 Tn this connection we must take &C., count of the modern tendency to over indulgence in athletic sports. It Is well known that overactivity in this direction, with the physical strain resulting from keenly contested games, leaves its fm- print on the physical status of the imma- ture or underdeveloped youth.

Doc Marks Tennis Court.

New York Correspondence Boston Post.
 John B. Kraft, of Upper Montclair, N. J., is the owner of g dog named Butts that is a positive canine genius.
 MT. Kraft has tennis court, and the marking of the court has always been an arduous task for him. The dog always watched MT. Kraft attentively as he marked the boundaries of the court with white chalk.
 Mr. Kraft was surprised to see Butts rub his tail in the chalk and walk along the lines that were clearly defined by strings stretched from peg to peg. His master encouraged Butts in the work, and the dog has now attained a remarka ble degree of proficiency.
 It is no longer necessary for MT. Kraft to do anything but place the guiding strings. As soon as these preliminaries are executed the dog rubs his tall in the nan of chalk and goes over the entire course with a fidelity that results in per feet demarcations, according to MT. Kraft

SVEN HEDIN LOST
 IN THIBET'S WILDS

Stockholm, June 20.-The Geographical society and other scientific bodies inter- ested in Dr. Sven Hedin's third exploring tour In Thibet have given up all hope of ever seeing him again, assuming that he must have dled of famine, thirst or by warlike natives.
 The last time the Swedish geographists heard from the explorer was December, 1907, when he was about to start from Scheyok for Southeast Thibet with a strong guard and many scientific CO., workers. Scheyok is the terminus of a mucA frequented caravan route, and Dr. Hedin's friends calculate that, if alive, he would have had plenty of opportunity 10 send messages or letters.
 The doctor, in his last letters received here, sad that he expected much trouble both from unfriendly natives and from the lack of water and food in the districts he intended to explore.

SAMUEL GOMPERS
 THE LABOR LEADER Saved the Republican COnven- ton from Being Entirely Dull IA FRIEND OF ROOSEVELT Born in England, the Federation Pres ident Came to ThIs Country When
 Boy-For Years He Worked
 at Trade of Cigar Maker.
A FRIEND OF ROOSEVELT
BY SEWELL HAGGARD.

New York, June 2O.-'.Who is this man Gompers?" asked a street car traveller of his neighbor. as he put aside a newspaper containing an account of the doings of MT. Roosevelt's so-called republican conven- tion at Chicago.
 "Gompers-why, he's labor leader" re- sponded the neighbor.
 And that represents the public knowl- edge of the man who helped to keep the republican convention from being entirely devoid of interest," it was the anti-injunc- ton plank that MT. Roosevelt had prom ised MT. Gompers that caused the first ripple in that telephone-conducted affair.
 What of Gompers the man? Has he been a workman and thereby acquired the practical experience essential to his posi- ton as a labor leader? Is he an American citizen, or is ne an alien?
 Samuel Gompers was not born in this country; he was born in London, the son of a cigarmaker. He attended school un- til he was 10 years old and then went to work for a shoemaker. Soon tiring of this trade, he followed in his father s footsteps and became a cigarmaker. While working with his father he went to night school for a short time, but seems to have lad no further education.
 GOmpers is now 5S years old and has been in this country 45 years. He first settled In this city and in due course of time be- came a naturalized citizen. His present home is in Washington, but he still votes in New York. Many persons declare that the labor leader is Jew; this probably is due to the fact that he has the appearance of Hebrew, but in reality his family came from Holland, and there is nothing more than his appearance and the fact that his fathers name was Saul to bear out the assumption that he is a Jew. A labor paper says of Gompers that he does not belong to any church; that he is too broad for creeds and sectarian beliefs.
 In sketch of his life approved by him. self, he says of his father that he was a cigarmaker, an industrious workman, a kind father and a man of remarkab ble memory" He declares of his mother that she was a woman of excellent antece- dents, her parents being highly educated and through her Influence on his moral and intellectual life he was led to study and to seek to benefit his fellow man." He further fills out his genealogical back ground by describing his grandfather as "a man of a philosophical turn of mind, of extraordinary courage and fearlessness and well informed through knowledge ac- quired by wide travel in Europe"

of the We1l-Inforned of the World has always been for a simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because it's com- ponent parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action.
 In supplying that demand with it's ex- cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remark able success.
 That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-Informed. To get it's beneficial effects always buy the genuine-manufactured by the Cali fornia Fig Syrup Co.,, only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle.
