AMATEUR ATHLETIC UNION.
Atlantic Body Expelled From Powerful
Association.

NEW YORK, November 21-Sensational
developments marked the seventeenth an
nual meeting of the Amateur Athletic Union
of the United States. held yesterday at the
Grand Union Hotel Chief among these de-
velopments was the expulsion from the ma
tional body of the Atlantic Association, at
one time one Of the unions strongest MEM
bers. owing to the defiant attitude taken by
the Atlantic's board of managers in the
case Of Frank ]. Floyd. alias Jack, Egan,

The registration committee Of the Atlantic
Association, through it's chairman, T. L.

held in Boston. After the tournament the
Boston championship committee found out
the facts and presented them to the notice
Of the A. A. q. and the Atlantic Associa-
ton. The latter body refused to take any
action toward disciplining the officials who
had countenanced the evasion, and so 1t re-
manned for the present A. A.. U. board to
take action.
In addition. Floyd has been ordered to
return all prizes which he won while boxing
under his assumed name.

Fees for Examinations.

Examinations are now given by the COM
mission without cost to applicants, but the
chief examiner calls attention TO the great
expense in the preparation and rating of
papers, correspondence, recording, printing,
photolithographing, etc., and recommends
that fee be charged each applicant. He
suggests fees ranging from so cents for
the simple third-grade examinations, such
as Waterman, messenger, printers assistant
etc, to 50 or more for important examina-
lions requiring unusual time in the prepare
ton and rating of papers, such as for civil
engineer. patent office examiner, etc. At
tention Is called to the fact that the Post
Office Department is partly self-sustaining
on account of the charges for-the stamp,
money order and registry systems: that the
patent office is more than self-sustaining on
account of receipts for examining and
clerical work involved in determining rights
for patents. and that a considerable sum
is collected by the Library Of Congress and
the land Office for examining any clerical
work in connection with land grants and

Civil Service District Work.

Attention is called to the satisfactory re-
suits that have followed the organiza ton OF
the civil service districts. There are twelve
of these districts, with headquarters at Bos-

st. Paul, st. Louis, Denver. Portland Ore

tract from the report indicates the work
deyolving upon the district boards:
The district boards are charged with the
duty Of furnishing information to appii-
cants and to public officials concerning civil
service matters. They also hold the AK
aminations of the commission throughout
the United States and make certificatIons
for appointments to fill vacancies in the DIFF
ferent branches of the service In their re-
spective districts. Examinations are held
and certifcations for appointment are now
made to ill vacancies much more promptly
than was the case before the district
method was adopted. All certifcations for
appointment are checked at the commission
where all examination papers are prepared
and rated. Although the district plan ex-
pedites the business Of the commission with

SELLING UNRIPE HONEY.
1t Will Always Hurt the Business of
the Honey Raiser as Well as the
Honest Competitor.

The bee-keeper who places unripe
money on the market, is not insuring
his own business as honey producer
but is injuring the business of every
one else who produces honey for the
markets. Nectar not properly evapo-
rated and ripened is a long way off
from being honey. in the sense that.
honey should be taken either for food
or medicine.
1t is great pity, says the Mid
land Farmer. that all kinds of bust
ness have their scalpers who desire
20 place their products on the market
unfinished and incomplete. For years
the producers of farm butter have suf-
fered the loss of hundreds of thousands
OF dollars from this cause alone, and
now the shiftless honey producer is
coming in for his share of the loss in
his great hurry to get his sO-called
honey upon the market before the bees
have had time to evapOrate the water
therefrom and ripen it so that it may
be called honey. If consumers would
refuse to have a thing to do with So
called hOneys which do not weigh ~
pounds to the gallon. it might be that
the shiftless producer of nectar for
the market would be compelled to
keep his product until it was fully
ripened.

Feeding the Male Bird

keep him healthy and vigorous occa
sionally a male bird is so gallant that

most of the food, if not all of it, and
he will 90 hungry. In this case it is
a goOC idea to place him in a pen by
himself at feeding time and see that

expected from the mating.

DUDLEY'S FAULT.

Early last spring Dudley sitting in
the bosom of his family-or, to be
strictly accurate, in the parlor where
his sister Louise and his cousin Mona
were reading-picked up a copy of the
Home Helper and studied it's contents.
Listen, my little sunbeams," he be-
gan, presently.
"Eh?' said his cousins, politely.
Louise continued her reading Being
, nearer relative, she didn't have to
be so polite.
Il say, listen, my little sunbeams."
Don't be silly" said Louise.
A panied look overspread Dudley's
face. The Young Gentlemans Col
umn' of this magazine says that man
should always use endearing terms
when addressing his sister," he ex-
planned. Heretofore l have saved
them for the sisters of other men"
Keep still, Dudley; we want to
read"
Very well, but in about two weeks
you will say that we need an icebox."
Louise dropped her book and looked
interested. 81 saw one to-day in a store
downtown and it was only"
Never mind the price, for l am go
ing to make one as per instructions in
this magazine"
I'VE can't afford to let you" There
was distress in Louise's voice and even
Mona looked alarmed.
You never profit by my hints on
household economy"
mo, We always lose. You buy a
piece of pottery when we are in dire
need of a teakettle."
/ 81 have it right in this magazine that
if the poor could have their love for
the beautiful cultivated they would be-
come ambitious, work harder and make
more money. Who knows but in time
if l bring home some more pottery
you and Mona will earn enough to
send me on a trip to Europe?"
Don't be silly" commanded Louise
again. And remember that Mona and
have money to help buy a first-class
refrigerator, but if you are going to
run the house | shall squander my
money morrow"

The next afternoon, while his enthu-
siasm was still high, Dudley left the
Office two hours early, thereby losing
contract, and hunted for a lumber
yard. Be not deceived, they are not as
accessible as are drug stores. March
ing into the Office of one which he
finally discovered, he said to the ex-
pectant clerk: 'I'd like to leave an
order for some lumber. Please send
two boards two feet wide and two one
foot"
1t was long past dark when Dudley
reached home, with the boards under
his arm. He had walked part way, for
people on the street car seemed to
think he was beating some deserving
! teamster out of work
Although the magazine article said
that any man of intelligence could con-
struct an icebox in two hours, 1t was
Two weeks later that Dudley brought
the box up from the basement.
oh" exclaimed Louise. what a dear
little thing! | have always wanted
shirt-waist box, but that is too small.
You know, own two waists besides
the one | have on
1T will do for handkerchiefs," sug-
gested Mona. Now, Dudley, don't get
mad. II is really very pretty. The only
trouble is that if it is to rest on the
floor we can't put pan under it TO
catch the water"
"Confound it, | forgot all about the
legs" said Dudley. "Pll have the car
penter finish it,.
"On the whole" said Louise, 1T
hasn't cost you much more than real
refrigerator and your experience in
driving nails will help you on your
journey through life"
Make a duplicate of it so we can
keep the food in one box and the ice
in the other" advised Mona
we can get the cream and butter
in even when there is ice" said Dud-
ley. And" he added, triumphantly,
that is about all we ever have left
from a meal, anyway"
Dudley thought his troubles ended,
but they had only begun. For when
the iceboX was really ready for prac-
teal use each morning an iceman had
10 be tagged and induced to bring ten
cents worth of ice up three flights of
stairs Each morning and evening the
pan under the box had to be emptied
TO avoid serious complications with the
people in the fiat below. If Louise or
J Mona stayed downtown to dinner and
Dudley went home he was greeted in
the parlor by sign, Don't forget to
empty the iceboX pan" Stuck in the
mirrow of his dresser was another, "Be
sure to empty the pan under the ice
box" Stuck on the sugar bowl was
another. Empty the pan"
In self-protection he finally balanced
the box over the sink whenever Louise
was going out to dinner. If. during
The day, the ice shifted its position
as it usually did-the cream bottle as
sumed a horizontal position and some
one had to be sent down three flights
