MANLY COMMENTS.

CHICAGO, April 7.-"It is wrong
to bring a boy under an influence that
is solely feminine, There are not
enough men teachers in the higher
grades of our schools. All of the
principals at least should be men and
they ought to lead the boys in their
games on the school Fairgrounds"
This was the statement Dr. Winfield
S. Hall, dean Of students in North
western University Medical School
before the Young Mems Christian
Association yesterday.
"Both men and women must be-
come broader minded, Fathers and
mothers should make the children
their playmates and vice and crime
would soon die out That talk about
it being necessary for young man
to sow his wild oats is all wrong
The harvest Of that Is the same in
character as the kind Of oats he sows.

classed among the clipper packets OF
the Willamette and Columbia rivers
a decade ago. sprang a leak, rapidly
filled with water and sank to the
bottom at an early hour Saturday

the machinery lying on the bow. The

sisted In carrying her down. The AS
torian is owned by Jacob Kamm,
who bought her from the old White
Collar line just before she was taken
out OF active service. Prior to that
she was plying between Portland
and Astoria, in opposition to the O..
r. & NJ boats. She has engaged in
many rate war, making it SO inter
esting for her competitors that she
soon became one Of the widest known
fresh water craft on the Pacific Coast.
The steamer was fairly speedy in her
palmy days and won large number
OF races, when that pastime was a
common event on the lower Colum-
biaI She was built at Portland in
1890.

WASHINGTON, April 7.--As al
aftermath Of the passage yes
terday oi the army appropria
ton bill, Hale, the chairman OF this
committee on naval affairs toda,
sounded a warning against the in
creases in the military establishment
OF the country, saying It was inviting
deficit ia the treasury and would
serve no useful purpose, Hale moved
the reconsideration OF the vote bS
which the army bill was passed and
his motion was laid on the table
Burkett characterized the proceed
ings as one OF bad faith. The Senate
passed the iortidcations bill, carrying
an aggregate of $l2l06,i1. AS
mark Of respect to the memory OF the
late Representative Brick, the Sen
ate at 4;34 adjourned,
Hale called attention TO the grow
ing amounts asked for each year in
support OF military purposes and said
that the naval increase was in proper
ton. He said that when the navy Is
built up II is only the beginning OF
spending money, The country, he
said, is committed to repairs and
maintenance which would result in
three or four years to aggregate a
bill for naval appropriations carrying
Kan appreciate Of $ls0000,0Oo annually.
NGallinger called attention to an ar
ticie printed in the Washington news
paper relative to the ambitious pro-
gram for the army and navy, He said
il appeared to him that the article
was inspired
Warren answered that he did not
believe the article was inspired. War
rem said this was the first time he
had heard that the Secretary Of War
had such ideas OF increasing the
army.
Hale said he hoped the Enormous,
unreasonable and wicked program is
not the judgment of the Secretary OF
War"
Hale said in recent talk with the
heads Of the army revealed the
opinion in that quarter that the appro-
priation had got to be doubled. If
it is, he said it will result in our
having an army which cost $2OO,OOO,-
900 annually He expressed the hope
that the program for such an en-
largement would not be carried out.
Hale referred to the Philippines as
the pestilence which had contributed
ITO the policy of military expansion.
Replying to Beveridge Hale said the
excuse given for the enlargement was
we might have "Big War"
Beveridge said the present army of
$4,000 men would be useless against
any single army corps. Hale wanted
to know where this imaginary army
. cerps is to come from. Hale said
II conflict with another country was
practically impossible and predicted
that Beveridge would never see any
war and characterized the war talk
as "Sheer nonsense"

square. clean shaved jaw, however, in
dictated that, If his disposition was gen
ial, he was not lacking in determination
and energy. And this his career had
demonstrated.
Born in Richmond of very poor par
ents. immigrants from Ireland, who
had died when he was young, he had
been compelled to shift for himself at
an age when most boys are Just get
ting used to school. His very first job
was in a livery stable, and there his
interest in horses began. So great did
this interest become that he made his
way to Kentucky to procure employ
ment at a racing stable, and what he
learned in the Blue Grass State about
"man's second best friend" coupled
with innate and early developed shrewd-
ness and Business acumen, vent far to
make up for the deficiency of his know
ledge of the three RS. With these nat
ural qualities he possessed much indie
pendence of spirit and hat aspiration
to be his own master which charac-
terizes the Irish race and brings it to
the fore the world over.
His ambition was to be a rae horse
owner and trainer himself, and he set
about his preparations to become n
by saving his money. Early in the
game he learned by hard but salutary
experience that the acquisition of the
needed capital was not to be had by
the ge~t-rich-quick allurements of the
betting ring. This conviction, ac-
CURED at his own expense, was con-
firmed by his observation of the ups
and downs of his associates, n he
resolutely eliminated the element of
hazard from his plan of campaign.
With equal resolution and cold delib
Grafton he decided to steer clear of all
possibility of matrimonial entangle-
ment on the time worn principle that
he who takes unto himself a wife there
by pays heavy hostage to fortune and
often handicaps himself in the race for
that goal of success which is inter
preted in dollars and cents by the great
majority of mortals.
But chance, luck or fate, as some will
have it, is a factor that enters into the
accomplishment of the life cycle of man
and, quite independently of his desires
in the matter, disposes where he pro-
poses. Thus one fine day there came
as helper at the training stable Pat
rick O'Brien, with his wife and a 10
year-old daughter, Nora. Another
daughter, Patricia, six years older, was
in New York, ~apprenticed to Nine.
Elise, a fashionable modiste in Fifth
avenue Nine. Elise in reality was
plain Lizzie Casey, and Mrs. O'Brien
had known her years before in Brook
Ign when Lizzie was learning the bust
ness with no thought of giving a
French twist to her Christian name.
Patricia vas the owner of the face that
was now appearing to Mallory. O'Brien
had seer. better days. He a been a
trainer. but had failed in business. Like
most trainers, he had been opposed to
betting, yet in his misfortune he re-
sorted to it in an effort to retrieve his
losses and had only sunk the deeper
into the mire of poverty until his wife,
a strong-minded daughter of the Elmer
aid Isle, whom-having little will of
his own left, or, at any rate, little dis

called her, but she proved to be entire
ly different from what he had pictured
her. A pretty, slender girl, piquant,
wideawake, full of fun and with an
extraordinary vocabulary of New York
slang, she transformed the whole
household with the JOY she diffnsed
from the minute of her arrival.
Mallory soon found that back of her
liveliness and f%un-loving disposition
she possessed a large capacity for dis
cernment and common sense, which
had been quiekened by the sophistica-
ton furnished by her experience in the
metropolis. Moreover. she possessed
a will of her own, inherited from her
mother and strengthened by her early
liberty from parental restraint. He
had never seen or imagined any girl
like her. AS to Patsy. she had taken
to him from the moment their hands
had met, and she had looked into his
honest, laughing eyes. and, what was
essentially characteristic of her, she
had Deer at no pains whatever to dis
guise the fact. 1t was not long before
she inspired her parents ledger with
a sentiment under the influence of
which his prejudIces in respect of
mn and matrimony underwent a
rapid and decisive revision, to the huge
delight of Mrs. O'Brien.
Patsy made up her mind that Nal
Tory was the n man in the world for
her and that she would marry him,
But the meal table conversation had
enlightened her as to the views he had
entertained, and she sy~mpathized to q
large extent with his logic, for she
a every bit as ambitious for him as
he was for himself. Therefore when
at last the telling of the oldest and
sweetest story ever uttered by human
lips had made her his and the happiest
girl in all the world, and he urged hei
to name the day and make it soon
