Evidently Cornell is not much bet~ ter prepared for shocks than last year. Harry McCormick batted around 360 as a pinch hitter for the Giants this year. ~ Pitcher Hendrix of the Pirates is one of the best batting pitchers in the major leagues. Demaree, a recruit, led the Giants n winning the game which clinched the championship. Klawitter, former. Giant pitcher drafted by Detroit, wants to quit pitching and be a shortstop. Aside from being an automobile racer, what would be your favorite method of departing this lite? Ted Meredith, the Olympic cham- plon_runner, may play football with the Pennsylvania squad this year. “Hurry-Up” Yost is kicking over the lack of experienced men on the Michigan football squad this year. ‘The playing of Halfback Philbin of Yale resembles the work of his older brother, Steve Philbin, the' old El wonder. Times were hard for the minor leaguers drafted this fall. A large number of them were turned back in short order. " Too many Beau Brummels and not enough rough and readys on the squad 18 said to be the trouble with the Yale tootball team. At first glance the baseball fan looks more rabid than the football rooter, but closer examination reveals this is a mistake. Fans are strange beings. They would rather sit'in a wood stand to see a good team than in chairs of gold to see losers. Hugh Jennings must be peeved be- cause he didn’'t land Doc Johnston when he had a chance to get the first baseman for $2,500. Playground Athletics Popular.

ARE ONLY WON BY PATIENCE Things Best Worth Having in Life Be- long to Those Who Can Wait to Conquer. It is always costly to raise money pn expectations. It is the same with, many advantages we secure in life.' We saddle the future with the debts pf today, because we are too impa- tient to wait. It is patience that brings us whatever is best worth hav- Ing. Maturity and strength of char- kcter are won by waiting. They can- not be forced up i a day. It is the mature man who comes and sees and gonquers, because he has ripened and be is ready for action. The man who fails is almost always the man who has not been patient. Yet it seems tame gounsel to advise people to wait. The young especlally are apt to think that they can go forth and possess the world. They believe In a sudden raid, a quick seizing. They think it both tedious and weak to de- lay. They tell themselves that suc- cess i8 for him who can grasp it. They reach for it too eagerly and fall heav- lly to earth. It is never wise to envy another per- son the things that are won easily. It we covet anything at all, it should be those things that are won with slow patience, fruits of ripe and mature growth, fabrics raised carefully on a secure foundation. These things, though we may well covet them, are the gifts that we may- all win. They may be difficult, but they are always possible. Patience is their condition, and patience in pruportion to their value. Being worth much, they cost much, and yet their . price is always within our means.—Arthur S.

Nix. Just consider how the animals comprised in it were caught! “In the firat place, they were caught in a winter of extreme cold, for it i8| only in such & winter that the weasel, or ermine, turns from tawny to snow ‘white. In normal winters the ermine only tuens to a greenish white—like this $400 greenish white stole hers. “In the second place, the ermine were caught young; for, when fully de- veloped, their coat is coarse and stiff ~—as in this $260 stole—and to catch them' young, the tongue trap must be used. Any other trap would tear the delicate fur. “The tongue trap is a knife, an or- dinary hunting-knife smeared with grease, that the hunter lays in the| snow. The little ermine sees the| blade, which it mistakes for ice. Ice it loves to lick—and so it licks the knife blade—and is caught fast, its tongue, in that zero weather, frozen to the steel. “Yes, sir, when you see a stole like this, don’t begrudge a good price for it; for every ermine in it was tofigue- trapped in subzero weather, a mighty slow and painful hand process.” Good Conversation. 1 heard someone planning a lunche eon lately, and she 8aid she’d selected her topics—what the people would talk about. She said she intended to “keep the ball Tolling.” Not a dull minute. Everything spicy and spar- kling and bubbling. Talk about one thing and then about another. Ring the bell and change the course. Press the button beneath the table and bring on your spicy story, as the maid brings on the salad. Lord! Lord! what a luncheon that must have been! Who, alas, can be spicy to order? Or bubble or sparkle or ‘be brilliant or even bright? - These gifts are of the gods. Sometimes we are and some- times we are not, but it's a cinch that none of us are brilliant when we try to be. Good-conversation consists in talk spontaneous. It has its source in 8 full mind and a full heart. Do I hear some one saying, “And in a full glags?” Ah, but even the full glass brings out in talk only the native, wealth or poverty of the talker. I'm sure that must have been an awful luncheon.—New York Press. Gambling Profits. M.

A lawyer was cross-examining an old German about the position of the doors, windows and so forth, in » house in which a certain transactio. occurred. “And now, my good man,” said the lawyer, “will you be good enough to tell the court how the stairs run in the house?” V The German looked dazed and un- settled for & moment. “How do the stairs run?” he queried. “Yes, how do the stairs run?” “Vell,” continued the witness, after 2 moment’s thought, “ven I am down: stairs dey run oop.”—National Month Beware of Olntments for Catarrh That Contain as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces.
