don't know. If l keep on feeling as
fine as l do now, guess I'm good for
long time; maybe ten years or more.
I feel better right now than did many
times when l was younger"
Geers has been driving and handling
horses for more than thirty-five years.
In that time he has seen many drivers
come and go. He has seen them be-
come famous in a day, flash along bril-
liantly for time and fall into OBSCURE
ty. He has seen steady performers in
their prime and decline. He has seen
drivers at their best and at their
worst. He has been able to observe
his own work carefully and note the
changes with the passing years. There
fore, he is probably the best judge of
at what time man is at his best in
the business.
He estimates that he has been in
about 5000 races since he started to
handle the reins. During the last few
years he has figured in about seventy
five races a season. Geers is now an
institution. He was born in Lebanon,
Tenn, January %, 1851. He drove his
first race at fair in Mobile in 1878.
Yearly since he has made pilgrimages
out of the South with his fine stables
and literally set the racing. world on
fire with his deeds.

GOOD OUTLOOK FOR FUTURE
Number of Coliege-Trained Men in
Business Is of the Highest
Significance.

There was a time when half the col
lege graduates of America became
clergymen, and when the legal ant
medical professions swallowed VI
nearly all the other half Now, less
than per cent of the men who com
plete college courses go into the min
istry, and the three learned profes
sions" together number only minor
ity of the college-trained population
of the country.
This illustrates not only the rapid
spread of higher education in the Uni
ted States, but the way in which so
ciety is constantly differentiating into
more and more diverse occupations
Go back far enough in history, anC
there was but one trained profession
the ecclesiastical. In more recent
times there were three-law, medicine
and the church. Today, no one knows
how many lines of effort deserve the
name of learned"
In fact, business itself is rapidly ap
preaching the status of a profession
both in the learning required and in
the ethical standards which are being
set up to guide the business man. II
is this fact, quite as much as faith in
legal enactments and prohibitions
which makes the average citizen look
for more fair play in the future than
ever has prevailed in the past

Edward Franklin ("Pop'O Geers, the
noted harness driver and trainer,
would rather engage in a fox hunt
than ride in the grand circuit races.
He admitted this much in the course
of an interview.
Eyes, horse racing is the most excit-
ing sport in the world" said Geers,
''but for the real thriller give me a
fox hunt. 1 believe there is more
pleasure to be obtained in chasing the
elusive little animals than in anything
else of which l know"
However, Pop" is not a traitor to
his first love, the race track. He still
retains warm spot in his heart for
the game that will know him as long
as he is able to climb into a sulky,
else he would not be driving now.
"Pop" is sixty-three years old, but
he doesn't look it. His features are
Drowned with the accumulated tan of
many years spent in the open under
hot suns. His color is healthy and his
bearing the same. His eye is clear
and calculating, his hand is steady,
and he appears to be good for many
years to come.
Asked point-blank just how much
longer he intended to drive, Pop" an

men throughout the country: "Oh, !

G00D-BY TO ENGLISH GAME
University of Southern California Last
School on Coast to Return to
Rugby of American Type.

Since a reform wave struck Ameri-
can football about a decade ago a
number of American colleges have
tried substituting the English type
of rugby for the college game. - The
stronghold of the English importation
has been among institutions along the
lower Pacific coast.
AS consequence they were heard
of in an athletic way only in the
spring track games. Now there is a
strong tendency on the coast to get
rid of the alien sport. The University
of Southern California is the last
school to announce a return to rugby
of the American type. The athletic
management characterizes the English
sport as "a comparatively monoton-
GUS game" and describes it as much
rougher than the college variety.
The trouble seems to lie in trying
to substitute purely foreign sport for
one that has been developed under
American conditions. Games are nee
esSarily reflection of the character of
a people, and the English character is
somewhat different from that of the
American. AS long as American foot
ball was busy reforming itself there
was chance for the British importa.
ton. Now that the great autumn
sport of the colleges has been trimmed
of the "old army game" brutalities it
looks like gOod-by to the English va
riety.

SAvINGAN OUTCAST
BY MARAH ALICE PETERS.



''For good or bad the world all be-
before me! Freedom, health-which
path shall take?''
The man who spoke was an ex-con-
vict. He had just been released from
the penitentiary after serving ten
years sentence for ENLIGHTENMENT. He
was not thirty-five, yet his hair was
streaked with gray and there was a
certain hardness about the lips that
comes from solitude and resentment.
In a word, Mark Burnham, with lit
tie or no bringing up, an orphan from
tender age, had wasted five years OF
his life, had secured good position.
Finally temptation had come, he had
appropriated funds of his employer
and had been convicted
During all those years of hard labor
he had preserved a stolid, rather than
a submissive attitude. He had count
ed the days on a notched stick The
last one had been reached. He was
freed with a new suit of clothes and
a few dollars in his pocket. At the
door of the prison he was met by a
lawyer. A distant relative had left
him $4,000. A free man, he could
now claim it.
The snug little fortune or its equiv
alent now reposed within a secret
pocket. That afternoon he had walked
to line of hills overlooking the coun-
try around, to analyze his unexpected

Early Dams on the Nile.

What the British are undertaking in
the Nile country, in the Introduction OF
irrigation plans, was carried out to an
interesting extent about $500 years
ago by King Menes. He is credited
with the earliest irrigation works,
when dykes were made on the west
bank of the Nile to retain the food wa
tiers on the land for longer period,
the east bank being left open for the
inundation to spend itself freely. Two
thousand years later Amenemhat III
extended the same system of "basin ir-
rigation" to the east bank, and in order
to ward off the danger of a high flood
he made Lake Moeris where is now the
Fayum. Into this great artificial lake,
one of the wonders of the world at that
period, the high waters were allowed
to escape, and from it, when the crest
of the flood had passed, the basins OF
lower Egypt were kept supplied, with
out danger Of overlooking.

When charIemasne Took a Bath

Like so many of the European
warm springs and Earthquakes,
Baden-Baden was first appreciated by
the Romans. Emperor Caracalla, in
especial, honored it by his patron
age and adorned it in various Roman
ways. With the fall of the empire
and the arrival together of the bar
barians and Christianity, bathing, and,
above all, bathing in warm water, fell
into disuse all over Europe as an en-
feebling and immoral practice. 1t was
only when Charlemagne, whose name
was one to conjure with, dipped his
imperial person in the hot springs of
Aix-la-Chapelle that bathing, after
seven centuries of disuse, became
again permissible, if not almost de-
sirale. From that time on, with vary
ing fortunes, aden-Baden was a
