Her Name Mas Maud.

A Georgia mule was Maud,
Who used to gambol free
Through verdant fields and pastures
Up there in Cherokee.
Alas one day stranger
Led Maud away from home.
And sent her swiftly sailing
Far DER the briny foam
To where the war was raging
And bullets fell like rain
Mid rifle pits and trenches
On Belgium's sodden plain.
They hitched her to a cannon,
And ordered her to go
In the tongue Of Emile Zola--
A sound she did not know
Poor Maudie was not happy
She did not like their style
She backed against the Trenches
And kicked EN- bout mile.
She scattered Sikhs ard Tommies
And knocked the Turcos out.
She busted up two autos,
And then she wheeled about
And charged upon the kitchen
And overset the soup;
And round the generals noggin
Her heels they looped the loop.
She leaped the narrow trenches,
And withea wild bazoo
She babe the scramblng Allies
A resonant adieu.
Size charged among the Germans
Without single vince
She smashed the line of battle
And trampled on princel
They went for her with Zeppelins
And Krupps and eating guns
They tore the trees with shrapnel
And deadly metal buns.
But Maud just kicked and beloved
And switched her tail at such.
And galloped into Holland
And took up with the Dutch.

RnHad Grouse.

Civilization Ia abhorrent to the ruffed
grouse, king OF American game birds.
1t seeks the depths of the forests
where the wild grapes and winter
green berries grow thickest; where
clumps of laurel offer security from
prowling wildcats or foxes; where
mighty trees supply roosting places.
There is no prouder bird in appear
ance than the ruffed grouse, none so
majestic in fight. The hunter who can
find him and after finding can make so
per cent Of hits may be classed as an
expert When flushed this grouse
springs into the air with a roaring
noise; there Is a flash of brown hurling
itself through the forest, and in an in

A curIoaitx In NomeneIature.

The negroes in the British West In
dian island of Grenada find It very diff
lcult to keep track Of their descent and
their relatives because of curious
custom they follow in naming children.
The fathers Christian name is given to
the son for his surname. Thus If O
man is named John Jones his son may
be called James John and that sons
son Robert James, and so on to the
end Of the chapter. Naturally in few
generations families get into a hope
less muddle, and nobody knows exact
iy to whom he Is related!

The orchid is a peculiar plant, for,

like the violet, others like the rose, the

Caste System Among Ragmen.

Japanese ragmen have a caste sys-
tenn going from the lowest class, COM
posed of men with no capital who go
about picking up bits Of paper and
rags with pointed sticks, to the high
est class, in which there are some men
who are quite well off. There is an
intermediate class composed of men
who can pay for what they get, the
products they deal In depending large
ly on the amount of money they may
have. Among the higher class Of rag
men there are divisions of trade, some
dealing in woolen rags, some in cot
ton and others In different kinds of
paper.-Japan Society Bulletin.

STAY BY YOUR
SPORTS, SAYS
GENERAL WOOD
Time Enough to Quit When
Government Calls for Men
His Advice to Managers.
GRy Associated Press.l

New York, April 7.-Representatives
of the athletic associations of the
leading universities and colleges met
here yesterday and decided to suspend
for the time being at least all inter-
collegiate sport competition as a result
of the declaration of war.
lnasmuch as many of the univers-
tiles had already announced discon-
tinuance of athletics in the event of
war; a letter was sent to Major Gen
eral Leonard Wood asking for his ad-
vice in the matter. to which he sent
the following reply:
Tell your young men to stick
to their present duties until such
time as the government calls for
men. This it will undoubtedly do
when it's plans are announced.
The most important service men
can render their country now is to
stay at their university, and put
in all the time possible under mill
itary instructor in preparing
themselves for probable service.
There is no reason whatever for
the men disseminating their COL
lege work until the government
plans are definitely announced.
Sincerely yours.
Leonard Wood"
At the conclusion of yesterdays
conference, it was announced that mil
ltary training IN the institutions rep
resented had received such an impetus
through the present national emer-
gency, that most of the athletes were
taking instruction to such an extent
as to interfere with intercollegiate
competition. For the present Yale.
Cornell, Harvard and CO.
lumbia have suspended all intercol-
legiate competition. The University Of
Pennsylvania will hold a meeting Of
its board of directors next Monday to
decide the matter.
1t was agreed that as athletics were
helpful in military training, efforts
would be made to encourage such ac-
tivities even If there be no intercol-
legiate competition.

.Neps From Sportdom
Evers' Ambition Has Been
Achieved; Is Now Oldest Player

The ambition of Johnny Evers, cap
tain and second baseman Of the Bos-
ton Nationals. to be the oldest player
in point of service in the league has
been achieved since Honus Wagner,
veteran Pittsburgh shortstop. has an
nounced that he is through with base
ball. Honus joined the ranks Of the
benedicts last fall. and did not sign
a Pirate contract this spring.
The only other player who could
have thwarted Evers' wish was Christy
Mathewson. once the greatest pitcher
in baseball who left the New York
Giants last summer to assume the
management of the Cincinnati Reds
and incidentally became a bench
warmer.
Leagues Granddad Now.
II have seen all the players who
were in the league when l broke in
pass from active service" said Evers.
I'm the leagues granddad now"
Evers tells an interesting storysof the
troubles he had breaking in" the big
show" He weighed los pounds Sew
eraI of the baseball writers remarked
that it was a shame to allow so frail
boy to play. Evers played his best
ball when he weighed about 135 pounds
and was a member of the Cub ma
chine.
Joined Cubs in 1902.
Il started playing with the Cubs in
1902" Evers said. we were I'm Pitts
burgh and had to jump back to Chi.
cago for a Sunday game. Our first
baseman was injured. and Frank
Chance. who was catching, was sent to
first. Frank didn't care much about
playing that bag. Before the game got
far along. the catcher who took
Chances place was hurt, and Chance
went behind the plate again. Robert
Lowe. who was our regular second
baseman, was ordered to cover the in
itial sack by Manager Frank Seeley.

Will NOT
CALL Off
SCHEDULE
University First to Answer
Crawford's Suggestion
Offer Military Course.

The University of North Dakota will
not cancel it's schedule of spring
sports, according to an announcement
made at Grand Forks yesterday by F.
l.. Thompson, director of athletics.
This is the first answer to the sug-
gestion of Lewis +. Crawford of Sem
tinel Butte, president Of the state
board of regents.
A course in military training will
be offered however, and students en-
courage, but not required to enlist
The school authorities will also en-
courage enlistment for federal SER
vice, if a call comes.
No action has been taken at the
North Dakota Agricultural college,
but it is highly probable that the au-
thorities there will follow the lead Of
the university authorities.
Fargo college, jamestown college,
Wahpeton Science and the state nor
NAL schools have indicated that they
will await action by the university and
agricultural college before taking
steps either one way or the other.

I was the only available utility in
fielder, and Seeley sent me to second.
Il was new at the game, and Phillip,
who was pitching for the Pirates. did
not know how to pitch to me. AS a
a couple of runs. The play which /
think attracted the attention OF our
manager was pulled on Wagner. Honus
was on first base. The next batter
cracked one down in my direction. and
as / came in on the ball, Wagner ran
behind me. The man going to first was
almost there, and l realized 1 had no
chance to get him. However, / made
a bluff throw to first. and Wagner
thinking was going to go through
with my throw, rounded second and
made for third. turned quickly and
shot the ball to third. and got Honus
by ten feet.
That will always believe was what
gave me my start as a big Lacquer.
The writers, who thought / wouldn't
do, began to praise me. and this acted
as an incentive. Seeley told me after
wards that l probably would make a
ball player, If I could only hit. I got
orders to get out every morning and
pitch to me for about an hour each
day"
Always Willing to Learn.
Fellow players credit much Of Evers'
success to his willingness to learn. He
always is ready to hear a suggestion
from another player, or a fan or a
baseball writer. and he devotes much
time to reading the baseball news in
the daily papers, to see what criticism
is made, and then see to it that he
does not allow the same fault to hap
pen again.
Evers says: Baseball is my bust
ness, I am always ready to see and
study it from all angles"
