Love ls Cruel, Indeed,

Love comes unbidden and fees from
those who pray at his shrine. He
comes like all.conquering kings-free.
hearted, generous, great; he goes like
a thief in the night. carrying away all
that has made life worth the living.
He stabs us with the weapons we have
given him, he drinks our tears and
laughs at the tortures he infiicts, for
love is cruel. And vet we
are ever ready again and again to bare
our hearts to the blows. Men feel
love with more intensity than women,
and they forget more swiftly.-From
Madame.

MoRoccANs USE LOVE CHARMS.
Queer Means Employed by Women to
Gain Affection.

Mrs. Mansel-Pleydell writes of the
curious charms used by the women of
Morocco: Moorish women resort
much to charms. to gain lovers or to
keep their affections when gained.
There Is one charm which is seldom
known to fail. 1t consists of shred
ding small piece of an undergarment
which the man has worn and, after
certain lamentations have been said
over 1t, OF rolling the particles into
the shape Of a small ball. This is EN-.
bedded In larger ball of clay and, aft.
or being slightly dampened, 1t Is kept
In pot over the embers of live char
coal. / have been assured that as
soon as the heat penetrates the clay
the man, whoever he may be, will lay
aside whatever work he is doing at
the time and fly to the arms of the
woman who invokes the charms. As
long as the ball is kept warm so long
Will the heat of love burn in the
heart OF the lover for that woman.
Another spell much resorted to is cast
by cutting OF the tips OF a donkey's
ears, cooking them and mixing them
In the mans food. He then becomes
as foolish as a donkey with love for
the charmer who has provided his
unsavory repast."

SMASH RECORDS
AT INDOOR MEET

The A. A. L. championships
opened last night at Madison
Square Gardens, New York. Pat
rick Mcdonald of the Irish-Ameri-
can A. A. threw the Sc pound
weight 16 feet as inches, 5ss
inches better than M. J. McGrath' s

9:2S 2-5, indoor record.
The star of the meet was Martin
j. Sheridan, who won individual
honors with 16 points. He is out
of the rest of the contests, how
ever, on account of sustaining a
fall while vaulting, which tore a
ligament in his shoulder.

with the Giants the early part of

In a game the New York team
was playing at Philadelphia, in
which the score was close, Nc

whistled past Evans face. Lou
stepped back and as Doom caught
the ball he remarked:
Il told you to be careful or he
will get you"
The next ball pitched was closer
to the youngsters head than the
first one, and Evans, who was wise
to Dooin's game, thought it was
time to take a hand in the pro-
ceedings. Leaning over to Doom
he said:
Tell that guy out there that if
he ever expects to drive me away
from the plate he had better pack
that slow one in his grip"
Before Doom could recover from
his surprise at the remark he
heard Evans say: IF he hands
,, me up another one like that l will
knock the button off his cap with
line drive. Tell him to duck. l
don't want to kill him."
Then to make it good Evans
drove a vicious liner through the
box, scoring the man from second.
He was not kidded again.

Heinie was inclined to be a little

GREAT RUNNER Is THIS Y0LNGSTER

Special Correspondence to The Press
NEW YORK, Dec. knowing
ones who have watched John
Eisele of the New York Athletic
club for the past couple of years
and who saw him gallop off with
the 10 mile national championship
at Celtic park, can feel that salts
faction which comes from an appre.
citation of keenness, verified.
With 81 of the best distance rum
ners in this country, including sew
eral Marathon winners, Eisele COM
peted for the 10 mile title. Some of
the runners started out at terrific
pace. hoping to kill off their rivals
in the early stages.
Eisele used splendid Judgment
and ran his own race from gun to
tape. He permitted the field to lead
him for several miles and the lead
ers showed the way to the last
mile. Then he proved his mettle.
Gradually increasing his stride
and swining wide at the turn into
the stretch on the last mile he
closed in rapidly. The pacemakers
tried to hold him and for a time
were successful, but the young
champion-to-b had a lot of reserve
and uncovering a great burst of
speed he distanced all but his club
mate, Bailey, and breasted the tape
winner in the remarkable time of
SO minutes 16 Is seconds, an aver
age of little over five minutes to
the mile.
Eisele is a native of Newark, N.
J., and will be 25 in January. He
is six feet in height and slender,
weighing 135. Until he entered
Princeton in 1903 he had little ath-
letic knowledge. At college he dis
covered that he could hold most of
his fellows and tried for the track
team. He made good, but illness
compelled him to abandon running,
and not until two years later was
he permitted to appear on the track
again.
In 1907 he took the mile and two
mile events in the Princeton-Yale
and the Princeton Columbia games.
In the intercollegiate two-mile he
ran second to Rowe of Michigan,

when the winner lowered the mark
from $40 to 9:34.
Last spring Eisele won a place
on the Olympian team, and tried
for the steeplechase, springin& a
surprise that hit the English like a
thunderbolt. Not only did he vim
his trial, but he put out of the r1n-
ming England's two reliance men.
He was picked to win the final, but
was injured and was operated upon
before he could start.
Despite the fact that he suffered
agony all through the race, he
pushed the winner to a desperate
finish. At present the youngster, is
probably the best distance runner
in America, if not in the world.
