BILE from my kidneys for two years

There are monuments in all sorts Of

really unique is that erected In a river.

world over for the rowing events that
have taken place upon 1t. This mon

A cottager at Falmouth Foreslde
persists in flying the British flag over
the cottage In which he Is living, and
stoutly refuses to fly the Stars and
to be from Canada, and, holding that
he Is subject of the English govern
ment, claims he Is within his right
and that there Is no law to compel
him to fly Old Glory at the same time.
| The incident has been made more
acute by some of those who resent the
stand of the Canadian visitor, who,
under the cover Of darkness, cut the
lanyards and allowed the British flag
to hoat to the ground. Whether or
not there is law that would permit
the Britisher to fly his flag unaccom-
panied by its American sister, the
party who resorts to deeds of dark
ness or defeat discourteous neighbor
Is In pretty small business. 1t savors
much OF that class Of people In the
South who join hands to commit MUIR
der because some poor, ignorant
brute, In a moment of passion, has
done the same thing. The average
American can have little admiration
for man with 30 many bristles in his
back that he prefers to set at def
ance a whole community for the sake
of showing his peevishness; yet. after
all. a fair minded citizen would think
but little more of the man who would
go In the night to cut down his neigh
boris flag.

Antiquity Of tho eenate,


The senate is historically much older
than the lower house, or house Of rep
resentatives, as It is called In our
country and time In the remote time.

as science Of government, the tribe
was wont to look to its old men. on

men were the first senators. The
word senator comes from "senis,"
meaning old. AS civilization advanced

EXTRA VICTORY FOR
WENTWORTH
Walsh A. G. Easily Defeated by
Cadets-Score 21 to 8.

In an extra game last Saturday
the Wentworth first team won
q to 3 victory over the Walsh
Athletic Club of Kansas City.
Owing to the inclemency Of
the weather neither team was
able to put much Of a game.
Mud spoiled the game for speed
and the wind prevented success
full toe work.
Coach Thacher was very dis
appointed in the showing his
team made. 1t seems that the
most of the players were so
swelled up over the Westminster
victory that they were unable
to move on account Of their
additional size. Some men ad-
mlfed the nerve OF the Kansas
City bunch for appearing on the
field against them. If this had
not been the general feeling
among the players there is no
doubt that they would have
run up a much higher score, and
unless things change along this
line Wentworth is very liable to
suffer two great disappointments
The three points for Walsh
were made from placement al
about 25 yards, Meme doing the
kicking.

Captain J. j. Skinner, manager
of athletics at Wentworth Mill
tary academy, says that only ON
rare occasions does an athletic
contest pay. For every game
this year the deficit has been
from 500 to 500. Even the
Westminster game, which brought
out the biggest crowd in years,
was a losing proposition.
Following is the statement COW
ering the financial part Of the
game;
