Of the morn to record the doings OF n

Behold him as he rusheth forth for
the early morning train to catch We

Behold him again in the heat of the
MONDAY, chasing the fleeting cob.web
OF some romantic paragraph for thy
reading over thy coffee and buns. or
seeking thee out from the motley
throng to give thee little write-up.
Behold, the brave newspaper man
recordeth the day of thy birth. He
gives account of all thy doings to
the curious world. Behold, he even
recordeth thy death and speaketh
largely of thy may virtues when thou
vert alive. And he sayeth nothing OF

Yea. ye newspaper man is ye no
Bile creature. He is brave beyond all
Imagination. He boldly faceth the
cold-eyed scoundrel who cometh witt

Verify, the newspaper man deserv-

THE WISE SISTER.

There was once two sisters who
were anxious to make hit with some
nice young man possessed OF the coin
One Of the sisters was a dreamy.
eyed proposition who studied Virgil
and was also fond of cooking.
The other sister had get-there air
and pair Of goo-goo eyes, but she
wasn't much on the educational order
She could give the fellows big con
game about know a lot, but her sister,
who really had the goods, was too
studious to take time to preach on
what she knew.
While the wise sister was out on
the lake rowing with some chappie Or
automobiling In the moonlight, the
other sister would be studying books
on How 10 Cook" or Care Of Babies" ]"
The young men who came to see the
two sisters used TO find the wise sis
ter In the parlor with her best dress
on and "would-you- -care-if-I-s should
leave-you" expression on her face,
while the other sister would have on
her apron and be scraplng the dirt
from the kitchen larder.
Finally. the wise sister threw In
her hook and caught a large prize In
the shape Of youth with plenty TO
spend and no membranes. They
went to live In a swell house and
hired a cook.
The other sister is still reading
How to Housekeep" and waiting for
the hero to turn up on golden broom.

THE ANNlHILATloN OF DISTANCE

%
How much nearer to each other the
nations OF the world are today than
they were few decades ago! When
weeks and months were required to
get news from across the ocean the
old world seemed to be long way
off. Now the whole earth is beIted
with telegraph and cable lines, and
yesterdays happenings in Europe,
Asia, Africa, South America, Australia
and the islands OF the sea are read at
this mornings breakfast table. Dis.
tance is annihiliated and the nations
are becoming friendly neighbors In
consequence. The marvellous change
10 brought home to the mind most
strikingly upon reading a great mod
ern newspaper whose telegraphic
news covers the whole world each day
"A paper such as the Chicago Rec.
ord-Herald which has a veritabIe
army OF correspondents in every i'm.
portant city. In addition to It's own
STAFF OF correspondents The Record.
Herald has the benefit OF the foreign
news service Of the New York Her.
AID, famous for It's world wide cable
system and for the reliability OF It's
foreign news: also that OF the New
York World and the New York Jour
nal OF Commerce, besides that great

ton, the Associated Press.

OLD DESIGN
WON THE RACE

Discussing the transpaciiic yachts,
one of the visiting yachtsmen said yes.
terday:
"There was a modern Crowunshield
design racing with boat from the
board of Matthew Turner, built twenty
years ago. The comparison was Ger.
tainly not to the discredit of the older
style boat, the Lurline.
1.-The Lurline is not quick in stays,
it is true, but this is compensated by
her steadiness on course on account
of her long keel. The short keel Ha-
wall is clever and quick, but requires
very careful steering in order to get
the best work out of her. Her skipper
probably pinched her too close ON wind.
ward work.
"Matthew Turner has built the
fastest large yachts that have been
turned ont on the Coast. The Nellie,
now cut beyond recognition for the
passenger traffic between Long Beach
aud San Pedro, was one. of the stars
twenty years ago. The brig Galilee,
well known to seafaring men, made a
record run with cargo from San Fran.
cisco to Honolulu. All of Turner's de.
signs are worked out on wave line
theory, giving the bows beautiful
curves.
"The bow is entirely different from
the modern bows, like that of the Ha-
wall. The latter boat instead of hol-
low water-line forward is slightly
rounded. The correct principle is in
volved in the Turner hull, judging by
the time the Nellie makes under power
and the very small rifle that speed
causes in the water.

the race Captain Sinclair gave the
other boats the right of way. He is the
whitest sailor that ever sent a yacht
