Each day receive at least half dozen

me how it is possible to tell whether the
object of their affection returns their re-

Apparently most of these young men
are afraid of meeting the final test of a
definite yes" or no" They do not wish
to subject themselves to the chance of a
possible refusal. In other words, they want
the girl to do more than half of the court

MARATHON AT cENTRALlA

Marathon racing or long distance
has been in the ascendency
in American sport calendar in the
last two years and one of the most
popular races of this character held
in Illinois, and practically the only
ones, are those which the Egyptian
MustleTs have a special sanction foI
each year from the amateur Athletic
Association. The Hustlers who meet
this year at Centralia, June 10, IL
and 18th, have arrangements, and a
heavy prize list for their big an
nual Marathon during their three
days jolliiication at Centralia, and
Foreshaw, probably the most noted
Marathon racer In America, has en-
tered, along with a long string OF
other we'll known long distance run
ners. There is some interest in Mar
athon racing in this ely, and mos
probably there will be some of oui
local athletes attend The Centralia
meet to take in this event. The en-
tries are open to all amateur runners
and il would be a good idea for some
of our local runners to go after celeb

The Mystery OF
the Savage Stump (
BY SAM DAVIS

II was more than 20 years ago thai
Virginia City, New. first wrestled with
what was known as THE Mystery OF
the Savage Stump
The sump of the Savage mine Is an
excavation at the foot of the incline
where the hot water OF the NINE cor
lects in volume, and from whence II
Is pumped into the Sutro tunnel,
steaming. scalding hot. The Sutro tun-
mel strikes the great Comstock led6e
750 feet below the surface, and Is
the drain pipe through which all the
water in the Comstoek mines is als-
charged. 1t runs through the boxes IN
the tunnel near five miles before II
reaches the lower mouth of the tuhfel
and from thence finds its way into the
