THE VACANT CHAIR.

We shall meet, but we shall miss him,
There will be one vacant chair;
We shall linger to caress him
When we breathe our evening prayer
When year ago we gathered,
Joy was in his mild blue eye;
But a golden cord is severed,
And our hopes in ruin lie.
At our freside, sad and lonely,
Often will the bosom swell
At remembrance of the story
How our noble Willie fell;
How he strove to bear our banner
Through the thickest of the fight,
And upheld our country's honor
With the strength of manood's might
True, they tell us, wreaths of glory
Evermore will deck his brow;
But this soothes the anguish only
Sweeping DER our heartstrings now.
Sleep today, oh, early fallen,
In thy green and narrow bedi
Dirges from the pine and cypress
Mingle with the tears we shed.
We Shall meet, but we shall miss him,
There will be one vacant chair;
We shall linger to caress him
When we breathe our evening prayer.

NEW COMET TRANSPARENT.
Discoverer Sees Star Right Through
II, Millions of Miles Beyond.

Fifty-six million miles away from
the earth, 146,OOO,OOO miles from the
sun end more than three times as
large as the earth In diameter--these
are the facts which have been deter
mined by Zaccheus Daniel, graduate
student of Princeton university, about
the new comet which he discovered on
the evening of Dec. while perehed
on the roof of the Princeton observa-
tory sweeping the heavens, as he has
done on every clear night, winter and
summer, for years, with his five and
three-quarter inch telescope.
Mr.. Daniel holds the Thaw fellow
ship In astronomy, the annual income
Of a gift of $4,000 by Mrs. William
Thaw Of Pittsburg. However, he has
been absorbed in astronomy ever since
he was, q boy, and long before he went
to the university he possessed four
inch telescope mounted on tripod.
When asked about the new comet
MIR. Daniel said:
"Of course, while the new comet ap-
pears about three times as large as
the earth, according to measurements
estimated from the computation of its
orbit, it doesn't contain one-thousandth
part of the matter, or solids, which the
earth does. Gases and vapors appear
to make up large part of it. Yet 1t
seems to have a starlike nucleus.
"a remarkable thing about 1t, too,
was that on the might | saw 1t
could distinguish a star many millions
Of miles farther away shining right
through the comet. 1t moved very
slowly. however. at the rate of only
one degree of arc day. We know
its orbit now, and from that we have
determined its distance from the sun
and from the earth. its diameter, which
is about $4,000 miles, and that it was
at perihelion. or nearest the sun, on
Dec. 5, about day before it was dis
covered

GREAT DEVELOPER
OF ALL MUSCLES
Kansas City Mans Game For
Beneflting Business Men.
TWENTY CAN PLAY TOGETHER
Athletic Director of Kansas City Club,
Deviser of Push of-war Game, Tells
How 1t Can Be Played-Deemed Bet
ter Than Tug of war.

Ter nan u9 oI-WaTs
The time worn assertion that
'there's nothing new under the sun"
has been given a severe jolt on the
solar pleXus by DR.. j. A. Reilly, ath-
letic director of the Kansas City Ath-
letic club. The Reilly scheme is so
new that he hasn't even secured a
name for 1t, but for want of better
handle it is called "Reilly's push-of-
war" 1t is scheme whereby twenty
men can take strenuous exercise at the
same time, combined with an exciting
game which brings every muscle in the
body into action. The new game is
played with a heavily padded perpen-
dicular frame fifteen feet long by three
and a half feet high placed on rollers
or casters. Ten men are placed on
each side of the frame and attempt to
push the frame across a goal line
twenty-five and half feet from the
center of the. court Instead of sitting
down and pulling, as in a tug-of- war.
the men stand up and push.
How Idea For the Game Was Conceived.
Il believe l have solved the problem
of getting business men to take exer-
else and derive the fullest benefits
therefrom." DIR. Reilly said the other
afternoon. at is new, too, as far as
l am able to learn. l have been try
ing for some time to devise some ex-
ercise that will induce group of men
to enter into it with good spirit, and
my experiments along this line have
extended several years. conceived
this idea from looking at the dumbbell
and Indian club rack standing on the
floor there. 1t is movable, and as an
experiment 1 placed a wrestling mat
across the top Of it and induced my
MONDAY class of business men to get
on opposite sides of the frame and
push against each other. The plan
was Il success from the start The
iron lips or holders used to hang the
Indian clubs or dumbbells on made
the pushing machine dangerous, so /
ordered one built. The new machine
will be SO padded that there will be no
danger from injury. and if mans
arm becomes tired he can use his
shoulders or back and push against it.
Better Than a Tug.of-war.
The old tug-of-w war exercise was bad
in that the chest and other muscles
were drawn together and cramped as
the men pulled Oh the ropes In the
new plan all of the muscles are ex-
banded and many parts of the body
never used in the hardest kinds of
exercise are brought into play. Add
to this the excitement of struggle
against an opponent and you can see
that it will be q successful game.
"One of the hardest things to over
come for a physical director is to get
class of business men interested in
exercise. If man feels that he is
inferior to other men on the floor he
doesn't enjoy getting out and making
a show of himself, but in this kind of
exercise it will not be known who Is
doing the bulk of the work, aud at the
same time every man will be doing his
utmost for the sake of his team.

get my new pushing machine In the
