beautiful, the Champs- Elysees is as brea athlessly lovely as ever. But out side of the stable things Paris is not Paris.
 Americans, I think since my visit. can feel proud of their countrymen and women in the field of sports. The Americans in the Olympics have GOV cred themselves with glory and have made themselves very popular, from all I hear, by their geniality and good sportmanship.
 On the other hand I regret to say that the French have certainly not learned the ort of being good sports; they have improved, but they still have a long way to go to equal other nations. I was present at two very convincing demonstrations of this, since my return from London. One was at the finals of the high-diving contest. The judges rated the Americans first, second and third. The French evidently thought that a Frenchman should have been placed second, for when the announce ment was made, the crowd booted; whistied, hissed and stamped their feet, and behaved segenerally like naughty children.
 But worse was to come. 1t is a custom of the Olympic games that at the end of f-each competition the flag of the countries placed first, second, and third are raised, and the national an- them of the winning country is played. A large number of the people after the diving contests refused to stand dur ing the playing of '"The Star Spangled Banner" and kept up their hooting and yellowing during it. It was real I,x -1~A A axxA fxn-sS next to ,me-French, and should say from the country-were mortified and ashamed at the behavior, and rightly so.
 One night I4went to the finals of a which displeased the crowd. Thereupon followed a scene lasting for 30 minutes which was really terrifying. The mob attacked the refere, who had to be pro- tected and taken out by the geridarmes. The spectators fought among them selves, they made the same deafening noise made at the diving contests and continued it and their fights all through three rounds of the next fight.
 In the midst of a scene like that, one realizes rather vividly what revo- lution in France must have been. They are the most curious mixture of pleasantBees, happiness, and feroeity. have ever seen. Of course, their bark ies generally worse than their bite. You see chauffeurs on tue street yelling and gesticulatipg at eachN other and yon are sure that in a minute a murder win be committed. Instead of which in q few minutes all is settled amicably and pease reigns again. The French are : a queer people!

Game Fish Swim Up Stream


It's easy to drift as the current flows
It's easy to move as the deep tide
goes,
But the answer comes when the brea-
kers crash
And strike the soul with bitter lash
When the goal ahed is endless fight
Through sunless day and starless
night,
Where the far cab breaks on the
sleepers dream,
"Only the game fish swim up stream
The spirit wanes where it knows no
load,
The soul turns soft down the easy
Road,
There's fun enough in the thrill and
throb,
But Life in the main is an uphill job
And it's better so where the softer
game,
Leaves too much fat on a weakened
frame,
Where the far call breaks on a slee-
per's dream,
Only the game fish swim up stream
When the clouds bank in and the
soul turns blue,
When fate holds fast and you can't
break through
When trouble sweeps like tidal wave
And Hope is a ghost by an open
grave,
You have reached the test in frame
of mind
Where only the cutters fall behind
Where the far call breaks on the
sleeper's dream
"Only the game fish swim up stream

ATTEMPT MADE
TOROB V.C.BANK
Bloodhounds Fail to Locate Men
Who Entered the Valle Crucis
Bank Last Week-Bank Officials
Hope to Find Criminals.

On Wednesday night of last week
some parties entered the Vale Cru
els Bank at Vale Crucis armed with
sledge, pick, etc procured from a
near by tool box, and made a des-
perate effort to open the safe. The
combination on the front was beaten
off, and then small charge of dyn-
amite was inserted and exploded in
the little opening. AS a result the
lock was broken and the big door
file wopen. But at this point the rob-
bers met their Waterloo. They gain
ed access to the vault but the smaller
and stronger safe on the inside back
ed their Judgment as no attempt was
made to open it, and the would-be
robbers had to leave without a cent
of booty
Blood hounds were wired in from
johnson City the following morn
ing and trail was immediately pick
ed up by them, but after following
it several miles through the noun
tains it was lost on the highway,
where it was supposed they had been
picked up by an automobile.
The cashier says evidence points
to the guilt Of three men. Of course
it takes more than the evidence of
dog to convict a man in this state
but we learn there are other devel-
opments.

NEWS FROM THE
TRAINING SCHOOL
Regular Weekly Letter From the
Appalachian Training School With
Other Items from the Town and
Surrounding Section.

Boone seems to be the mecca for
campers and the radiating point for
sight seers and mountain climbers
believing as they do that is one of
the most accessible points for the
country in general over the Boone
Trail highway and convenient to ma
ny points of interest in the mountain
sections ummer touristh from ma
ny states come to Boone during the
summer and without exception are de
lighted with its summer climate and
the beauties of the scenery that sur
rounds. The Appalachian Training
Schools being located here adds to
their interest and many come to look
over its rapidly growing plant. Rev.
j. S. johnson Of Mountain View,
Junior College was at the school and
conducted devotional service and tai
ked to the student body. DR.. and
Mrs. Haviland of the Friends Select
visitors and the doctor made an ad-
School Philadelphia, were welcome
dress at chapel. DR.. Van Duesen of
Syracuse University, former tea
cher in the Training School summer
session, was gladly welcomed and
addressed the school during chapel
exercise and preached at the Baptist
Church Sunday night. Rev. Higgins
of the Boone Baptist church visited
the school and conducted chapel SER
vice. Miss Wilson of the East Caro-
lima Teachers College and her bro
ther, DR.. E. M. Wilson, now of Phil
adelphia but a native North Carolin-
ian, are spending some time ia Boone
and Mr.. Wilson made fine talk to
the school. To add to the interest of
the chapel exercises Prof. James
Moore, voice instructor at the school
during the summer, gave several SOL
os for the pleasure of the student
body. DR.. ]. D. Rankin, of the Train
,ing school faculty left on Friday on
an auto trip to the City of Wash
ington to spend several days.
The students Of the summer school
with the large number of visitors
have added greatly to the interest in
attendance and the various church
services, both the Sunday School and
preaching services making them more
helpful to all The several Sunday
School classes have had greatly in
creased numbers in attendance, for
example the class composed of the
young ladies of the Training School
attending the Methodist church US
ually enrolls from. 40 to 60, but this
summer at one time there were 161
present. This is largely true in all
the churches.
