Once upon time there lived in lara.
way land, wee little lad. Nobody SEEM
ed to know who he was; where he came
from; or how he got there. Some said he
came on Puff Of wind. This is rather
funny way to get there, but you see, he
might have como on an aeroplane (eSit
Mr. Stork). This wasn't one OF our
everyday little boys: Oh, no indeed!
This kid was wonder! He wouldn't eat

Persia Defiant.

London, Oct. 25.-It is credibly re-
ported here today that the Persian
minister has handed to the foreign
office a defiant reply to the expressed
attitude of England regarding her policy
in Persia, which, it is believed, means
ultimate partition OF that country be-
tween England and Russia. 1T is in
ferred that the Persian minister has
been advised of support from Germany
in the event Of crisis arising in Per-
sian affairs. With charistic cagerness
the 'jingoes" are again talking OF
anglo-German hostilties as the newt
able outcome of the dispute.

performing animals we're at their best
and delig ted all present with difficult
feats. But this is not all, as the work OF
Miss Elizabeth Harold, the water
color artist, was highly enjoyed. Jack

CARDINALS VS.. E. q. S.

Tomorrow afternoon the Cardinal
Athletic Clubs football team will
journey to the Episcopal High School
for their annual battle with the school
boy eleven. The locals will probably
outweigh their opponents by small
margin, but they expect the hardest
kind of a struggle. The High School
teams are always in the best possible
condition, besides receiving the benefit
OF excellent coaching. Intense rivalry
exists between the locals and the hill
men, and the game starting at 4
o'clock tomorrow will be worth going
miles to see. The Cardinals will
probably start the game with the fol
lowing lineup, with Pitts, F. Cockrell,
Ale and Hammersley in reserve: L. E,
Sullivan; T.. T, Douglas; L. G, Dienelt;
&c, Hamilton; R. G., Beaham; r. T.

BATTLESHIP DELAWARE
GETS GUNNERY RECORD
Former Holder of Atlantic Fleet
Trophy in Third Place

WASHINGTON. Oct 3O.-One of Uncle
Sans newest dreadnoughts, the Della
ware led the 16 battleships of the
Atlantic fleet in gunnery efficiency dur
ing the annual battle practice off the
Virginia coast last September.
The trophy winner last year, the
Vermont, is third in the standing. The
Delaware's sister ship. the North Da-
kota, finished sixth, which is consid-
cred by naval officials as a splendid
record, for ship which had met with
serious accident just prior to the
practice.
The 16 ships in the fleet rank in the
following order:
Delaware, Minnesota. Vermont, Idaho.
Nebraska, North Dakota New Hamp-
shire. South Carolina. Rhode Island,
Louisiana, Virginia, Mississippi, Con-
necticut, Kansas, Georgia and Michi-
gan.
The armored cruisers are yet to fire
under the new rules and have chance
to win the trophy.
Lieutenant Commander L. NJ. Over
street seems entitled to the palm
among the personnel of the fleet. He
was ordnance officer on the Delaware
during the recent practice and served
in similar capacity on the Vermont
when it won the trophy last year.
