THE GLAD GAME

All men admire the cheerful
gent who doesn't grumble worth
a cent when things are going
wrong. who doesn't nurse his
tr1ti1ng sores, but whistles as he
does his chores. or splits the air
with song. This worker hasn't
much to say as cheerily he tolls
away, and hoes his row of beans
he breaches to us bv his acts. and
not by handing Helpful Facts
through books or magazines. En-
ample is the stuff we need. for
admonitions gone to seed. and
precepts are bore; we're grow
ing tired of Sunny inns who
swing their jaws and wave their
limbs and preach forever more.
One man who does his little stunt
without a grumble or a grunt, and
beams with seemly mirth, does
more his brothers to inspire than
all the bards who swat the lvre,
or orators on earth. One sore
head, working in crowd, will act
upon it like a cloud that threatens
rain or snow: but one brave chap
'Vho gayly sings. the while his
busy hammer rings. will dissipate
its woe. The sermons that achieve
he most are sprung by men who
seldom boast OF how they sing
and dance, who wear the work
mans sweat-stained clothes, and
give their jaws profound repose
whene'er they have the chance.

railroad yards for shipment away or to
the storage house of the dealer up
town.
1t was stated that the dinky engine
and several of the boilers had been
sold for a. hundred times what was
paid for them, and were to be at once
shipped away. On the way uptown
one of the boilers fell from the dray
at the foot of 18th street and tied up
the Washington-Virgin line to Alex

LONG PIGEON FLIGHT.
Noted Washington Homers to Fly
From Montana to This City.

Several of the best long-distance racers
of Washington left last week for Glen
dive, Mont, where they will be released
today by the mayor of the town and
president of the national bank. These
pigeons have all had much experience in
long-distance races under various con-
ditions and from different race points, and
should they be successful in returning
they will establish record to Washing
ton and also from the west, if not for the
world. The air line distance, as deter
mined by the official surveyor, is over
1,5O0 miles. and a successful return will
perhaps pass through nearly half of the
states of these United States, several of
the great lakes. over the Mississippi river
and over the Allegheny mountains.
The task is a most difficult one, al
though not improbable, and it will be
interesting to learn where some of the
birds may stop on their way, for stop
they must, and. should they be fortunate
to fall into the hands of responsible
persons, will be fed and watered and
continued on their long journey. In
order to get some information of the
pigeons, J. Ed. Grille. sporting editor OF

of thirty-seven young men for enroll
ment in the service of their country.
They all qualified morally and mentally.
but by the time Surgeon Townsend was
through with the medical tests but seven
were found fit to wear the naval uniform.
The small proportion of applicants who
succeed in getting into the navy shows
how strict are the enlistment require
ments. One of the successful ones was
William Shipman OF this city. The 9TH
