Quite Number Distinguished Them
selves in American Colleges.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-Thefar east
ern information bureau of New York
city today issued statement showing
the large percentage of Chinese stu
dents in the United States who made
good in competition with native Amer
leans. The statement epitomizes a
speech recently delivered before the
China society in London by K. p. G.
cation.
The report shows that in the United
States a goodly percentage are selected
to such representative fraternities as
the Phi Beta Kappa, Delta Tau Delta,
Tau Beta Pi and Sigma XII. Eight have
taken prizes and medals in collegiate
and inter-varsity debates and oratori-
cal contests, and one was Yale orator
for three years in succession. On two
occasions in half a century Chinese
have won Yale's highly priced De For
est medal for English literature.
One was the late DR.. Young Wing, of
Hartford, Conn.,, and the other was
Y. S. Tsao, the Yale orator. Chung
Nun Yew, formerly consul general at
Manila and now director general of the
Shanghai-Nanking railway was cox
vain of the Yale crew twenty years
ago. One edited the Columbia Specta-
tor and another the Pennsylvania.
Five played On football teams and one
on the Yale nine.

TITS peculiar thing, mann relates"
that capitalists and other wealthy men
almost uniformly seek the attention of

Next Years Golf Plans.

NEW YORK, Dec 13.--Golf plans fol
next year are very ambitious and lead
'ers who are not trying out their skill Oh
southern links are busy helping tc
work plans for 1914. Arrangements
ere being made to hold an extra event
at the next national open golf cham
pionship in the shape of a. team match
to be run off previous to the regular
tournament. 1t has been suggested
that team of ten homebreds meet a
team of ten professionals residing in
America, but not native born. Should
there ever be enough foreign salaried
men a three-cornered contest would
be arranged
Naturally the three most prominent
homebreds would be selected first, John
J. McDermott of Atlantic City, twice
the open title holder; Thomas L. Nc
Namara of Boston, former metropoli-
tan champion, and Michel j. Brady of
Wollaston.
Fred Mckay, the Canadian heavy
weight, has quit lighting" to become
matchmaker for a new club in Staten
Island. He'll probably make a better
matchmaker than white hope.

The Joy of life.
All the pathos of life isn't huddled
up in the Slums of big city, reports
from field agents of the department OF
agriculture show. Here's the story of
a little cripple whose only joy in life
is watching tomatoes grow. She lives
in Alabama and the field agent wrides.
Two young girl members of a tMma-
to club, with four friends set oua the
tomato plants for the little sic'E girl.
She was carried out in a chair to see
the fruiting plants, and with tears
down her face tried to ex-
tend her thanks"
Then there's another girl whose
father is so contrary that he makes
her do all the cooking and washing
for four laborers, and won't reward her
with even a few cans or new tops so
that she may help do some canning

club And little 12-year-oId girl in

Shortage In Wool Crop.

According to John D. Holiday of
Cascade, president Of the National
Wool Warehouse & Storage company
OF Chicago, there will be q shortage
In the worlds crop of wool this year
amounting TO not less than 175. 600, 600
pounds. This shortage should make
the western wool worth a. least o.
much as II was last year, irrespective
to tariff conditions.
Mr.. Holiday says there has been q
radical change OF conditions in Aus.
tralia which tend to decrease the wool
output OF that country, and to make
it less of a competitor of the United
States growers. But one advantage
the Australian growers have possess.
ed over the western growers of this
country, says Mr.. holiday, ia that
they have handled their focks more
efficiently, have been more careful In
breeding, more careful 10 balipg their
wool, and in other ways have observ.
ed better management.
