BE merciful to me. fool!'"
Behind the painted mask none cared
TO look, the jester himself least of ALL
With 1t on he dared to approach the
princess. Unmasked and dressed as
humankind, he consorted only with
the serfs of the show. That is why
he liked the mask best. Yaco-com-
panion of mock lords and dukes-was
better than Barney Fairleigh, derelict
On the tide of life. She smiled at
Yaco, but looked not toward Barney.
Ii made all the difference in the
world. Of course the play demanded
the smiles, but nevertheless they came
quite natural, and increased her
beauty.
At one place he bowed so low be-
fore her that she placed a tiny foot
upon his impossible hair, and this is
the nearest he ever came to touching
her. The thrill of that contact made
him her slave. While he played the
footstool, the TESTERS eyes modestly
sought the floor. His dismissal came
VIXEN the princess said:
waco, away! Here comes his high
ness!"
The heir apparent, all gold and vel
vet, was tall and black-eyed and
young. Yaco hated him with right
good will. The princess loved him
in the play. In reality, she did not
know. The prince loved her in the
play and imagined he did in reality.
Before the footlights he had rival,
whom the audience saw was unworthy
of her. In natural life the coast was
clear. On the stage the prince made
time. Just before the curtain fell on
the last act the fool sang a quaint love
song over the happy ending of the ro-
nance between the prince and the
princess. Then he slouched over to a
saloon and took the taste of the song
from his mouth. He mistrusted the
prince off the stage, but was his loyal
servant while on it.
To an outsider the situation would
have seemed complex. To the fool it
was crystal clear. The lady could not
love him; she ought not love the
prince; the prince did not know how
to love her. All these between the
dropping of the last curtain on one
night and it's ascent the next night
'tStand back, thou fool!" the gallant
prince said when he sought to kiss
the lady's hand.
And the fool stood back.
But that was in the play, and as the
heroine smiled indulgently he did not
mind.
When the court of tinsel and paint
ed castles had moved far to the west
ward there came a dreary day. The
people who were expected to pay the
customs that the throne might stand
became sadly remiss in their obliga-
tons, and mercenary landlords and
shoukeepers, unawed by royalty, clam
Ore6 for their shekels. The prince

one person, at least, had heard them

that He created the world. He
creates it increasingly. He is the
Soul of the universe. He is the in
Unite I. He is-Adele, you are
asleep!"
This abrupt accusation was hurled
at Madame Hugo. Since dinner she
had been huddled in an armchair, her
chin resting on her chest, her hands
folded and her eyelids closed. Her
breathing had been suspiciously regu-
lar. Now, at this onslaught she
reused herself.
You dear, great thing" she pro-
tested, "how could you possibly i'm

we're talking?" .--..

WASN'T IN HIS LINE.
Janitor's Excellent Reason for Not
Moving Piano.


The piano stuck on the landing and
there was blockade, while the other
tenants suddenly discovered that it
was imperative that they should leave
the house at that moment. Most Of
them accepted the situation with phil
osophy, but the woman from the top
dat was in hurry.
why don't you lift it over the top
OF the banisters?" she stormed, un-
mindful of the fact that the corner
posts were unusually high. 81 thing
1t is an outrage for mover to send
men not strong enough to handle a

pianner as high as that we cd get all
the jobs we wanted on the stage.
What we need is another man."
This gave the irate one an idea.
William" she called, leaning over
the rail to address the hall boy, why
don't you help these men? Can't you
see that we are all being detained be-
cause these poor fellows are not
strong enough to lift that awkward
thing? Come and help them this in

No, m'm," said William, solemnly.

So she went to the roof and came
down through the next house.

The most common fault in case

The most common fault in case
# this kind is that there is a lack OF
what is known as humus or organic
substances. This humus warns the
soil, lets in air, aids drainage and
also holds moisture. When lnere is
too little of it present the earth be-
comes soggy and cold in a wet sea-
son, and either bakes or is too wet In
dry season. Any one OF these con-
ditions makes it harder for plants to
grow and take food from tie soil"

NEBRASKA TO TRAIN
AT SOUTH BEND
Special to The Journal.


Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 17.-Assistant Coach
Westover and Captain Borg, after a series Of
trips on an automobile in quest of desirable
training camp for the Nebraska football squad,
have chosen the state fisheries at South Bend,
the place Of the camp of four years ago, as
the best suited location. The South Bend camp
affords superb bathing facilities, and the only
drawback Is that supplies must be freighted
across the Platte river by boat. It's other ad
yantages however, make it superior loca-
tlon, and Westover and Borg had no hesitancy
in making their choice
The probability that freshmen will not be
permitted to play against any of the conference
teams has knocked big hole in Nebraska's
chances for the coming gridiron season, but
Captain Borg is not downcast. He has discov-
cred that large number of new men regis
tered for the final semester of the school year
just ended, and that they will be eligible for
football under the conference rules. Three or
four Of them tip the beam at upwards of 200
pounds. They are avowed football candidates,
and, having had previous experience at the
game, Borg looks upon them as formidable can
didates for line positions The enforcement of
the freshmen rule will likely be accompanied by
the establishment Of freshmen team indie
pendent Of the scrub elevens.
This will give the new men experience for the
following year, when they will be full-fedgef
candidates for the first eleven. schedule of
games is to be arranged for the freshmen eleven,
and they will be given attention second only
to the varsity.

Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE Upton cup remains
in the possession of the Detroit Country club
FOR another season. In the most spectacular race
OF the series, sailed yesterday in spanking
breeze, Ste. Claire again demonstrated her supe-
riority to all the other yachts entered for the
trophy by registering d third easy victory and
winning the cup
whirlwind finish marked the end of the
races. From the first gun to the last Mendoza,
the Milwaukee clubs crack racer, gave the
fight for first place. 1t was perfect Mendoza
weather, and Skipper Brown for the first time
in the series drove his boat to the limit of
speed. 1t was only by the margin of minute
and some odd seconds that Ste. Claire led across
the finishing line. Hooser was scarcely a
contender.
Mcclure only sent his boat into the race at the
urgent persuasion of the Columbia club off,
Gals after he had decided to withdraw. AS it
was, the battle SCARED old black hulled boat
started ten minutes late and dropped out of the
race after sailing two legs Of the square course.
Quien Sabe only contender for leg,
the first a close-hauled reach Going into the
wind the second leg of the course she sagged
astern hopeless, and thereafter negligible
factor in the race.
The struggle lay entirely between the two WIS.,
iting boats, Mendoza and Ste. Claire, and they
fought every inch of the twelve-mile course
Between these two it was battle Of shippers
as well as boats. And the fighting of it fur
nfshed the only really thrilling incident Of the
series. At any stage of the race little
luck would have given victory to Mendoza.
Taking the boats and off the wind, there
is not the slightest doubt that the boats
sailed Ste. Claire completely outclassed the
others and won the cup strictly on her merits.
