College Fun in "stroneheart." j"

''Strongheart." the play of Columbia Varsity life, in which Henry B. Harris will present Robert Edeson on Thursday night at the Jefferson theatre is a four act comedy drama by William c. De Mile, former Columbia boy. While the dramatic interest is serious as it con cerns the problem of the educated In- dian and his love for woman not of his race, there is abundant comedy to re- lieve the emotional tension. Much amusement has been derived by the pie turing of episodes in college life. The first act is laid in the rooms of two class mates.

In a measure. the recently adopted resolution curtailing the right of farm ing" will result simply in the transfer ence of that right from club to club. Farming therefore will be continued.
 If Birmingham wishes to farm out Bil- Hard, says, the notice to that effect is given President Kavanaugh. Any other Southern club by paying $4OO. can get Billiard. Then suppose that with Atlanta, Billiard does not make good, though shows promise. Again Is Kavanaugh noti- fled, and again is Billiard bought, this time by Nashville. His work in Nash vile having the same character as that with Birmingham and Atlanta, Billiard is again put on the market. This time, probably, there are no buyers, and Nash vile farms" him.
 The new ruling has these good charac- teristics-it gives the weaker clubs an opportunity to acquire players which the stronger think unavailable; 1t gives the young player an opportunity to shine in fast company without serving his ap- premiership in slower. It's bad charac- teristics are these-it prevents club from building today for tomorrow's needs; it will make smaller leagues. for instance, the Cotton States and the South Atlantic, weaker to a certain extent.
 While the world at large is looking for ward to and discussing with absorbing in- terest the probable match between Frank Gotch and George Hackenschmidt, which mat game is scheduled to take place in St. Louis in April, Birmingham lovers of the sport are thinking of the event sched- uled here tomorrow night at the Hippo drome.
 Yesterday both the wrestlers arrived, Jess Westergaard announcing present" at the rising of the matin sun, and James Parr blowing in late yesterday afternoon. Both men are in fine fettle, and that the event will be corker goes without ques- tion. The wrestle will be in catch-as- catch-can style, the strangle hold barred. Both men have placed up forfeit money, and substantial side bet. The winner, in case he is Parr,, will later be matched against the veteran Farmer" Burns. It is remembered that Westergaard gave the Farmer the hardest fought match that he has had in Birmingham. Parr ranks with the best and wears belt which came only after he had conquered twelve wrestlers in hold h hEngland.

A Good Democratic Daily.

n coca DemOCTdIfC Ndhy'
To the people of this commun-
| ity we heartily recommend The
Kansas City Daily Post as a
newspaper. 1t has the strongest
and best Geographic service of
all the papers in Kansas City
the Hearst service. The Associ-
ated Press reports have always
been prejudicial to the Demo
cratic party and readers Of Demo-
cratic papers have not been able
to get at the true inwardness OF
things, because the Associated
Press is dominated by Repub-
| licans, who in turn are dominated
by the trusts. The Hearst SER
vice is free, fair and independent.
In market reports The Post is
unsurpassed by any paper IN the
West. Every detail is thorough
and complete. 1t is organizing
strong corps of country cores
pondents who are gathering news
for it and sending the same in as
specials. 1t is reliably Demo
cratic, vigorous, conservative and
straightforward. The subscrip-
ton price of The Post is $3.50 a
year BY mail. Therefore, all who
want a Democratic daily that has

A second blast from the unseen horn

head.
In another moment two objects
went through the street In o cloud
Of dust, which as II lifted for brief

plunging, while Ezra Grubbs was be-
ing dragged toward the barrow farm
like Roman captive at the end OF

Now for q moment the old man
would be on his feet, and now again
on the ground. but he never relin-
pushed his hold on the rope, and the
plunging calf could not escape. Those
who listened heard q repetition OF
words that carried them back to the
day when Ezra tried to check the

compelled this course.
Now, unless you behave, I'll whip
you again at the next station and at
every station until you do behave"

ACCOUNTING FOR THE FLY.
Explanation That Probably Did Not
Satisfy Traveller.

Before sailing for Egypt for the
winter James Hazen Hyde said at a
farewell dinner in New York:
THE only drawback to a tropical
winter is the flies. In the hot sun of
January day in Egypt, Morocco or
Algeria the flies are an incredible
pest. You see them in the corners
of the eyes of native children and
men lie asleep in sunny places with
dies crawling over their lips.
The natives don't mind the flies. In
fact, they like them. At a boorj or
aative inn in the Sahara traveller
said to the waiter. pointing indignant
ly at his SOW of barley and goats
flesh:
"'How comes this dead fly in my
couscous?'
Monsieur, replied the waiter, I
can not tell you. Perhaps the fly had
not eaten for many days and throwing
himself ravenously on the cous-cous
fed with too great heartiness, thereby
contracting an inflammation of the
stomach severe enough to cause
death. The poor little thing can never
have been strong. When l brought
the CONSCIOUS it was dancing and hum
ming merrily on the surface. Perhaps
this idea has just presented itself
to met endeavored to swallow too
large piece of meat. The morsel
stuck in its windpipe. A terrific
coughing fit, inaudible to our gross
ears, ensued. Alas, soon all was over

for the poor creatures DEATH"
