three men at Harvard who have the
right to wear the H in two major
sports. one of the other two being Paul
Wilmington. who is considered the best
all-around athlete in the university.

crew. His brother, Lothr0p, roWed as
number five of the varsity eight. Paul
also played two years on the Harvard
varsity football team, first as guard
and then as center. LOthrop IS captain
of the football team this year.
Paul Wilmington took a little interest
in the Healani oarsmen just before Re
gatta Day, and if he had taken hold
of them sooner he might have made
winners out of them. The Healanls
were greatly disappointed to hear yes
ter,lav that Wilmington was going
away.

PRINTERS DARING JEST
Stra uss' "Reminiscences.

From Strauss "Reminiscences.
 One morning there appeared in the Constitutionnel the following startling paragraphs:
 His majesty the king received M. Thiers yesterday at the Tulleries, and charged him with the formation of a new cabinet The distinguished states man hastened to reply to the king:
 CT have only one regret, which is that I cannot wiring your neck like a turkeys.
 A few lines lower down there was another paragraph running to the fol- lowing effect:
 'The efforts of justice have been promptly crowned with. success. The murderer Of the Rue du Pot-de- Fer has been arrested in a house of bad reputa- tion. Led at once before the judge of instruction, the wretch had the hardi- hood to address the magistrate in terms of coarse insult, winding up with the following words, which amply show that there remains not 8 spark of con- science or right feeling in this har- dened soul:
 "'God and man are my witnesses that I have never had any other ambition than to serve your august person and my country Loyalty to the best of m, ability"
 The printer had just cleverly man aged to interchange the two addresses The cream of the joke was that it was universally known how very little love there was lost between the king ant the minister.

MT. Clark and CannonIsm

Because Congressman Champ Clark, who has arrived in Washington, will not demand a committee on committees the standpat organs are shrieking that Can nonism is to be maintained. Just as MT. Crisp adopted the Reed rules so, they say. MT. Clark will adopt the Cannon rules.
 As matter of fact Mir. Clark has not taken any position that justifies the comment of the standpat papers. 'I have not been commissioned" says MT Clark, "to arrange any programme for the democratic party, and I am not go- ir.g to try to do it. In the very nature of things the democrats of the House and Senate will have to get together to consult about what they want to do. and should do when the new Congress or ganizes."
 To another reporter he talked even more specifically Tt will be-" he said a democratic House. The democratic party is responsible and the House will make it's own rules" He was asked what stand the democrats would take if the insurgents proposed to take the power of appointing committees from the speaker. That will have to be de- ci6ed," he said, fin caucus or in confer ence I cannot decide it for the demo- cratic side and will not attempt to do so. That will be taken up when the time comes"
 | The attempt to commit MT. Clark to Cannonism has no foundation whatever. He has said nothing to indicate that he has changed his opinion on the rules of the House since he voted for the Norris resolution of last March, provid- | ing for the naming of a committee on committees. He simply declines to be dictator, that's all.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Effect of Continued Agitation


 "The homely saying that if you give man enough rope he will hang him self is true in it's application to great many conditions as well as in dividuals,'. said a prominent business man of Birmingham in discussing. the present situation regarding prohibi- tion and it's enforcement.
 "In the first place l am heartily sick of the continued agitation of this mat ter, which unquestionably has de- pressing effect on business and what affects mercantile trade vitally affects the property interests of our city. l am unalterably opposed to the intro dHction of outside influences in the government of our own municipal af- fairs. No fair minded man can say that Mayor Exum is not doing all in his power to suppress the illegal sale Of liquor, and yet 1t is published now to the world that our officials are in competent to enforce law and maintain order.
 Many ardent prohibitionists will ad- init that the attempt to pass the con- stitutional amendment was i'll ad- 'AROds anu tndl IL StL OdOh SiAS NeaSS of prohibition to a marked degree. It also, in my opinion, defeated for gov ernor one of the best and truest men the state has ever produced, Col. H. S. D. Mallory, whom I earnestly sup ported. Such drastic measures as gov ernment by injunction should, as I take 1t, only be used In extraordinary cases, and in view of the decided stand taken by our mayor and other officials the action taken by state officers in caus- ing th& issuance of injunctions at this time, Is, to my mind, unnecessary and uncalled for. Drastic measures have ever proved temporary, and often act as boomerang, defeating the very object for which they were put in op- eration. When the attempt was made to force the constitutional amendment on the people 1t caused a meeting of patriotic citizens at Montgomery, who saved the state from fanaticism. That big majority against the amendment showed how the people felt on the statewide, drastic enactments of the legislature. The reaction was inevit- able"

NAH. ORDER APPLIES

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
 At first thought one would hardly be- lieve it possible to transact a successful mail order business in selling apples. Out in the state of Washington, how ever, there is an enterprising young wom- an who is making money on that identi- cal plan.
 The young woman is recently out or high school. She owns no orcharo' though she hopes to own one some day and is in fair way of realizing on the rope. She began business by arranging for the purchase of a supply of apples Then she placed a small display aoVer- tisement in a number of Pacihc coas. newspapers. The advertisement contained the outline of an apple and inforineo newspaper readers that three or the largest red apples produced in the state of Washington would be sent any"nere' postpaid, for 25 cents. In the meantime she had prepared neat packages maoe ol corrugated paper wherein to pack the apples for mailing. The postage on the apples was only 5 cents, so there was a good margin for profits.
 The orders came in such numbers that the advertising was extended to Sunday newspapers in the middle states and the patronage has increased to such an eH- tent that the enterprising apple deaier has been compelled to employ assistants She sees big possibilities ahead for the mail order business which she started as an experiment few months ago. She had no idea at the beginning that so many people would be interested in Wash- ington's fruit product, but all the world icves a big red apple and is willing to pay a good price for it.
 It is very simple business, put IL shows that the young woman has loeas and good judgment. She realizes the value of advertising and she knows now to prepare an attractive advertisement. She will get rich In a few seasons II the Washington apple crop doesn't Tall entirely. If the apple crop ever does fail she will be sufficiently resourcefui to get along Nobody need worry about the future of this young woman of North Yakima

Natural Gas In the Birmingham District

The addition of natural gas to the re- sources of this district is not perhaps fully appreciated by many people. The value of the addition is, however, very great both for manufacturing and domes- tic purposes. Cheap and abundant as coal is here yet natural gas is a cheaper fuel and it is one that is far more readily manipulated and brought to use than. any other known fuel. It is not too much to say that natural gas will double our lesser manufacturing plants inside of five years Wherever there is an abund- ance of natural gas it readily displaces other fuel, and so it will be here. always provided the supply is ample.
 This is why the settlement of the trou- b1es in the Providence Oil and Gas com pany is of district or public importance. All interests in that company have came together and the promise is made that steps will be taken at once to pipe natural gas to Birmingham. Tuscaloosa and Col umbus, Miss.
 The hope is that the Providence com pany will encounter no more internal troubles, and that it will be placed on a footing that will enable it to serve of its great volume of natural gas. As soon as the gas Is brought within the reach of all all will speedily appreciate its value and the entire district will feel . new impulse derived from a new nat ural resource

THE CRAZE TO AvIATE

From the New York Evening Post.
 Said the woman whose fashionably coiffed white hair was framed in howl shaped background of violet vel vet. as she glued her eyes to a pair of field glasses and watched half dozen aeroplanes swing around the course at the Belmont Park track, No body could ever have made me believe it of myself, had they declared it a week ago, but I'm wild to go up in one of those machines. Biplane or mono plane. it's all the same to me. I'll never be satisfied till I've tried fly paddock coat with rumpled tails laughed long and loud. That sounds well, but I'd like to see your nerve put to the test" scoffed he.
 Get me an invitation then," she said, Tor buy me one, and watch me jump at the chance. I've been green with envy over every woman whom luck has favored thus far.'
 And she spoke the truth. She would go. Not because she is more coura- geous than most, but because an after noon at the aviation meet leaves the feminine spectator either thrilled to a point of wild enthusiasm for this new est and most hair-raising of sports, the enthusiasm that demands share in its exalted moments, or stirred with the wonder that means awed fear and foreboding of disaster. No woman goes away pleasantly but neutrally divert ed Chatting excitedly and in jerky ex- clamations, or silent with the marvel of it all, she steps into the waiting automobile. or hurries to the special train, regretful that the evening shad- ows have put an end to the bird-like maneuvers.
 Best wait. my dear, said the Tweed Paddock Coat tc the Violet Velvet Toque. "till the things are more near ly perfect and flying Is safer game" x "Yes. and exit from the scene with out knowing the feel of it." was the answer, while a gloved hand patteo white puffs significantly.

Armour gives no reasons for predicting a
 fall in prices. He probably had none that would look well on paper. The pack CTS that control under our false and arti- ncial system food prices are now manip- ulating prices downward, just as they had previously manipulated them upward.
 The senile Secretary of Agriculture at- tributes the change to the price of hay. This is ridiculous. MT. Armour must have snickered when he read Secretary Wilson's explanation. The aged secretary does, however. less injury to the public when he is explaining the course of the market than he does when he Is emascu- lating the pure food law in order to serve canners and others campaign-sub- scribing manufacturers.

VICTOR HUGO'S KINDNESS

From Sarah Bernhardts Recollections.
 One day when the rehearsal was over an hour earlier than usual, was wait ing, my forehead pressed against the window pane, for the arrival of Mime. Guerard, who was coming to fetch me. was gazing idly at the opposite foot rath, which is bounded by the Luxem- bourg railings. Victor Hugo had just crossed the road and was about to walk tion. She had just put a heavy bundle of linen on the ground and was wiping her forehead, on which were great beads of precipitation.
 In spite of the cold, her toothless mouth was half open, as she was pant ing, and her eyes had an expression of distressing anxiety. as she looked at the wide road she had to cross, with car riages and omnibuses rassing each other. Victor Hugo approached her, and after a short conversation, he drew piece of money from his pocket, handed 1t to her, then taking off his hat he confided it to her and, with a quick movement and a laughing face, lifted the bundle to his shoulder and crossed the road, followed by the bewildered woman. l rushed downstairs to embrace him for 1t, but by the time I had reached the passage, jostled against De Chilly, who wanted to stop me, and descended the staircase, Victor Hugo had disappeared. I could see only the woman's back, but il seemed to me that she hobbled along now more briskly.
 The next day I told the poet that had witnessed his delicate, good deed "Oh." said Paul Maurice, his eyes wei with emotion, "every day that dawns is a day of kindness for him." I embraced Victor Hugo and we went to the re- hearsal.

 Twelfth Night.
VIaduct Building By Law

The city gives the railroads choice be- tween viaduct building by law and by agreement perfected by or before Decem- Der z. This choice is all the railroacs could reasonably expect after the city had experienced their policy of delay and had become thoroughly tired over it.
 The action of the City Council will bring the viaduct matter to a definite course, even if the courts and their al- most endless appeals are resorted to by the railroads. After using the streets of this city almost lifetime, largely without the employment of flagmen, it would be most unkind on the part of the rail- roads to devise delays m the courts. If they do this it will indeed look as if they never intended to build viaduct in this city.
 eTho action of the council will be upheld by every good citizen. The dignity of the city demanded it, and the entire mat ter is now put in the course of settle ment Whether that course shall be long or short will be determined by the rail- roads that are daily endangering the lives of citizens on unlawful grade cross

The Iron Market

The local iron market Is reported firmer in tone but the buying has not been sufficiently brisk toN advance prices. Rogers, Brown & Co.'S Cincin- natl weekly report, just received. says:
 Local conditions since the election are showing up better. There is some thing of the old-t time optimism ex- pressed by good many customers, which, while not being greatly in evil dence, is worth while. There is fair buying in small lots, prices are some what firmer. and the apparent activity on the part of the railroads has had an encouraging effect.
 Several furnaces in the north and east are refusing to take on any more iron at the prices which have been going for nearby or early 1911 deliv- cry, and there is less range between seller and buyer than there has been.
 "The effect of the election on the trade is felt to be slight, but of a sat- isfactory nature. Current conditions are considered sound and with an ad- vancing tendency, which promises well for the next few months. There is lit tie doubt but that with the business that Is being done, condition of furnace order books and current prices. the market is on the turn.
