II. HOdgins Has Such Faith in This
Dyspepsia Remedy That He
Guarantees 1t

One of the greatest successes in
the sale of medicine has been achiev-
ed by Mona, the standard dyspepsia
remedy, and its sale is increasing 50
rapidly that R. Hodgins, the popular
druggist, has hard work to keep a
stock on hand. 1t is very popular
with bankers, ministers, lawyers and
others whose business or profession
keeps them closely confined while
those who have brought on indiges-
ton through irregular eating, worry,
or other causes, have found relief in
this reliable remedy.
Mona comes in tablet form and
is sold in metal box especially de-
signed for convenience in carrying the
medicine in the pocket or purse. 1t
is pleasant to take, gives quick re-
lief and should help any case, no mat
ter how long a standing. This rem
edy has been so uniformly successful
that R. Hodgins will in future sell
Mi-o-na under a positive guarantee
to refund the money if it should not
prove entirely satisfactory. 05S11

COLLEGE TEACHERS OF ENGLISH

COL>IIfI lEAC11EfS Of' ENGLlS9
A strange condition exists with ref
erence to the teaching of English in
colleges and universities. There is
no other subject which is taught to SO
many pupils and there is no other
subject which is so often poorly
taught.
No one is bold enough to deny that
most college and university graduates
can neither speak nor write their
mother tongue with accuracy and
skill. The college professor blames
the high-school teacher The high
school teacher blames the grade
teacher
And they all together shrug their
shoulders and snobbishly inquire what
can be expected when the pupils
come from such crude homes. where
the Kings English, if it is not actually
murdered at least suffers torture eve
ry hour of the day.
- Leaving the parents and the grade
teachers and, the high-sohoo teach
ers entirely out OF the question, we
believe it is true that the average
young man and young woman speak |
and write English poorly because
their college training has been, for
all practical purposes, worse than
useless.
The fact that English is badly
taught in universities is duo to either
or both of two circumstances. The
first of these is that in hiring a teach
er of English the board of regents or
the university president makes the |
same blunder that is generally made
in hiring for every other department.
a man or woman is chosen not be-
cause of any demonstrated ability to
impart but because of an assumed
(and perhaps DEMONSTRATED ability to
acquire knowledge.
The second of. these two fatal cir
cumstances is that the average teach
er of English in colleges and univer-
sites has a wholly mistaken notion of
what constitutes his business in life.
OF that matter we shall treat suisse
quently.
In regard to the first defect of
teachers, namely. that great many of
them are not teachers at all, there
is perhaps little hope of Improvement.
Certainly existing conditions will not
be remedied until boards of regents
and university presidents have entire
" disabused their minds of the pernic-
ious idea that research, the publica- .
ton of theses. the taking of graduate
and the receiving of advanc-
ed degrees are in any respect or to
any extent guarantees of the fitness
Of an individual to teach boys and
girls from 16 to % years Of age.
Indeed from observation one might
be tempted to the rash declaration
hat the preparation mentioned is
often a guarantee that an individual

 The Boston manager juggled his players in a manner confusing to the lay spectator. The effect of his changes, however, was to bring the regular members of. the team into play only between the hours of 2 and o'clock, estimated to measure the time within which the forthcoming games will be played. Lights and shades at Braves Field differ greatly from those in any other park in the country, according to players. and Carrigan manipulated his men with this fact in mind.
 The Athletics batted in punches in both games and there was little bril- liant fielding by either team. A we'll directed throw from Hooper in deep right to catch man at the plate, and Walkers feat in throwing out a run ner who had slightly overrun second base in advancing from first on hit to centerf1e1d. were exceptions.
 With Brooklyn definitely chosen as the National League representative in the world series, The Red Sox scout on Brooklyns play in the remaining league games with a view to strategi- cal plotting. It was understood to- night that Carrigan, Wagner and Bar ry would be in New York tomorrow for this purpose.
 Braves Field was further prepared today for the expected great crowds by the stretching of ropes across right field to add 5000 places, to be avail able at 50 cents, to the total seating capacity of 42.000. The scores:

VoIga Wins Big Stake.
Corner Main and Shetueket Sure

Lexington. Ky Oct 3.-Volga, full sister to Peter Volo, duplicated the iaJter's achievements in making a new set of records for three-year-old fil- lies in winning the three-year- old trotting division of the Kentucky Flu turity. valued at $14,O00 and worth $S500 to the winner, at the Kentucky Horse Breeders Association meeting here today.
 The daughter of Peter the Great and Tervolo Belle trotted the third mile in 204 1-2, thereby lowering the three year-old lilly record of 2.05 1-2, made by Mary Putney in winning the Flu turity last year. In addition Volga trotted the three heats in 2.06 1-2, POT and 2.O4 1-2, respectively, es- tablishing a new record for three heats for three-year-old Allies.
 Volgas new mark of 2.04 1-2 not only is a new record for three-year- old Allies, but is quarter of a sec ond faster than the fast year-old rec ord for mares made by Joan in win ming the Walnut Hall Cup seven years ago and equalled by Mary Putney to- day.
 Mary Putney, in winning the first heat of the 2.06 trot, equalled the worlds record for four-year- old mares by trOtting the mile in 2.04 3-4, winch mark was set by Joan in 1909, but it was only a few minutes before VoI- gas remarkable mile dimmed the lus- tre of Mary Putney's time. Cox, who drove Mary Putney, had little trouble winning the 2.06 trot, Ross B. taking second money and Esperanza third.

New York, Oct 3.-In. keeping with the record of the past four weeks, to- days market operations again attain ed total well beyond the familiar million share mark, albeit very large proportion of the whole was contrib uted in the final hour, the list then being most active and broad. The course of prices was frequently at tended by irregularity and indecision, indicating the rather tWo-Sided char acter of the trading.
 Much of the markets stability was derived from the increased demand for rails, that division displaying more animation and underlying strength than recently.

 Munitions and equipments were again largely represented by Crucible Steel, New York AIT Brake, American and Baldwin Locomotives, General Electric and Industrial Alcohol and the paper shares were conspicuous with gains of two to four points in International Paper, common and pre- ferred, and American Writing Paper preferred.
 Coppers and Mexicans were among the most variable issues of the fore noon, but hardened in the final deal ings with United States Steel, that stock recovering from 116 1-2 to 11S 718, but closing at 117 1-2, a slight net loss.
 General Motors furnished another maximum on it's point advance to 759, with gains of and g points, re- spectively, for South Porto Rico Su- gar and General Chemical. Extreme gains in the more active stocks were shaded 1 to 3 points at the end. Total sales were 1,140,000 shares.
