NAMES PRIMARY EXPERIENCE.

The operation of the primary law is
 being watched in the states where it has been put into effect. Maine through
 the action of the legislature was just
 barely able to carry out the will of the people though determined efforts were made to thwart it. Edwin C. Bur leigh, republican, has been made the United States senator but the failure of five representatives, chosen by the people to carry out their will ex- pressed in the primary, shows that as at present the primary has its weak spots. Of it the Portland Express says:
 The direct primary has failed on it's
 first trial. Thanks to men who swore to their loyalty to it, il has been ruth Iessly brushed aside. Someone should at once introduce into the legislature a bill repeating that portion of the direct primary law which provides for the nomination of the senators by the people. 8Iessrs. Mathieson, Richard son. Sanderson and Stuart hitherto unknown names have given the prim
 ary it's death blow. They may not be more guilty that some others who have stood behind the scenes and pulled the strings by which they have bobbed, temporarily, into notoriety. We are disposed to think they are not much to be blamed, for reason long given for the excuse of certain offend CTS against the laws of good taste"
 In this connection the strongest ad- vocates of the primary law have been those who failed to carry out it's pro- visions. but the direct election of the United States senator by the people will overcome that difficulty Maine now has a chance to pass. legislation whereby the will of the people will be carried out

I had pains in both sides and such soreness I could scarcely straighten up at times. My back ached, had no appetite and was so nervous [ could not sleep, then I would be so tired mornings that I could scarcely get around. It seemed almost impossible to move or do 8 bit of work and thought I never would be any better until I submitted to an operation, but my husband thought I had better write to you and I did so, stating my synp- toms.

Goethe pointed out the difference between tendency and talent
 The whole world of art and Htera- ture is filled with those who have mis- taken a tendency for a talent
 About 49 singers out of 50 have only g tendency to sing
 Most of the short stories in current literature are. possibly, tendencies; they are certainly not talent. Many a person has misconstrued disposition to write novel to be gift for writ ing 6 novel.
 Of most preachers it may be said with charity that they have a leaning toward publir speech.
 All of us poor mortals have the ten dency toward parenthood but how few have the talent to be good parentEt
 How is one to tell?
 There is only one test; talent carries with it. the willingness to do any amount of hard work. If you can gladly give -nur life to your work, suffer for it and toll and wait and deny yourself for it. you have at least one proof that you have talent. But if your attitude is T could if I would. .'' most like it is a tendency only.

Coaches of Yale and Pennsyl-

Both Yale and Pennsylvania have been
making special preparations for their
game here at American League Park
next Monday afternoon, and the condi-
ton of the pitchers has been specially
looked to- The coaches of the two teams
feel that their best pitchers are in bet
ter condition now than is generally the
case at this season of the year. Pennsyl-
vania started work about six weeks ago,
and Capt. Imlay, Penn's star pitcher.
has practiced regularly and is much fu--
ther advanced than he was at this time
last season.
Coach Thomas feels that he will sure
ly pitch a very good game next Monday
afternoon against Yale. 1t is Coach
Thomas intention to have Inlay pitch this
game. and the Pennsylvania captain is
very anxious to do so, mainly because
he was in the box last June when Yale
and Pennsylvania played a fourteenth
ming tie game at New Haven, this be-
ing the only tie game between these teams
last year. Should INLAY not prove -
be pitching up TO the form expected on
Monday, Pennsylvania has another very
good man in Sayre, who Will take his
place. For Yale, Brown and Scott are
the two pitchers who are expected to
make the best showing this season.
Brown was the pitcher who opposed I'm
lay in the aforementioned fourteen-in-
be on the mound again when these two
teams meet next Monday.
He will be saved for this game. and
Capt Blossom feels that he will bring
his men in a winner this time. Scott is
also a very dependable man, as this is
his second year on the nine.
Both teams are in the South now ana
they will reach this CITY tomorrow, SO
that they should be in the very best OF
condition for the game the following aft
ernoon. This game is the first of the
series of three games that Pennsylvania
ana Yale will play, the other two to be
played at Philadelphia and New Haven,
respectively.
