Cochran to Build Defender.

Alex Smith Cochran will take up sin
gle handed his part Of the defense Of
the Americas cup. The Yonkers IN.
" sportsman. who for nine years has
been a member Of the New York Yacht
club. has commissioned William Gard
ner to design a sevcnty-ive foot sloop
yacht to take part in the trial races.
Mr.. Gardner has designed many fast
racing yachts, and the only condition
imposed by Mr.. Cochran is that he
shall not accept IN order from any 9TH
er yachtsmen or syndicate to design
another sloop for the same purpose.
No limit is placed on the amount to
be expended for the new boat, the or
ders being to produce the fastest yacht
possible under the present rule Of the
New York Yacht club. The builder Of
the yacht has not been announced.
Mr.. Cochran is by no means a novice
in the racing of fast yachts. He had
the schooner Westward designed and
built for him by Herreshoff in 1910.
This yacht crossed the ocean and de-
feated the best boats in England and
Germany. After winning the kaiser's
cup at Cowes the Westward came here,
raced for n season and then was sold
to a German yachtsman.

New Baseball Deal?

In Philadelphia was circulated q story
that Connie Mack of the Athletics had
traded Outfielder James Walsh to the
New York Americans as part Of a deal
by which Frank Chance sent Claude
Derrick to the Baltimore club, partly
owned by Mack. last year. When
President Farrell of the New York
Americans was asked about the sup
posed deal he declared that. while he
hadn't actually signed papers that
would make Walsh his property. some
thing might come of it later on.
THE report is Il trife premature"
said Farrell. land l only wish that l
~ould confirm it. 1t is true that last
summer when Chance let Derrick go
to the Baltimore club he asked Mack
to let him have an outfieldrr. one of
six then wearing Athletic uniforms.
Mack ut first couldn't see it. but as he
needed Derrick in Baltimore he finally
named three players from whom
Chance could make a selection. and
Walsh was among. them"

take the end of Il p%enholder or any

write some word in thick letters on a
piece of light paper.
You must take pains to see that
every letter is joined together so that
there is a continuous line. If you
write more than one word on the APP

the paper dry and the writing will be

at either end Of the paper so hat you
can make it stand on one edge. Now
set it upright on a platter or some

apply the tip of a bit of lighted punk

appointment as station agent at Owl
plains not far from the Rocky noun
tains. jim had another surprise. The
salary as station agent at Owl Creek
junction was laid down as $50 a month.
which was a good deal more than he
had been getting.
With a sad heart he started for
his new field of labor. On the way
he asked about Owl Creek junction
and learned that it was looked upon
as II Of the most promising points on
the road. True. at the time the popu-
lation in the vicinity were a lawless
lot, such as usually p%recedes the better
class who begin the real development
Of new countries. But the branching
Of a great th%oroughfare was sure in
time to make Owl Creek junction a
city.
This welcome encouragement caused
hope to arise in the breast of James
Perkins. He had $50 that he had
saved when he expected to marry
Laura Bingham. and he resolved to
invest it as Soon as he arrived in a
town lot. He did not expect to get a
lot for so small an amount in the cen
ter Of the place. but would be salts
fed with n on the outskirts.
Hopeful youth that leads one on
through dreams to realities. ending ell
! Their in success or failure, After all.
are not such visions better than pes
simism, which undertakes nothing, &C.
:omplishes nothing?
The nearer jim got to Owl Creek
junction the more he learned about it.
One bucket of cold water after anoth-
er was dashed owe him till he received
the bucket itself. which struck him
with such force as to stun him. The
conductor in charge of the last section
Of the road gave him Il true picture of
Owl Creek junction and made it plain
TO him why he had been appointed
agent there.
The nearest house to the junction
was a mile. The country round about
was infested with j~ayhawkers and
horse thieves. No agent at the rail-
way station had thus far been able to
collect money for tickets from 80 per
cent of the persons who Travelled on
the road. They either demanded tick
cts without pay at the point of the
revolver or used the same implement
to pass the conductor without paying
a fare. But the usual method was to
call for a ticket at the station. get
their hands on it and walk away, for
getting to leave the cash for it. There
had been five agents within six
months. Now the last one appointed
was eagerly waiting for his successor.
Jim received this terrible backset
shortly before the train drew up at
Owl Creek junction, and his heart
sank down into his boots. When the
train stopped at his new home he
looked upon as desolate a sight as he
had ever seen in his life. There were q
station, a water tank. a fuel house and
nothing else except an open stretch OF
country inhabited principally by the

Honesty In School.

You and l know that there are
boys. and girls. too. who crib writes
Walter Prichard Eaton, taking up a
delicate but important subject in an
article on The Scout In School, in
Boys Life.
"A girl in my class had Il geography
under her feet covered by her skirt in
an examination and kept dropping her
pencil. She got 9S, and l never had
any use for her after that.
"A good scout will never crib. A
good scout ought never to have any
use for a boy or girl who does crib.
II don't mean that you should squeal
on a cribber. There is a better way
than that.
Gust let him know what you think
of him. and just let him understand
that he is no better than any other
liar; that he has stolen, not money, but
a good mark. which is just as bad,
Scouts should lead in school in Great
ing a sentiment for honesty, for honor.
If you do that by and by nobody will
dare to crib. and you will have brought
this about yourselves without turning
squealer and going to the teacher"

A Trick For Bows,

Most boys like to do tricks Of magic
and "sleight of hand" so here is a
very simple trick that any n of you
can do after a little practice. 1t is
called %"spinning the handkerchief"
Of curse you wouldn't use your own
handkerchief. Ask some boy to lend
you his, and pretend to select one with
great ear saying, 1T is first of all
necessary to get the right kind Of
handkerchief" After you have picked
out me throw it in the air. catch it on
the end of a stick that you are twirl-
ing, and when the handkerchief
spreads out to it's full size spin it
around rapidly.
The secret of being able to do this
is that there is Il needle or pin in the
end of the stick. which catches the
handkerchief and prevents it from
falling off. The pin should be put in
so that the sharp point extends out
about a half inch.
The stick should have a smooth sur
face. 50 that it will rotate easily in the
hand. If it is polished or vanished
so much the better. 1t will require a
little practice before YOU are able to
catch the handkerchief in the middle
and with the pin going through one
thickness only. If it goes through two
or three thicknesses a fold results and
your audience will notice the pin. You
need to do some practicing before at
tempting to do this trick in public.
