l am nearly Sc years old and
have eaten many meals in at least
sixteen states, both in hotels and
restaurants, and in farmers homes,
in the latter from the log cabin with
lean-to kitchen, to the elegant mod
ern farm home, with heating, light
ing and water systems, and | have
never tasted spoiled meat in a farm
house, while | have sent many a bit
back from hotel tables with my re-
spects (?) paid in advance.
The young man who thinks of
leaving his country home for a life
in the city ought to stop and think
of the meals he has eaten, even in
the most humble farm home, and
then recall the fact that not even
the moderately well.to-do city man
can afford snch meals every day
and three times day.
Yesterday | walked across the
fields and took dinner with a friend
-(juSt a plain, small faRner. There
was a roast of beef pounds he
said, potatoes, lye hoIniny, pickles
of two or three kinds. as many of
preserves, hot biscuits, butter, apple
pie and honey with coffee, and the
sugar used the only things that
were not the product of that little
farm, and his wife complained that
I'VE have so little to cook" Tourist

Another Day.

Another Day.
Another day is DONE" you say
with careless speech,
All! think you where this little day
may reach?
Into q tomb where someone is
asleep,
Will those who loved too late in
anguish weep
Into a heart where all is still and
dark,
Save where ghostly hope lies
white and stark
To trembling lips that would a word
recall
Which some wild momentcarelessly
let fall.
Into brain that formed a wicked
deed
For whose deep hurt there is no
balm nor need.
Into eyes sightle5s that this morn
ing knew
Each blossoms tint, the skies far
tender blue.
These thoughts are dark the vines
that clasp a tomb!
Still bears the day with its wreath
of golden bloom.
For gentle hands of love have
crowned this day
With deeds whose beauty never
fades away. .
To-day, lips sang their CHEEKY, hap
py song;
And hearts have spoken hearts
deep yearning long.
And weary feet that sought the
Valley Still
Turn back once more mission to
fulfill
Another day is done"-Ah! yes! a
hundred years,
Each moment crowned with joy or
paled with tears.
Be wise, o Human heart; not far
away,
Beyond the sunset another
day!

DRAW SEATS FOR BIG GAME.
Navy Athletic Association Arranging
for Distribution Of Tickets for Big
Contest on Franklin Field.

At meeting of the officers of the
Navy Athletic Association the draw
ing for seats on the stands at Frank
lin Field, Philadelphia. for the Army
Navy football game, were made.
The drawings, as usual. were ac-
cording to the alphabetical arrange
ment of the names of members of the
Association. For instance, begin
ming with the letter A, the number
of the sections in the several stands
was drawn from a pile indiscrimi-
nately, the members whose names
begin with A to occupy the seat in
said section, and so on through the
alphabetical list
The greater portion of the Navy
contingent will, as usual, occupy seats
on the North stand while the Army
adherents will be on the opposite
side of the field, or South stand,
though each Association will also get
a number OF tickets for seats in the
East and West stands.
With the additional stands that
have been erected, the seating ca
pacity of Franklin Field this year
will be something like $500, so
that as the total number of tickets
are divided equally between the Army
and Navy Associations, and the
University of Pennsylvania, the latter
disposing of their tickets at public
sale, each institution will get about
1,1J0 tickets this year.
The arrangements are more graft
flying to the Navy and Army Associa-
tions this year than ever before, since
each will get Approximately 1900
more tickets than was the case last
year.
The committee of officers voted
that pair of cickets to the game be
sent each representative of the local
press.

TESTING A NEW AEROPLANE.
Navy AviatOrs Experimenting With a
Different Model Of Wright Machine
-AerObOat Turns Over.

Further tests of new aeroplane
of the Wright type are being made
today by the naval aviators on duty
at the navy avi alton camp here.
The machine was launched yester-
day at the aviation grounds with En-
sign Victor III. Herbster at the wheel.
The young officer remained in the air
for three quarters of an hour.
Many of the parts of the new craft
here made here, and it was assem-
bled entirely by the local aviators and
mechanicians. A special feature is
a float, constructed of leatheroid,
which appears to be unusually light
and strong. The tests so far have
been successful.
An accident occurred yesterday
afternoon to one of the Curtiss hydro
aeroplanes, with Lieut. F. v. Nc
Nair as the aviator. Owing to some
stiffness in the control, the machine
struck the water on the descent at
too great speed and turned over
head foremost. One of the wings
was badly broken. but Lieutenant
McNair was uninjured.

RODES WORKS AT QUARTER.
Captain Of Navy Eleven Back in Game
as is McReavY Who Had Broken
Finger.

=. The Navy football enthusiasts seem
ed encouraged yesterday by the i'm
proved showing of the team in its game
against Pittsburgh University on Sat-
urday and the presence on the field of
practically the whole squad.
McReavy, the big Dackfield man,
who broke his finger two weeks ago.
was in shape to return to the game, as
was Ralston, a promising candidate
for end or tackle, who bruised his knee
badly several days ago The squad
was unable to get on the field before
5 O'Clock, and there was only a short
signal practice and some kicking and
catching.
The backfield is causing the coaches
much worry. and so far there has not
been a candidate for a place behind the
line that promises more than medic
Gritty. Captain Rhodes was placed at
quarterback yesterday afternoon.
Ncholls made disappointing position
Saturday, as he fumbled badly and had
little judgment as to punts, but the
coaches may give him some further
chance, as he runs with the ball well
and may overcome his faults. Two
backs who did encouraging work on
Saturday were Ingarm and Failing, and
they are being given much attention
ust no. Both are heavily built lads.

this morning before the Court, Judge
Brashears on the bench, upon the
charge of cruelty to animals, and was
fined SIS and costs.
rhe case was an appeal from the

JOY RIDING GALORE.
Fifty Seven Varieties Of Automobile.
Made Trip Here From Baltimore

On Sunday the new boulevard was
lined with automobiles probably on ac-
count of the fact that the new stretch
between Boone Station and Robinson
was recently opened. One Annapoli-
tan, making a trip to Baltimore count
ed fifty-seven automobiles making
the journey to the Capital city over
the new boulevard.
Just beyond Robinson a motor
cyclist who Was coming from Balti-
more met with a serious accident.
His machins skidded into cne ditch
and he was thrown high into the air,
the machine being demolished and the
rider was taken to a Baltimore hos
pital by passenger automobile.
Many crowds assembled at many
points on the road to watch the speed
Jag which is making the new b1ule-
ward extremely dangerous.

SHERMAN DYING.
Condition OF Vice President Reported
Critical.

For the first time since he was
stricken with illness last spring and
was compelled TO abandon his official
duties in Washington it was admitted
last night by his physicians that
Vice President james S. Sherman is
in an extremely critical condition at
his home in Utica. N. Y, and that
the outcome cannot al the present
time be forecast.
If Vice-President Sherman should
die before the expiration of mis- term
on March 4, 1918, the country would
have no Vice. President. Succession
in case a President dies is provided
for in the Constitution and by statute,
but there is no provision for success
sor to a Vice-President. The Vice
Presidents duties as President of
the Senate would of course be as
sumed by the president pro tempore
of the Senate. From the time of
Vice President Rosevelt's succession
to the Presidency in 1901 until Mr..
Fairbanks took office on March 4.
1905, there was no Vice-President of
the United States.
Should Mr.. Sherman die before
election there would be no change in
the election machinery. Republican
voters would vote for Republican
electors, and if the ticket won the
electors would choose a Vice Presi-
dent. If the Taft-Sherman ticket
should win on November 5 and Mr..
Sherman should die after that day it
would fall to the Electoral College to
elect some other man as Vice-P Presi-
dent
