tame fer the crowd, which began to cry
fake"
Referee Burke hardened to the cry and
at the end Of the fourth round said the
two men were not doing their best and
declared the bout off. Both Dougherty
ana FCltZ wee indignant and said it was
the first time in their career as fighters

STORY is RIDICUlED.
Harvard and Yale Will Not Enlist Ath
letes to Meet Britishers.

New Haven, May 14.-The story that
Harvard and Yale We're enlisting ath-
letes as Freshmen for the Oxford-C Cam
bridge meet was ridiculed at Yale by
the athletic authorities. The rumor un-
doubtedly arose from the discussion at
Yale ana Harvard as to the feasibility
Of permitting Freshmen at the two uni
versities who are barred from inter-
collegiate contests in America, to take
part i'll the meet with the Englishmen,
inasmuch as they are bona fide men,
bers of other classes.
1t has been decided. however, by Yale
and Harvard, that Freshmen will not
be permitted TO compete in the contest
with the Erglishmen. so that any fear
Of such action by the Englishmen would
be grOundless.

PREFACE

. TT seems to me-" said philosopher
once, that there are no entirely good
men in the world and none completely
bad. Single out your best man and
you will find that he lacks perfection
in some parts OF him, and examine
your worst and you will find that he
has at least one redeeming quality"
In this book the men mostly verge
toward bad, but some are better than
others. Because they are merely human
-hey act according to their lights. You
may meet others like them any day IL
you go ont and about, and most of them
give extremely good dinners. Till they
are found out you consider them
amusing. Afterwards, being better
than they. you naturally set them
down az most pernicious scoundrels
and shake hands with yourself and
write to your tailor and order more
noticeable phylacteries on the next new
suit This is called Keeping up a
healthy moral tone" and does a great
teal of good in the world.
