captain, addressing his command, said
Il have n nice easy job for the lazl
est man IN the company, WIN the

Instantly titty-nlne men each took n
step forward

inquired the commander OF the one
man who did not come.

he had seen in the young doctors eyes
he felt that he need apprehend no

gone far enough for either Of the young

open window in his office, his hands

If the swollen torrent was doing any
damage to his lands. Then, with the
same strong. self contained look which
the judge had seen and, against his
will, admired. the young doctor turned
back into his Office.
There was no deSpondency In his
clear gray eyes, no weakening OF his
square chin. He had fought his way

NEW YORK, Nov. 2i.-The annual
convention OF the Amateur Athletic
Union, held here yesterday at the Grand
Union Hotel, was marked by the ex-
pulsion from the parent body OF the At
lantic Association.
This drastic action was taken because
the Atlantic Association, which com
prised Pennsylvania and Delaware, had
knowingly allowed Frank Floyd. alias
Jack Egan, TO compete for the Athletic
Club of the SchuyIkiI Navy. 1t had Is
sued registration card 10 Floyd under
an assumed name, and under such guise
had permitted him 70 win two cham

After repeated efforts on the part of
the parent body to make the district

the wrongful issuance of the card. and

Paul to the effect that they are not in
the eminent Methodist institution for
the purpose of entering Princeton next
year, but are there because It is a real
nice institution which offers exceptional
opportunities for an education and the
broadening influence OF "A college life
They are inclined to resent the I'M
putation that they are designed ult1-
Dately for the Gigers' den, and say
that while they had a grand time on
the trip TO Princeton last year with
the Central High School they were not
sufficiently impressed to make them
enter there. 1t has been said By some
of the unregenerate that the generosity
of the Princeton in engineering the
baseball trips TO the New Jersey town
in the gladstone springtime were for
the purpose OF displaying the Tigers
stripes to the best advantage, but the
boys at Wesleyan protest far be II
from them to fall victims of such artful
wiles.

the scholarships standards at WeS-
leyan are fully as high as those at

The writers conclude by saying that
