Accomplishing Results.

When President Garfield was in col
lege he was striving for honors In
Latin. His strongest rival for the
honors lived in a room directly across
the campus from his own. Garfield
found out that the rival studied his
Latin the last hour before retiring.
Garfield adopted the plah OF studying
his Latin at the same hour-in fact, he
studied until the rival turned out his
light each night And then he studied
just 10 minutes longer. He won the
honors. The Is minutes extra each
night gave him the necessary slight
advantage over the other man in the
final markings

puts forth extra effort accomplishes

Send Wives to coIonIsts.

In the German colonies there are
large tracts of land. larger even than
Germany, where men and women could
make a good. living. At present there
are about 10000 men In these colonies
and only 1000 women. The Woman's
German Colonial union has been or
ganized under the patronage Of the
grand duke OF Mecklenburg. nearly
every member being the wife of a
government ohicial or army officer.
The union is working to interest wom-
en- in the colonies and to help them to
emigrate. Many German women have
been sent to make wives for the colon.
lists. The union also looks forward
to helping families by establishing
schools and other necessary aids to
good living.

~ HICAGO ls the favorite city for
Republican national conventions.
~ or the thirteen quadrennial con.
ventions held by this great po-
Jitical party since its birth six have
been held In Chicago. This year Chi
sago is again the meeting place. The
Republican convention opens there
June 10 to nominate candidates for
president and vice president Of the
United States. Thus to the great ILL
nols metropolis must be credited ex
actly half of the national conventions
Of the Republican party, while the
Democratic party has held four Of it,
nineteen national conventions in Chi
cago.
First Of the Republican party's Chi
cago convention was that OF 1860, for
ever memorable for having nominated
for president the illustrious emancipa-
tor, Abraham Lincoln. In 1868 the con.
vention again was held in Chicago, the
nominee being the second great figure
developed by the civil war, Ulysses S.
Grant. Beginning with 1880 three con-
secutive conventions met in Chicago.
That Of the year mentioned nominated
James A. Garfield. In 1884 James G.
Blaine was named, while in 1888 the
convention placed Benjamin Harrison
in nomination. For three convention
years the Republicans again deserted
the great city on Lake Michigan's
shore, but in 1904 the convention
sat in Chicago, nominating Theodore
Roosevelt.
OF the six candidates nominated at
Chicago by the Republican party all
but one have been elected. Blaine was
the only candidate who failed to win.
Lincoln, Grant. Garfield, Harrison and
Roosevelt were sent to the White
House by way of Chicago. Five tri-
umphs out Of six trials make an excel.
lent showing for Chicago as n lucky
place for the launching Of presidential
nominees.

EXPERT DIVING

Interest Being Fostered by Ath-
thletic Clubs in the Grace
full Sport.

Diving is a sport which is taking I'D
much of the time of American swim
mers nowadays and in which they have
made great advances during the last
three or four years Three years ago
the New York Athletic Club endeav-
ored 70 foster interest in the sport by
adding a diving contest to its monthly
program of swimming events held at
Travers Island. At this time there
were not more than hale dozen good
divers in the whole country
The graceful and spectacular work
of the few metropolitan divers upon
this occasion. chief among whom were
Thomas O'Callaghan. Walter Lee and
Fred Wenck. caught the fancy of the
spectators, and diving was an estab-
lished feature upon each program OF
swimming events thereafter A little
later the interest created by the sport
of the Amateur Athletic Union. the
latter added a national championship
at the sport. which has been one OF
the most interesting features of the
national swimming championships
Later still the colleges took up div
ing and made it one Of the principal
features Of the programs Of their dual
swimming meets when the iHtercel-
legiate swimming association was or
ganized. Then they created an inter-
collegiate diving championship
Rules were then adopted by the A.
A. l. to govern diving contests, de-
fning the standard dives, and now This
branch of sport Is as firmly established
as IL it had been followed for years.
