A Few Pointed Suggestions For Ocean
Travellers.
Do not interfere with the captain in
the performance Of his duties or offer
suggestions In navigation based upon
your own experience in running a
catboat on Lake Mohonk. There are
few captains now in the transatlantic
service who have not crossed the
ocean several times, and we know of
aone who has acquired his knowledge
Of the sea In a correspondence school.

If you did not notice the act. Bear in
mind that two heads are better than
one. The lullaby may put her to
sleep, when her curls may be gently
removed to her own sofa pillow.
Should you desire to go below before
she goes to sleep send the deck stew

within you rise with 1t as nearly 81
multaneously as possible and hasten
from the saloon, taking care In your
flight to stick to the aisles between
the tables and not go leaping from
table to table like a frightened ante

course would cause considerable con

If on your way to the upper deck

HALFBACK NORRIS is
OUT AT LAFAYETTE

E~aston, Pa, Oct. 26-With Norris,
the Lafayette halfback, out of the
game by reason of his broken collar
bone, Coach FoIlwell is trying out
various men to I'LL the position and
get the eleven in shape%for the game
with Pennsylvania on Saturday. Foil
well Is also having it out with the
players on the question of taekling,
in which Lafayette needs improve
ment. He is putting the men through
with considerable sharpness and the
practice all this week will be hard.
Roth is doing good work in the back
field and Is regarded as a likely sue
cessor to Norris. Wolf and Gross are
having a sharp rivalry for left end,
