How Character Is Formed.

Characters are achieved-not re-
ceived. They grow out Of the sub
stance Of mans soul. They are not
put on as a beggar might put on
stolen coat. They mature like fruit
from the vital fluids Of the tree, This
is sign OF their genuineness; they
grow with use. A false limb wears
out, wastes with use. A natural limb
grows stronger and better with use.
Character IL an achievement.

Will Play Goat Golf.

A goat" golf contest is to start
at the Outing Club in a few days,
The game is something new in golf
circles and is ruled by the National
Golf Association. A large number
of goats" or small medals with the
image of goat upon them, have
been purchased by the club men and
every person entering competition
will be forced to first buy one. On
St. Goatherds Day, which will be
dated near the end Of the season, the
golfers will hand their medals in to
the committee and the holder of the
largest number will be awarded the
Goat Trophy, which is valued at
some where between $50 and 800.
According to the rules of the game
when one player loses his goat he
may hand in an I. o. U. for another
medal which will be charged up to
him at the end of the golf year. The
goat game will probably be popular
IN this city, as almost all members
of the club are preparing to enter
the contests.

on the Fond du Lac road, about one
mile from the graveyard turn. I
had nearly three minutes lead, and
only two miles to go and was driv-
ing slowly over this narrow, rough
and treacherous part of the course.
1t was right along here that Bruce
Brown was unable, to hold his car
after blowing out rear tire, De
Palma must have been going a great
deal faster than / and overtaking
me very rapidly, as it was only a.
few seconds after my mechanic tap
ped me on the shoulder to let me
know that car was approaching,
that his car hit the rear OF my ma
chine. / might also add that the
country here is series of small
hills, and car ahead or behind you
is constantly bobbing out of sight,
which probably explains why my
mechanic did not see him before.
although l knew some one was
coming had not tried to pull to
one side Of the course to let him by
as there would not have been room
for him to pass at this point had
given all the room / could.
1T is not my intention to tffer
any suggestions as to how De Pal
ma happened to hit me. He will
doubtless be in condition to make a
statement in day or SO. No one
knows his ability as driver better
than I, as he coached me when !
started to drive three years ago and,
in my opinion, he is the best all
around driver In this country and
one with the experience of all the
big events for several years. l am
as anxious as any one to hear his
statement and willing to bear the
blame II was at fault in any way.
and sincerely hope his generous ma
ture will not prevent him from ex-
pressing his real opinion.

SNAKE HUGS A

She Awakens in Terror With Rep

ed from nap while she was pastur.

southern Lancaster county, Nellie
Stokes found that the hug which
had mixed with her dreams was not
that of the prince of the fairy tale
but Of a fiirtatious blacksnake.
Nellie, while watching the cows
seated herself on a rock, and, while
reading a paper, fell asleep. Dur.
ing her nap she felt something
Tightening around her waist. She
thought it was her apron strings
and on reaching to adjust them he1
hands came in contact with the gay
snake.
She managed to free herself OF
the reptile and called her father
who killed the snake. 1t measured

BALKAN PEACE
NOW HANGING
IN b !. 4 \
Hope of Powers Averting Clash
IA Decreases.
AUSTRIA AGREES TO PLAN.
French Diplomats are Still Hopeful
Of Maintaining
Peace.

Paris, Oct. War or peace be.
tween Turkey and the Balkans is
in the balance. If anything II
might be said that the scales swung
slightly yesterday against peace in
the sense that every hours delay in
the powers, Intervention increases
the danger of hostilities. The word
now rests with Great Britain. All
the other powers have accepted
with some modification the French
premier's plan for Intervention, but
it is understood here that Great
Britain hesitates in going so far as
to assume. with the other powers
responsibility for securing from
Turkey board reforms in Macedonia
Great Britain's representation is
causing some uneasiness and some
criticism in Paris. Such papers as
the Temps assert that they cannot
understand Great Britain's lack OF
sympathy in the needed Turkish re-
forms when in 1876 that country
rose up in a body against the So
called Bulgarian atrocities of that
year. Even with England's sup
port, and this is expected to come
tomorrow, the crisis is not removed
The great questions remain as to
whether the powers can obtain ex-
tensive enough reforms from Tur-
key to satisfy the militant Balkan
states. -, ~.
Paris, Oct. Austria has given
adhesion to the plan formulated by
the French and Russian foreign
ministers to deal with the Balkin
situation. 1t is believed here that
the proposals as now outlined will
remove any lurking suspicious in
England that the continental row
ers possibly were contemplating a
settlement wholly at the expense OF
Turkey.
In official circles the feeling pre-
walls that this guarantee offered by
the powers ought to satisfy the BAL
kan states II, as they profess, their
sole motive in mobilizing against
Turkey was to force the reforms pro-
vided for in the treaty of Berlin. II
the Balkan governments can hold
the fighting element in check,
French officials are hopeful that the
diplomats may still win out against
the soldiers. $50
