 That is a most interesting apple of dis cord which has been thrown by the late Miss Anna Jeanes into the council room of the trustees of Swarthmore college at Swarthmore, Pa Miss Jeanes, by will. leaves coal properties valued at $,00o,0o0 to Swarthmore on condition that the man. agement shall discontinue and abandon all participation in intercollegiate sports and games" Miss Jeanes came of an old Philadelphia Quaker family. and is said to have been interested for the last 10 years in Buddhism. She seems to have been opposed to violent contentious, even in sports To our mind the situation is much like that of . young man who IS tempted to marry rich girl. The pri- mary question is not whether there are millions more or millions less to her for tune, but whether he Is going to like the girl and be happy with her. If not her money counts for nothing. Would Swarthmore be happyq with Miss Jeanes' tied-up millions? We guess it wouldn't and no doubt MT. Wharton. the president of the trustees is right in his opinion that Swarthmore will not take the money. In case it doesn't. the legacy is to go to swell the endowment of a hospital in Philadelphia for the study of cancer and nervous diseases

 People have wondered why an island continent with nearly 100000 square miles of territory-nearly 2,000, 100000 acres,- could never muster more people than New York City. A mere coastal fringe of humanity at that, running inland here and there after gold In burning wilder ness, only made endurabe at all by ir- ported cames from India. The pastora- lists used to look longingly at vast tracts covered with rich lush grasses six feet high and clearly possessed of splendid stock fattening qualities.
 Alas such lands were a delusion and a snarel For a month or two later the fertility vanished as though it had been desert mirage. and the very kangaroos. wallabys, lizards and birds covered the country with their dead bodies for hun dreds of miles. The usual terrible drought had set in. which has ruined even the most skilful and resourceful stock farm CTS the world ever saw.

Wr. QDeeYtace Has Dream
 AbOnt Nobel Balloon Trip
BY JAMES B. KEELING.

Pipe on to a balloon dream if you want to get out of the realm of noth- ing doing blurted Singular Queerface as he stepped up to the corner. But get under shelter before you try il, for there aint no telling what will land on you if you don l. Sidle up there and let a fellow get lean on that past, won | you? well it was this way:
 They went and held this fair out there on the South Ensley line and every body talked so much about it that l had to go. So last Wednesday l packed my duds in my handbag and scattered the dust in that direction. When I reached the place l found that some fellow had gotten there ahead of me and had been nervy enough to slap up a high white fence all around the place. That kinder made me mad, so I pulled off couple of the palings and slipped one under each arm. then walked into the gorunds and started looking for the fellow who had stuck that fence up. soon finding myself on the race track.
 ''I looked down the track and saw a big balloon inside the field in the act of being Inflated with smoke It kept sway ing about but the ropes held 1t down. and as ] looked at it l began to com pare the restless moving of 1t to the spirit under these ribs of mine. It has always seemed to me as if l was caged in something out of which I longed to break and fly away. and the more looked at the balloon the more sympathy l felt for it.
 Well. that durn balloon just hypno- tized me I couldn't stay still any longer but picked up and started for that bal loon Before I could reach it. however it had been released and shot up into the air with the aeronaut dangling at the end of his parachute Higher and higher il scared. while I stood down on the ground directly under it with my head thrown back and my eyes fixed upon
