many of his out Of town patrons and
friends TO have a representative call

store. To do this Mr. Sander will
double the force in his work shop
which is located at COS Commercial

He will need the room that is now
occupied by his stock in that line
and wishes to again devote his whole

will be more profitable TO concentrate
his energies along that line.

WILD RACE WITH DEATH.
Engineer Makes Great Run with Dy-
ing Child in Arm.

Philadelphia fast as he ever
went to any fire, District Engin er
John Smith Of Engine company No l.,
Nineteenth and South streets, drove
his carriage from Fifteenth and Chris
tian streets, to the Howard hospital to
save the life of a four-yearold girl
whom he held with one arm while he
clutched the reins with the other
hand. Changing along Broad street as
fast as his horse could gallop, the en-
gineer made a record-breaking run,
but all his efforts were in vain, for the
child died soon after her admission
to the hospital.
The little girl was Rosalie, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. John McTague,
and she had been severely burned in
a fire at her parents home on Chris
tian street. How the fire originated Is
unknown, but it is supposed that
Rosalie and her twin sister, Marie,
were playing with matches in their
bed in the second story back room
Mrs McTague was startled by Marie,
who ran downstairs, to the kitchen to-
inform her mother that the bed was
On fire. The frantic mother rushed
upstairs and discovered Rosalie lying
on the burning bed, her clothing
ablaze. Hastily snatching UP a rug
she smothered the blaze and called her
husband Both mother and father
were badly burned.
Meanwhile, an alarm had been
turned in, and the engines arrived Just
as the little girl was being carried out
of the house. Engineer Smith saw her
critical condition and without waiting
to call for a patrol or ambulance, bun.
died the child into his carriage and
drove to the hospital. Mr.. and Mrs.
McTague followed in the automobile
of DR.. Mclean. The fire was quickly
extinguished, with loss of $3.50.

The New York to Paris automobil
lists have found speedy realization of
the prediction that when they reached
Alaska they would learn what bad
going actually meant. At least, the
only car which has yet gone thus far
has made the discovery. The Ameri-
can machine, which it was expected
would push on through the Alaskan
wastes to Nome, on the western side
or the territory, there taking ship pas
sage to Siberia, is halted at Valdez. A
dispatch from that point to the news
paper which is behind the scheme says
1t will be impossible to go through
Alaska. Experiments made under con-
dlttons there one feature being
heavy snowstorm, shows there is
nothing but narrow trails, which can
not be "negotiated' by the autos. So
the whole outfit has been loaded on a
steamer which will return to Seattle,
and from that point vessel will take
the car and the party accompanying it
to Vladivostok The dispatch from
Valdez says with refreshing frankness:
ut Is impossible for any man who has
not seen the trail over which the mail
is carried from Valdez to Fairbanks to
realize the conditions that exist today.
To consider making the trip across
Alaska in the face Of such conditions
would be dream Of a cgeechaco
siyass,' In the Chinook jargon, which
means the Alaskan tenderfOot" In the
opinion Of the Troy On. " Times, this
outcome is not surprising, for at the
outset 1t was predicted in various quar-
ters that no automobile could succeed
in getting through the Alaskan wilder
ness. Even the muCh-berated highways
of New York state must appear like
first-class roads by comparison with
the Alaskan trails And parts Of ST.
IBERIA are likely to be not much better.

There are also many youngsters

With all this in view would warn
boys not to enter college athletics
without previous practice. and l here
outline the most important details of
such practice
To the boy who has followed the

open book. He will be practically
immune from injury and will be eligi-

matter how much general exercise Of
any sort a boy may have taken, GER
tain specific exercises should be
learned in advance if he intends TO
compete for collegiate honors.
I will suppose you intend to enter
college next fall You will therefore
have at least six months in which to
train. "Training'' and exercising
are two widely different things. Here
tofore you have been exercising.
Henceforth you must train.
Exercise is like the fieXing of the

Training is the application Of such ex-
ercises by playing a difficult piano Sc.
lection. Do you see the difference?
The ground work of training is
sound wind in sound body. If your
body is not sound leave college ath-
letics alone. They can bring you moth
ing but harm. AS for your wind, how.
ever, you can bring that to state of
perfection. If your wind is not good
you can never be good athlete.
The deep breathing have described
will do more for the wind than will
anything else. But running is the
best exercise for wind and body alike,
when a man starts in training.
Begin by running mile a day. In
crease this by block each day until
you get the distance up to two miles a
day
Run steadily-not with alternate fits
of rushing and of lounging-and
sprint for the last 200 yards of the
distance. This you cannot do at first.
Indeed, some of you cannot run a mile
without stopping. Such boys should
begin with a half-mile and increase the
distance as rapidly as they are able
to, to one and then to two miles.

American Educational Methods.

Here is another tribute to the value
of American educational methods. In
a paper read by Sir William Henry
Preece, formerly president of the In
stitution of Civil Engineers, before the
Royal Society of Arts in London, the
speaker mentioned the difficulty if not
impossibility Of making a comparison
between English and American meth
DDS, owing to the fact that the Ameri-
can boy possesses "the energy and
smartness of new race; the Euro
pean boy mentally Is two years behind
him." This explained the difference in
curricula and examination papers.
But 1t is American adaptation to these
different conditions which accounts for
the success of educational methods
here. Still further testimony to the
efficacy of American ideas is found in
the proposition from Germany that the
conversational style of teaching Ian.
guages be put into practice by an ex-
change of American and German pro-
fessors, the American professors in
structing German students by this
method, and vice versa. German edu-
Gators are alive to the practical de-
mands of the times, and appear to de-
rive much inspiration from the United
