York Liberty theater success. THE
Rainbow" and the seat sale indicates
one of the most brilliant apd notable
audiences Of the season to greet this
eminent actor-manager who has not
been seen in this city during the
dozen years that he has been among

plishment. the roles he has created
and the productions staged under his
direction placing him among the i'm

THE Rainbow IL said to be alluring

The star himself is declared to have
had nc role in his career more notable
than that of the big. virile man which
Mr.. Thomas has made the principal

twelve year heart quailed before this

his head down and listened for the

Again and again he bathed the pale

He must have help. But from

Shall a National Guardsman who
has taken a life in the discharge Of his
duty be tried by the civil courts or by
a military court? The question has
come up in Indiana, where liquor was
prohibited in camp. and the smusgler
of a bottle Of whisky was arrested
and shot while attempting to escape.
Sergeant Ball has been indicted by
the grand jury for murder in the first
degree. Arms and the man is con-
WINGED that he should be tried by a
military court. and hopes that this
case will become a precedent:

The Henry B. Harris estates pro-

four acts, THE Country Boy" will be
the attraction at the Metropolitan On

usual one In many respects and from

The play is said to be somewhat out
Of the ordinary from the fact that 1t
shows that success is not necessarily
to be found in the city. Mr.. seiwyn's
hero, a country boy, goes to New
York to gain the name and fame that

failure. Disappointed with, the OUT

BALANCES.

Golfers: Readers frequently pro-
test that Golfers is illogical in its
antagonism to liquor, since 1t accepts
the advertisements Of smoking tobac-
90. Smoking, they say, is a habit as
much az drinking, and deleterious In a
lesser degree only. True enough. COT
fee and tea also inspire habit, harm
full habit in many cases. Yet nobody
except. perhaps. that lofty purist of
the breakfast table, y1r. Post Of Pos
tum fame-would protest against the
sale and use Of these beverages. Eat
inr to excess is a habit with many
worthy, IL gluttonous. people. Giving
the word its radical and not it's limit
ed meaning. there is probably quite
n much intemperance in eating as in
drinking. though the results Are neith-
er as obvious nor as disastrous AL
most any exercise Of the human func-
tons may, by excess, become a bane-
full habit. 1t remains, therefore. for
the person who is called upon to es-
tabiish ethical standards for himself
and others to answer this fundamental
question: Does the good outweigh the
harm, or vice versa? In the cas- Of
liquor and drugs there IL no room for
doubt in our mind. Here the harm is
profound and Of infinite scope. With
tobacco 1t is different. Admitting
frankly that nicotine is a poison. and
that smoking is a habit Of considerable
tenacity. we believe. nevertheless. that

rives from 1t more beneft than dam

Life is based on compromise, says the
diplomat. Let us say rather that it
is based on an adjusted balance Of

told the exact time they have made
in each trial.
Every evening at the dinner table
my record book, in which are the
times and rating for the crew that
day. is assed around the table. Thus,
when a Cornell crew awaits the start
ter's gun, the men know just what
time they can make over the course,
also the times which former winners
have made, and they can tell pretty
well what their chances are in the
absence Of the unexpected.
There are no secrets between the
oarsmen and myself so far as the
way they are rowing is concerned,
and ! maintain this attitude right up
to the day Of the race. Then they
can figure out their chances as vol
as l.
Crew Reserves Energy.
In comparison with the work OF
the oarsmen at other universities or
with training ideas Of a quarter cen
fury ago. the work of the Cornell
crew men is light | truly believe
that they do less actual work than
the oarsmen at any other university.
They take no exercise aside from
rowing once a day in Ithaca ana
twice a day at Poughkeepsie.
Contrary TO very popular fallacy,
they do not walk up those Ithaca
hills. How often do We read that
Cornelrs aquatic success is due 10
the hills Of Ithaca. We have a spe-
cial car to take the oarsmen from the
boathouse, up the hill to the training
table after the days practice.
They never take long distance runs
or any form OF gymnasium work. l
give them plenty Of long distance
rows. and let it go at that. ! never
could stand those things when l was
in training. and I don't believe they
are good for the young men now.
We row twice a day at Poughkeep-
sic more to pass the time away than
for any other reason. AS far az train
ing is concerned, l would rather have
them row but once a day. for in fact
our real training period is about over
when we appear on the Hudson. only
the finishing touches are yet 70 be
nut on the combinations.
The chief points in favor OF the sec
ond trip are that It is another break
in the monotony OF the day, and that
IL gives the men an opportunity 70
get on the river in the afternoon at
the livellest time of the day and see
