Used Him as Eraser.

The late DR.. Henry Martyr Field
some years ago related at a Williams
alumni dinner rather amusing incl
dent OF his freshman days at college.
Being only u years old when he
entered he had not reached the point
where the natural friction between the
big boy and the small boy ceases and
he was at particular feud with one Of
his fellows, a stalwart country youth
fresh from the farm One day young
Field went early to the classroom and
put upon the big blackboard very
exasperating caricature of his en-
envy, with his name beneath When
the aggrieved party saw what had
been done he said not a word, but
catching up his youthful tormentor, he
used him as an eraser and after rub
bling out the offensive picture quietly
took his seat.

Henry Clay and Lew Wallace.

"Mr. Clay was of personality once
seen never to be forgotten. Tall,
slender, graceful, he had besides the
air majestic which kings affect, i'm
agining it exclusive property.
Throughout Mr.. Clays performance
my eyes scarcely left his countenance,
which. as he proceeded, sank from
sight until, by the familiar optical
Illusions, nothing of 1t remained but
the mouth, and that kept charging
and widening until it seemed an elias
tic link holding the ears together.
Indeed. at this late writing, my one
distinct recollection of the man and
his speech is the mouth and its capac-
ity for infinite xstension. "-Autobiog'

ONE DAY BEHIND SCHEDULE.
Boston Business Man Wanted to Take
Time to Catch Up.

Several years ago, when the Univer.
sity Of Chicago held its decennial
celebration, John D. Rockefeller was
Its guest for several days. A bewild,
ering succession OF functions followed
one another in such quick succession
that each affair was from one to four
hours late.
At the great banquet on the closing
day, Mr.. Rockefeller, in his after
dinner speech, told the following
story:
Il have felt for tho past "a hours
like the Boston business man who
lived in Che suburbs and came in to
his office every day One winter after
noon he took the train for his home,
but terrific snowstorm was raging,
and about half way to his sdburb the
train was showed in. All 1ight the
passengers were imprisoned, but early
In the morning they managed to reach
a nearby telegraph station, and the
Boston man sent the following dis
patch to his Office:
"'Will not be in the office to-day.

MIX THIS AT HOME.
Valuable Prescription Which Anyone
Can Easily Prepare.

The following simple homemade
mixture is said to readily relieve and
overcome any form of Rheumatism by
forcing the Kidneys to filter from the
blood and system all the uric acid ana
poisonous waste matter, relieving at
once such symptoms as backache,
weak kidneys and bladder and blood
diseases.
Try it, as 1t doesn't cost much to
make and is said to be absolutely
harmless to the stomach.
Get the following harmless ingredi-
ents from any good pharmacy: Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syrup of Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking well in bot
tie, and take teaspoonful after each
meal and again at bedtime.
This simple mixture is said to give
prompt relief, and there are very few
cases of rheumatism and Kidney
troubles it will fail to cure perma-
nently.
These are all harmless, everyday
drugs, and your druggist should keep
them in the prescription department;
If not, have him order them from the
wholesale drug houses for you, rather
than fail to use this, if you are af-

quarter in 81. His victories have
been as numerous as notable Among
these are the senior championship of
the Amateur Athletic Union at the
Lewis and Clark exposition and the
1,5O0-meter run at the Olympian
games in Athens in 1906. In the
1,S00-meter run at the Athens tourna-
ment he was second by ten inches,
and he won several smaller events
there. Lightbody was almost barred
from participating in the Athenian
games because of being conditioned
in his studies at Chicago university,
but by hard work he managed to make
up his deficiency and had the condi-
tons removed. This has taught him,
however, that it is nearly impossible
to be a good student and a good ath-
lete at the same time, he says, and as
he does not expect to make athletics
his life occupation, he believes it his
duty to devote more time to his men

Sensitiveness is one of the charac-
.eristics of baseball playing, many
members of the profession being
touchy in spots and some all over
They dislike to have their work criti-
cized in a derogatory way, as it units
them for duty and keeps them in a
disturbed state of mind. They keenly
feel the stings of sarcasm or the
gibes of disappointed fans. In other
words, adverse criticism breaks them
Ill up. While the majority of present
day managers advise their players to
keep plugging away and ignore criti-
cism, many are unable to follow that
sensible advice. They cannot stand
the gaff of adverse comment. Base
ball history tells of number of good
players who chose to retire from the
profession rather than be subjected
to remarks which ranked within their
bosoms and upset their equilibrium.
Posing as they do in the continual
limelight as public celebrities, ball
players should possess natures i'm
pervious to attack, but all are not
built alike. When the bleacherites
get after a player the music begins,
and is continuous unless the offender
turns the tide by making a good play
and is forgiven. Baseball fans are a
tickle class-always have been and al.
ways will be. They are very apt to
hand a ball player bouquet one day
and lemon the next. Few fans are
lenient in judgment, but once a player
makes good with them he possesses
an army of friends who hold him up
as an idol until the passing years
bring stiffness to his joints and he
drops out of sight into a lesser league.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Sept. 1.-THE Mil
waukee Journal today prints a story re-
garding which 1t claims to have reliable
information that Charles Alis, chairman
of the executive, and Edward ID. Adams
Of New York, chairman of the finance
committee OF the Allls-Chalmers company,
will retire from their respective positions;
that w b. Kelly. president OF the Ameri-
can Steel Foundry company, will become
chairman Of the executive committee, and
that Judge E. ii. Gary, chairman OF the
board of directors of the United States
Steel corporation, will head the board of
directors of the Allls- Chalmers company
and likewise the finance committee. 1t is
explained that the Allis-Chalmers company
has for some time been hampered by lack
of sufficient capital to carry on its pres
ent enormous business. and the fact that
Kelly and Gary are to be more actively
and prominently identified with Allis-
Chalmers means that the United States
Steel corporation will In some measure
add financial support TO Allis-ChamIers.
