There is tree that grows in Mexico
called the chiJol, or stone tree. 1t Is
of enormous proportions, both In cir
conference and height. 1t has num-
Der of branches spreading out widely
and carrying leaves of yellowish
green color. The wood Is extremely
fine and easily worked In green state.
1t Is not given to either warping or
splitting. The most remarkable thing
about It IL that after being cut the
wood gets gradually harder, and In the
course Of few years 1t Is absolutely
petrified whether left In the open air
or buried In the ground. From this
timber houses can be built that would
in few years become completely fire
proof and would last as long as though
built OF stone.

Conceive Your Ambition Clearly and
Follow 1t Courageously.
We all can measure the outward tri-
umph of mans life, but we rarely
measure the forces out of which the
triumph sprang. Men suddenly emerge
into the blaze of fame, and then the
world wakes up and wonders how 1t
has all happened. There is no such
thing as luck in any world over which
God presldes. What, then. Is the Sc
cret? 1t is purpose. The great victo-
ries which men praise are always won
first of all in mans own soul. The
great men who stamp themselves in
effaceably on the ages are always the
men who are capable of conceiving a
purpose clearly and of following 1t
courageously through evil and good re-
port. You may sweep aside as rela-
lively trivial all questions of the range
of their gifts. the scope of their intel
lectual life The great thing which
you have to reckon with is the i'm
mense strength and heroic perslstency
OF their purpose.-W. J. Dawson.

LAUNCHES RACE FOR CUP
Dispute Among Owners Settled by
Impromptu Race on San

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SAN DIEGO, Oct. 21.-For several
years there has been a dispute between
the captains of the various large
launches on the bay as to which was
the fastest boat, and each has claimed
that his boat could tow the others
without the least difficulty.
Yesterday afternoon, at the time of
the reception at Fort Rosecrans by
Mrs. Kneedler, wife of the post sur
geon, there was an excellent oppor-
tunity for them to try conclusions,
and silver cup was offered to the
launch that would land its passengers
at the Fort Rosecrans wharf first.
There were three in the race-'the
Gen. De Russy, the Point Iona, and
the Dolphin. The De Russy was in
command of Capt Cresswell, assisted
by Col. Keyes; the Point Iona by
Capt. Oakley Hall, assisted by Gen.
Wogdes, and the Dolphin by Capt
Lutz and Gen. Haskell.
The start was made at the CONNER
cial wharf, and the three kept we'll
together all the way down the bay,
but. at the quarantine station the Point
Iona pulled 10 the front and beat the
other two boats by the fractional part

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal,
Oct. 21.-In the seventh annual foot
ball game between Stanford and Uni
versity of Nevada the Cardinal pig

sagebrush into camp by the score of
q to 0.
Stanford started things off in rush.
After Nevada had fumbled her first

! ball squarely between the posts Oh a
| beautiful drop kick from the twenty
| five yard line.
Even though the Cardinals were
playing pretty fair ball at this time the
horseshoe was in evidence, for Nevada
fumbled again on her twenty-yard line.
Stanford got the ball and rushed it
over their opponents goal in three
plays. Dole kicked goal making the
score 10 to O.
Stanford seemed ashamed to be Win
ming by mere luck, so determined to
do a few things for herself. By hard
| and sensational playing Stanford car
ried the ball from the kickoff straight
to touchdown. This was football of
the real article, and after this burst
the Cardinal men settled back in their
traces, and during the remainder Of
the game did not do as we'll
At the time this real brand of ball
was being served up the work of two
men stood out brilliantly-Crow at full
and Crawford at tackle Crawford Is
only a freshman, but his work was
sensational. He is good on defense ard
very aggressive, making many yards
on tackle formations.
By his work today he has appar-

making sixteen points In first half the
Stanfordites seemed to take things
easy, 700 easy for the enjoyment of
| the spectators. In a mere burst of
form Stanford bucked and ran the ends
for fifty yards to another touchdown.
Dole failed at goal. Score, 81 to 0.
Nevada played good stiff game and
found a vulnerable place at Stanford's
ends. Had they not fumbled so badly
they would have made it exceedingly
interesting for their opponents. Ends
for blue and white team did the best
