NEW YORK, Oct. 9O.-The coming
national ten-mile run championship, which
takes place at Celtic park on November 6

distance race held around here in many
moons. John DAILY, the old warhorse OF
the Irish-American club, who won the title

he 10 going seconds faster than any Of the

against overwhelming odds and hold his
own, DAILY is right there.
He will not have IN easy time. however.

Queer Cases of JiIt.

A well known novelist was once jilt-
ed by a girl who took exception to the
inadequate punishment melted out to
one of his fictitious villains. She de-
clared that as he regarded vice with
so lenient an eye he must himself be
at heart reprobate and unworthy Of
true love and that she must request
that their acquaintance cease.
An eminent lawyer in his younger
days met with a similar mishap. The
lady to whom he was engaged, chanc-
ing to hear that he had delivered
most skillful though futile speech in
defense Of an arrant rogue, wrote.

one who could thus strive to specious-
ly excuse crime. In return he pleaded
the exigencies Of the profession, but in
vain. The lady was obdurate and soon
afterward, by the strange irony OF
fate, married a man who was ulti-
mately convicted Of gross fraud, main
ly through the forensic eloquence OF
her former lover.

The life of the criminal is simply
an unpoised life. If person were per-

1t is the one sided, the unpoised mind

draw to itself whatever is kindred.
Just as the needle in the mariners

which always points to the North star

Esr,o,,s Golf Match.

A projected golf match between two
well known amateurs and leading
member Of the London stock exchange
for a stake of $500 recalls the famous
foursome in which the Duke of York,
afterward James H., took a prominent
part on the Leith links In the year
1852. 1t was really an international
contest, in which the duke, with John
Patersone, a golfng shoemaker of
great repute, championed Scotland
against two noblemen of England, a
heavy wager depending on the issue.
The duke and the cobbler had an easy
victory, thanks largely to the man OF
the last, and John Patersone's share
of the stakes was so substantial that
he was able to build a goodly house
in the Canongate, in wall Of which
the duke caused stone to be placed
bearing the Patersone arms with the
motto Far and sure" tribute to the
cobblers driving powers. Patersone's
house, we understand, survives today.

branches, is cut within few inches OF

The branches are then rubbed to sepa-
