TOMAHAWK BEATEN.
High School Team Easily Trims North
erners-Second Tean Loses.

Last Friday evening the high school
first team was victorious over the
Tomahawk five at Tomahawk. Leay-
Ing here at 500 Friday morning the
boys had plenty of time TO see the
town and the high sch6ol before the
game in the evening.
A new kind of game was played be-
cause of the size of the Tomahayk
gymnasium. Our boys were acc'ls-
toned to having an out of bound line,
but nevertheless they were victorious
by score of 40 to "A.
During the game Charles Pond and
Joseph Pope colided, each receiving
a severe cut near the eye. A doctor
was at hand and the boys were soon
bandaged. If they can keep the cuts
from breaking open no danger will
come of them.
The second team, at Edgar, met
with luck not quite as good and lost
by score of Il to Is.

In "a Motor Tour Through Canada"
the author tells this story, as 1t was
told him at the club In Regina, Of a
man who had been caught by a cy-
clone while taking a bath.
His bathroom was instantaneously
demolished, and before he could scraln-
BILE out of his tub he found himself
sailing over the city on the breeze at
fifty knot clip. He was always
man Of quick resources and ready ex-
pediency. That's why. no doubt, the
cyclone picked him out Of the crowd.
Anyhow, he never once lost his pres
ence IF mind in spite of his Lady Gooi-
va appearance. but he seized hold Of
the hot and cold taps with both
hands and started steering his craft
Would you believe it, he found 1t an
swered the helm like a catboat, and he
at once turned 1t point or two so as
to bring him to the waterworks. There
he descended, filed the tub again and
calmly finished his interrupted bath!

There is something most refreshing
to the colder northern races In the ex-
citable and volatile Latins," said
George Hamlin recently. I'VE had a
delightful exhibition of this quality
when we first reached Milan. We en-
tered a cafe celebrated as much for
the artists who frequent 1t as for its
excellent cuisine and had barely given
our order when our attention was at
tracted to a nearby table, where two
liners were engaged In what was EVIL
IDENTIFY very serious discussion.
Presently the voices grew lOn6ar
and more passionate, and the two men
looked positively violent as they half
rose from their seats and glared at
each other ferociously across the table.
We became decidedly uneasy. Vendet-
tas, stilettos and such Italian appur-
tenances are all picturesque enough In
grand opera, but we did not care to
have our dinner punctuated with deeds
of carnage
I'm the meantime all the other din
ers had stopped eating and were gaz-
ing with interest toward the scene Of
alteration. Gradually they abandon
ed their dinners altogether and came
over to take sides with the disputants.
Even the walters forsook their posts
and attached themselves TO one side
or the other Surely we thought anx-
iously, this quarrel must involve the
honor of the whole nation
"By this time the din was fearful.
A score or more of excited men were
shouting at each other across the small
table, hrandlshlng furious fists in each

tasted before us; all appetite had van
ished. We chung to our chairs, too
terror stricken TO fee for our lives,
even though we felt desperate con
viction that massacre was at hand
and our minutes were numbered.

on the table vigorously and yelled
some noises which sounded ike pack

an instant's silence. and then the whole

Y. N. c. A. NOTES.

The f. o. B. committee of the boys
department has been very successful
in making money so far this year.
The progressive chairman of the COM
mittee, John Manson, Jr., states that
an amount of almost eighty dollars
has been taken in and that of this
amount thirty dollars is clear profit
off of the candy counter which was
put in about a month ago. The
amount taken during last year for
other boys was ten dollars so that
with only month or so of the new
year gone three times that much is
on credit.
There was TO Valy Forum meeting
last week but this evening the debat-
ing club will come together. In all
probability an extemporaneous sub
ject will be discussed.
About the middle of this month
there will be an exhibition of gymnas-
tic classwork in the Y gym. All
classes, the juniors, seniors, informed
iates and business classes, will partic-
ipate in giving the public an idea of
what is being done in physical train
ing.
Last tuesday evening the high
school discussion groups met and after
most delicious dinner very enthus-
istic discussions were entered into.
This evening the club will meet and
have supper. Every member is asked
to try to be in attendance at the
meetings as those at the head are
very DESTROYS of increasing the aver
age attendance.
The Y. NJ. c. A. Glee club gave a
supper last Wednesday evening at the

B. F. Keith's,

One of the best vaudeville bills that
has ever been presented at B. F. Keith s
Theater opened there this week. Every
act is q good one, although it might be
wished that Trixie Friganza, the comic
opera star headliner. had more of a We
hicle for her entertaining talents. Her
-.song-talk' description, however, of the
Indian squaw who became a suffragette
made a great hit
Jesse L. Lasky brought back THE Red
Heads" a one-act musical piece which
gives opportunity for some good light
music and the display of quantities of
handsome gowns, to share honors with
Trixie F'riganZa, as sort of assistant
headliner, which it did. Charles Olcott
in "a little humorous chatter about comic
opera" called "A Comic Opera in Ten
Minutes" also earns distinction. even if
his name is not in the largest type. Mr..
Olcott kept his audience laughing every
second he was on the stage and it SEEM
ed hard to let him go.
Chester Kingston p esented some novel
tricks in the way of tying himself in
knots. Theo Lightner and Dolly Jordan
sang a number of songs well. Joe Keno
and Rose Green contributed some light
hearted singing and dancing, and Con

men, from the Berlin Wintergarden, con-
stltute the extraordinary headline offer

is one of the most attractive and at the
same time the largest acrobatic Offering
ever presented at the Casino, where 1t is
seen in this city for the first time. The
dramatic sketch. Harold Selman's ''1O:4O

presented by Paul Pelletier, Sherry Sny-
der and Mae Rose Clarke. The famous
Zoyaras. with d remarkably intelligent
dog. present clever feats of globe rolling
up and down stairs and some unusual
feats of equilibrism: Bob Warren has
some new songs. which he sings in way
to win laughter and applause, and Fred
and Bessie Lucier are clever in sketch
called Love Powders, the one as
country fiddler and the other as Miss
Gibby Cab. The added feature last night,
