BADGERS Practice Kicking.

Coach Hutchins, of the Wisconsin
team, is training his men for a
kicking game of football under the
new rules. Practically all of the
time is spent in developing some
maneuvers along these lines. Clark
and the candidates for quarter al
ternately were tried at catching and
running back punts, AID the work
showed a great improvement. Clark
was also tried at punting, and his
work received the commentator OF

Many Cross Border
Disguised as Nuns.

Some of the Chinese under the d.
rection of shrewd agents have even
passed over both the Canadian and
Rio Grande borders CARRIED as nuns.
Most of them are born imitators, anu
once they have seen their instructor
in familiar poses they follow his dl-
rections to the letter
Little is heard these days OF the
spectacular methods of running the
blockade which were once employed
by eager Chinese and have dropped in
to disuse. Chinese no longer have
themselves packed up in boxes or
chests and sent by express; neither
do they go in vans, which are likely to
be suddenly tipped into rivers. There
are seldom wild chases across the
snow from Canada to the United
States, with accompaniment of bay
ing hounds and barking revolvers.
Such methods are irregular and unre-
liable and they have been supplanted
by those which are esteemed as more
businesslike.
Chinese are not welcomed in Can
ada any more than they are mere anu
a head tax of $500 each is placed up
on them. 1t is regarded as, in fact,
prohibitive. Until three months ago,
when a law was passed assessing
them at $500 a head, no such tax was
exacted in Newfoundland.
Chinese could be carried in bond
from Vancouver without having to
pay the impost demanded of them in
the Dominion, and the result has been
that many of them availed themselves
of those conditions. 1t was until
quite recently the custom to permit
Chinese who were supposed to be on
their way to the United States with
proper credentials to remain in Cana
da for 80 days before they were noti-
fed to proceed with their journey. BY
a special arrangement, however, with

Officers Fooled by
Ingenious Makeup.

Although smuggling them across
the Canadian border is now almost
stopped, some of the most ingenious
schemes are employed with success.
1t is popular fallacy that all Chinese
look alike and that no matter how
they are arrayed they will betray at a
glance their oriental origin. There
are white men in Vancouver, B. c.,
who do not accept that theory, for
by shrewd manipulation they are able
to convert the most thoroughgoing
Chinese into an American or Canadian
farmer.
A coarse shirt, pair of blue over
alls and a straw hat will work won
ders in the hands of an expert. Par
ties of Chinese going across the Do
minion in bond not infrequently leave
the trains 40 or SO miles before reach
ing the boundaries of the United
States. Here they are taken in hand
by one who understands something of
theatrical makeup and converted into
tramps, farmers or whatever he thinks
would be best suited to their talents.
After that it is a walk. to the border
and in many cases it is possible for
the coolies to gain their destination
Once within the borders of this coun-
try they usually prowl 40 or SO miles
farther before they think it safe to
board train and proceed in a more
conventional manner.
Chinese have been intercepted in
the state of Washington making their
way on boats in the rivers, ostensibly
bound to work as laborers on some of

the large farms. They are disguised
as immigrants of other nationalities.
Many of them have essayed the roles
of Italians, after incasing themselves
in corduroy Jackets and trousers and
tying gayly colored silken handker-
chiefs about their necks.
1t is along the Rio Grande border,
however, that the smuggling OF dis
guised Chinese is conducted with con-
summate finesse. The scheme In
use there, if followed by really cap
able Chinaman, are usually effective.
Hundreds of the more intelligent are
landed in Havana and at Mexican
ports, whence they can make their
way to this country.
Chinese immigration is welcomed In
Mexico. There is a tradition pre-
served in the old histories OF the Ce-
lestial empire that centuries ago
trading junks from China landed on
the western coast Of Mexico and
opened up commercial relations with
the subjects of Montezuma. The chi
nese often have in mind this ancient
relation when they go to the country
over which rules President Diaz. Inc
Chiese learn Spanish, adopt the Mex
lean dress and manners, learn to wear
a sombrero with grace and often, al
ter waiting for two years to perfect
themselves in being imitation Mexl-
cans, they bodily cross the southern
border and make their way to the
nearest Chinatown.

NATION TO CARE FOR SUFFERERS
President Declines Offers of Assist
ance From Abroad.

Washington, April 21.-Every
branch of the government service,
from the president down, is bending
every effort to bring to the earthquake
sufferers relief. The cabinet consid-
cred the San Francisco situation and
it was decided that Secretary Metcalf
should proceed to that city as the rep
resentative of the national government
and consult with the authorities as to
what is needed to alleviate distress.
Every available vessel in the vicinity
of San Francisco has been directed to
carry supplies of every description to
the stricken city Of San Francisco and
render other assistance, while officers
of the army on the Pacific coast and
elsewhere have been given imperative
instructions to ship tents, ratiols,
medical and other relief supplies and
to cooperate with the local authorities
of San Francisco and the state off,
Gals to the common end. Offers of
assistance from abroad have been
very gratifying to the president. but
he feels the United States is able to
care for the San Francisco sufferers,
and contributions from foreign coun-
tries will be declined.

Chicago, April 21.-Measures for the
relief Of the sufferers from the Cali

creasing energy throughout the coun-
try. Among the relief developments
were the following: The United

Oil company, Andrew Carnegie and
William Waldorf Aston gave 100000
each; the legislature of Massachusetts,
voted 100000 Columbus, O., raised
$780, 900 within an hour, and Pittsburg
$100, 900. At a mass meeting in Bos-
ton it was resolved to raise S1,000,0 900.
The New York Chamber of Commerce
fund has passed the 100000 mark,
while Mayor Dunno of Chicago reports
S450,000 on his list, with much more
in prospect, States, cities, villages
and hamlets the country over are add

MAJOR GENERAL LEONARD WOOD.

Spanish war, when he organized and
assumed command of the famous regi-
ment of rough riders in which Presi-
dent Roosevelt was lieutenant colonel.
General Wood holds a congressional
medal of honor which was awarded
him for bravery in a campaign against
Apahes. His career is a notable illus
tration of the FRANKS of fortune. An
old friend Of General Wood M said:
"Some time in the fall of 1877
don't recall the exact date-I re-
ceived q letter from General Wood. He
wound up by saying that he was think
ing strongly of making a trip into the
Klondike country, which was then the
sensation Of the hour. The exact word
ing escapes me, but the inference was
that the future looked rather blank
in short, that he would have to do
something then, If ever. and the Klon-
dixie seemed to offer a chance. In less
than four months after getting this de-
spondent letter the Maine was destroy
ed, and the circumstances were in mo-
ton that were destined to put a gener-
ais stars on the docs shoulder straps,
and surfeit him with glory. If he had
made the necessary arrangements in
1897 l dare say he would be sitting to-
day in a miners cabin"

NO MAN Is STRONGER THAN
HIS STOMACH.

Let the greatest athlete have dyspepsia
and his muscles would soon fail. Physi-
cal strength is derived from food. If a
man has insufficient food he loses strength.
If he has no food he dies. Food is con-
verified into nutrition through the Stom-
ach and bowels. 1t depends on the
strength OF the stomach to what extent
food eaten is digeSted and asSimilated.
People can die of starvation who have
abundant food to eat, when the stomach
and its associate organs of digestion and
nutrition do not perform their duty.
Thus the stomach is really the vital or
gan of the body. If the stomach is Uweak"
She body will be weak also, because it is
upon the stomach the body relies for it's
strength. And as the body, considered as
4 whole, is made up of its several mem
bers and organs, so the weakness of the
body as a consequence of "weak" stom-
ach will be distributed among the or
gans which compose the body. If the
body is weak because it is ill-nourished
that physical weakness will be found in
al h o~rganS-heart, liver, kidneys, etc.
The liver will be torpid and inactive,
giving rise to ~biliousnesS, loss of appetite,
weak nerves, feeble or irregular action of
heart, palpitatiOn, dizziness, headache,
backache and kindred disturbances and
weaknesses.

1t is proposed from now on to send
fresh supplies on nearly every through
passenger train, and by the first of
the week to send a freight train of at
least fifteen cars loaded to capacity
with things to eat and to wear.
