VICE PRESIDENT DISAPPOINTED.
Virginia County Offcials Refused to
Break Rules for Him.

Washington, Aug. 2.-The will of
George Washington is not exhibited
on Sunday even though the vice presi-
dent of the United States requests it.
The story runs that Vice President
Sherman, an ardent motorist, accom-
panied by friends, took a spin last
Sunday in Virginia. Reaching Fairfax
court house, they decided they would
like to see the original will drawn by
the first president.
The party was directed first to the
home of the deputy clerk of the coun-
ty. The deputy expressed regret but
quite positively informed the vice
president that the rules forbade the
court house. where the document is
kept in a glass case, being opened on
Sunday. Finding the official obdurate,
the party repaired to the home of his
chief, some distance away. The clerk,
however. was as strongly rule bound
as his deputy and the vice president
and his friends left for Washington
with their curiosity unsatisfied.

There is a very dear old lady in our

sometimes had the pleasure and hon

She told me about her rheumatism

speculation. And 1, for my part, told
her some of the news of the outside

Yale Football Captain Wants New
Haven Riddles Solid With Books

New Haven, Conn, Aug. 2.-To slim
ulate scholarship in the publis schools
of New Haven, the Yale Football as
sociation has decided to offer free
passes to the seasons football games
to the students who stand highest in the
grammar and high school grades. The
idea was conceived by Captain Howe of
the Yale eleven, who ID one of the best
scholars of the senior class at Yale.
CAPTAIN Howe believes that cit is
needless to try to stimulate interest in
football but highly desirable to
strengthen interest in scholarship, and
no easier means to do it seems avail
able than through football The New
Haven board of education last winter
deliberated fer several months mo-
ton to abolish football but finally de-
cided to let it remain for the present.
