for the ordinary voter as well as the
politician. And here is another one:
Many man could establish a
good character in court but when it
comes to taking any risk in a politi-
cal fight" that is something else.
Wherefore, it is wise man who
stops to consider whether he would
rather cling to his reputation or pre-
fer to take chances on gratifying his
ambition. ..-.
This reminds me that 7 have read
some of the reports of our own State
campaign now making a tour of the
State. 1t is not a good thing to make
charges against an opponent unless
you have the goods to sustain your
charges. Otherwise they will act as
a boomerang. 1t is very easy to
make charges but another thing to
sustain them. I believe the rules of
the party, State and county, should
provide that any candidate who
dealt in personal attacks on his op-
ponent should be ruled out Of the

his positions on the issues but do not
deal in personalities.

my suggestion and swept the side

have not. been able to get out any

therefore do not know of my own

whether you act on it or not. Sweep

The following is word from Br'er
Williams as given by Frank Stanton
in the Atlanta Constitution. Read it
and see if you can appreciate the
moral it contains:

1t is a good thing to be rich for

is commendable to be diligent in
business, but do not place too much
confidence in riches. It is not the
only thing. Be honest, be true, be
just and fair in all your dealings and
in your speech.
Talking about speech, there is a

He tried to find natural explanation for

the doorway, gazing at the empty taoie
and recalling the dinner hour. Jean Mer-

had fallen like a benediction on her head:
her grave voice still sounded in his ears,
her questioning eyes still spoke to him

Then he struck his hands together and
went to the back hall. whose windows
looked toward the garage. The lights
were burning on the second moor, and
passing out through the kitchen he ran
across the snowy court and up the rough
stairway to Joe's room.
Joe lay sprawled on his narrow iron bed
with his face to the wall. The room was
lighted by a single electric lamp that
hung from the low ceiling. He sat UP
and rubbed his eyes as Wayne spoke 70

The game at Cambridge. however, comes
two days afterward, one day after COM
management, and Murfey will be in the
box for Yale In this contest. He and
Tommers are the only first class pitchers

The fact that the first two games are
only two days apart makes IL impossible
for one pitcher TO officiate in both. Muir
feys reinstatement will make him avail
bic for the second match of the series
and this Interpretation of the eligibility
rule doubles Yales chances of winning
the series with the Crimson. Murfey is a
spitDaIl pitcher of remarkable effective
ness, especially for five or six innings
and II is planned to use him and Tom
mers together in the last two games OF
the Harvard series if three are necessary
Murfey Will not receive his diploma
when his class is graduated in June. hut

DOG LOSES HIS NAME
IN RACING ERIE TRAIN
Wheels Cut Off the "Spot" Which
Had Earned Puppy His
Cognomen.

NEW YORK, June 13.-Chester Taylor
son of the station agent OF the Erie rail
road at Cedar Grove, N. j.. has a fo1
terrier called Spot. The name came from
q lone spot at the end Of the dogs tail
Taylor made a little house for Spot. with
knot hole In its front door, commanding
pleasant prospect of the Erie tracks
And Spot, gazing through the knot hole
at the Erie engines. observed:
Pooh! I can go faster than that"'
When old enough to roam about a bi,
Spot went down to the track and took
short practice runs In preparation for a
trial of speed against the Erie. Yester-
day the dog decided that the time had
come. Starting close to an express, Spot
dashed along beside It. For some yards
1t was a close race. Then Spot, in ex-
element. got so close that the wheel OF
car shipped of the end of the dog s
tail, including the spot.
Besides curing the terrier Of his anti
Erie ambitions, the accident Is causing
much agitation In Cedar Grove. Some
villagers maintain that Spot no longer
deserves the name, seeing that the train
removed the spot. Others maintain that
once dog Is named 1t Is always named.
And there you are.

NEW YORK. June 13.-With three
championships and an invitation tourna-
ment. all carded for practically the same
day, this week will easily be the busiest
of the season for the golfers in this part
of the country. Most important, OF
course. is the national open. to be held
over the links of the Philadelphia Cricket
Club Friday and Saturday. This affair
will even assume an International flavor,
for the reason that George S. Lyon, sew

BEST RIDERS WANTED.
Greater Care Desired in Picking Men
for Fort Riley Cavalry School.

The War Department has sent orders to
commanding officers of cavalry regiments
to exercise greater care in the selection
of members of the regiments to take q
course Of instruction at the mounted
service school at Fort Riley, Kansas.
Every effort has been made In recent
years to have an advanced course in
equitation established at that institution.
1t is not considered that the instruction
there need any longer be rudimentary or
for the benefit of beginners in horseman-
ship. 1t is desired to turn out graduates
who will be able to return to their regi-
nents and act as instructors in the regi-
mental riding schools. To that end it is
designed to send to the Fort Riley school
only the best riders in the regiments.
1t is hoped by the military authorities to
improve the system of Workmanship in
the army. 1t is considered that with the
system of obtaining better horses which
prevails by virtue OF the army remount
depots there may easily be an improve
ment in military riding.

TRIUMPH FOR MOSQUITO

about "Oh, for a pasture new" and

Now, Gordon had had all he could do
to manage that skittish steed before

squatter off his nasal territory. But
he restrained his hand, for in that in

And there was George in a dilemma

knock that mosquito off his nose he'd
lose his life blood, but if he took a
hand from the reins to deliver that
knockout swing away would go his bad
tempered horse.
Gordon shook his head violently and
blew his breath toward the mosquito
to dislodge it, but all to no purpose. The
insect held on and just bored and bored
and bored. Gordon gritted his teeth anu
remembered the story he had read in
school about the Spartan. But what was
a mere fox gnawing at a boys vitals to
a real, war-siZe Jersey mosquito sinking

George could stand it no longer. Up
went one hand in savage sweep. 1t
missed the mosquito Forgetting all ex-
cept his desire for vengeance, George
swung with the other hand.

And as the skeeter buzzed 'Ha, ha!'
the horse, freed from control, bolted.

blew the mosquito off Gordon's nose.
