CASE OF TRUE LOVE
MUST BE SUSPENDED
Peter Clark Could Not Get Married
Quietly and Therefore Declared it
off.

1t may be that Peter Clark and
Miss Winnie Dillon were unosten-
atiously married somewhere yester-
day, but according to the records the
ceremony did not take place in Ham
mond. AS it looks now Mr. Clark's
cautiosuness and extreme modesty
got the better of his affection, for
few hours at least 1t will never
be known perhaps whether or not
Cupid was compelled to take the
count and arrange q new match. It
may be that Miss Winnie Dillon has
become disguised with her cautious
lover and tipped him the fatal 2S as.

young person who made up her mind

which are introduced some of those
sweet rosy tinted young shoots Of To-

the single candlesticks on each side

full trails of smilax appear through the

The dainty finger bowls, each shaped
IKE full blown rose of the most del

the water a tiny rosebud and few
petals of roses similar to those on the
table. One of the charms of this par
ticular decoration lies in the fact of
its being entirely innocent of wiring.
Net a wire is used to keep the roses in
position, and all who have experienced
the tedious but hitherto necessary pre-
liminaries of wiring roses will appre-
ciate this point E1other charm In
connection with this scheme is that
every flower Is in water The secret,
a very simple one, is that a new and
ingenious little receptacle Is used at
the base of the foliage arches, which,
only about an inch in depth, is so con
trived that it not only keeps the stalks

A WONDERFUL MEMORY.
The story Marcus Told OF Young
Coraican Marvel.

Inc Story DA a OdA@
Corsican Marvel.
Maretus tells us that during his trav-
els over Europe he met the marvel of
marvels" at Padua. The marvel in
question was young Corsican who
was in the city for the purpose of pur-
suing his studies at the university.
Marcus. having heard that the young
man was gifted with an extraordinary
memory, desired TO put the student to
the test.
The person who had informed the
traveller concerning the wonderful re-
tentiveness Of the young Corsican's
memory declared that he was SO gifted
in that faculty that he could repeat as
many as $4,000 words if read over to
him but once. Marcus and three dis
tinguished Venetians agreed to test the
accuracy of the statement. 4 commit
/ tee visited the student of extraordinary
memory and found him willing to sub
nit to the ordeal Accordingly there
was read over to him an almost inter
minable list of words strung together
without any consecutive order and
without any meaning whatever.
The young man stood all the time
with his attention deeply fixed and his
eyes half closed. When the long string
of words had been read of he looked
/ up cheerfully and repeated the whole OF
the uninteresting catalogue of words
without single fault Then to show
how carefully his wonderful memory
had retained every word he went
through the list backward When that
task was finished he took each alter
nate word-frst, third, fifth, etc.-and
repeated them until the company was
thoroughly convinced that they were II
the presence of the most wonderful
prodigy of memory that the world had
ever produced.

opposition owing to the uncertainty

HARVARD CREW IN FINE FETTLE
Great Interest Aroused In Coming
Aquatic struggle on Thames. ,

PUTNEY, England, Aug. 25-It has been
many years since an aquatic struggle has
aroused so much interest and enthusiasm
in this country as the forthcoming Har-
vard-Cambridge race. The uncertainty ra-
garding the form of the American crew
has added zest to the encounter, but the
most conservative of the English critics
admit that there is military precision in
the Harvard boat which no English anna
teur coach is likely to produce. When the
Americans first took the water, at Bourne
End, no one considered them to be prob
able winners over Cambridge, but few
days has wrought great change and the
Cambridge men, at first fairly sure of VIC
tory see that they will be given hard
race. t.
Despite the temporary loss of the serv-
Ices of Richardson and Glass the American
crew soon settled down to work and
showed themselves to be worthy opponents
rowing teams ever turned out by an Eng
lish university.
When the crews came to Putney the
Englishmen again rose in favor, but no al
lowance was made for the fact that Cam
bridge was thoroughly at home on the tide
way, while Harvard was in strange, tricky
water, with mysterious currents, knowledge
of which was of the greatest advantage.
The Americans, nevertheless, quickly inn
proved and the latest times taken of their
trials make the issue of the struggle most
doubtful.
The composition of the Harvard crew
still is unsettled and II remains to be seen
whether the inclusion of G. Morgan will
strengthen the team to the extent that
has been expected.

Dodge lacked control as usual. but was

pitched. Too bad 1t was not possible to

War Sanders gave superb exhibition
Of pitching Exactly twenty-elght men
faced him in that second game and he
allowed but two hits, did not pass a man
and was as cool and strong at the end
as at the start. Not until the eighth
inning did a Des Moines player reach
FIRST base. They went down. one, two,
three In quick succession and in the sew
enth Sanders pitched just three balls,
retiring the side on little inneld scratches.
In the eighth inning Doyle opened with
o. hit over second base and reached Sec
ond by welch allowing the ball to roll
past him, but got no further. The next
two men went out on long flys to Autrey
and Mr.. Doyle took good care not to at
tempt to go to third on the throw either
time. Magoon retired the side on an in
neld hit. Wolf got hit in the last In
ming and in attempting to stretch it to a
double was nipped at second by the great
Autrey.
Sanders was simply invincible. He
worried and harassed the Des Moines
sluggers until he had them completely
ut his mercy. He seemed to exert no
efrort for Misunderstanding but two
but could put the ball just where he
wanted to for each batter, The great
difference between Manske and Sanders
was that Sanders apparently did not
exert himself except his BRAIN while
Manske was completely exhausted when
