BIG CROSS COUNTRY
RUN NEXT FRIDAY

one of the most important and in
teresting athletic events on the cal
endar of the local high school is the
second annual interclass cross-country
which will be pulled off over a three
and one-half mile course on Friday
afternoon.
Although this is but the second year
of the Modified Marathon" it is very
popular and more students participate
in this sport than any other line of
athletics, Already there are twenty
six entries and there will probably be
at least thirty men who will start the
race. Last year twenty-three out of
the twenty-five starters finished the
race.
There will be bronze medal
awarded to the winner and pennants
to the next four men who cross the
tape.
The class rivalry is very keen, es-
recially between the juniors and Sc
niors. The scoring is the same as
that used by the different colleges In
cross-country running, that is, the
first man to finish receives twenty
points for his class. the second man
receives nineteen for his class and so
on down. Tho first five men Of each
class to finish win points for their
class Thus it is necessary for five
men from each class to finish in or
der to win the race.
There are several strong men in
| the race this year and it Is hard tc
pick the winner. Boylen, winner of
! last years race will be Handicapped
! thirty seconds, or two-hundred yards,
whichever he may choose. The high
est point winners Of last years race
who will run again, are A. Jordan
! Uaw, Fmnel, Carroll Sturdivant ant
Strain. Among the new men who are
showing up in good form are Nolte
Russell, Dorsey and Ferguson.
The full list Of entries of each class
the officials and the time of the star
will be given out at later date

An Attentive Ctsss,

The College Of France. founded In
Paris by Francis l., offers at the pres
ent day not only strictly academic In.
struction. but opportunities for the
higher education in general The fol-
lowing anecdote from the Colour Of
Paris shows how far the college car
ries its scrupulousness. Every scien-
tiflc subject. even the most abstruse,
will continue TO be taught there as
long as one solitary individual In all
Europe desires to pursue it. Certain
courses are followed by two or three
persons only. They tell the story Of
professor of mathematics. This pro-
fessor. who was extremely absent
minded, had lectured for whole year
to only one pupil. He was perfectly
satisfied that 1t should be so, but It
occurred to him one day that he ought
to congratulate his rare disciple, and
he accordingly did so.
Monsieur does not recognize me-"
replied the pupil. II am monsieurs

til monsieur has finished his lecture"

The Taste For Music.

Public taste in America has progress
ed In no direction more rapidly than in
music. Not only opera. but instru-
mental music of many kinds. is now
thoroughly intrenched In the public
interest An amusing contrast can be
found In letter which Bret Harte
wrote to bis wife In 1870. He had
been to see "Tannhauser," which he
deemed the most dIabolically hideous
and stupidity monotonous perform
ance" he ever heard. The orchestra to
him was like power factory at
work In the next street." The singing
was multiplication table, he claim
ed, iugubrious. ponderoas and monot-
onous. Bret Harte executed the idea
better than most of the others. Not
long ago the newspapers were full OF
Jokes about Wagner. Now he and all
other great composers are accepted
simply as great writer's or great laint-
ers, and Bret Harte, If he were alive
today. would scarcely produce the
same joke.--Collier's.

A bath of pure alcohol will remove

for this will so adslterate the alcohol

II Is really an iu.portant matter. as the
legitimacy OF II womnn's claim to the
title of lady Is often decided by the
appearance OF her hands.
And now let US see how these few

that 1t is too much trouble or Il waste

case If dirty articles are touched with

pecially for this purpose may be

three pairs should be kept In use so
that each may be washed In turn.

Giles gently with a soft towel and, last
ly, apply little cold cream. rubbing 1t
well into the skin, but make quite sure
that the cream is pure. Perfectly pure
cold cream is rather an expensive item.
but the following is an excellent recipe
that can be easily and inexpensiyely
manufactured at home: One ounce Of
white wax, one ounce of spermaceti
FIVE ounces Of almond oil and three
ounces of rosewater Melt the white
wax, spermacet and almond oil to-
gether over a gentle heat, then add the
rosewater and stir vigorously until
