STARTING A BRIDGE.
The Boy Who Was Good kiteflicr
Camo In Handy IL

Some years ago there died in Ncbras-
IN q man named Walsh, who as boy
started suspension bridge. When
Walsh was about ten years old the
tlrst steps for the construction of the
suspension bridge at Niagara We're tax
Ell. The first thing necessary was the
stretching of single wire across the
chasm. The engineer In charge had
thought OF n way to get 1t across.
What boy is the best kitefier in
town. he asked.
The Walsh boy was named as the
best kiteilier in the town of Niagara
Falls, and the engineer accordingly
asked that lie be brought to him. He
was made to understand that he must
fly his kite across the Niagara river.
He flew it across and allowed it to
come down on the other side. Men
were there to seize it. Then the en-
gineer attached wire to the string on
his side, and the men on the other side
detached the kite and by means Of the
string drew the wire across. BY this,
In turn, cable was drawn across. and
the bridge was well begln.--IIarper's

A FAMOUS MISER.
Cooke Died Wealthy After Lite OF
Petty Saving and Trio&cTy.

Thomas Cooke. known rs the 'lsling-
ton miser." left at his death more than
100000 His whole life was one OF pen
ury, petty saving and petty frickery.
He made it habit III order to get
meals for nothing to fall In pretended
fit in front of house at dinner time
aud on recovering he would naturally
be invited to share the meal. which he
always did after the proper amount of
protestation. Often he would pretend
to these kind people that they had saw
ed his life. would make Il great fuss
over them ana tell them lie intended
to remember them or their children IL
his will.
One man, poor relation, occasional
y sent him small presents OF butter.
This angered Cooke, who said TO him:
"Why send me such driblets. you who
are to get thousands and thousands at
my death? Send me a iirkin." The
firkln and several more were sent. but
neither this legacy nor any of the 9th
ers came TO reality.
Like many men shrewd in petty
ways, he was easily deceived in mat
tiers out of his own line. Thus once
when his horse was sick he was too
mean to pay horse doctor and asked
advice of a quack. who told him he
must take thirty onions. drill a hole
through each. put them on n string. put
the necklace around the horses neck
and let it stay there. The expense OF
thirty onions was too much; he bought
fifteen. and when, after many days.
they had served their purpose, he took
them to the servant and ordered her to
make an onion porridge for the days

SECURE AGAINST BLOCKADE.
No Navy In the World Big Enough to
Patrol All Our Seaports.

Apropos of blocliades the United
States occupies unique position
among nations. A blockade of its sea-
ports is absolutely impossible. There
are not ships enough i'll the world to
achieve it. Between Bangor, in Maine,
and Corpus Christi, in Texas, there are
forty ports connected by rail with the
vast network of iron rail which ex-
tends over all parts of our country.
There are forty ports where cotton
and wheat and cattle and canned and
sailed foods could be placed on ship
board, and foreign power could no
more blockade all of them ut once than
1t could proven. the shad and the sal
mon from swimming up our rivers to

In the event of war we would be i'm
mune from invasion except from Cana
Ga. Invasion of any great nation, or
at least continued armed occupation of
tie soil of any great nation which is
separated by an ocean from its advcr-
sary, is practically an impossibility.

If the men who are responsible for
the style" of writing news stories
for Vermont newspapers will give the
subjeeG little thoughtful lcpnsidera-
tion they might perhaps arrive at the
conclusion that they are blamable, is
a small measure, for q certain kind of
crimes, the Burglaries committed by
young boys. Recently a 15-year-old
boy living in Elmore was proved to
have been the prepetrator of q num-
ber' Of breaks in the night and was
sentenced to the industrial school, at
ydgeunes. In reading the account
of the lads arrest and punishment
as it appeared in the, Vermont papers
one could not fail to fbe impressed
with the fact that the STORY" was
written with a view to bringing out
the daring nerve Of the culprit in
stead of putting the stress upon the
enormity uf the offences. Readers of
mature years are capable of sitting
news of this nature but to the youth.
with hayward tendencies it is apt to
act as stimulus to that spirit of
brayado which is inherent in many
verile youngsters and do irreparable
harm. Reduced to the fianal analy-
sis the mental and physical character
istics which prompt night thief to
dare death from watchman's bullet
and which enable an officer of the law
to risk his life in the performance of
his duty are much alike. Circum-
stances and environment might put
the two in reverse positions, and it
is because of this fact that writer's of
news particularly are under an obli-
cation not to convey wrong impress

the impressionable and more or less
irresponsible age

One of the penalties resulting from
a war large enough to involve any
considerable number of the male in
habitants of nation is the spirit OF
lawlessness engendered. This was
strikingly demonstrated at the close
of the civil war in this country when
hundreds of soldiers from both the
federal and confederate armies, in
stead of returning to their homes,
drifted west. They took with them
the spirit of :awlessness and destruc-
ton acquired during the raiding and
foraging incident to the great strug-
gle and the luri1 history of the west
ern states during the late SOS and
early '70's was the result That a
similar situation is bound to prevail in

tility of the present struggle, is evil

fight scheduled for tomorrow night

White had been stricken with a severe

There is some mystery connected

circulated last night, but these were
denied today at the Hotel Apthorp.

ROUCNINC RUINS
DAYTON BATTLE
GAINED BY ny"
When Certain of Defeat Gym
Team Argues with Off
Gals and Use Repeated
Fouling Tactics.
Richmond, %; Dayton Gyms, IS.


They were rag-chewers.
This and more might be said Of the
Dayton Gyms, who assayed to play bas-
ket ball at the Y. NJ. C. a. Saturday
night. Seeing by the score board that
defeat was certain, the visitors, after
the first half, lost their temper, tried
to intimidate the referee, and took nu-
merous unprovoked blows at Coach
Roach's men with doubled fists.
When caught and fouled for their
unsportsmanlike play they became an
cry and threatened the officials. j..
O'Connel and Gregor, who went in to-
ward the end OF the game, made no
attempt to conceal their vicious jahs
at their opponents. IN many instances
Roachs men were forced to strike
back in self-defense.
Play Starts Fast.
The play started in whirlwind fash
ion, both teams playing fast, alright
ball. Before either team had made q
field goal, Spot Schepman had con-
verted two fouls into points and Unger
had lOoped one for the Gyms. The
superior training and team work Of
Roach's men told before the end Of the
half which ended with the score CT
II to 2 in favor of the "Y". During
this period the guarding of Captain
Schepman and Parker was sensational
in the extreme, as they allowed IN
ger to make only two field goals.
Although dOgged by his man, Ian
ing showed his cleverness by ringing
three field goals. Others which should
have been goals, missed the hoop by
small margins.
OutDlayed. and with the score
against them them, the Gyms started
playing dirty at the beginning of the
second half and what otherwise would
have been an interesting game for the
spectators was spoiled. O'Connell start
ed the battle when he protested be-
cause the referee called foul on him
for pushing Laning into the wall. AT
ter that play basketball ceased.
Fans who like clean sport have ex-
pressed the hope that no more games
will be scheduled with the Gyms.

have as many trials as he wants. In
each event a medal will be awarded
each boy making the required number

Dope Fiend's
Smoke Clouds

Coach Roach was justified in his
action of removing q player from the
Dayton Gym-Y. NJ. C. A. game Satur-
day for roughness, and it is only pity
that the management of the visitors
should allow such dirty tactics as were
employed by his men.
Vordenburg and Schlemker, pitcher
and second sacker, respectively, for
the local baseball team last summer,
have been reported as being signed
by the Rushville manager for the com
ing season. Nordy got away with
most Of his games, but how he did it
in several instances always has been
a mystery to most of the fans. If
Chick Long should come to terms with
Kenney, we should worry about Vor-
dy. Luke Snyder, it might be said,
is also the peer of Schlemker.
Plans are on foot to bring the InGi-
annapolis polo team back again, with
the Seeders as their opponents. How'll
you bet?
