Laugh With U.

James Oliver Curwood, a novelist,
tells of an encounter with the law
The value of a short story he was
writing depended upon a certain legal
situation which he found difficult to
manage. Going to a lawyer of his &C
quaintance. he told him the plot and
was shown a way to the desired end.
You've saved me just $780," he ex-
claimed. for that's what l am going
to get for this story"
A week later he received a bill from
the lawyer rs follows: For literary
advice. $500" He says he paid.
Mrs. Mason's colored washerwom-
an, Martha, was complaining of her
husbands health.
Why. Is he sick. Martha" asked
Mrs. Hanson.
Hes ve'y poly. ma'am. ve'y
poly" answered the woman. les
got the explanatory rheumatism."
You mean inf1ammatory. Martha"
said the patron. Explanatory means
to cry out"
Yes. ma'am," replied Martha. with
conviction: ''dat's what it is. He hol-
lers all the time"
1t was a soiree musical. A singer
had just finished "My Old Kentucky
Home"
The hostess, seeing one Of her
guests weeping in a remote corner,
went to him and inquired in a SYM
pathetic voice:
Are o a kentuckian?
And the answer quickly came: mo.
madame. I am a musician"
The talk topic in the lobby of a
Washington hotel The other night
turned to modern dances, when Con-
gresham Robert Crosser of Ohio told
of an incident relative to a party
named Brown.
Brown, the congressman said, att
tended Il party one night, but being
quite heavy n rather awkward, he
was unfortunate in finding most Of
the dance cards filled. Consequently
his evening was largely spent sitting
amid the papiermache palms watch
ing the other dancers.
"Oh. Mr.. Brown" effusively cried a
sweet young thing, gracefully chasse-
ing before him some time later. What
in the world are you doing sitting
mere? Why aren't you dancing?"
No fault of mine, Miss Smith,"
volubly fibbed Brown. You must
blame the DOCTOR"
Blame the doctor!" returned the
sweet young thing. Il don't under
stand"
Il am drinking cream for my
health. Miss Smith," explained Brown,
and he is afraid that I might tango
1t into butter"

New York Dec. 22.-All signs point to
an active season for college rowing IN
1918 Efforts are being made by vari-
ous bodies and individuals throughout
the country to establish the sport upon
q broader and more stable foundation
and it is believed that more crews Will
be on the water next spring than ever
before
The recent organization Of the coll
legiate rowing association is expected
to greatly increase the popularity OF
rowing in the east The new ASSOCIATION
Is intended to serve double purpose
to promote interest in rowing among
the colleges and schools OF the country
and to establish an annual clear1ns
house for managers to arrange early
season races
The managers of crews will CO.
operate to increase and promote the
interests of rowing among the prepar-
atory schools of the country to estab-
schools which now do not have rowing
as a part OF their athletics and to in
crease the interest in rowing in those
schools that do
Another advantage OF the clearing
house system is that a greater num-
Der of crews may be brought together
and races may be more easily arranged
between representative crews.

In the opening game the College Hill
men won by the score of p to l. How
ever, the railroaders came back with
dash and took the second q to IL.
The third game went to College Hill
p to 4, and the fourth to the trainmen
q to 10.
In the last game both teams were out
to win and the score was nip and tuck
to the very last The College Hill
players got off in the lead and then
dropped back. At the fifteen point
stage they again tied the score and
added two more points, but the work OF
Boone and Kay put the Railroaders out
with a margin Of four points.
It is probable that a return game will
be played sometime after the first Of
