there was an unusual attendance Of

there was spread a bountiful feast OF
chickens done in every conceivable

not thrown away the trophies of her
capture, damaging as they were as
evidence against her, but she had
spread them tastefully over the side
board, upon the selves OF which stood
bottles Of various sizes containing the
delectable and now renowned "bracer."
After the chicken banquet was over

triumph pointed TO those feathered

made herself useful in SO many ways
that she became recognized as a neces-

husband died, and the colonel Of the
company asked the young widow what
she would do. now that her husband
was gone She stoutIy declared that
nothing would part her from her be
loved company If they would allow her

that in q few days she was Informed

HADLEY FOR CLEAN SPORT.
YaIe'a President DeHnes What He
Terms ProfessionaIism.

New Haven Conn. May president
Hadley. Of Yale, to-day expressed his
opinion on college athletics and the dan
ger of a certain class of professional
ism, as follows:
The value of athletic sports when
practioed in the right spirit is only
equaied by the perniciousness when
praetieed In the wrong spirit. They
deserve enthusiastic support,
THE time and thought spent on them
are justified by their educational infiu-
ence. But as part Of this support, we
must have unspaFing condemnation OF
professionalism
y refer 10 something far more wide
spread than the obvious professional
ism. It Is the system of regarding
athletic achievements as a sort Of ad-
vertisement of ones prowess and In
valuing success for its own sake,
rather than for the sake of the hon )F
which comes in achieving IT by honor
able methods. This is the professional
ism of the most subtle~and dangerous
sort
I am glad 20 believe that our col
leges and people are becoming better
able 10 understand the love Of sport
for its own sake. The growth of this
spirit through three generations mas
relieved English universities Of some
Of fhe problems which confronted us
here. TO the growth Of this spirit we
must. ourselves. trust for their solution
