N III. OTTENS
Hustler and Founder of the Ottens Tract, North Wildwood

1 want to speak about the shameful
overcrowding of hotels and boarding
houses which has been experienced
here this season. Our accommoda-
tons in Wildwood for the entertain
ment of our visitors are totally made
quate to give them either comfort or
pleasure. Just a few instances have
come to my attention.: A family with
whom / am personally acquainted re-
sided at one of our hotels for over eig hit
weeks, paying I've a thousand dollars
for board during that time, and the Ia
BILE together with the service in the
dining room was SO abnormally bad
that the family will never come back
again without the conditions as to no.

party, after walking and riding the

and his wife, finally obtained a little

small room in the third story of a large
boarding house for which they paid $40
per week, and at that price had to put
up with a frightfully bad table with
very dilatory service, having frequently
to sit down to a second table before
they could get anything to eat. We
have all heard stories of how guests
were lodged on cots in easements, and
in a%ttics, of people sleeping on porches,
of husbands being separated from their
wives, and of families being compelled
to bunk irrespective of sex in a single
room. One party of six, three husbands
and three wives, were assigned TO two
rooms, the three ladies in II
and the three men in another, and

Now, while the people did stand the
Inconvenience and the hardships of
this mode of life during the past season,
we can be reasonably sure that they
will not be able to repeat their eXper-
fence during the coming season. 1t is
indeed, a very bad advertisement for
the Island, and l hope | may be par
doned for saying that it shows almost
a criminal neglect on the part OF the
principal landed interests and the bust
ness men of the island to have per-
mitted such a condition of things to
exist. The manager of one hotel told

President Eliot, of Harvard Univer-
sity, will be regarded by football play
ers In all the colleges of the country
as their bitter enemy because Of the
attack he has made On their game In
his annual report The football players
Will, however, he wrong. Enemy
though he be to some of the modern
methods of the game, President Eliot
could not have done a more genuine
service to college sport than by speak
ing as he has. The professionalism on
many college teams and the exagger-
&ted follies of football hero-worship
are well enough known. President
Eliot goes deeper In his analysis and
attacks the morals of the game. Foot
ball IL now played, he tells us, as
though II were war. The stratagems,
receptions and brutalities Of war are
initiated as far as may be. The ordi-
nary standards Of honor and dishonor
are forgotten in the scientific" game.
Whatever argument may be made for
the Use of deception and treachery In
war, where the struggle Is for life and
death, no argument at all can be made
for similar methods in a contest which
Is only for amusement. The game as
1t Is now played would be condemned
by the very statement Of the charges
against 1t, even If 1t had no harmful
effect on the after lives Of it's devotees.
But since football training is a train
Ing that does not wear off, since the
football game sends many young men
from the colleges forth into the bust
ness world, there to wage ruthless
business war and help to lower stand
ards that are already low enough as 1t
Is, the evil becomeS one of the great
est Importance. The universities can
not afford to let their students be In
Ruenced for harm in such ways as
this. On President Eliot's showing
they must either make the game be.
come once more a "gentlemanly game"
or they must Danish it entirely. Even
the more radical treatment, IL 1t be-
comes necessary, will be beneficial to
genuine college sport, as we'll as to the
universities and the public.

The Kernel OF the Matter.


Sixty years ago the American revo.
luton and the war Of 1872 were near
enough to stir the young Yankee spirit
In a way unknown to the modern boy.
In that day men were still alive who
could tell tales Of a winter evening
which gave life to the poems and
school-book anecdotes Of the next
mornings lesson. The old-fashioned
Yankee boy was much aware that once
we beat the British. Such an old
fashioned bOy-now a great--grandfa-
ther-tells a story of the lusty, hu-
morous school days OF 1910.
His class was reading the history of
the close Of the revolution. The days
lesson dealt with affairs Immediately
following the surrender of Lord Corn
wallis to General Washington.
When the first boy rose to read, the
other boys were observed to be snick-
ering behind their books. But the
reader, with solemn mien, proceeded,
invariably rendering the name of the
British commander, which occurred
frequently in the paragraph, as Cob
wallis"
why, JESSE" interrupted the puz-
zled teacher, finally, why do you keep
saying Lord Corvallis? 1t Ia Corn
wallis, don't you know"
Yes. ma'am, l know his name used
to be Cornwaills," said the youngster,
delighted at getting the desired op-
portunity SO easily, but that was be-
fore General Washington shelled all
the corn OF him at the battle of York
town."

I"Thy Faith Hath Made Thee Whole"
The bishop had been out on the
edges of his great missionary district,
ministering to his people, strengthen
Ing his helpers, fastening the coming
of the kingdom. At the last settle
ment he had baptized thirty Indians
braves, squaws and stoical papOoses.
Now he was making his way, by prim-
tive and picturesque modes of travel,
to the railroad which should carry him
back to the Western city where civili-
cation began again.
He had not slept in a bed for three
weeks; his food In that time had been
coarse, monotonous, badly served by
dirty hands. Yesterday, through an ILL.,
advised movement on his part, the
canoe had upset In the rapids, and he
had narrowly escaped with his life.
And yet when the bishop considered
the hardships attendant upon his lot
and he did not often-it was only of
the Western city that he thought.
The canoe slid swiftly through the
water. The Indian in the bow and the
Indian in the stern dipped their pad
dies with rhythmical precision. The
bishop, delighting in the wild beauty
of the place, but mindful of yester-
days experience. sat very still. They
were In stretch of smooth water be-
tween steep banks. The Indian in the
bow moved his head ever so little; he
had heard something the bishop could
not hear. Then round a bend in the
river slipped another canoe, coming
toward them, full of Indians. In mid
stream they stopped abreast, exchang-
Ing greetings. The bishop could not
understand their rapid speech, but he
knew that questions were being asked
about him, and his guides were ex-
planning. Suddenly into one of the i'm
passive faces leaped a look Of joy, of
wonder, Of hopefulness. Stretching out
long, brown hand, the Indian touched
the bishop, saying:
Il got two chillen close by. Cough
very bad. You pour water on head"
And the bishop knew that his guides
had been telling the newcomers of the
baptisms in the last settlement, and Of
the little children who had come into
the kingdom. And he went back a lit
tie way with the Indians and landed.
and was taken to tiny settlement.
ana there, in wretched hut, he found |
the two children, who did indeed |
cough very bad" Looking at them.
he thought, Poor little creatures!
They cannot last through the winter"
And he baptized them and shook hands
with the grateful father, and hurried
away for he must be back In that
Western city on a certain day.
1t was more than year before the
bishop came upon that Indian again:
and then, gently, sympathetically. he
asked about the children whom he
had baptized, when, as he supposed
they were dying. The father beamed
upon him joyfully.
"Since you pour water on head those
chillen get WELL" he said.
And the bishop realized with a
shock of surprise that there had been
misunderstanding. The Indian had
not realized the meaning Of the rite
He had looked upon it as a method of
healing; and perhaps the Lord. behold.
ng his great faith, had said to him
BE 1t unto thee even as thou wilt -

Unpleasant Experience Of a Chicago

passed on, but he noticed that the
stranger who was armed With a rife,
eyed him rather curiously. He had
gone but a short distance when q

which was almost Immediately an
