Collegeville Items. The college senior basket ball league was brought to a close Sunday afternoon when the II Latins defeated the 111 Commercials and thus won the closest race in college basket ball history by the margin of half a game. Great enthusiasm prevailed throughout the season, and many a hard-fought battle was staged in the gym. The pennant winners are the lightest team in the league and it was their fleetness of foot and consistent team work that gave them their success. The various teams showed some excellent material that bids fair for another fast team next season, one, that can even better the splendid record of the oft-victorious quintet that defended -the purple and the cardinal this season. St. Joseph’s 31; Rensselaer H. S. 13. The games nearest home were delayed to the last when the varsity, much the worse for hard wear, played the local high school. The collegians had only two legulgrs in their line up, and to offset this disadvantage the high school players were without their two most reliable point winners. The game was never 1 in danger for the college boys for they had gathered a safe margin before their opponents began to score. At all stages the game was fast and even as the score would indicate. It stood 16 to 7 ih the first period, and each team doubled their points, minus one in the second. ’

held their opponents to a close score. And had they shown the same grim determination towards the end of the game that their elders exhibited there might have been a different tale to tell, for the youthful collegians played a very poor game in the second period, and their over-confidence nearly cost them their game. The Renselaer H. S. plays a return game in the college gymnasium, which will end the present season.

The Men Who Succeed

as heads of large enterprises are men of great energy. Success, today, demands health. To ail is to fail. It’s utter folly for a man to endure a weak, run-down, half alive condition when Electric Bitters will put him right on his feet in short order. “Four bottles did me more real good than any other medicne I ever took,” writes Chas. H. Allen, Sylvania, Go. “After years of suffering with rheumatism, liver trouble’ stomach disorders and deranged kidneys, I am again, thanks to Electric Bitters, souffd and well.” Try them. Only 50 _cents at A. F. Long’s, The old saying that “the eye of the shepherd fattens the flock” is as true npw as ever. The good feeder loves to watch the animals eat after they get their feed. The soil that is drained can be worked earlier not only because the farmer can get on the soil earlier, but because it is warmer than that which is soaked. The ewe and lamb should be kept in a small pen by themselves until they both understand their relations without friction to themselves or the balance of the flock. . Where the bodies of fruit trees are covered with a whitewash composed of lime and soft soap with a little crude carbolic acid added, there is less danger of injury from rabbits, sunscald and Insect pests that may attack the bark.

A Necessary Man. Speaker Cannon, at a Washington banquet, had been criticising a political opponent. “His advocacy of those measures la only half-hearted, anyway,” the speaker said. “It is as half-hearted as old Uncle Ell Baxter’s affection for his wife. , “Uncle Ell kept a crab and oyster emporium in the village of Doerun. He was rich according to Doerun standards, and the village gossips said that his wife, a young and pretty woman, had married him for his money. “A friend, dropping in for a cold boiled crab one morning, noticed that Uncle Eli was looking woe-begone. "What’s the matter, uncle” ho asked. ‘Rheumatism again?’ J “‘Wuss’n rheumatism,* said Uncle Eli, shortly. ‘lt’s my wife. She’s been kissin' young Lawyer Shyster what takes his meals here with me.' “The visitor .dropped In amazement the crab claw he hat been picking. “‘lmpossible!’ he tried. " 'lmpossible nothin’.’ said Uncle Eli glumly. '1 seen her do it.’ “The voice of the crab later quivered with awe and interest. '• ‘Then what are ye going to do about it, Uncle Eli?’ he asked. " ‘Do?’ said the old man, sourly. What can I do? If I let the cat put of the bag that I’ve lost confidence in Lawyer Shyster, he’s liable to change his eatiu'-house.’ ”

Had No Tima. j Sir Arthur Faushawe, who has held so many high appointments in India, recently related an amusing story of a Mohammedan servant who, when asked his religion, replied: “Beg pardon, ear, I’m a heathen.” His master then asked him what he meant by a heathen, and the man answered: “Beg pardon, sar, a worshiper of stocks and stones.” “Confound it,” remarked the master, “I can’t keep a mail "Hip that in my service.” To which came the immediate rejoinder: “Beg pardon, sar, in your highness’ service no time to worship anything!” Up and Down.
