SAYINGS OF MAI. HANDSPRING

Billboards may be sometimes suggestive,
but board bill is the real thing.
1t will always be my belief that polyg-
amy legalized is better business than
polygamy not legalized.
Some wise old guy has remarked that
I'm this world man must be either a ham
mer or an anvil.'' But how about the bel
lows and the hot air?
/ often wonder why people become so en-
thusiastic over giving money when they
see for fact that their names are to ap-
pear in the papers.
l sometimes think that reformers need
reforming because they become so intern
perate and so Jealous that they are incon-
sistent and do more harm than good.
The politician who announces himself for
office, who feels that he has been called
to play the Moses act certainly has beau
tiful nervous system. He has all the nerve
you are looking for
When we used to wear hand -me-down
breeches the first thing to do was to have
the crease ironed out All of which shows
what fools these mortals be-
If a man could only get it through his
cocoanut that his little span here is so
short that, no matter what he does, 1t
amounts to but little, perhaps he would
finally cease chasing dollars and do some
thing to make the world better.
The women allow fashion to mako de-
fmands on them that men will not stand
for, and yet in ninety cases out of a hun
dred the men pay the bills. Men make the
fashion so that two suits Of clothes with
a shroud spiked-tail for a function will

Foot Ball Rules
Are Framed Up
For Fall Games
Regulations Completed, with For.
ward Pass Unrestricted, and
Committee Adjourns.

NEW YORK, May H-The intercollegiate
foot ball rules committee yesterday decided
to retain the forward pass unrestricted. The
committee framed a number OF rules de-
signed to throw safeguards around this and
other plays and adjourned sine die, having
completed the task OF reforming" foot ball,
which has kept 1t busy much of the time
since the first of last February.
The details Of the new game was left
In the hands OF a subcommittee composed
Of Walter Camp of Yale, DR.. Carl Williams
Of the University of Pennsylvania and
Percy ID. Haughton of Harvard, but as the
new regulations are largely theoretical 1t
is admitted that the precise results will
not be known until the season of 1910 Is
well under way.
Having weakened the offense by the new
rules previously adopted, some method had
to be invented to strengthen the offense
as an offset and so great effort was ex-
pended to form a plan fer retaining the
forward pass. Without 1t, under new re-
strictions, scoring would be SO difficult that
the game would be almost destroyed.
Under the rules adopted today the player
making the pass must be a. least five
yards behind the scrimmage line when the
pass is made and the player receiving the
ball must not be more than twenty yards
In advance Of the place where the ball was
passed Only the end men of the line of
scrimmage and the four men in the back
field are eligible 10 receive the forward
pass, and the backs in order to be eligible
must be at least one yard behind the line
Of scrirhmage when the ball is put in play,
The committee adopted a rule which
reads; In case a player with the ball
crawls after the ball is declared dead his
team shall be penaliEed five yards"
The committee adopted a provision that
any player withdrawn from the game for
any cause except disqualification may re-
turn once at the beginning of any subse-
quent quarter. This is to allow a tired
player to reeuperate and to remove the
temptation to keep players in the game
when they are not in fit condition.

some OF his speeding along the park boule-
ward behind Little Dick, a local PAGER,
loaned to him by one of his friends.
The idea came to the fighter when one
of the newspaper photographers saw the
rig I'm front OF the training quarters and
suggested he would like a picture or so.
Johnson agreed to the picture idea and
after all was over remarked that he would
like to take a turn up the road.
The routine of tweve-mile grind along
the roads in the forenoon may be paling
on Johnson, as he has changed his route.
This morning he took Barney Furey with
him over an entirely new course and one
in which there are far more hills than in
the old course
For one thing, l wanted a change" said
johnson, in explaining the new program,
"and Tor another, l wanted to test my
wind thoroughly. The hills gave me that
chance and now ] am sure of my cond-
ton My wind was the one thing L had an
idea might need nursing, but l came back
to the quarters without blowing in the
least"
About the noon hour Johnson took a nap
and in the afternoon played ball for the
edifcation of the crowd gathered to see
him work.

Four O'Clock Agreement.
The senate proceeded today under unan-
imous consent agreement reached yesterday
to begin at o'clock upon the long and
short haul amendments, of which a dozen
or more had been submitted. The pending
amendment was one by Senator Hepburn OF
Idaho for which Senator Dixon of Montana
had made a substitute. The effect of this
was to give the Montana senator possess
sion of the floor when o'clock arrived.
For several day the regular" republi-
cans had boosted that they had a clear
majority to defeat all of the long and short
haul amendments.
The regulars had been assured of a num-
Der of democratic votes. Just before 4
o clock 1t came to the knowledge of Sena-
tors Aldrich and Elkins, that while the
democrats on their list would vote against
the Dixon amendment they purposed later
to support an amendment introduced by
Senator Overman of North Carolina, the
effect of which would be to place all rates
on a mileage basis. Such provision would
be obnoxious to the opponents of long
and short haul provision and they were
unable in a party poll to show majority
against the Overman amendment.
Senators Carter Of Montana and Smoot
Of Utah, supporters of a long and short
haul provision. received overtures from the
regular" republicans who offered a COM
promise in the form of a portion of the
original Dixon amendment and a proviso
taken from an amendment offered by Sem
ator Paynter
SmOOt Handles Compromise.
Picturing the political effect of humill-
ating defeat through the adoption OF an
exclusive democratic amendment that
would put the whole question on a mileage
basis the regular" republicans encountered
little difficulty in bringing a large major
fly of the senate to their way of thinking.
The compromise. which finally was ad-
opted was put in the hands OF Senator
Smoot, and in turn he presented IL to
Senator Dixon, who offered II as a modifl-
cation OF his own amendment Just before
o'clock
Through the clumsy handling of scissors
and paste brush the composite compromise
was sent to the clerks desk in a form far
different from that intended by the auth
ors. AS the clerk began TO read, Senator
Aldrich hurried TO the desk Of Senator
Dixon and a whispered conversation ensued
MI Dixon elamored for recognition.
Il move that the senate recess" he
shouted, until O'clock"
He appeared greatly excited. The demand
for recess WAS met with cries OF no"
mo-" but on a vote large majority sus-
tanned the demand.
Then followed a scene OF great confusion
such as rarely takes place in the senate.
Some declare it to have been unprecedented
in recent years. Obviously, few people
realized what the move meant. on every
side there were cries that the unanimous
consent agreement had been violated. Evil
