Bryan Raps
Dollar God

Washington, D. c., Feb. 25.--"Makiag
money is the drudgery of life, and no
one can afford to devote all his life
to drudgery. We must have higher
thoughts than those of money. We
must try to put something in as well
as take something out. 1t is gratifying
to feel that you have given as much
to the world as you have received"
declared Secretary of State Bryan last
night at banquet of the Retail Mer
chants association at the Shoreham.
Make the city of Washington wor-
thy to be the example anywhere and
everywhere" continued MIR. Bryan.
Let it be your boast that here there
can be no wrong which you do not
strive to remedy, no evil which you do
not set yourselves to drive out, no ad-
vantage which the city can enjoy which
you are not trying to obtain.
The fact that you cannot vote for
president should not bother you, when
you realize, as / do, that there are
about 7,00000O citizens in the country
who ought to be ashamed of the use %
which they once put that privilege You
should be consoled by knowing that
you can't fall into their error.
After all, happiness is not so de-
pendent on government | have been
happy, if you will believe me, under re-
publican administrations, and there are
today people who seem to be miserable
under good government"

try, by watching big leagues in action,

his first attempt in applying himself
From the test day to the last the
little foreigner was seen working carr
fully and earnestly with the Western
squad last spring in all earnestness
and determination to make some head
way at the game, and during this time
was considered as the Jim Thorpe CT
the Red and White crew, which was,
to say the least, quite a compliment.
Never was Choir afraid to stand up
to the plate, as was generally expected
and while a little awkward at first, 1t
was certainly surprising to see how he
developed as the season progressed
and at the end of the season he was 80
per cent better than when he started
Every one admired the nerve and
determination displayed on the part OF
Choir, and lot of these qualities are
necessary for a stranger to the game.

the latter part of the season he was
able to handle the deliveries of Brewer

Too much credit cannot be given him
for the showing made in his first at
tempt at the game and while it Is hard
" expected for him to compete in the
series this spring as a regular he will
in time be able to put up a creditable
game behind the bat You can bet on
this.
Some very funny coincidents were
the result of Chor's work with the
West enders, and the yriter remem-

off by him during the course of the

STRONGEST MAN
IN FOOTBALL
PENNSYLVANIA TEAM HAS WOND.
ERFUL GREEK, MICHAEL DOR
IZAS

Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 25.-College
football teams that have games sched-
uled with Pennsylvania next fall are
warned to prepare. betimes for som
real mussy afternoons.
The reason: Planted in the Red and
Blue line will be the strongest college
man in the whole world-Michae1 Dor
izas, a Greek, 224 pounds of solid bone
and muscle, who has just knocked all
college strength tests to smithereers
with the marvellous record of 1880
Who's When in real training Dorizas
expects to reach even the 1000 mark.
With this great strength the Greek
combines great agility and athletic
ability.
Dorizas, who is something of an in
tellectual giant as we'll as a physical
one, is being groomed for line posi-
ton by Coach George Brooks, who
gives the Greek daily instruction in
blocking, breaking through and other
fine points of the game on Franklin
Field
Dorizas has expressed himself as IN
love with the great gridiron game.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 25-"Buck"
Howard writing in the Washington
Herald, tells the interesting story OF
Choir Gu, the Chinese jim Thorpe
Says Howard;
"'Chor Ou,' was the answer given to
the captain of last years baseball team
at Western High in requesting the
most unusual candidate for any of the
Red and White mines in the history of
that sport to give his name.
From the structure of the name one
would conclude that Choir Gu is a ma
tive of China and to associate it with
the local high school teams of the Dis
trict is out of the ordinary, also quite
interesting.
"Chor, as he is Familiarity called By
the West Side beys, has been attending
that school for the last two years, dur
ing which time he has become popular
and has furnished an inestimabIe
amount of humor by his clever and
Entertaining sayings, in connection
with his surroundings which, as Il
foreigner, were altogether new to him.
At the same time, he has yet to become
offended at any classmate for being
amused at his plausible mistakes, and
this is the lone reason for his popu-
larity among the boys at Western.
Although generally known from the
first day Of his entrance, Choir jumped
into the spotlight when he decided to
try hand at baseball last spring, his
favorite American game. He became
acquainted with the diamond game
while at Honolulu, his first stopping
place on his way to the United States
five years ago, and there he saw two
teams play. largely composed OF
English merchants, but also few
Cinnamon were taking a hand,
Naturally he thought that If others
of his race could play baseball lie could

MRS. NICK LONGWORTH
SETS NEW FASHION

New York, Feb. 25.-A Washington
dispatch to the New York American,
says:
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth has intro
duced a new fashion fad. 1t is the knee
knot which she wears on most of her
gowns. The knot is copied by the lead
ing women of Washington. 1t consists
of a huge bow of ribbon with many
loops, which catches her draped skirt
in a bunch at her left knee.
Mrs. Longworth is wearing black
because of the recent death of her
grandmother, but nevertheless, her
gowns are Of the latest fashion.

tice game Chor managed to get to
first base after laying down neat
bunt. The old hidden ball trick ws $
successfully pulled by the Western
first sacker, and when touching Choir
and telling him he was out he i'm
mediately said that it was against the
rules and score of derricks could not
get him off the.base that he 50 proudly
earned.
There is one other interesting fact
in regard to Choir, namely, that he IS
able to tell on what team nearly every
man in both major leagues plays, and
many times he has undergone quizzes
in this respect.
"Chor will be seen with the Red and
White squad this year, and further de-
yelopment is looked for on his part,
even If he Is never a regular at Wes-
tern, he will have been just as vaIu-
able as the boys who played in that M

makes the varsity possible"

Carrier Boys Refused to Stay

If there was no dinner or supper last

carry out packages on bicycles. The
