The trouble is, however, that he is just as dead as if he had been drowned in all seriousness.

AMERICAN ATHLETE STARS IN BRAZIL By Miles W. Vaughn (United Press Staff Correspondent) Rio de Janeiro, (By Mail)---Parti- cipating - under the colors of the | Flumeninse Football Club, Fred Na- bor, Wabash college, *20, took six first places in the inter-club meet for the Federal district, having previously established new national rccords in the shot-put and javelin throw during the club meet a few weeks ago. Besides the javelin and shot-put, Nabor won the following events: high hurdles, 100 meters and pole vault. (He was not entered in additional events, the six first insuring a victory for his club. The Am athlete has attained great popularity in I ili i 8, the fact that he wears key contributed to his prestige. Brazilian appreciates a good scholar even more than a good athlete. ;Nabor is employed by the Standard 0Oil company, recently having been transferred to Santos, and coming from that city to participate in to- day's meet. Athletics of all kinds have received tremendous impulse from the int t aroused by Brazilian participation ir tthe Olympic games. The Flumeninsce : Club has completed one of the fines* athletic houses in South America at « cost of nearly $2,000,000. There is a large luxuriously furnished mod- ern club house with all the finest ap- ipointments; a football field that com- pares favorably with any of the east- ern college “bowls” in the United States; a shooting gallery with ranges up to 250 meters ;a big covered swim- ming tank with salt water, and a number of outdoor pergola tea rooms and daneing pavilions, tennis courts, and other accessories. e Softest Known Wood.

The Federal Supreme court is cele- brating its centenary of “the high bench.” Orlginally the justices sat behind a long bench on the floor of the court—on a level with the lawyers This straight desk had set into it & Henry Clay was arguing a case before the court. During a pause in his argu- ment one of the justices reached for- ward, took a pinch of snuft and settled back to weigh the more carefully the reasoning presented. In his next pause Mr. Clay reached over and with a “Thank you” took a pinch himself® The court was indignant. That after- noon they met to decide what could be done to preclude the possibility of a second breach of the “etiquette of the ~ourt” and decided to have a bench made of such height that no mere vractitioner could reach thelr pet snuff. Since then they have sat behind the high bench that is in use today.—New York Tribune. What He Wanted. A little Washington boy was dining at a friend’s house with his mother not so very long ago when charlotte russes In paper collars were one of the features of the dessert. The fluffy delicacles tasted very: much like “more” to the hungry little chap. Is there anything else you'll have, dear?” asked the hostess, solicitously. “Yes, ma’am,” eagerly assented the child. “I want another of them pretty little Charlle Rosses.” One of the noveau riche women with which Washington abounds said at‘a tea the other afternoon, with a conse- quential air, that really her neuritis was getting so bad she was at her wits’ end; she’d tried everything ex- cept a chiropatrick!
