Princeton to Go Slow In Rowing.
w. w. Roper, who is the graduate
director of athletics at Princeton, is
authority for a statement that the
Tigers will not take part in any of the
outside rowing regattas during the
present year.
Ever since Princeton made such a
favorable impression in the triangular
regatta with Cornell and Yale the peo-
pie who were anxious to have Tiger
crew compete at Poughkeepsie or at
New London have been boosting to-
ward this end. Mr.. Roper's announce
ment, however, will end all this talk.
Princeton will hold q regatta on Car
negie lake again next year. Negotia-
tions are now progressing for TRAN
gular meeting with Harvard and Penn
sylvania. n,
It is also practically certain that the
Tigers will enter a crew in the Amer.

MIGHT HAVE PUT LAST FIRST
Old Lady Wound Up With Excellent
Reason for Not Liking tho
Domlnie's Sermon.

Walter ID. Moody, meanaging direc-
tor of the Chicago plan commission.
told the following story at a recent
luncheon Of the Chicago real estate
board:
A Scotch clergyman who had made
a particularly brilliant attempt Gas
he thought) in the preparation of a
certain sermon, felt highly elated on
the Sunday on which 1t was delivered.
Walking home from church after
the service he encountered an old
lady who was one of his stanchest
Pensioners. Slipping his arm through
hers he asked:
"Aunty, how did you like my SER
mon today?" Expecting, of course, to
receive a fine word of approval from
the devout old lady, who was a great
admirer of the minister, he was cha
grined when she replied: Good do
mimic, did not like It,
You did not like it, auntyl Well,
what was the reason?"
There are three reasons"
Three reasons! l declared! / pray
what was the first one?"
81 do not like sermons that are
read"
That was not disconcerting, SO the
minister pressed the old lady for the
second reason.
Well" she said, 81 did not like the
way you read It,"
Come now, aunty," continued the
minister, that is not SO bad. What
was the final reason?"
well, dinna like to tell you, good
dominic, but ! thought 1t wasn't
worth reading"

Glass Paving Falls.

Seven or eight years ago a plant
was established at La Demie Lune, q
suburb about four miles from Lyons,
for making glass paving material.
After many experiments carried out
at the factory, the manufacturer ap-
piled to the Lyons municipality for
the right to make a trial on one Of the
chief thoroughfares. The necessary
authorization was granted, provided
that the inventor would bear the en-
tire expense Of the undertaking. The
place chosen for laying the glass
pavement was q section of the Place
de la Republique, where traffic Of
cabs, automobiles and wagons of all
kinds is very heavy. The glass bricks
remained in place for less than two
years. and were then taken out. as
they were in very poor condition. The
edges were all broken, and in many
cases the blocks were split through
and through. The opinion of officials
at that time was to the effect that
this glass pavement could be used un-
der favorable circumstances for foot
paths, but not for the middle Of
streets.

WIRELESS AIDS LuN CUPID
Most Modern of Methods Seized on
for Use Of tho Resourneful God
Of Love.

Cupid has sped his daEt by devious
ways. The address of a guileless
country maid, written on the shell OF
a new-laid egg has been known to
bring her a husband. The girl in the
factory has often scribbled her name
and address on the material which
she helped to make and 1t has more
than once fallen into the hands of a
mechanic many miles away and we'd
ding bells have rung The telephone
has cemented romances galore and
Central has captured her future
lord and master by her silvery
"hello!" Even the airship has en-
tered the service of Little Dan Cupid.
So far as is known, however, for
the first time wireless telegraphy has
been responsible for uniting two lov-
ing hearts that never would have met
had it not been for the mysterious
ether waves carrying messages Of
love and endearment.
The young man who has added
wireless to the aids to Cupid" Is
Arthur Barr of Elizabeth, N. ]. For
menting with &c. @. DIS" and other
signals with fellow amateur wireless
operators. Their experiments stopped
some time ago. Strange messages
from the direction Of Staten Island
was the cause When Arthur de-
ciphered these he suspected there
was "a woman in the case"
Barr's suspicious proved correct In
Mariners Harbor Elsie Shelton,
eighteen years old, had been tamper-
ing with the wireless apparatus which
her brother had rigged. BY watching
him she had learned to send messages
and receive answers. She soon picked
up Barr's "Marconigrams" and trans.
lated them into the language Of love.
The messages continued. The couple
met and Barr soon expects to make
Miss Shelton his wireless bride.

Last Co-Eds All Take Honors.

The passing of co-education at Wes-

the fact that every young woman In
the graduating class this year, which
Is to be the last class of women to re-
oeive diplomas from the university,
has been awarded honorary member
ship in the high scholarship society of
Phi Beta Kappa. Only small proper

One Of the arguments which the

honors which otherwise would have

SHATTERED BY
The Common Law has been
glorihed many times, but owing
to the unfortunate selfshness of
men it doesn't always work out
quite right.
One instance in which the
Common Law failed rather mis-
erably was dragged into the Chi
cago courts today.
A Rich Man, who was married,
fell in love with Manicure Girl,
who also fell in love with him..
The Rich Mans wife died and
he proposed to the Manicure Girl,
who Immediately accepted him.
Full of love and joy and hope,
the Manicure Girl began the
preparation of her tFosseau, ex-
pecting an immediate marriage.
But the Rich Man had different
ideas. He told the Manicure Girl
that 1t was too soon after his
wife's death for marriage. That
marriage is such haste would
not be DECENT.
So he proposed a Flat and the
Common Law, and the Manicure
Girl, who truly loved the Rich
Man and believed in him, agreed.
Things were very beautiful for
time, and the Manicure Girl was
glad she had given in to the Rich
Man and was happy in his love,
and he was very good to her.
He took her on many trips to
different cities and to Cuba, and
he gave her a fine country home.

Rich Mans wife's death, and the
Manicure Girl began to think
that it was about time that they
had the benefit Of clergy in their
relations.
So she asked the Rich Man
when the marriage was going to
be, and the Rich Man said in a
month or so.
And the months went past,
and were succeeded by other
months, and still the Rich Man
said Gin a month or so, only now
he did not say it with so much
heartiness.
The Manicure Girl began to
weep a great deal, and the Rich
Man laughed at the Manicure
Girls tears, and was angry at the
same time. He laughed at them
to reassure her, but he was angry
because tears spoiled the Mani
cure Girls looks.
And then, of course, the Third
Party walked on to the stage in
the person of Another Girl, to
whom the Rich Man began to pay
much attention.
The Manicure Girl wept even
more than before, but weeping,
did not. do any good, and worry
only made her grow thin, and at
last she became angry about it all,
and told the Rich Man what she
thought about his conduct.
No rich man likes being told
what other people think about his
conduct, and this Rich Man was
very angry, and ordered the Man
icure Girl to pack up and go.

WOMEN, GET BUSY.

Women, do you know that all you
who are over FL years of age can
vote at the school election on April
8? That is the only suffrage wom-
en- have in the state of Montana, and
they certainly showed their interest
in school matters at the special
election held in December when
the school bonds were voted on. That
was a lively election, in which the
women played most important
part, and the greater majority of
votes cast in favor of the bonds
was accounted for by the woman 8
votes which exceeded that of the
men.
That election being a special cleo
ton, and this being a school district
of the second class, it was not re-
quired of any one to register, but in
regards to a regular election the
law reads differently. 1t states
that in order to vote everyone eligi-
BILE must be registered, men and
women both, so 1t is now up to the
women. and men also, who have
not already done SO, to appear be-
fore a notary public or the justice
of the peace and make out the prop
er affidavits. The registration
books for the school election will be
left open until March 6, one week
longer than for the municipal cleo
ton, on account OF the school cleo
ton being held on the Saturday fol-
lowing the city election. In order
to vote at the school election the
party is required that he or she
should have lived in the state 1t
least one year and in the school dis
trict six months.

HAVE YOU DONE 1T?

Tomorrow is positively the last day
you have to register if you want to
vote at the municipal election. Ac-
cording to the new law, with which
almost everyone is now familiar, the
registration books close 80 days pre-
vlous to the election. and those who
are not registered can not vote.
There will be no excuse for not be-
ing registered. for you have had the
past six months in which to get your
name on the books. If you are one
of the parties who have been put
ting 1t off from day to day, thinking
that you had all kinds of time. and
now find that you are nearing the
end, make a rush for the Justice Of
the peace or some notary public and
make out the proper affidavits II 70,
are at all interested in having your
say into whose hands the reins Of
the city government shall be put.
Get busy At once. Drop your work
nd 60 and register.
