An Episode of the Stage

MT. Victor Bridges, the author of "A Rogue by Compulsion,' which has just appeared under the Putnam imprint, relates an amusing story in connection with his early experiences as an actor. He had been on the stage for several years, managing "by some delightful miracle" to make enough to live on, when he was engaged to play the part of the Torturer in a version of "Notre Dame" produced by Charles Cartwright. He was made to look as unpleasant as possible, and among other duties he had to rack the heroine. After the opera tion had been performed. and she was lying a crumpled. mangled heap on the floor. he had to advance. and. pretend ing to kick her. observe brutally, Stand heretic!"
 At the first matinee at Islington, when he brought out this rather call lous command a dear old lady with violet bonnet strings. who was sitting in the front row of the stalls, leaped to her feet. darted up to the footlights brandishing an umbrella and yelled furiously. Give her a chair. you ugly little beastt'
 It sounds like an amusing testimony to the excellence of his acting. but this explanation MT. Bridges characterizes as Impossible" q was very bad ac- tor" he admits frankly, ''but had the good luck to find it out in time.''

If I was asked what form of exercise thought was the best, 1 would say boxing
 The good boxer must lead 8 regular life and that means good hours. Dissi- patton has ruined more great athletes than all other causes combined. So if you want to be good boxer, you must be in good physical health. And if you want health. strength and speed, you will have to train for it.
 By training (and I don't mean to so through the regular and severe course that is preparatory and preliminary to a great contesD, but I mean the sensible training that Is within the capabilities of every young man. whether he is work ing for living or not.
 Assume for the sake of argument that young fellow is employed during the day. Arising a half hour earlier in the morning would be no great hardship if he wanted to do so.
 The time so gained could be spent on road work one morning and indoor ex- ercise the next. It might, if his hours of business were long, come little hard at first but he would soon get used to to it and by that time he would so have improved his physical condition that 1t could stand many times the extra tax put upon it.
 Bear in mind that 30 minutes day will work wonders in three months and in even shorter time than that If the

The Southern Intercollegiate Athletic association, at one time the governing power of southern athletics, appears slowly to be nearing its end. Two fac tors are responsible for it's decay. The first is the one-year rule and the second is the summer baseball question
 There seems to be no doubt but that the $. l. A. A. is in the last lap of its race. 1t is almost certain that the pleas of different colleges will be turned down, thus leading more to its downfall.
 There is but one fact that the S. l. A A. authorities can rest their hope for President Riggs has hastily drawn up Eome amendments which he hopes will act as life savers for the association.
 President Riggs amendments are as fo,lows NO football player shall be eligible during the first year of his resi- dence at any college in this association, and shall not be eligible thereafter unless during the preceding session he has passed on 75 per cent of his college work"
 The other rule that would let down the OdTS IO lTcSHIu6u IS as lOllOWS. NO SUI dent shall participate in intercollegiate football in any game to which a member of this association is a party unless his standing is at least that of a freshmen without conditions or his first entrance to the college he represents was on at least fl Carnegie units.''

Pure Food in Germany

fTOm LeSlle $.
 Food! The pure food extremist would be in despair if he lived in Germany at pres ent. That country, which has the best health regulations in the world. and which has been famous for it's paternal legislation concerning everything the peo- pie did or thought or ate or drank, is fairly flooded with artificial foods It is considered triumph of science and pa triotism to be able to produce an artifi- cial food to take the place of some staple commodity of which there is a shortage due to the war. German newspapers are filled with advertisement of ''substitutes' for jam, marmalade, cheese milk, beer and coffee. The sale of real cream is for bidden, but resourceful Berlin chemist advertises a substitute for whipped cream which has in it no cream, milk, butter or chemicals, but only pure natural ingre- dients. And yet a few years ago a cer- tain famous chief chemist of our depart ment of agriculture would have prohibited the sale of all ice cream which was not made wholly of pure cream, and the

Romulus in A New Role

From the Chicago Herald.
 A Montana copper magnate made the grand tour of Europe just before the war. and on his return was given dinner by the chamber of commerce at Butte.
 One of the hosts, says a Chicagoan, who was present, asked the traveller what 1t was that most impressed him during his visit abroad.
 He reflected a moment and replied:
 'The sight that pleased me most was in Rome. It was a solid copper statue of a wolf nursing Romeo and Juliet.

BOXING IS BEST
 FORM OF EXERCISE

work is mapped out properly and done conscientiously.
 Don't cultivate big muscles, leave those to the weight filters. The ideal boxer wants strength and muscle, but he don t want to be muscle bound, that is one of main things to stay clear of.
 Keep away from big weights. Dumb bells should not be heavier than two pound each. Work with something that cultivates speed and the necessary strength will come with it.

"Ah, yes" nodded the professor
encouragingly, who was the victim of
all the lads in the vicinity who had
rareties or specimens to sell.
We'll, I've found something new"
What is it now?" Queried the pro-
fessor.
"a funny rock with 'scription.'
Inscription, you mean?"
Eyes, sir-prescription on it. Come
on and I'll show it to you"
The erudite antiquary eagerly &C
companied the boy. In the midst of a
dense growth of underbrush the boy
halted at a spot where a fiat stone
lay imbedded in the earth.
See, there's marks on it," he sub
mitted to his companion.

the professor, adjusting his glasses.
'Wen!"
"Glyphics, aren't they?" inquired
the boy.
"Hieroglyphics," corrected the pro-
lessor. why, what is this?" and he
carefully scrutinized three lines of
letters, evidently scratched on the
surface of the rock with some sharp
pointed instrument. "S-p-i-d, ali!

professor pressed a silver coin on the
lad. About to make off, the latter,
with fresh stare at the mystic in
scription, suddenly uttered whoop
of enlightenment.
"Oh, say!" he shouted, 81 see what |
it is. It's a name. Look, read it right |

why" he broke out suddenly, y
remember now"
Yes, Spider Brown was suggestive,
as the professor abruptly recalled.
Six months previously the village
bank had been broken into and some
cash and box of bonds secured. The
police had traced the burglar. His
name was Spider Brown, the crime
was proved against him and he was
sent to the penit )
Later, the PR 'Ssor recollected,
it became current news that while
part of the stolen money had been re+
covered, the box of bonds could not
be found. Spider Brown had admit
ted that the bonds in questions had
been a part of his plumber. He had
however, demanded a pardon and
enough money to take him out of the
community and few thousands Der
sides, as the price for turning up the
missing securities.
The bank people had. offered lib
eral reward for the recovery of the
bonds, but they were not willing to
reward crime, and thus, as the pro-
lessor now remarked, the situation
stood. .....
All this ran through his mind as he
carelessly prodded at the soil about
the rock. Undoubtedly, while wait
ing to consummate the burglary or
to hide after its commission, Spider
Brown had scrawled his name on the
rock. e
"Oh, dear mel" exclaimed the pro-
fessor, stepping back trifle as the
stone gave a tilt. His prodding had
revealed the fact that there was loose
dirt underneath it. And then he SOW
a glitter, a CLEAN. He pushed the
stone aside.

was wrenched off. He lifted it from
its hiding place. He timidly pushed
back the cover.

two of the railroads of this coun-
try-the LackaWanna and the
Union Pacific. One of the in
teresting things about this lat
est development in wireless is
that while they accomplish prac-
tically the same purpose, the
systems developed on the two
railroads differ radically in most
of their essential features. The
May Popular Mechanics des-
cribes the two systems as fol-
lows:
"On the Lackawanna Rail
road the wireless waves are
transmitted directly between an
tennae carried on the train and
the aerial at the railroad sta
tion, whatever the distance may
be, while the system developed
on the Union Pacific utilizes for
distance transmission two wires
strung on the telegraph poles
that parallel the track, SO that
the wireless waves are only re-
quired to bridge the gap be-
tween the telegraph line and the
antennae carried on the train, a
distance that rarely exceeds rs
#. and is usually less than so
feet"
That the system used on the
Lackawanna is a success has
been demonstrated by telephone
conversations recently carried on
over a distance of 27 miles be-
tween limited train running at
high speed and a wireless sta
tion at Binghamton, N. Y. The
aerial carried by this train con-
sists of four wires stretching
over four coaches and running
parallel with the roofs.
The system worked out on the
Union Pacific is designed for
talking both by wire and by
wireless. 1t is used for COM
munication between the differ
ent cars of the train, and it is
then operated as an ordinary
wire telephone with selective
talking and signaling. When the
train is stopped at a station, the
equipment is connected with the

there was sixty feet of Missis-

picion that there were alligators
about was we'll founded.
The preacher besought Jed to
swim, but in vain. Finally he
called out:

BEHINDHAND ON ROADS

The great state Of Minnesota
is far behind other states as far
as good roads go. California,
Oregon, Washington states can
put to shame any other section
in building good roads. Even
the smallest towns have expend-
ed much money in providing
good roads in every direction.
Why, one county in California
has voted S5,000,O00 for roads.
The roads on the coast are Of
wonderful and lasting construc-
ton and are kept in perfect or
der. 1t is a pleasure to ride over
them and riding in autos is q
recreation.
So converted am I to the good
road proposition that I firmly
believe that should the state of
Minnesota appropriate the i'm
mense sum of $10,000,000 for
this purpose it would be the best
investment ever made. Mime
sofa needs good roads today
more than anything else and the
sooner they are built the better.
No one who visits the coast but
returns home an advocate of
good roads, no matter if the cost
runs up in the millions. 1t is
time the state awoke to the con-
dition.-Anoka Union.
