Tut. tut. the bill will not touch the

would render cheap alcohol none the

would take away somewhat from the

Records Of athletic events contain
numerous instances in which the men
who have won the contests In which
they were engaged have done so only
to drop dead as n result of their exer-
ttons. In America such incidents are
perhaps more unusual than in other
countries because Of the fact that the
condition of the athlete is as a rule
perfect, for death ensuing in such
cases Is for the most part resultant
because the contestant has not prop
erly trained.
Carter. a noted pugilist. at the COM
mencement Of the last century. who
also possessed no mean pedestrian
powers. offered John Powers. Lam
cashire athlete. fifty yards in a mile
race. says an English exchange. The
challenge was accepted and the con-
test duly came of. When little over
half the distance had been Travelled
the runners were level. 4 ding-dong
race then ensued until fifty yards from
the end, when, with a desperate squirt,
Powers rushed ahead. Just as he
stumbled. fell, and. borne onward by
the impetus Of his pace. rolled past
the winning post a winner. but dead
man.
At Bruen. some time since. an en-
traordinary scene was witnessed.
Among the booths as the local fair
was that of a troupe of wrestlers. one
of whom, after the regular program
had been gone through. issued a gem
eral challenge. The cartel was taken
up BY one of the spectators. a man of
immense weight and strength, whose
knowledge of the art was seen, OH the
rivals getting to grips to be in nowise
despicable. Indeed. soon the profess
siOnal found out that he had met his
match. and after sharp tussle he
was fairly thrown. and lay helpless
beneath the ponderous weight OF his
opponent. But the latter mode no
attempt to rise. His huge form lay
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. and lifeless.
An equally tragic and even more
extraordinary incident took place in
1916 at Sevenoaks. The occasion was
a match between fifteen local players
and five of the Hambledon Cricket
club. captained by the earl of Tanker
Vile. 1t was the second inning of the
club, who. with their last wicket to
fall. still wanted two runs to win the
match. T. Sueeter. the batsman, faced
the bowler, JUL, a local baker. The
latter delivered the ball. but scarce
had it left his hand when he staggered
and fell to the ground. The next Sec
ond the wicket of Sueeter. whose at
tention had doubtless been diverted by
the bowler's fall. was shivered, and
the game was Won by the dead man,
for dead JUL was. the excitement hav-
ing doubtless fatally affected his heart.

intention or wearing them during the
rest of her life. A daughter wore black
for three years to make manifest her be-
reavement For half OF that period she
had her costume trimmed with Grape.
The clothes OF mother expressed her
sorrowa the loss OF son or daughter for
the same length of time. When a sister or
brother died the children of the family
donned black for two years.
For aunts. uncles, grandparents, nieces,
nephews and cousins mourning was fire.
dpently worn for year. Retirement from
ali social gaities and festivities was cor
rect conduct for both near and distant
relatives. Persons who did not conform to
these unwritten laws were considered
heartless and they fell accordingly in the
estimation OF their acquaintances.
All this Is now changed The fashion of
wearing deep. heavy black is modified and
convention no longer insists upon the Sc
clusion OF the family while wearing an
outward badge OF grief.
Months instead OF years are now con-
sidered the proper length OF time for
