Simpson Going Over Hurdles.

II 80 seconds. Thompson once was
clicked in II 30 and once in II 40.
Many of the experts. however. think
Kelley and Murray just as classy as
Simpson and Thompson.
The keeneSt of the experts acknowl-
edge Simpson to be the greatest fence
t1ier of all time. The MiSsourian. six
feet three inches of superb manhood,
long and lean of limb and powerfully
muscled in the upper body. has the
ideal build for Il hurdler. Nature franz
ed him for a wonderful fence tlier, and
he has helped himself by mastering the
technique of hurdling. His form is said
to be the best Of any hurdler since
S1nithSOn'S time.
Simpson has the technique of hur-
ding down as tine as SmithsOn, and
BOb'S auvuntages-he is much taller
and longer of limb than Smithson-
enable him to take the high fences il
faster time than ever did the famous
Multnomah \. &. crack.

Yarmouth has never been q naval
base, but played a strange part in a
sort of civil war with the barons of the
Cirque ports during the middle ages.
The barons attempted to annex the
great herring metropolis, but Var.
mouth, with characteristic independ-
ence, tiercely and continuously resisted
their control by force of arms. A des-
perate sea fight took place of the har-
Dor between a Yarmouth squadron and
a fleet from the Cirque ports, in which
twenty-five ships were sunk and thir-
ty-seyeu damaged-LoQdon Mail

TEMPORARY INSANITY.
Caused by Mental Trouble Somewhat
Akin TO Epilepsy.

Caused by Mental Trouble Somewhat
Akin to Epilepsy.
Is there such a thing as temporary
insanity?
Many people think that the express
sion merely cover the kindly inten-
tions of Il jury to save relatives pain,
but numbers Of doctors who have made
a study Of mental disorders e1npbati.
cally declare it is no idle term.
One doctor has stated that tempo-
rary insanity is a condition Of double
consciousness, not dissimilar to epi.
lepsy. a person normally quite sane
may have attacks Of temporary aber,
ration lasting little more than a few
minutes, especially after long bouts OF
hard. continuous mental work, being
particularly liable If insomnia super.
venes.
Grimes have been committed in the
early morning, when the perpetrator
has not really been properly awake and
has been Mortified to find what he has
done. This is Il true case Of temporary
insanity. but it is comparatively rare,
and Il man In normal health would not
suffer in this way.
4 specialist in mental diseases has
stated that he knew Il case in which a
person was insane during a certain
time each day and that Others have
been known when the patient was
quite normal at ordinary times. but
suffered from q temporary fit Of mania

Simpson Has Own Style of Hurdling.

Simpson Has Own style Of Hurdling.
When athletic clans gather for the
annual national championships in New
ark, n. j., next September II of the
greatest races of the meet is looked for
in the clash Of Bob Simpson OF the
University Of Missouri and the three
coast cracks Fred Kelley, Fred Murray
and Earl Thompson in the 12O yard
high hurdles. Each of these fOur fence
tiiers has a record of 10 fiat or bet
ter, so 1t easily a be seen what a
Notwithstanding race should result when
the four t1iers rise to the starters gun
at Newark.
Simpson and Thompson are favored
by the most of the experts. Simpson

Made to Realize That the Enemy
Fears Him Perhaps More Than
He Fears the Enemy-Dangers
of War Are Not Hidden From
Him, Not Even the Possibility
of Death Compensations Also
Pointed Out.
HE presidents call to arms in
volved the mobilization and
the muster into the federal
service Of approximately 1W,-
GOO officers and men out Of the 10000
national guardsmen of the Union. The
result Is that the officers of the regular
army and those Of the national guard,
who direct the final training Of this
force, faced a problem which in many
ways is the same that confronted Lord
Kitchener in Great Britain when the
great wal broke out in Europe.
When Great Britain went to war and
Kitchener was named as secretary of
state for war In order to prepare the
nation for the struggle the victor Of
Khartum had but a handful Of regu-
lars and a partially trained force Of
~terrttor1als and reservlsts similar in
nearly every respect to our national
guard with which to begin bis great
work. His regulars, like our own,
were as good as any troops in the
x1yor11 or1 fho <orr;%,,inl, r,o,,o e,1,n
did material: but, after all, they We're
but "a drop In the bucket" to what
was needed. SO the grim old warrior
gritted his teeth and went to work to
create armies Of millions of men from
the citizens of a nation which, like
Of what is known as militarism. When
Kitchener went to his grave in the
North e his work was done.
The real object of intensive military
training such as has been going on
everywhere In the country is. in the
words Of a talented officer of Ameri-
can regulars. ''to insure success in
battle through efficient teamwork"
1t is to make possible this all essential
teamwork that the officers of the
American land services are bending
every energy at this moment. The
man who uttered the maxim above
quoted is First Lieutenant Arthur W..
Lane of the Thirteenth United States
Infantry, author of a timely article
IN military training that holds the
place of honor in the current issue of
the United States Infantry Journal.
~"A-ccording to the latest returns"
says Brigadier General Albert L..
Mills, [. $. A.. in his last report as
chief of the militia division of the
genera staff. the aggregate strength
OF the organized militia is 500 COM
m1ssloned officers and 12O.G93 enlisted
men. Definite progress has been made
during the year toward the develop
ment OF the militia into an efficient
field force"
Because OF its very nature and the
life vacations Of the vast majority Of
the men who make up the official and
enlisted personnel of the national
guard its training in a time of peace
is necessarily limited. The situation
was the same in England when Hitch
ener started to work on the biggest
and eliminating job of his long life.
Kitchener had to create the absolutely
essential teamwork and with it impart
the needed disciplinary. technical.
moral and physical training without
which teamwork is impossible. He
did It.

WINS
FROM MICHIGAN
Score of 40 to Is Gives Fond du Lac
Highs, Michigan State Title. Are
Now After Illinois Title.

Not being satisfied with being the
champions of the state of Wisconsin,
Fond du Lac high school basket ball
team seems to be on the war path to
become the champion of champions.
Thursday night the Wisconsin
Champs met the champion team of
Michigan and defeated it by a score
of 40 to Is. This was the seventeenth
consecutive victory this season. The
reason for the defeat of the Wolver=
ines is given as follows: superior
condition and fast floor work brought
victory to Fond du Lac. Marquette
put up a strong fight but they could
not cope with the speed and teamwork
of the Fond du Lac team.
Now the Fondy champs are planning
to bring the champion Illinois high
school team to Fond du Lac and if the
game is staged it will be at Armory
E on April according to plans now
being made.
The remarkable record of two sea-
sons without a defeat has aroused
intense enthusiasm in the student
body of the Fond du Lac schools.

EXHIBIT Of
PICTURES IN
PUBLICLIBRARY

Anyone interested in good pictures
will enjoy the collection, by represen-
tative American artists, now on eX-
hibition in the Public Library. The
collection contains such pictures as
Alexander's Sunlight" which was a.
warded first class medal at the 1911
spring exhibition of Carnegie Insti-
tute, and is pronounced without peer
"for grace of lines, relative beauty of
color and tone, and illusion of light"
Birge Harrison's Fifth Avenue at
Twilight" shows the city street on a
rainy night aglow with the after eff
fects of the sunset, the soft glimmer
from the lights inside with bits of
color here and there, and over all the
wonderful blue tone makes wonder
full picture.
In HOLLAND Morning" George
Hitchcock has shown himself
not only a landscape artist and pain
ter of flowers, but a figure painter as
we'll. The Dutch woman, clad in her
picturesque costume, is a charming
central figure, while the gorgeous col
ored bouquet on either side, the red
cottage, and the characteristic Hol-
land scenery in the background make
a never to be forgotten picture.
Robert Blum's japanese study, "The
Itinerant Candy Vender" so full Of col
or and a charming sense Of foreign
parts, won for him full membership to
the National Gallery.

romance. There are exquisite gossam-
er lace shawls, black and white, for
wear with the fluffy ruffies Of our sum-
mer organizes; lovely pastel tinted
crepe shawls with deep silk fringe, as
well as the heavily embroidered crepe
shawls of Chinese origin. Of course
the exotic beauties of the brilliantly
embroidered Spanish shawls are in
great demand by all that contingent
of stunning brunettes who effect long
dropping earrings and langourous
glances. Even the maid of sports has
fallen for the shawl in the shape of
the warm merino plaidie of auld Scot
land. There is such fad for cunning
little capes that it is indeed a deter
mined and square set of feminine
shoulders that can escape their lure
Taffeta seems the favorite medium
for these facinating frivolities and
most of the capes are ruffied. They
are all ridiculously short and incense
quential and therefore coquettish. One
of peach color taffeta is simply three
tiers of ruffies with another high ruff
f1e turned up around the neck for a
collar. Two tiny artificial peaches
tied with knot and long danglin ends
Of narrow picot edged old blue rib
boners set at the back of the collar.
Another contrasting type is plain
little fitted cape of grey taffeta, rose
lined with ruching around its shout
der length finish and roll collar that
reveals the rose lining Then there are
the quaint little silk coates and sac
ques of 1880. Worn with summer
frocks they are irresistible. One of
apple green faille has faring bell
sleeves and fiaring little peplum ed
ged all about with a qilling of ribbon.
Another little basque like sacque of
bronze faille is finished in cording
and fastens at the waist line with two
tiny oranges. Long coats of faille
belted in at the waist line with volu-
minous skirts and long capes of taf-
feta for evening wear fully as full as
the barrel skirt beneath them add va
riety to the wrap family. Surely with
such an assortment to choose from ev-
eryone can be wrapped in her own
personality.

LAST NIGHT
Booster Night A Great Success.

Last night was Booster" night, and
the young people were given the song
service, and they certainly did them
selves justice, giving three-quarters
largest week-night audiences that has
vet assembled at the big tabernacle.
Each child seemed to try to Guido the
others in the singing, and the hearty
response to the Booster" yells. There
were fourteen special numbers given,
everyone of which met with hearty ap
plause from the audience. There were
several requests that Booster" night
might be repeated.
Evangelist P. C. Nelson gave one
of his strongest sermons, speaking at
length upon the Rewards of God"
God rewards US for every good act af

Nelson touched upon the reward Of
pardon, which is given to all who will
accept it. Secondly in receiving par
don, we receive Peace. Then PUrIIac-
ton, and fourthly, He gives Us g. Pur-
pose in life. Any dead fish can drift
down the stream, but it takes a live
one to stem the current. Every man
should have a purpose in life, and if
we have purpose, God will give US
power, and if we have power with men
we will NOT he ashamed of orr reWa rdS
for we can claim the last and conclu-
sive point, that we shall dwell with
Him in Paradise. Over forty respond

vice. One mother taking the evangel-
ist by the hand, said; 'This is the last
of all my children to come to Christ.
Il am SO happy"
