CAPTAIN DAVID J. MAIN OF DARTMOUTH. and the question "Who did it?' is an, swered by the student body as unit Main"
 Outside of hard work, the secret of Mains success has been his leading of the other players by constant encour- agement. While other football leaders have joined the coaches in resorting to abuse in attempting to get the best out of the men, the Dartmouth captain has cheered his men on to victory. At his position at left halfback he can reach the ear of every player on the team.
 In the Princeton game he constantly called to the men to Keep 1t up!" When a player made yard or two it was That's the work; now, agaln!' and even if an attempt to gain proved loss before the mek were on their feet Main was shouting: Good at. tempt! Try it again. Now-harderr'
 And harder they did play. It has been clean, straight football with Dart all ocd5Uu, dc nCA dClCatc0 vals have testified, and as each game progressed the Hanover players have seemed to grow stronger and stronger.
 Main did not play in the Harvard game because of injuries he received in the contest with Amherst, but be was on the side lines, and his presence was enough for the rest of the team to do their best.
 Hutchinson, the Yale substitute quar- terback, is now looked on as one of the best football generals in the country. In the great Princeton-Yale game at New Haven recently Hutchinson's work was nothing short of sensational. His runs, tackles and management of the team stamped him as a genuine find" The regular Yale quarter. Jones, al- though splendid player. was not miss ed at all by Yale. Jones was laid up by an accident to an ankle.
 Hutchinsor's star play against Prince ton was a run of twenty yards, during

COCKTAIL AT THREE FORKS
Deccction That Was Too Much for Cowboys and the Mixer Had
 to Drink It.

"I was standing in the barroom in a resort at Three Forks said travel ing man, waiting for the proprietor to arrive, in the hope of placing a small order. While I was waiting, two cowboys. wrapped in fur coats. their own dignity and reputation as the top riders of the country which stretches away toward the head of Willow Creek, came into the saloon anG, marching up to the bar, demand ed cocktail.
 ''The bartender looked nonplussed for moment, but he was not to be shut out, 80 he grabbed the biggest glass he could find behind the bar and immediately got busy. If there was anything there he missed putting into that glass, from the salt and pepper sauce used to flavor the beer, to the snippings from the ends of the cigars which he found in the cigar cutter I could not see it, and when he had finely finished he had two big beer glasses full of the mixture.
 ''The boys both tasted the beverage, and it did not taste good. Each had unlimbered big gun and, playfully toying with the weapons, they sug- gested that the bartender drink his own mixture. It required some per suasion. but finally, to avoid trouble. he swallowed the contents of both glasses. Now, make your will, you would-be poisoner,' shouted the punch CTS, and solemnly they put their guns back where they belonged, treated the house to the cigars and faded away into the distance, their horses hitting only the high spots as they disap- peared up the valley.
 "And I tell you. the impromptu bar tender had good occasion to make his will. For three or four hours he was the sickest man [ ever saw, and it took the services of doctor, who worked over him for an hour or two. to bring him back to life again"

YOUNG MAN FROM JAPAN.
Knew But Few Words of English, Yet Know How to Be
 Polite.

The other day, at a railroad station, Japanese young man was noticed among several Americans, who were eating, that is. bolting, their food by jerks. He knew but few words of Eng fish, but managed to call for some oysters and coffee He ate and drank with most exquisite manners, and at- tracted much attention by his frequent use of T beg your pardon" When he wanted the pepper, upon reaching for it, he said in sweet voice to the man before whom he had to pass his arm: T beg your pardon" One coarse fel- low, who sat with his hat tilted over one eye, surprised even himself by pushing the plate of crackers toward the polite little Japanese without even being asked. He did not look up, as if ashamed of being caught in the act.
 Conversing afterward with the young man from Japan he admitted. that he knew less than 100 words of our lan- guage. beg your pardon, thank you. if you please and you are very kind were phrases he could speak very dis tinctly, and bx means of them made his way wherever he went.
 Politeness costs nothing and is the passport to every good in life. It never fails to bring returns. This Jap was unlike little American girl I know, aged i've.
 Recently her father brought home a humorous book, teaching politeness by showing the shockingly bad manners of a family of children.
 Edna" he said, q hore these funny pictures and stories will help you to be more polite"
 "It's of no use, papa It will take more than e book to teach me man. ners. You can't teach an old dog new tricks"

MORAL VIEW OF TIPS"
Philosophical Essay Distributed tc the Guests of c Summer
 Hotel.

At one of the summer resorts where hotel life comes very near being robbed of all its terrors. the following circular is given to the guests:
 Tips and fees: The evils and annoy ances of this custom are generally con- ceded. Tips are given for one or more of the following reasons:
 Custom. which is mere imitation.
 Fear of being thought mean. which is cowardice.
 Desire to be thought generous. which is vanity.
 Desire to help the poor. which is charity.
 Desire for some favor inconsistent with full justice to others, which Is bribery.
 Because. in some places no reason able service can be had without tip ping. which is 'hold-up" by ser wants. Because some eKtra service is wished. not covered by the price paid, which Is commendabls desire to pay for all received.
 Appreciation of satisfactory service already rendsnred. or of personal lik- ing. which is generosity and good vill.
 Our employss have bsen selected as sslf-rezpecting and unwilling to put themselves fn the plaos of ordinary hotel servants. They are neither ob- iects of charity nor social briERnds.
 From the first Eve motives our guests should be free. and from the sirth motive our employees are free If prompted by the last two. al should bs willing to accpt the plan. carefully mztured sftsr ten yssrs' experience. 10 pay fer extras la the regular bills and to reward for specially msritorious service only sf the end of visits.
