shoulders, revealing a bloody handber-
chief clumsily knotted about the head
and beneath 1t the face Of Joe LOuden
Joe opened the door and went In. All
Of the merry company (who were able)
turned sharply toward the door as IT
opened. One or two nearest the door
asked the boy, without great curiosity,
what had happened to his head. He
merely shook it family in reply and
crossed the room to an open hallway
beyond. At the end of this he came to
a frowzy bedroom, the door of which
stood ajar. Seated at a deal table and
working by a dim lamp with broken
chimney, a close cropped, red bearded,
red haired man IN his shirt sleeves was
jabbing gloomily at a column of figures
scrawled In a dirty ledger. He looked
up as Joe appeared in the doorway, and
his eyes showed a slight surprise.
Il never thought ye had the temper
to git somebody to split yer head" said
he. 'eWhere'd We collect it,"
He unwound the handkerchief and
removed it from Joes head gently.
"Whee" he cried as a long cash was
left a mark somewhere to pay little
on the score o. thisr'
Joe chuckled and dropped dizzily
back upon the pillow. There was an
other who got something like IT, he
gasped feebly, land, oh, Mike, wish
you could have heard him going on!
Perhaps you did. It was only three
miles from here"
Nothing I'd liked BETTER" said the
other, bringing q basin Of clear water
from stand in the corner. ITS a
beautiful thing to hear a man boiler
when he gifts a grand one like ye're
wearing tonight"
He bathed the wound gently and,
hurrying from the room, returned i'm
Wetting a rag with this tender fluid, he
applied 1t to Joe's head, speaking sooth-
ingly the while.
Nothing In the world like a bit o.
good cider vinegar to keep off the fes-
term. 1t may seem a trife scratchy
fer the moment but it assassinates the
blood p'ison. There ye go! IT'S the fine
thing fer We, Joe. What are ye squirm-
in about7'
I'm only enjoying it." the boy an
swered, writhing as the vinegar work
ed into the cash. Don't you mind my
laughing to myself"
"Ye're q good one, Joer said the
other, continuing his ministrations. Il
wlsht, after all, ye felt like maxim me
known to what's the trouble There's
some Of US would be glad to take it up
fer ye, and
"No. no; it's all right. 1 was some
where I had no business to be, and
got caught"
'Who caught YEP"
First some nice white people"-Joe
smiled his distorted smile-"and then a
low down black man helped me to get
away as soon as he saw who it was.
He's a friend of mine, and he fell down
and tripped up the pursuit"
Il always knew ye'd git into large
trouble some day" The red bearded
man tore a strip from an old towel and
began to bandage the boys head with
an accustomed hand. Eyer taste fer
excitement has been CROWN on We ev-
cry minute Of the four years I've
known ye"

We're going to your Uncle Jonas"
"Why?" she cried In supreme aston
ishment. What do you want to take
me there for? Don't you know that
he's stopped speaking to me?"
Yes" said the old man grimly, with
something Of the look he wore when
delivering a cllncher at the National
House; hes stopped speaking to ev-
erybody."

the Samaritan as a hideous burst of
noise came from the dance room, where

DAN MURPHY TO COACH
R0WERS OF STANFORD
Veteran Trainer to Resume Charge.
Refuses FIattering Offers to
Go to Palo Alto
Institution

Dan Murphy, for two seasons coach
of the Stanford rowing crew, will be
engaged for the coming season. Stan
ford has been handicapped in rowing
because of lack of any place to prac-
tice. The bay is several miles distant
from the university and Stanford lake,
'Lagunita," is dry greater portion of
the year. Notwiths landing these diff
ficulties Stanford has put out a good
crew during the last three years.
Coach Murphy has had charge of the
rowing at the university for two years.
At meeting of the student body ex-
ecutive committee Manager Guy Knupp
was authorized to contract for Murphy
during the months from December to
May inclusive. His salary will be s135
per month. 1t is understood that Muir
ply, who is now In the east, has refused
several fiattering offers in order to
again coach the cardinal Grew.
The University of California is pre-
pairing to put out an unusually strong
crew this year. Since Stanford came
into the contest the sport has been
greatly stimulated at the state uni
versity.
The new rowing tank at the Univer-
sity or California is now ready for use
and the men who have signed UP for
fall training are now working in 1T.
The tank is circular and about sixty
feet in diameter, with two pontoons re-
sembling rowing shells tied in the mid
die opposite each other.

gum chewing was prohibited in the pub
lie schools, but could see no harm in the
hair ribbon.
A canvass of the city's private schools
revealed the following data:
At the Academy of Fine Arts the girls
are allowed to do anything that is nearly
but not quite bohemian. THE bigger the
hair ribbon the more recherche is one
of Its notices.
At the Beritz School of Languages
gum chewing Is forbidden during recita-
tions, because 1t interferes with lie
proper pronunciation of "embonpoint'
and other French words full of nasals.
At the Chicago School of Practical
Bricklaying, 2115 West Adams street, gum
use were suggested to the students 1t
In order to escape lynching.
At Jones National School of Auction
eering and Oratory, 241 Ashland boule-
ward, the temperate use of gum is ad-
vised because 1t soothes the throat. The
young auctioneers and orators may use
the hair ribbons as neckties when in full
regalia, but this is matter of personal
choice
AT Mrs Stella Dyer Loring's finishing
school, where the debutantes learn how
to bud. the young ladies are born with a
natural antipathy to gum and hair rib
bons, SO there is no need to enforce the
rule.
And at the Zymotechnic institute, 1424
Montana street, where the gentle art of
making beer is studied, the rule would
not apply.

WHITTIER AND U. S. C. TO
MEET TO-DAY ON BOVARD
injuries Received in Saturdays Game
with High Cause Several
Changes in Lineup of
Methodist Team

The Whittier state school authorities
have given the football team furlough
long enough for the reform lads to play
the U. S. C. squad a practice game this
afternoon at Bovard field. The contest
will begin promptly at 3 o'clock, two
twenty minute periods being
scheduled at the request of the visitors.
The Whittier team is in splendid shape
to give the varsity hard tussle, and
considering the fact that the Methodists
school game Whittier will have every
canoe to annex a few points to their
credit
Holmes will have his pupils play
straight football, using two plays adj
ditional to those tried Saturday. Bo-
ward field was trif1e too sloppy for
the squad to practice on yesterday
afternoon, so the team utilized the
gymnasium arena, where the men were
put through fast course of signal
practice The play of the varsity in
the recent contest bore evidence of
room for Improvement. The Methodists
should put up much better exhibition
this afternoon.
Runyon received wrenched shoulder
Saturday and will be out of todays
game. Clark at end will probably give
way to Wallace, a novice but a conner
as shown by his playing against high
school.
Shute, the speedy half, will be seen
in action in his first game this year
outside of the interclass contests, when
he was laid up for repairs and will try
his skill at quarter Amy who
directed the plays against high, will
be shifted to left half and will alternate
with Bridewell at that position. Bun
ker is recovered sufficiently from sick
ness to re-enter the game and will oc-
cupy the snapper back berth.
Grail leaves the center position for
the right guard vacancy left by Run
yon, the remainder of the lineup being
as arranged in the high game.
Holmes intends to try out a number
of his second teamers today, and will
turn his second squad loose in the sec
one half. The lineup at the opening OF
play will be as follows: Carpenter, right
end; Hagler, right tackle; Grail, right
guard; Bunker, center; Stookey left
guard; Woolin, left tackle Wallace
left end; Shute, quarter; Skinner, right
half; Almy. left half; Burek, fullback.

ST. VINCENT MEN
IN SECRET PLAY
HEMPEL'S TEAM LINES UP IN
PRACTICE GAME
No Score Is Recorded, as Object
Was to Determine Weak
Points of the Two
E!evens

High school and st. Vincent came to-
gether yesterday afternoon in a secret
practice game. The object of the game
was to experiment and practice their
trick plays. 1t was not regular con-
test, as each side changed from offense
to defense whenever the coaches saw fit
st. Vincent seemed to be in fine form
and the men are working hard for their
game with the Denver boys Saturday
With couple of days hard work and
one of rest they should make fine
showing.
The high school boys are rounding into
form rapidly. They are working hard
for their game Saturday with the 40
mona boys, which is TO be played on
the Claremont grounds
Coach Sorensen said that it is impos-
sible to tell anything about the game
with Pomona, as the college games are
puzzles that can only be solved when
they are played He said although the
places on the team had not been de-
cided as yet the games with the col
leges helped in a way to bring out the
good and bad points of the boys working
for places. He seemed to have plenty
of confidence in the boys, and thinks
they will make a good showing this year.

Water
BY Associated Precs.

ny Associated freCS.
STAMBOUL, La, Oct. 15.-No news of
the presidents hunt yesterday has been
received here. Messengers from the Bear
lake camp tell marvellous stories of the
presidents hardihood and capacity for
roughing it. When he carried his blan-
kets with him from the upper camp last
Friday and that night and next morning
had only cold bread and meat he had
taken in his saddle pockets they mar
veled that a president could be so easily
satisfied, but when he jumped into Bear
lake for swim on arising at daybreak
their astonishment was almost without
belief. The thermometer registered less
than 40 degrees, and most of the others
present were hugging the campfire,
The president plunged into the water
as soon as he arose. AS he approached
the edge of the lake he bantered some
of the other members of the party to
join him, but none did so. He swan a
distance of 100 yards to an island and
then returned, declaring upon landing
that the exercise had been most exhil-
arating and that the water was warmer
than the air.

RAIN sPoILs CONTEST
SCHEDULED WITH OAKS

Rain butted in on the sporting world
yesterday and spoiled two events which
would otherwise have been most en-
joyable. Mr.. ]. Pluvius stuck his face
around the happy hunting grounds and
queered the quail shooting and the ball
game at the Chutes was stopped for the
same reason.
The Oakland team was on hand to
meet the Angels, all right but the
grounds were too sloppy to play ball on.
About two hundred real fans braved the
showers and ambled out to the park,
but there was nothing doing, and they
dispersed in about fifteen minutes.
If the weather permits the teams Will
line up this afternoon, and there Will
be something doing. The Commuters
are all in the game to make dying
squirt at the last of the season, and the
league leaders will have to fight some
to stall them off this week.
