have been criticised for encouraging
elementary schoolboys bCtween the ages OF
ten and thirteen to train. Now the an
swer to that is: The hundreds OF men III
the United States who have followed ath-
letics know that the boy between the ages
Of ten and thirteen, or thereabouts' should
not be trained as the expert is trained. IL
you do, YOU are going to ruin the boys
constitution. The boy In the elementary
school, Sunday school or parochal school
must never be trained as such athletes as
Shepard, Sheridan and others are trained,
because his little body will not stand the
strain. In all OF my talks to those inter
ested in the elementary schools l have
made this statement: Don't allow your
boy to train, as the term Is understood.
Don't allow him to physc. reduce weight,
diet or take strenuous exercise"
We have organized athletics and made
rules for competition in athletics for the
boy. We offer him some little prize as
token Of his prowess TO interest him In
organized play. The boys in school who
are competing to-day in 50-yard dashes,
4O-yard dashes. standing jumps and chin
ming" themselves are merely doing it in
play fashion, just the way the boy runs in
the street or on the road, because the boy
who is healthy will run from the moment
he goes out in the morning until the sun
sets.

w THY are athletics popular? That Is
M an often asked question. and 1t has
w been answered in a general way.
OF course what is meant is amateur
athletics.
The history Of amateur athletics clearly
shows that athletics has never been fad.
II has never had an artificial boom. The
athletic situation to-day which really is
the most important situation in our great
nation, has been OF steady growth and de-
velopment for more than forty years. until
to-day there is not an educational institu-
ton In the United States. hardly church
and few civic organizations that do not
appreciate the Importance OF athletics. To
the nation at large we have proved con-
clusively that America has produced. and
10 producing. the best type Of man. from
an athletic standpoint.
In international athletic contests in track
and field in the year 1895. in the old Man
haitian Field the team of the United States
won all the events England not scoring a
victory. This was followed with the sue
cess at Athens, in 1896; Paris, in 1900; st.
Louis, in 1904 and London. IN 1908. In all
came to the athletic portion of the games,
America won the bulk of prizes and made
records galore. The record books. how
ever, tell the story much palmer than i
could give It. so far as our superiority and
remarkable growth are concerned.
OF course. the growth Of competitive
athletics merely proves again the state
ments that have often been made. that
when we 90 about things in America we
go rapidly. specializing and leading the
world-that is. historically. outside OF
athletics as well.
glance at the record books Of 1877 will
show that there was not q worlds anna
teur record held at that time by any Ameri-
can amateur athlete. All worlds amateur
records for standard distances and standard
events had been credited to the English
athlete.
Now glance to-day at the books-see
what a difference. Nearly all Of the world S
records at standard events have been
credited 20 the American amateur athlete.
notably the 100-yard, the 2O-yard. the 40
yard, the 830-yard and the one-mile records.
The high jump. broad jump. pole vault,
shot-put hammer throw 5G-pound weight,
high hurdle and the low hurde-al Of the
worlds records for these events now stand
10 the credit OF America. which shows the
remarkable strides we have made in this
country during the last thirty-hve years.
The situation to-day in athletics is at
tributable to the old timers who knew OF the
BENEFITS that would come TO the youth who
took part In athletics. In the old days. when
We had a few pioneers trying TO establish
athletic competition In the United States
they were discouraged, not encouraged
laughed at and as a matter Of fact. when
the first roll was called TO form the now
world famous New York Athletic club. not
enough men answered 10 form the ciuo.

INTERESTING PAPER OF The
OLD DAYS RECENTLY FOUND

An old republican city ticket uf
1877 for an election for city
officials has been resurrected by an
old timer and contains the names
Of the following candidates for
office Mayor, c. Derby; Chief Of
police, B. F. Lackey; assessor, R.
X. Bennett; tax collector, Robert
Gracey; Aldermen A. V. Cumstock,
Charles Kleupfer, ID. H. Fraser ].
&. Hampton. Nearly all of the
candidates have passed over to the
other side. Hampton was drowned
along with his wife on the Rio
Janiero a steamer which ran on
the rocks near the head OF the bay
OF San Francisco, along with
nearly 200 other passengers. He
left an estate valued at $500, 900.
Long Dan Fraser was we'll known
and well liked character. Bob
Greacey thinks that he is good for
at least 20 more years. A. v. Com
stock was no kin to the alleged
discoverer Of the Comstock, who
committed suicide. 1t will be
noticed that we had aldermen in,
those days instead of Commission
ers, and 10000 people lived in

OUR ARMYS MARVELLOUS
VICTORY ON THE BORDER

That the American army of 49,
600 men on the Mexican border
has achieved a remarkable victory
was shown by President Taft in his
speech at Philadelphia last week.
The enemy in this case was typhoid
fever. which infected nine-tenths
of the volunteers in the Spanish
American war. In the regular
army the proportion was far less.
but yet there were many cases
and not = few deaths.
The glorious victory on the
Mexican border was exhibited in
the Presidents statement that
among $4,000 then encamped for
two months in a wet country there
has been but one case of any sort.
The chief reason for this wonder

vaccination of officers and men
against typhoid. The substance
used is an anti-toxin which gives
practical immunity. and is itself
free from danger. The discovey
Of this means of prevention is of
untold value to humanity. espec-
tally to armies in the field where
the water supply may often be in
fected with the germs of typhoid.
The fact that typhoid fever is
due to a certain germ which
multiplies enormously in the intes-
tines. and other parts of the
system has long been known, but
the serum or vaccine method of
prevention is comparatively new.

SHERIFF BUTLER GONE WRONG.

According to the following Ely
dispatch of the oath to the Reno
Gazette. Sheriff albert J.Butler Of
White Pine county. q former Elko
boy. has left the state under q
very dark cloud:
Fearing that a shortage, esti-
mated at from $4,000 to $1,000
would be disclosed in his accounts,
Sheriff A. J. Butler one of Ne
vada's best known officers. disap-
peared about ten days ago to avoid
criminal prosecution.
No one knows his whereabouts
and all efforts to locate him have
been unavailing. Butler was
heard from last at San Diego.
He was probably headed for
Central or South America. Butler
carried the keys to the safe and
until last night it was presumed to
contain large sums of money.
The safe was forced open in
response to the demands of his
bondsmen in the presence of the
commissioners and the grand jury.
An examination Of the contents
failed to disclose the money known
to be there before Buffers de-
parture.
Another fact pertaining to his
premeditated and indefinite
absence from the city is that
Butler the day before leaving
decided all his real estate to his
wife. Butler has been in financial
difficulty since the last campaign
when he was candidate for re.
election. The grand jury in No.
vember found that Rutler failed
to turn over $21OO from license
collections for September and
October. Butler was removed
from Office last night by the COM

Grain was nominated by j. C.

Much Indignation is expressed
among democrats. Prominent
politicians held a meeting last
night and condemned Wheeler for
his actions.

the lax methods in vogue in the

his system of records as to license
