Pluck That Wins.

Naval officers love to tell of the
pluck shown by the enlisted men of
the navy; and of these stories per-
haps none is more interesting than
the tale of the Irish seaman who en-
tered in a certain rivalry with a
Dutch sailor, retold lately in Lip
pincott's.
In the old days an American wood
en- ship of war once lay in a Dutch
port, and a number of Dutch sailors
came aboard to fraternize.
Shortly spirit of rivalry arose.
The sailors tried to outdo one another
in athletic tricks; and the honors
were for some time with the Ameri-
cans. Finally, however, to the con-
sternation of our men, one Dutchman
climbed to the very top of the main
mast and there stood on his head.
Seeing that his fellows were much
downcast by reason of the Dutch
mans feat, an Irishman leaped to his
feet, exclaiming that the would not
let Dutchman beat him.
Accordingly, this reckless Celt
scampered up the mast like monk
ey, and when he had reached the top
he prepared to duplicate the foreign

JEFFRIES
MAY MEET
JACK AGAIN
GLEASON AND BERGER GIVE OUT
STATEMENTS AT CHICAGO IN
DEBATING THAT A RETURN
MATCH is BEING ARRANGED.
UNITED PRnss LpAsnD w1Rp,l

Chicago, Jul y22.-Jack Gleason
and Sam Berger, Jeffries' manager,
arrived in Chicago today, and gave
out statements which caused the be-
lief that a return match between
Johnson and Jeffries soon will be ar
ranged.
There is no reason why Jim
Jeffries shouldn't try to wipe out the
stain of his defeat by Jack Johnson"
said Berger.
Jack Gleason one of the promot-
ers of the big Reno battle, also thinks
there is a good chance for a second
fight.
81 would not be surprised to see
JEFF re-enter the ring" he said.
Since Rickard is now with JEFF on
a fishing trip, and had a conference
with Gleason before he went, and
since Berger was present at the first
interview between Tex and Jff, Chi
cago fans believe that the optimistic
statements of the fighters manager
and Gleason indicate that the fight
will be staged, "if the public is will
ing"
Rickard already has declared that
he wants to stage another fight, and
JEFF has said that he is considering
the matter.
"In my opinion" said Berger,
Jeff can whip Johnson any day in
the week. He was so nervous that he
was practically a mental wreck on
July 4. 1t is not likely that it would
happen that he would be in that con-
dition again.
"If Jeffries re-enters the ring for
return match with the negro, the re-
suit might be an entirely different
story" said Gleason. "He was not
himself in the Reno fight"

Postcard King.

Sir George Houston Reid, the high

at Glasgow, participating in the GER

for himself among his admirers at
the antipodes the title of "the post

fact that speedily after reaching this

Chateau de RambouiIIet.

Tourists whose stay in Paris is
short seldom include visit to Ram
bouillet, the Presidents official sum
mer home, in their itinerary of the
capitals environs. And yet, although
the chateau has no great architectural
interest, the grounds far surpass the
Versailles gardens in size and natural
beauty. These grounds consist Of a
parterre, three parks and a farm,
where the first merino sheep in
France were kept, having been
brought back from Spain by Napoleon.
The English park with its chalets
and tiny streams is approached
through an avenue of Louisiana
expresses, which is unique in Europe.
Beyond the village of kambouillet
lies a vast forest.
President Fallieress' favorite dis
traction is a game of Billiards, and he
has broken the record of former
President Grevy, who was also an
adept. He has converted the marble
hall which used to serve as the guard
room into a billiard room, and during
his sojourns few evenings go by that
neighboring notables are not invited
to join the game. M. Fallieres usual
ly passes part of each spring and
autumn at Rambouillet During the
summer he always manages to spend
a few weeks, in the interim of official
trips, at Loupillon, the old home
stead of the Fallieres family in the
south of France. Since he has been
president this homestead has been en-
tirely done over. 1t is simple man
or house in the midst of a vineyard
country.
The transformation of the guard
room into a billiard hall is only one
of the many charges that have taken
place at Rambouillet since 1t became
a presidential mansion. Perhaps the
most radical of these is the conver-
sion of Napoleon's bathroom into al
office.
Ever since the end Of the eigh-
teenth century the chateau Of Ram
bouillet has been intimately connect
ed with the affairs of the heads of
the nation. 1t was purchased by the
crown during the reign Of Louis XVI.
Signs of that monarch's occupancy
are not hard to find. In the parks
he constructed a small temple, an
artificial grotto and a dairy, where
Marie Antoinette played milkmaid
with her court ladies', as she did at
Versailles and at the Pre- Catalan
farm. Later, Charles X. signed his
abdication at Rambouillet.
The chateau was originally crown
property, but after Francis LIS reign
it passed into the hands Of the Mar
quis de Rambouillet His wife was
the head of that brilliant literary
group that made the name of Ram
bouillet famous in history. For over
a century the chateau remained
private property.

DECLARES
WAS MERELY
PUPPY Love"
MISS HELEN SMITH, HEIR TOl
MILLIONS, MAKES SARCASTIC !
AND CAUSTIC REPLY TO SUIT
FOR BREACH OF PROMISE.
UNITED PRnss LnAsED wIRn.l

New York, July 22.-The suit OF
Russell Griswold, 21 years, for $780,
900 damages for breach of promise
against Miss Helen Woodruff Smith,
of Stanford, Conn, heiress to sever
al millions, was characterized as
''blackmall" today by the young lady.
Miss Smith freely discussed the suit
as she was preparing to leave for a
cruise on the yacht Vicking.
"Griswold published my letters to
him, and they speak for themselves" "
she said. "They are letters from a
patroness to a protege kid-a mere
boy.
81 was only joshing in my letters,
and if l mentioned love, it was only
puppy love. 1 had no thought Of
marrying him, and did not promise
to marry him.
"I wouldn't marry the finest man
in the world, and this nasty little
turncoat is hardly a man, is her"
Then followed references to young
Griswold, in which expressions of
'turncoat," 'presumptious little
cad" "bounder" and "beggar" were
features.
81 educated and practically raised
Griswold," continued Miss Smith. HE
is foolish boy, and has been i'll ad-
vised."
Griswold today published more
letters attributed to the girl. One of
the extracts reads:
"Be sure and destroy the evidence
Of my whereabouts, and do not say
am here or anywhere. 1t were best
to say, like Evelyn Thaw, that you
don't know
81 think I'll take a Golden Gate
or some other high priced drink.
Maybe it will open the way to the
sweet presence of a good diffused,
but thoughts affectionete so often oc-
casion that presence that there win be
nothing new about it except the
drink, Meiner Siegfred."
Another portion of the letter
reads:"
"Ye Gods, kid Just finished the
job. 1t might have been the other
way, but, thanks to your help, 1t did
not finish me. IT'S hard to kiss you,
sweetheart, when the last kiss means
goodbye"
Later this occurs
"With this goes two handkerchiefs.
Not for tears, but to wave them when
we're in sight; not to fiirt with, but
to repose in Ruzzie's pocket, to be
used after soda and the like"
Griswold, when told that Miss
Smith had caustically criticised him,
exclaimed:
81 expected that she would not like
the thing to become public. OF
couse, she is mad. But how about
my feelings? She had not thought
of them when she fatty refused to
marry me, after keeping me dangling
after and adoring her ever since boy
hood She made me suffer, now let
her suffer for it,"

About the Los Angeles Aqueduct.


1t is difficult to explain to those
Injured to eastern humid conditions
the obstacles that have to be sur
mounted in order to conquer a desert
sufficiently to build across 1t great
public work of this nature. Without
water, towns, railroads, telephones,
postoffices, the country had to be
made hab'table and comfortable
enough to induce a migrating labor
ing population to remain five years
on the work of its completion. Nearly
every spring on the mountainside in
the desert portion Of the line, for 1876
miles, has been connected with a
system of main pipe lines which Is
practically continuous along the con-
duit, for the purpose Of furnishing
water for constr ction work and
domestic uses for the 1000 men en-
ployed. The aqueduct bureau has
erected upward of 500 buildings, in

l think that the most wonderful
thing in nature is the nest Of the lit
tie grebe, says a young correspondent
of Little Folks. This water bird
builds its nest of the stems of aquatic
plants closely woven together, and as
these contain great amount of air
in their many cells, and as gases are
of course set free when the plants
wi'her, the nest becomes lighter than
water. II is found floating in lonely
places where there are plenty of tall
reeds and rushes. In her little boat
the female bird, upheld on the water,
peacefully broods her young. But If
there is any sign of danger, she quick
ly dips one of her feet in the water
and, using 1t like paddle, is able to
take her nest out of harms way.
Sometimes she draws along a mass OF
water plants with the nest, thus maxi
ing the whole thing look like a small
island carried away by the
grebe, padding in the middle OF this
green mass.
