'.The Mystery Of Rowing. :,

Walter Camps article on the "Myst-
cry of Rowing" in the July Century,
will appear just at the time when the
thoughts of the public are turned ON
the university boat races. Mr.. Camp
writes Interestingly of the fact that
rowing, which CLOCKS so simple and
easy" should continually thwart the
theorists, and of what it means to a
man to represent his university in the
boat. Two full-page drawings by
Schoonover accompany the article.

Naturally Mr.. Taft would like all the

adopt resolutions commencing his ad-

will work to this end. But after the

In view of what has been accom-

HARD TO PLEASE: A FABLE.

A heron stood one day by the riv-
er's edge, as still and silent as though
made of stone. With his coiled neck
and piercing, bright eye he waited for
the unwary fish to come within reach
of his beak, which was a perfect fish,
spear. The prospects of bounteous
day were unusually promising. Soon
he espied perch playing around him
within easy reach The heron be-
came choicely at once and said to
himself: ut does not suit my pleas
ure to begin my meal now; the perch
can wait until it suits me to snap him
up" The perch finally swan away,
and after a while plump carp glided
around the heron's feet, who stiffened
bit more proudly and scarcely took
notice of this large, delicious morsel.
81 am not ready, and the carp must
await my good and leisure time like
the perch" decided the heron.
Then bright, fat, speckled trout
showed his shiny sides around the
heron, finally laying at rest at the
heron's feet. "You must await my
pleasure like the Others" declared
the heron, and he spurned the trout,
with his foot kicking him out of the
water with a great splash.
At last the heron decided that he
was now hungry and it would please
him to begin his banquet at once, but
never a fish came near him that day,
not even a minnow, and all he could
find was a small, Shiny snail.

THE LITTLE TREE.

In the middle of the wood stood a
great pine tree, with baby pine at
its foot. The mother pine was so tall
that she could look over the heads
of all the other trees, but the little
one was not larger than the ferns and
yellow violets that grew around it.

the old tree.

little tree once that was not care
full to stand straight, and so all its
life it bent to one side. One night
there came a great wind, and the
crooked tree went down with dread
full crash; and it carried with it an
owls nest that was built in its top,
and broke all the eggs. Just think
of that! Now, If you will do as
say, you will grow up tall, straight
pine, and the jolly little sunbeams
will call on you first in the morning
and stay with you longest at night"
IT will try my best, mamma" said
the good little tree, and it drew itself
up. Now it happened to be Arbor
