Sweet Girl Graduates
By Dorothy Dix

THESE are the days when the sweet
girl graduate is packing her
trunk to return TO the bosom OF her
family in Bird Center. or Water Valley,
or Squeedunk, or wherever it was
whence she came.
She, who went forth plain Sally. is
going back Saidee. She, who departed
with her hair in pigtails down er back,
is returning with a coronet braid and
a yard of frankfurter puffs. She who
knew not, when she left home, the DIFF
ference between a suit and a gown, is
coming back clothed in a creation and
with a confectiOn upon her head. She
who went away simple and unsophis-
ticated country or village maiden is
coming back with the best coat of
veneer and polish applied to her that
money could buy at high priced
school,
II is as the return of a victorious
army with banners. and the fatted calf
has been slain, and papa and mamma,
and all the little brothers and sisters
are waiting with feverish anxiety to
welcome back the dear one, from whom
they have been separated so long.
She Returns an
Utter Stranger.
Tor Sally, alias Saidee, has been prac-
tioaHy away for four years. One vaca-
ton she spent with A schoOlmate- An
other her father scraped together the
money to give her a little trip TO Europe
with one Of the teachers who was taking
a party Of girls over for the summer.
Such an adventure, you know
But it has all taken the girl away
from her family and into an atmosphere
that is as different from her home air
as the tropics are from the Arctic re-
gions. and the result is that she returns
TO her family an utter stranger.
Her ways are not their ways, her
habits are not their HABITS; her point OF
view is not their point of view, and IN
this first meeting. after "A long absence,
It often seems 10 the parents that there
is no other person they know so little
as they do their own daughter. and 10
the girl that there is no one with whom
she has so little in common as with her
own father and mother.
1t is one Of those domestic crisis that
call for nice handling and subtle diplo-
macy, and, alas, diplomacy IS a despiSed
virtue in the family circle Hence the
disappointment, and the heartbreak that
comes 70 so many parents who are
brought face to face with the fact when
Sally comes home, that the result of all
their sacrifice to give her an education
better than they had, has only been 10
separate her from them, and that she
has returned to them not 10 te a SOy,
and, comfort, and pride, as they fondly
hoped, but TO be a critic on the hearth
stone.
Therefore. TO the sweet girl gradu-
ate who is returning home. I want to
give this little piece of advice.
BE AS MERCIFUL TO YOUR PAR

Be Proud Of
Your Parents, Girls.
Reflect, however. that there must be
something in a man or woman who
began life with no capital except
nerve and heart and brain. and who
have worked their way up 10 being
the leading citizens of Bird Center,
or Water Valley. or Squeedunk.
1t takes intelligence and courage
and steadfastness to do that. Not for

Church. and your mother president OF
the Ladies Aid Society and beside
the smatteriug OF canned and desic-
Gated book knowledge that they have
gained from lie makes your educa-
ton a very amateurish thing, indeed.
Therefore, girls, when you go home,
try TO get a real line on your parents
and be proud of them instead of
ashamed Of them, because they don't
possess your particular brand OF cul
turine.
And when you go home, girls. don't
feel that you have a heaven-appointed
mission 20 reform your parents and alter
all of their ways Of life. Just try to re-

Seeks Proof of
Signal Tipping,

Chicago. July 24-Five hundred dol
lars reward is offered by the American
League for evidence tending to show
that any player or club in the league
is using or countenancing the tipping
of signals Of an opposing team. Any
player involved will be blacklisted from
organized baseball for all time to come.
This bit of information. in addition
to the fact that Jack Sheridan may
become manager of umpires in the
American League or given some other
exalted position. was handed out by
President p. r. Johnson on his return
to Chicago from the East yesterday.
Il made a thorough investigation
while in the East in regard to the
alleged tipping bureau of the New
York American Club" said President
Johnson. but / could not discover
scintilla Of evidence to support the talk
that was started some time ago Meth
or could I find out that Pitcher Ed
Walsh of the Chicago American League
Club had ever said he believed there
was such a system of signals en-
ployed.
The fact of the matter is that the
New York players have been batting
just as strongly when away from home
as on their own grounds, and this in
itself should disprove the charges"

SHEA OUTPOlNTS STEWART.
A Lively Boxing Exhibition Saturday
Evening at Bangor.

Bangor, Me, July 24-(SpeciaD.- kid
Shea of Hallowell had the best OF
Johnnie Stewart in a six-roun9 box
ing exhibition in the Gaiety Saturday
evening in the presence of big crowd
Stewart was eamey and put up
splendid fight, but the skill and expert
ence of Shea was too much to over
come. Stewart started the ball in the
first round and went at his opponent
hammer and tongs. having the best of
this round, but after that Shea's work
was the most effective. Stewart was
severely punished in the fourth, fifth
and sixth rounds. though he kept on to
the end ike a gamey lad. Both of the
boys bear visible evidence of the
strenuousness of the bout
The prelminares were part tame and
part good. Kid Alherts of Augusta put
up a good fight against Johnnie Glover
of Boston. though going against great
odds. Glover is considered one of the
cleverest in his class and Alberts was
warmly applauded for his good show
ing in an uphill battle.
The crowd was large one and while
very naturally largely favored Stewart
was very fair in its treatment of Shea.

WORLD OF SPORTS
Boxing sip

A telegram announcing the loss o.
a 1000 bet that Jim Jeffries would
win the prize fight with Jack Johnson
was the reason why Harry Michaels.
secretary of the Michaels Furniture
Co., shot himself dead at his desk while
his brother, 4 New Yorker, awaited
him at a Chicago hotel. Ill health was
the cause assigned at the time. Pub
licity as TO the real reason for the deed
came through proceedings by creditors.
Canadian sportsmen believe that the
unknown who has been picked by Hugh
D. Mcintosh and Jim Corbett to wrest
the heavyweight title from Jack John
son is Captain Leopold MacLaglen, the
American jiu iitsu champion. Mac
laglen is a close friend of DR.. Roller.
the wrestler. who helped train Jeffries.
and has wrestled in the United States
and Canada. His friends say he is a
better boxer than mat worker. Two
years ago, when working in the Can
adian Pacific freight sheds at Port Ar
thur. he weighed 1873 pounds. Much of
his time of late years has been spent in
the Northwest, and he is understood
to be now in Portland or Seattle. He
was born in County Cork. Ireland, SO
years ago. and is six feet two inches
tall. He has vanquished several Jap
anese wrestlers and jiu jitsu experts.

Pittsburg, July 24.-Eleven-year-
old Lorrie Long, a white messenger
boy in the employ of the Park Steel
Works. died Saturday night in fright
full agony as an aftermath of the John
son -Jeffries battle.
The fight caused a feud between the
Negro and white boys in the works.
This morning three of the Negro
moulders caught young Long asleep.
They all are much older than their
victim. They procured a white hot
billet of steel and dropped it down the
back of the sleeping boy.
Then they held him until employees
of the shops got the odor of burning
flesh and drove the Negroes from their
victim The torturers fled. but were
captured few hours later. They are
being held to await the cOroner's in
quest. Coroner Jamison. if conditions
justify and he can prove the act was
done maliciously as result of the
feud, will hold the Negroes for murder
The Park Steel officials announced
Saturday night that they would dis
charge every Negro in their employ.

fight the Negroes have been practical
