In the four-oared race, Harvard again
has the advantage, having two of last

Yale crew has not a veteran. Both
crews are capable of rowing a high
stroke, but YaIe's stroke seems to be
a little shorter than Harvard's. For a

Winning First Game in New

Half q loaf is better than none. and
an even break against New York in the
double-header there just helped Wash
ingtOn little Winning the first game
20 l was the kind OF battle that might
have been expected TO put life in Wash
ington. but the score Of II TO s In favor
of New York in the second contest only
goes to show that anybody who expects
anything OF the Nationals has been
touched by the heat. That Walter
Johnson should win his game was
natural enough. Groom has shown such
good form at times that he looked like
a good bet TO so against New York after
Washington had made the Yankees look
weak IN the first game. but he had his
fatal WildnesS and threw the game
away. The trouble with Groom Is that
he Is not dependable, and generally does
great damage before he can be chased
70 the bench. He may do. and certainly
IS good now and then, but IL tries the
patience OF a very patient lot OF fans
20 see how he can toss game away Ia
one inning.
Lew Drill has been getting big money
as manager OF minor league teams. and
the Pueblo fans viii have to pay
fancy price TO get him.
Charley Street is not the kind of
ball player who makes life miserable

A Spanish War Criticism.

When the Spanish war came upon
us Commodore Dewey was at Hong
kong. The navy department had sent
him no preliminary orders. He didn't
know anything about the ultimate pol
icy or what the ultimate. plan Of cam
paign would be. The navy department
didn't itself know. Dewey should
have moved two or three days sooner
than he did, and two or three days
sometimes are vital. But our Wash
ington officials were only aroused to
the necessity of giving Admiral Dewey
an order by cablegram from Dewey
informing them that the British gov
ernor Of Hongkong insisted that our
feet must leave there. We were so
dazed by the immediate exigencies Of
war that the English government had
to prod us in the ribs to wake us ZIP.
Then our Washington authorities is.
sued an order and not till then. They
told Dewey to proceed to the Philip
pine Islands and capture or destroy
the Spanish feet. In other words,
they gave him the stereotyped war or
der in the phraseology Of the signal
code, which, literally translated, read:
"Go ahead and do the best you can.
We give it up.'-Collier's.

their tools. Clark, who was rank I'm
ion, took home the "Pilgrim's Prog
ress" on purpose to put saws into the
thick covers. He didn't dare send the
book direct to the prisoners, expecting
that such an act would implicate him.
He brought 1t back to me and induced
an old lady to buy it and send it to the
prisoners. When she consented Clark,
not willing to rely on an ordinary mes
senger, got one Of his sons to make up
for a darby, buy the book and carry It
to the jail.

\ Back Number.
Looking at the Indian chief
In greasy blanket rolled,
1t is quite beyond belief
That he once was bad and bold,
That he terrcrized the land
With his warwhoops loud and free
And could always turn a hand
In bloody scalping bee.
Now he looks very jay
Any woman small could chase,
It he got the least bit gay.
With a broomstick Off the place.
Buried is. his tomahawk,
And his pride has had a fall,
So the naughty chief must walk
Softly If he walks at all.
Nothing doing any more
For the man Of copper hue.
To be frank. his day is DER,
And the red may well be blue.
Once he ruled this favored land:
Now he would be more or less
Thankful for a place to stand
Or permanent address.
Gone his glory and his reign,
Gone the chance for him to scrap.
Should he venture to complain
We would wipe him off the map
Right or wrong, we hold the soil
Over which he once had sway.
Quietly his blood may boil.
But we own the u. s. A.

Abroad.

Abroad is a locality entirely sur
rounded by seasickness. In another
view it is bourne more or less mys-
ferrous, bounded on it's farther side by
your income and on its hither side by
custom houses where you have to de-
clare everything you bring back with
you except a foreign accent and one
change Of hosiery.
Abroad is where
1. They put
a. Labels all over your luggage and
b. It all over you.
2. You are almost always going
down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and
the good Samaritan invariably wants
a tip.
Abroad is the stage Of history, but
that Is only because history made the
too common mistake Of not seeing
America first-Puck.

Nicotine.

III excessive smoking alone could
cause heart degeneration" writes cor
respondent Of the London Mail, "such
cases would be common instead Of ex-
tremely rare. The fact is that only an
almost infinitesimal amount Of nicotine
Is absorbed in smoking. An ordinary
sized cigar or an ounce Of smoking to-
bacco contains enough of this virulent
poison to kill two men. The only rea-
son all smokers are not killed at once
is that the nicotine is destroyed in the
combustion of the leaf"

smuggling. A few eatables had been
sent in, but they had all been so care
fully examined that by no possibility
could they have contained tools. From
something I heard during the talk
about the escape got on to clew.
What I heard was this: Only one ar
ticle except food had been sent to the
prisoners. A pious old lady living up
the river had sent them copy Of Bun
yan's "Pilgrim's Progress" But the
book had been well shaken and care
exercised that nothing should be con-
cealed between the leaves. It was not
suspected that the book had contained
saws or files. The only singular part
of this matter was that the prisoners
had taken the "Pilgrim's Progress"
with them.
After the close Of the war learned
the secret. It seems that after the es-
cape one Of the Yankees was concealed
for time on the plantation Of Tom
Clark. Clark's daughter Helen fell in
love with the fellow and he with her.
Six months after the loss Of our cause
this Yankee came down and married
Helen Clark. While here he told the
story Of how he and his comrades got
