TWO CHILDREN
AID THE COURT
Assist Judge Graham in
Effecting a Reconciliation
Between Their Parents
McCLENEGANS MAKE UP
Litigants Unable to With
stand Suggestion That It
Is Their Duty to Forgive

Judge Graham. with two pretty chill
dren as willing allies, effected another
reconciliation yesterday. Frank McClen-
egan, tea and spice dealer. was up on
all order to show cause why he had failed
to pay his wife, Margaret, alimony pend
ing the hearing Of her suit for divorce.
Mrs. McClenegan charged her husband
with neglect and cruelty and In a cross
complaint he averred that he was en-
titled to decree, as she had abandoned
him.
The children Of the couple accompanied
Mrs McClenegan to court and when
Judge Graham saw them his sympathy
was aroused. Calling the little ones to
the bench he talked with them for a few
minutes, then asked the litigants If they
did not think it was the duty Of parents
of such pretty youngsters to forget their
troubles and live together for the sake
of their children. He told them to talk
1t over and see what they could do. AS
an indication of good intentions McClene-
gan then presented his wife with $40 on
account Of alimony. This resulted in the
beginning Of a conversation between them
that resulted in their reconciliation. For
an hour they talked and then walked
away together, each holding youngster
by the hand.
II will wager that that reconciliation
will be permanent" said Judge Graham
as he watched them depart. because the
children offer an influence that Is al
ways potent for good
Judge Graham did not have such good
luak with Mary and William Stuart,
however. Stuart promised to deed his
wife piece Of property in Oakland that
had been a bone of contention between
them and upon this promise Mrs. Stuart,
at the suggestion of the court, agreed to
return to her husband. Stuart failed to
keep his promise, however, with the re-
suit that Mrs. Stuart was granted de-
cree on the ground of failure to provide
A decree of divorce was also granted

cob Krausgrill for desertion. Suits for
divorce were filed by Catherine R. Cant
ner against A. 7. Gantner for cruelty;
John E. Wilcox against Mary F. Wilcox

Frances GreenwaId, who says her hus-
$40, 900 in the Hibernia Bank, asks for

asks that her husband be restrained from
drawing the money until after the deter
mination of the suit and that she be given
S150 month alimony.

Some Faculty Views on Athletics
New York Evening Post.

New York Evening Post.
The recent assertion of President
James, of the University of Illinois,
that modern college athletics do more
harm than good to the students has
been submitted for comment by the
Chicago Tribune" to dozen or more
college presidents and professors
throughout the country. The answers,
printed in that newspaper, show gen.
eral agreement on certain points that
are appropriately emphasized by college
authorities before the season of Sum-
mer baseball and Summer training for
next Falls football campaign begins.
Training is now being carried to ex-
cess" says President Plantz, of Law
renee University, practically making
professionals of college athletes and i'm
pairing the intellectual work of many
students to their detriment. " Presi-
dent Faunce, of Brown, declares it to
be "a fact that the average football
man has no time nor strength for study
during the football season, and sacrih-
ces himself intellectually to the success
of the team" Rowing, he says, fire.
quently leads to overstrain. "Too much
should not be expected Of them," says
Prof. Gray, of Northwestern University
in apologizing for the low class stand
ing of the typical college athletes. Prof.
Scott, of the same university, agrees
with President James that too few stud
ents engage in athletics, and advocates
the building of a large number Of ten
mis- courts and the introduction of as
ISOLATION football. President Stone, Of
Purdue, believes that modern college
athletics are ''antagonistic to good
scholarship" and the president Of Ohio
State University, DR.. W. o. Thomson,
recommends rigid physical examina-
ton of those students who undertake
to train for college teams.
No doubt these will be set down by
the college champions themselves, the
real rulers of the world of scholarship,
as voices crying in the wilderness, but
to the outside the plea for moderation
they utter seems uncommOnly pertinent.

Ne Went to His Station.

The story is told by former West
ern hotel clerk Of the trials of French
head waiter with an unframed Nebraska
youth assigned to him for service in the
dining-room. The youth had been
reared on ranch, but his father and
the proprietor of the house were life
long friends, and, as favor to the
father, the boniface had promised to
give the boy chance. He appeared in
abbreviated jeans, and when presented
to the full dressed Partisan who presid-
ed in the dning-room the latter looked
him over and, with obvious misgivings,
| said, Il think he is little difficult. 3"
Nevertheless the recruit was put into
the garb of the guild and his zone OF
activity defined. He was also impress
ed with the necessity of prompt and
unquestioning obedience to orders. The
dinner hour arrived, and the direction
was given, "Go to your station" Not
his to reason why, but blindly to obey,
the yokel waiter appeared. The hour
was l o'clock, and two and half hours
later he made his appearance and then
explained that he had understood the
order, go to the station" He had
been watching the trains go by and
wondered what useful service he was
rendering. His connection with the
waiter corps was terminated, and he
became an assistant baggage wrestler
in the porter's room.

Just what ais Germany these days it

that having enjoyed the luxury of a

opportunity in Russia's helplessness,
she feels like assuming the role of mas

have noticed the change and resent it,
Diplomatic notes from Germany have
taken on a new tone and incline toward
the peremptory. The emperor of Ger
many has been accused of warlike ten

tuity of winning "glory" on the field;
so it appears that now that France may
expect no help from her ally, Russia,
Emperor William has virtually assumed
for Germany the position Of the first
nation Of the continent.
But there are checks that he will have
to consider. France has greater, and
it is believed, a more efficient navy,
Besides, GreatBritain will hardly witness

Under these circumstances it is probable
