the spoils without restric-
ton of civil service rules. Conditions
have changed. The complex problems
Of state and municipal life call for ex-
pert assistance Of high class. Hence
it is that the terms of executive service
are being heightened and well-provcn
ability is protected in subordinate
places in government"

Devoted japanese Nurse.

A pathetic story of the war is told
by Japanese correspondent at Kobe.
Feodor Chesnetzky, . young Russian
soldier, was taken to the Red Cross
hospital et Matsuyama riddled with
shrapnel. All Of his limbs were anu
putated and after the operation, to
the anazement of the doctors, Ches-
netzky lived for eight months, lying
quite helpless. He was attended BY
Nurse Kawaguchi and he became 90
much attached to her that he would
cry like q child when he could not sec
her. Her devotion and tenderness
were such that she scarcely left him
for eight months and she was with
him when he died.

Old ''Shriner''-We got out of Russia
just in time to keep from being arrested
or blown up with a bomb. Dad wanted
to 60 to Moscow, because he saw pic
ture once Of Moscow being destroyed by
fire by Napoleon, or somebody, and he
wanted to see if they had ever built the
town up again, but felt as though
something serious was going to happen
in that country If Wa didn't look out,
and SO persuaded dad to 60 to Turkey,
and the day we started for Constantine
pie we got the news that the Nihilists
had thrown . bomb under the carriage
Of the Grand Duke Sergius, and blew
him and the carriage into small pieces
not bigger than q slice of summer saul
sage, and they had to sweep his remains
up In dustpan and bury them in two
quart fruit jar. Wouldn't that jar you?
When dad heard about that you
couldn't have kept him in Russia on q
bet, and so we let the authorities have
all the money We had, giving some to
each man who held us up, until we got out
Of the country, and then we took the

with a red Turkish fez, and told ma that

was the highest degree in Masonry, and
you and he were mobiles, and all that rot,
I was on to you bigger than : house, and
you couldn't fool me when you and dad

crossing the hot sands of the desert.
Well, dad brought his red fez along,
cause l think he expected he would
meet shriners all over the world, thathe
could borrow money of. When we
struck Constantinople, and dad saw that
every last one of the Turks wore red

trunk, and he wears it all the time. ii
Dad acts as familiar with the Turks

he begins to make motions and give
grand hailing signs Of distress, and the
Turks look at him as though he had
robbed q bank, and they charge enor-
nous prices for everything. and dad
pays with smile, thinking his brother
Masons are fairly giving things away.
He looks upon all men who wear the fez
as his brothers, and they look at him rs
though he was crazy in the head.
The only trouble is that dad insists
on talking to the women here without
an introduction, and woman in Turkey
had rather die than have Christian
dog look at her. Dad was buying some
wormy figs of a merchant, who was
seated on the floor of his shop, and CIV
