Georgetown held its first closed GYM

evening in the Ryan gymnasium on the
college campus. and the affair was sue

The men in the wrestling bouts dis
played rare form considering that they
have had little experience in the art, and
Il is the conviction of Prof. Joyce, the
physical instructor at the school that
Georgetown can make a creditable show
ing against the larger colleges with which
It IS proposed TO arrange dual contests
The winners OF the bouts will resume
training after they return from their
Christmas vacation. and # is probable
that the challenges Of both Princeton and
Annapolis will be accepted.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Our big sorrows cure our little
ones.
Logic is poor substitute for
love.
A little happiness goes a long
ways.
Difficulties are the greatest helps
we have
Ideals are the only things that
make heroes.
The cup of blessing cannot be the
cup of cursing.
There is no wealth of life where
love has no wastes.
He who counts his Joy by the
things he gets will be sure to be mis-
cradle.
Learning does little for one with
out love.
There is no blessing in the gift
based on barter
Nothing spoils quicker than hoard
ed happiness.
Prejudice is often mistaken for
call to the bench.
The man who gets hot quickly
makes steam slowly.
1t takes more than honeyed lips to
sweeten sad lives.
BY square deal some men mean
a four-sided bayonet.
Not by their signs, but by their
service, shall we know them.
He cannot serve the king who
seeks only his own crown
Patience helps us to see our great
est privilege I'm our pain
No days are darker than those in
which we look within alone Rams

What Horse Flesh Means

A question that Is now being pub
licly discussed as to the removal OF
the Paris horse market has incident
ally let in strong light upon what
horse flesh" means for its unfortu.
nate consumers. At present the mar
ket is in the Boulevard Marcel.
whence IT has to be removed owing
to the sale of the site for hospital
purposes. The market having to be
removed. a strong movement IS on
foot to have 1t removed to Vanguard,
where the horse meat market Is. Tho
ground upon which this transfer is
advocated is significant. There are.
of course. several reasons. but the
chief argument is that Of convenience
and humanity. Most of the horses

MAN PAYS BOARD TO EARTH.
Simply by Leaving Body to Become
Part of General Inheritance.

Science accounts for the coal
banked up in the geologic strata by
long ages OF downpours of steaming
mist and warm rain upon the prehis-
toric earth. feeding fat its fantastic
forests. Undoubtedly something OF
the same process is going on to-day
as It has gone on every year till now
where man has let the rooted life of
the planet live its lives out.
wherever a rocky, broken noun
tain top or big. long gravelly hill has
been worn away at one end or ono
side by frost and wind. rain and sun
shine, snowslides and spring freshets
and even I'm vacant lots of artificial
lands, We witness first the appear
ance OF weeds, then of flowers and
grass and finally of trees upon the
inhospitable ground.
In the course of time, after the
rocks and gravels and silt, the weeds
and trees and the fall of the leaf will
have laid down the accumulated soil
a few inches, as the case may be. or
a few feet in depth.
Meanwhile men and their fellow
animals and insects have been
evolved and still go on living among
the weeds and the trees and off OF
them, and each one when he dies
contributes. with the plants, his lit
tie. inconsequent weight of ashes to
the soil.
Apparently that Is what VIC are
here for" and there IS no evading IL.
But the ordinary man. whether he is
laid in the earth or put into the ere
matory retort, simply pays his board
to the planet like the tree in his
quantum of ash. It is evident that

Nor does it represent all that his

tesimal part of his whole existence

When the voice of friendship foltered
Tick! tiek!' it said-"quick. quick TO bed
For 10 I've given warning:
W: up! and 60, or else you know
You IL never rise soon in the morning."
A friendly voice was that old old clocl,
As IT stood in the corner smiling
And 1t blessed the time with a merry

But cross old voice was that tiresome
clock.

When the dawn looked gray DER the misty
way,
And the early air blew coldlv

For I've given warning;
You'll never have health, You'll never have
Unless you're up soon in the morning."
Still hourly the sound goes round and
round,
With tone that never ceases.
Nhlle tears are shed for bright DAYS fled.

It's heart beats on-though hearts are gone.

Its hands still mo"e-though hands We love
