DOES 1T PAY To
BE A POLICEMAN?

The question is often asked by young
men interested in their career: docs
it pay to be a policeman It is often
said that the future is not extended
enough.
Captain Miles O'Reil1y, one of the
best known police officials in New
York, and one who has risen from the
ranks through his own effort and per-
sistence, has the following interes ting
recommendation to make. It was in
cited by interviewers upon his restg-
nation from the department Thursday
after thirty-nine years of active ser
vice:
THE police department. he said,
affords splendid opportunities to the
young man who will do right be hon
est, straightforward and do his duty
faithfully and conscientiously and
maintain his self-respect. Tempta-
tons? Oh yes, but we are beset with
temptation in every walk of life, and
If one is to succeed and enjoy the re-
spect of his fellow man he must be
honest and faithful above all things.
It has been a wonderful and delight
full experience, those thirty-nine years
in uniform
The statement of Captain O'Rei1ly
teens with sentiment meaning, and a
close perusal Of the sentiments ex-
pressed will not only bear careful
study by the newly appointed members
Of the local force but Will undoubtedly
prove interesting to many who con-
template joining in the future

BULL FIGHTS IN SPAIN.

The first blIll-fght in Spain was held
in Madrid on this date in the year
1880, and was attended by a tremen-
dous crowd, including a leaders Of
church and state. The populace i'm
mediately gave their approval to the
sport" and 1t has continued as the
foremost and favor1te pastime Of Span
farcfs to this day. BY an act passed
in 1884 bull-f1ghting in Spain was pro-
hibited except for pious and patriotic
purposes" This law had little Or no
effect, and every city in Spain still
has its arena where bull-fghts are
held regularly, usually on Sunday af-
ternoons. OF Late years considerable
public sentiment has been aroused in
Spain against the sport and King
Alfonso is said to be in sympathy with
the movement for its abolition. The
prohibition OF bulI-hghts in Mexico
was one of the pet projects of the late
President Madero, and this was par
TALLY responsible for his loss of pop
ularity. Bul1-f1ghting was long a, pop
l1lar pastime in England, and was not
abolished until 1885.

YALE TRACK TEAM
LOOKS PRETTY BAD
Chances OF Victory Over Harvard And
Princeton Considered Poor.

With the beginning of outdoor prac-
tice Yale Is worried over the lack of
hrst-class track material. Only two of
last years point winners, Capt. Wag-
goner, in the pole vault, and Ddggs in
the broad jump, are back in college.
Apparently Yale men do not expect
to make much Of a showing in the in
ter-collegiates or to win the dual meet
with Harvard or Princeton Two of
the men the Ellis were counting upon
for points have been lost. Flynn, the
football player, who left college last
December, was expected to score in
both the broad jump and the high
jump. His loss leaves no drst-class
men for the high jump. Another man
lost was Barlow. q very promising
sprtnter, who has left college.
Yale men apparently not
counting as much upon the sprinting
ability of Cornell as outsiders have
been. Cornell was a star sprinter at
Exeter academy and he did very well
on the freshman team last year, but
he seems to be somewhat over-rated-
The track experts hope for an oppor-
tunity to see him in action in the
10O-yard dash at the coming relay
