waiting outside the bank.

Hammond, La, Sept. All thi

sion OF Warren Hemp, an immigrant to
this city from Giles county, Miss.
Warren stands six feet in his stock

that he couldn't pass a pile of un-

Hemp is so tall that he's above
the wiles and snares of modernizei
fashions. Ladies in diaphanous skirts
pass him on the streets every day, bu.
he asserts he hasn't noticed anything

When mother was a girl she never
Wore clothes through which a man
could see;
She says she did not think it clever
To have her skirt split to the knee;
She never smoked cigarette
Nor drank cocktails On a bet.
When mother was a girl she thought
A sin for maidens to drink wine;
She says father never bought it
When he and she sat down to dine.
She would have tainted on the spot
Had she been asked to turkey trot
When mother was a girl she never
Wore heels that were three inches
high;
She made no use of slang whatever,
But was proper maid and shy;
The tango never made her glad
How dull a time she must have had

ROBBED
 BY ONE OF BANDSMEN.
Custodian of Jaokies' Funds Disappears
 With About S3.O0O.

Rome, Nov. 1.-The bluejackets of the United States battIeships Utah and Delaware, now at ViIlafranche, and of the Vermont and Ohio, at Marseilles, through misplaced confidence may miss a trip to Rome, for which they have been making preparation. Alfonso Cal derozzo, former bandsman on the Utah, on recommendation of Chaplain William H. l. Reaney, was made the custodian of the funds which the sail ors set aside for this purpose. He col lected in all about $3 900.
 IL was reported to Chaplain Reaney this morning that Calderozzo could not be found. In the afternoon Gerald A. Griffin, .paymaster's clerk of the Utah arrivedSat Rome. He said he had met Calderozzo at Ventimeglia, on the F'ranco-Italian frontier The latter ex- plained that he wOuld[not be able 'tO fulfill his obligations to the sailors, and Griffin urged him to telegraph i'm mediately to the captains of the bat tleships a full explanation of the sit uation.
 Chaplain Reaney, after hearing this story, left immediately for VilIafranche to ascertain all the facts in the case He said he would reimburse the sail ors, if necessary, and added that even the Protestant chaplain, on his sugges- tion had entrusted Calderozzo with funds which he had collected from some of the Protestant sailors.

BIC SHAKE-UP IN HARVARD ELEVEN
Changes Five Positions and One Man Dropped From Reg ulass-Hardwick Goes to Right End and Capt Storer Left Tackle-Mahan Expected to Do Punting in Big Games
A1aE7eS.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 11.-It was a changed Harvard varsity eleven which went through practice in the. stadium today. As a result of their obsefva- tions of the Crimson team in action against Princeton last Saturday, the coaches gave it a shaking up that was almost general Changes were made in five positions, but only one man was dropped -Cowan, who had played at left guard being @relegated to the sub stitutes.
 ''Tael5s" HardwicIx was moved from left halfbaelS to right endi Captain StoFer from right end to his old posi- ton at left tackle; Hitchcock from left tackle to right tackle his former place, and Gilman from right tackle to left guard. The strong defensive game of Bradlee, a substitute back, in the Princeton game was rewarded by giV- ing him a regular position at left half back.
 Soucy at center is regarded as a sub- stitute, the place being held open for TrumbuA as soon as he is in shape again to fill it. TrumbuIl is expected to get into the game again tomorrow, when the first of two heavy scrnn- images in preparation for the game with Brown next Saturday will take place.
 There was no scrimmage this alter noon, the time being given over to a signal drill planned with a view to getting the men accustomed to their new positions AIahan again practiced bunting, the height of his spirals being measured by the coaches with the aid of two wires stretched across the top wires, which are about 60 feet high, several times Mahan, it was said, will do all the Crimson bunting in the Brown and Yale games

SIXTH INTERCOLLEGIATE
 CROSS COUNTRY RUN.
Harvard, Cornell, Vale and Princeton
 Believed to Be Formidable.

New York. Nov. 11.-TeaTns of long distance runners representing thirteen of the larger universities and colleges, with one from the middle west, have been entered to compete. in the sixth annual cross country race of the ln- tercolleg1ate Association of Amateur Athletes of America, to be held over the Van Cortlandt Park course in this city on Saturday, Nov. 9. The list as announced by H. A. Fisher includes the teams of Harvard, Cornell Yale Princeton, Pennsylvania Dartmouth, Michigan, Syracuse, Brown, Colgate Penn State, Columbia, Massachusetts Technology and College of the City of New York
 The race, which is over a circuit ap- proximately six miles in length, will be one of the SeVerest tests required of the college distance runners in several years. Three miles of the race will be run over turf. one and half miles over dirt roads, one mile over soft n1acadam, and the remainder over hard macadaln and rough roads or trails.
 With another week remaining for the finishing touches in training, the out come of the contest for the champion ship title is very much in doubt Judg- ed on their early season form and re- suits in the various dual meets to date, Harvard Cornell, Yale and Princeton appear to be the more for midable contenders. Michigan is the only representative from the middle west, and although the Wolverines are not preceded by any sensational re- ports, the well known ability to devel Op long distance runners at Ann Ar bOr puts the Michigan entry in the role of dark horse for the coming contest

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
AN UPWARD SWING.
Gains of Day Partially Wiped Out Dur
 ing Closing Hour.

New York, Nov 11-Quotations moved upward on the stock exchange today as abruptly as they declined yes terday. There was no sign of the li Quida ton which was the most disQuiet- ing feature of the preceding session, and both railroad and industrial shares advanced strongly. Higher prices were well maintained until the last hour when@ swift reaction cancelled large part of the days gains.
 The change in the market apparent ly was due primarily to the strong technical position. The abrupt slump yesterday brought down prices to . level which. encouraged operations for the long account. It was evident moreover. that the short interest, largely increased on the recent decline was susceptible to attack, and the effect of covering was apparent in the swift upturn of the first hour, when the main movement occurred.
 Outside influences played little part in shaping the course of the market, although the more cheerful view which was taken of the Mexican sit Buying for foreign account helped in the upward swing. London traded here freely taking bout 12 000 shares on balance. The copper stocks were benefited by the rally in copper metal abroad. Bear traders sought to make ca pital of the arbitration boards award of an increase in wages to con ductors and trainmen on the eastern railroads 1t was contended on the other hand that the decision would arm the railroads with another argu- ment in favor of increased freight rates. New Haven securities were stimulated for a time by the refusal of the Massachusetts courts to enjoin the issue of S67 000, 900 debentures, but the stock later fell back again, It's relapse was influenced by expectations of a cut in the dividend at the forth coming meeting of directors
 Bonds were irregular Total sales par value. $2,246,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call.
