, THE true personality OF President
=. Charlie, William Eliot of Harvard
is known to but few OF his inti-
mate friends To most OF his lifelong
associates on hi, faculty he is said to
be- as much OF riddle as he Is to the
average undergraduate. The inherent
gentleneS, and kindline>> of his nature
are observed behind the popular picture
and citizen. Richard W. Child writes OF
thi. human side of President Eliot i'll
Golfers Weekly. He says in part:
No one knows Eliot. Many know
him well. but they do not know him
all Some have seen his character grow
and riprn. They have been side by side
with him. They have seen the little
change after change in the lines of his
face. which show in the comparison OF
his photographs OF Years ago and of
now. They know better than the
younger men how truly a drama is rep
resented in these pictures. Better than

clearly understood that it is not put on
by the local dealers, but by the producers
in the east. Their motive is the same as
that of the man who demands increased
wages when labor is scarce. The local
demand is such that we cannot supply
everyone at once and we have refused in
some cases to deliver large orders at once,
preferring to divide the riders and supply
the immediate demands of as many people
as we can. All Of our fifty teams are out
and other dealers are in the same fix"
Dealers assert that they would be JUS

Word has come to republican head

sections of the city.
Mr.. Van Camp, the elder, is the candi-

any quarrel with this filial devotion, say
the friends of Mr.. Scott, were 1t not that
the impression is left with thost suscep-

is the candidate, instead OF his father.
The doctor is quite popular with certain
elements and a good deal OF a hustler
and his methods are reckoned on to help
the vote of the democratic candidate very
materially.

supposed to be holding office as republi.

CRASPS YANKEE WAYS
Young Men, Led by Y. M. G. A., Are
Adopting American Athletics.
WANT TO SEND MAN TO oLYMPICs
Prof. c. H. Robertson, One of the
American Workers al Tien
Tsin, Tells of the Progress
Over There.

Base ball and other American athletic
sports are being introduced In China by
American representatives OF the Young
Mems Christian association and 1t is now
a question Of how long 1t will be before
China will be able to send a winning team
to the Olympic said C. II. Robertson Of
the Chinese Young Mems Christian asso-
citation, who left this country seven years
ago to ngage in that most interesting
work ard is now visiting local Young
Mems Christian association men. He left
a professorship in an American college to
work with the Chinese and 1t took him
two years and three months to get a work
ing knowledge Of the language.
"China is changing more rapidly than
any other nation on earth and the Chi
nese boys take up the American games
just as do the American youths. Omaha is
now supporting a missionary who is doing
an Immense amount Of good, w. w. Lock-
wood, who was formerly a secretary in the
Young Mems Christian association I'm
Omaha, and is now general secretary at
Shanghai.
Mr.. Robertson has some pictures of the
Chinese engaging in their athletics and
they look typical, even to the American
megaphone. They are hurdllng, throwing
the weights, racing, pole v~aulting and
doing all sorts of stunts recognized as
American sports.
The Young Mems Christian association
work In China is now localized, but we
are trying to make It's scope national.
Besides athletics we are working along
seven general lines and all are working
out WELL. The second is by welfare and
publicity work
Things IL Must Avoid.
