HARVARD MAN 2 DENIES HE IS
 A RUSSIAN SPY

cambridge, Mass, June 21-Johan Gottfrfed Ohsol, who was driven from Russia because of his revolutionary views and is now accused in a report from Riga, his native town, of being an agent of the Russian secret police, denies that he is either a revolution 1st or a police spy. He is a citizen of the United States. With his wife Ohsol, who is 34 years of age, is Ifv- ing modestly in this city. Since 1909, with some interruptions, he has been a student in the Harvard graduate school, specializing in economies. In 1911-1912 he was an assistant in. an economies course and he is now work ingson a thesis for the degree of doc tor of philosophy which he hopes to receive in the fall. Then he expects to teach.
 T have been living quietly in the United States said Ohsol, Ftand I am now a citizen. having taken out my final papers last year. The report that am in the service of the police states also that I am a social revolu- tionist. That is not true. In the Du- ma I was a member of the social democratic party, which about cores ponds to the Socialist party in the United States.
 ''I, do not understand the source of this report, and am surprised that an attack is made against me at this late day. As far as Russia goes, [ now look upon her as a foreign country as I am an American citizen by adop- tion. Of course I take an interest in the misfortunes of Russia, just as do in other people in distress, but to say that am an agent of the po- lice is preposterous.
 "As for the ameToratfon of condi- ton in Russia, I look for a change within a comparatively few years. The Durna is now controlled by the inn perfal party, that is the government and even any effort at reform that the government does essay, seems to fail
 CT expect. to see a change at the demand of capitalists of other coun- tries who have lent money to Russia; they will get tired eventually of the unproductive and uneconomic meth ods of the Russian government. OhsoI was one of ffty-fve social democrats who were indicted on the charge of conspiracy preceding the dissolution of the second duma. He escaped ito Finland, and after remain ing there two. months, returned to Riga, and there, under an assumed name. came to this country by way of England, in October, 1907. He is now correspondent for several socialist newspapers.

KID JULIAN REPORTED
 TO BE. COMING CHAMP

Promising boxers of tho ola school with a real lnocnOut punch are 60 scarce nowadays that Kid JuIian'5 rs- cent good work is worthy of some at ten4ion. What oommendaton Julian gets is likely to be well earned by his work in the ring. Be; Asa nght- CT and is only interesting aS Buch- Being rough, unprepOssesstng citi- gen. he does not strike one as likely to furnish good material for go-celied human interest stOr1es-
 In eais he is handicapped in com peting with Johnny !KiIbane and otn- CTS of that stamp. A g1ahce at the pictures on most any sporting pace will reveal the astonishing fact that our featherweIght champion has a. wife and several children Julian will not get much of that kind of ad- vertising, but he can fight
 Before Julian appeared at the BE Nicholas A. C., in New York on Wed nesday night he was credited with some remarkable feahs in the quick finishing line; but they were perform ed at obscure clubs and escaped par ticuIar attention. Seeing is believing and in the future the upstate feath- erweight will be welcome.
 Of course Julian may not be quite fir to meet the champion yet His steadiness under fire when facing a real star may not be all that it should be. He has a few boxing faults tnat a s-ood ring general would be able to take advantage of. But like Gunboa1 Smith. Julian has the foundation of success in his terrific hitting With a little more polish he will be able co give Champion Ki1bane some real work to do the next time the Cleve- lander comes East looking for easy marks.
 Julian's noticeable fault is a ten- dency to duck toward his opponents right instead of the left He uses head feint that is likely to bob hia chin right into the path of a right up- percut that will bring his career to el sudden end some time unless he chan ges his style.
 Still, his defence is far from beiuE an open one, and as he possesses such 8. convincing wallop he has legz need of an a:r-tight method of guard ing. His future will be watched with considerable interest

SPORTOGRAPHY


 If today's American intercollegiate regatta at Poughkeepsie runs true to form, it will be marked by spectacu- lar stunts and a thrilling finish. While Cornell has had the habit of winning for several years, the Ithacans usual ly know they have been in race. Last year the Cornell varsity crew finished exactly four seconds ahead Of Wisconsin. In 1911 Columbia was six seconds behind Cornell, and in 1910 Cornell won over Pennsylvania by the narrow margin of two seconds In 1908, when Syracuse was the victor, Columbia was only one second be- hindL
 The closest finish the Poughkeepsie crowds have ever witnessed was in the race between the feur-oared crews at the 1905 regatta From the ob- seryation trains there did not appear to be any possible choice between Syracuse and Cornell. Immediately after the race the judges declared Cornell victorious, whereat the Salt City rooters hooted and howled, cry ing, "AGi1I the judges A few min utes later the Syracusans were prais- ing the umpires, for they had changed their minds, and declared Syracuse the, victor. Reeves from the 1thacans, as H. Togo would remark. More talk among the judges, and CornelPs flag
 
 discussion, lasting a couple of hours, and the final decision was handed down that Syracuses shell had finish ed ahead by one inch, or a fraction thereof.
 Colurnbia's only victory in the var sity race was gained in 1895, in the famous ..submarine regatta The New Workers won by a foot-pump, which was used to keep the shell from sinking. The river was unusually rough, and the Pennsy boat sank while still a mile short of the finish line, and the Ithaca boat went to pieces and left it's crew struggling in the drink. In 1904, at Poughkeepsie, the Foote brothers, Cornell oarsmens established record for endurance by rowing in both the fOur-oared and varsity shells In 1906 the Wtscon- sin freshman crew, which seemed 10 have a cinch on victory, was put out of the race by a. swell from a passing boat In 1897 the Harvard eight at Poughkeepsie completely collapsed at the finish of the race. Then there was the case when stern old Coach Court ney of Cornell fired a whole crew, bag and baggage, because the youngsters had partaken of strawberry short cake, and in a short Interval built up a new crew that won the race. TO-DAY IN PUGIIISTIC ANNALS. 1e1O-BiI1y Papke defeated the veteran middGeweight, Mike Twin 1 Sullivan, in 12 rounds at Boston. It was a spirited bout from the word go, and Referee Flaherty was harBhly criticised by the fans for not giving Jack draw. Tn the eleventh round both men went to the floor together, and biffed each other vigorously until the referee made them get up and do l their fighting more nearly according to Queensberry.

Rural Carrier is Whole POStOffice.

A rural mail carrier may take

farmer on his route without its
ever reaching the postolfice, says

is u feature of the new parcels

soon as the machinery is in work
ing order. AS yet the necessary
equipment has not been provid-
ed by the department, but it will
soon be ready. This is only pos
sible when the sender and re-
ceiver are on the same route,
however. The parcels post is not
apparently cheaper for anything
under 6 ounces. Special stamps
must be affixed, and these are
not good on first, second or third
class mail. Parcels must be pre-
pared in such manner that the
contents can be easily examined.
A parcel will not be accepted for
mailing unless it bears the name

Life is Worth Living.

The fact remains that people
do go on living; that they do
slow that they consider life to
b. worth while. If they found
it intolerable they would also
fad some good excuse for parting
from it. So, since life must be-
worth living, the only sensible
attitude to take about it is to
minimize its disadvantages and
N agnify it's advantages. Let us
insist that We are free, and not
necessarily bound by old habits
and old griefs; let us begin over
each day. If we have to contra
dict the past it is wiser to do it :;
and it Is wiser still to ignore the
future except where we have the
gift of hope. If we can hope
about the future and believe it
will bring to US happiness, we
can dwell on that. But whatever
the past was and whatever the
future may be, we are sure of
each day as it comes. We should
meet it with confidence and zest.
1t is ours to commsnd. 1t NAV
bring Us great deal of good,
especially if we have begun over
with real faith. And two things
it will always dot will carry
us farther away from old griefs,
and it will bring Us near ultimate
peace aud happiness.

Simple Cure. for a Burn.

Burns in the kitchen are so
frequent that it Is fortunate that
tie kitchen, or rather, the bin in
the cellar, provides quick and
easily applied cure for such in
iuries. When Que has been scar
ed by fire, Immediately cut a
white potato, scrape out the In,
SIDE and make it very fine. Bind
this scraping on the burn and the
pain will be quickly mitigated.
Should the burn be very deep it
may be necessary to make a sec
ond application. This is an old
fashioned remedy, but one that
has proved successful in many
severe burns.

Caution With Gasoline.

Gasoline seems to be so much
of a necessity these days especial
~ on the farm, that we are apt
to overlook its dangerous quail
ties. 1t is said of q fire that it
IL goo, .>-Yant but d bad mas
tor, and this is most assuredly
the case with gasoline. Proper
~ handled, it is one of the most
valuable of industrial agencies,
hat used carelessly it becomes
destructive in the extreme.
The other day a woman poured
some gasoline on the fuel in the
stove, wishing to make q quick
fire. After putting the can down
IN remote corner of the room
she started the fire in the stove.
Like a flash the gasoline in the
can exploded and she was fatally
Injured. She did not know that
an unseen train of gasoline vapor
might lead from the match she
struck or the flames in the stove
tu the distant can.
In another case, a woman pour
ed quart of gasoline into a mar
bic basin in the bath room and
paced a silk waist in it. She
closed the door and went away
for ten minutes. Then she rub.
bed the silk between her hands.
This generated sufficient electric
ity to make spark. The gaso.
line exploded, the house burned
and the woman lost her life.
There are many people who
handle this fluid as careressIy as
kerosene, and the number of &C.
cidents reported would seem to
be increasing. Printed informa-
tion regarding the safe handling
Of gasoline should be obtained
and studied by every housekeep,
er and all who are required to
uie it in any way, Dealers should
also be more particular in giving
out needed information on the
subject.

Ear a Marvellous Instrument.

Wonderful as are the functions
of the DYE the ear appears to be a
yet more marvellous instrument.
People with good hearing do not
appreciate the inexclicable deli
cacy of the little instrument that
Nature has implanted on each
side of their heads. But anatom-
lists appreciate without being
able to understand it. There is
hardly any trouble with the eye
that they cannot adjust, but not
so with the ear. When its fairy
mechanism is tangled and out of
tune it is often impossible to re-
store its functions. 1t is the
greatest mystery of the human
organism.

Skeleton Identified.

A mystery which deepens, is
that surrounding the human
81 eleton found near Hematite,
Cumberland county, by 'possum
hunters on the night of January
is.
To the minds Of some it is not
clear tha5 the skeleton IS not
Il at of Morris Minor, who disap-
peared from his home about three
years ago. Ii it is that of Mr.
Minor his death at that point
might be explained. If it is
tat of James O. Bunnell of
Ciarksville, as is now claimed by
relatives, there is a chance that
he was robbed either before or
after death.
On the fateful morning of July
30, when he came up town he
wore gold watch fastened to o
chain, and relatives claim had a
sum of money in his pockets. No
" atch was found and only $1.61
in coins. Fastened to the trous-
er's belt was a short section of a
etch chain similar to the one
worn by him.

Caring for Lard.

If lard is cooked property and
PIT into sweet, clean vessels, and
kept in a cool place, it should
not be rancid. Cook the fat IN
til the cracklings are a light
brown and sink to the bottom
but do not scorch. If the lard
becomes rancid, put into a small
kettle, something over half-full,
and slice cleanly-washed potatoes
as for frying, a half dozen to a
gallon of lard if they an large ;
put into the lard before it is hot,
and leave until the potatoes are
cooked brown and crisp, then
strain out and the lard should be
sweet. Feed the potatoes to the
chickens. There should be po-
tG toes enough to absorb the bad
taste of the lard, aud half doz-
en- to the gallon will be plenty.
