OREGON BOYS
ARE CONFIDENT
yebfooters Believe They will
Win Track Meet
MISSIONARIES NOT AFRAID
EVERYTHING IN READINESS FOR
BIG ATHLETIC EVENT AT
WHITMAN TOMORROW.

With the crack of the gun that staI Is
the first race in the big track meet fol
the northwest championship at Whit
man tomorrow afternoon. there viii
start one OF the closest and mos
fercely contested athletic events this
city has ever witnessed
Within Whitman's grasp is a north
west championship and she will try to
get it. Oregon. for years the best in
track anywhere around here and last
year the champion of the west, will not
throw her supremacy to the local school
without a struggle.
The Oregon boys arrived in the city
this morning and are about as likely
a looking bunch as ever came for an
athletic contest here They have
brought plenty of men and will do their
best to win. Speaking of the meet Cap
tain kuykendall this morning said:
L guess we are up against about as
hard a proposition as we ever struck
but W. will do things with the local
boys if we can. l think we can win, at
least we can make an awful good try
and if we lose it will not be because We
did not make a good honest effort
Whitman also believes she can win
and has the same idea that she will
make a good honest effort to pull down
the palm. Captain Philbrook asked of
his trains chances for victory, said:
"These Oregon fellows have a big
reputation but we are not scared OF
fight to win but that's what we are TO
do. Because we are representing a
small school will not hinder us from
making the best try at the champion
shin We can and if Oregon wins it will
be because she is better, that's all. We
are going to put up scrap, you can
depend upon that, and 1 believe We VIII
win"

This dope sheet is liberal, accord
ing to records of the men of the TWO
teams in comparison. Philbrook may
take the shot and no one would be sur
prised if Graham took the hammer. In
the high and broad jump the visitors
can be given second instead of thlrc
and still Whitman will win $3.50 But
it is not likely that the web footers can
beat the local boys in these events.
The crowd will probably be a record
breaker tomorrow, for this is the Dig
gest athletic event in any line that the
school has ever held here. From hrst 10
last il will be a contest of giants 1T
physical lines and there will be interest
and excitement in every race enough
n t,,r, the campus wild. If Whitman
wins there will be kttle rest for people
around the college tomorrow night.

A CATS AFFECTION.

e7TF HE other day I came across a
n story in a newspaper that had
been told by a gentleman who
lived in Southern New Jersey, which
shows that cats sometimes grieve them
selves to death. The incident is re-
lated here IN his W words:
One day the most miserable looking
cat came into my back yard hat 1 ever
saw. She was a living skeleton, with
sore eyes and NANCY hide.
Poor thing!" | thought; 'she must
be hair starved" nd l brought out a
saucer of rich milk and gave her.
She looked up at me with a sort of
wistfulness that I could not understand,
then tool two or three laps of the milk
and crept slowly away

said:
ooh. that cat lives at the cemetery
on the grave of her mistress, who has
been dead five months. Once in a
while she returns to her old home for
an hour or so, out no one can coax her
to stay No one can get her to take
more thar q mouthful of food. she is
grieving herself TO death. DO you see
how red her eyes are? l believe cats
weep, sometimes"
But how did she know where they
took her dead mistress?" inquired.

IF she did ne one saw her. but she
has been seen at the cemetery, on her
old mistress's grave. If anyone takes
her away she goes right back again.
There she goes across tie street now.
She is going toward the cemetery. 1t
is a good two miles or more"
But poor Puss lived to get there
that time. The next morning she was
found dead in the street. Whether she
had been run over, or died from pure
weakness, no one ever knew.
Now, no dog was ever known to show
more love for a master or mistress
than that, and yet they say the dog is
