VAIL PRAISES HIS

BASKET BALL Says That the Season at Earlham Has Been Remarkably Successful. WHO WILL BE CAPTAIN? SOME SPECULATION AS TO WHETHER HOTCHKISS OR WILSON WILL LEAD NEXT YEAR'S TEAM LATTER IS FAVORED. The basketball season at Earlham this yaav has hef-n one of the most fcueces.sful in the history of baskotball at that institution. Tho financial end of this year's season places the Athletic association on a. ssire footing. Of the ten games played only three were lost and of this three, two of the teams that -defeated Karlliarn were later Riven the fmiall ends of -8 to 21 nnd 29 to 25 scores on (ho Quakers' home floor, leaving but one team a true victor over Earlhain. In Breaking of the past season, .Coach Vail says: "I am very well satisfied with the results. I;t me say that the good work the team has done this season may be attributed to the .coaching of I'rol'essor Holmes and to Uhe spirit with which Captain Chambers has led the team on to victorious finishes." Professor Trueblood stated that tie felt certain that Coach Vail had takf.n his words of praise from the mouth of the faculty, and that a more glor,lous season had never been experienced by the Quakers. (Jut of the ten games played, seven . were won. livery same played at homo resulted in a victory for the Quakers. With the exception of the Miami-Karlham game, at the Colipewm, where Miami threw four field Koals before the Quakers awoke to the fact that a basketball game was In progress. No of her team has at any lime been ahead of the Quakers on their own floor. Three times in the game last Friday, Rose Poly tied the Kcore but were unable to get in the lead. Wilson has improved wonderfully (this year and seems to stand a much better chance of the captainship than nloes Hotehkiss. Chambers is the only man who will go out of the game this year and almost the entiro lineup Will be in school next year. QUEER LOVEMAKING. A South Ameriraii Bird Which Wlua ll lato Ity DnnrinK. There is a bird in South America that makes love with its feet. It is a haudRotnc creature, but walks clumsily, aud the only sound it can utter is a bourse cluek. It dances, however, in a way that wins admiration from the females of its sex. though its antics only crve as an in v :tive to laughter to human beings who see them. This bird, known as 11i cock of the rock, lives in the northern mountainous portion of South America. It is about the size of a large chicken. The entire bird body, hejid wings Hn l tail is blood red in color, with the exception of the tall feathers, which have a narrow band of brown across them near the ends which are tipped with buff. On l lie bead is a crest of feathers like n great rod ball, which contracts or expands at the pleasure of Its owner. Wheu the tuatiug season comes Sevan to ten males seek some secluded pot where there is a level patch of ipround and clear it of any sticks, tones or leaves, stamping down the dirt till it is hard and level. 'J heu they call the females, who tand at the edges of this novel arena. One at a time the males then perform a most curious dance. Kach dancer vlll first strut up and down a few times and then, to the apparent delight of the rest, commence to caper around In an extremely ludicrous manner, spreading his tail aud winjrs. putting up his crest, bowing to the others and at the fame time keeping up a hopping gait until he is exhausted. When all the males have danced e;ich female will choose a mate, aud the happy pairs depart to begin housekeeping. ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS. Yach Fart of the Larger Ones la Made by Spprinliat. Artificial flowers were iuveuted by pious nuns. In the Italian convents the altars and shrines were up to the md of the eighteenth century decorated with artificial flowers, laboriously rut together, of paper, parchment and other stiff materials. In a Venetian warehouse the most wonderful productions of natural flowers are exhibited in glass eases, and In many cases, not only the richest and most brilliant colors, but the very scent of tho flowers has been stolon from nature, for some of the artificial flower? are steeped in the perfume distilled from the flower -which it represents. Last century a Swiss invented a machine for oiittiug oi!t the loaves and petsls. but it can only be ued for t' e smaller kinds, such as are w anted for hyacinths, lilies of the valley and other small flowers. In larger petals the irregularities of manual work stre pro ferred to the tifT and correct torr;s produced by machinery. This material of which the petnlR are mr.ite is woven In special factories. Th scN?or and other tools mel by t!i pr-rl employ, ed as well 3? ue presses in which therein are traced en tee leaves are of a hape specially adapted to the work. Kach part of a flower Is ni:ide by specialist.. Tn one rrw-ni, for instance, only stalks of Cowers ;irui leaves arc made: in another, fruits and berries of ell kinds are cast if they are wax or blown If made of glass. Tbe cleverest workers are employed In making blossoms of the single petals and bouquets, wreaths and garlands of the sinTVe blossoms. Dundea Advertiser.

American political orators are often charged with being unduly harsh to the other sid.

HER PET AVERSION.

Tbe Reason One 'Woman la Afraid avff Her Bathtub. "I know a good many people are afraid of a bathtub," said a woman, "but not in the way that I am. I am not afraid of the water after I am in the tub. It's gottiug in and out I am afraid of, though water in a bathtub ; has beu deadlv. too. to some. I knew I ' of a man once who was drowned la his bathtub. Many a mau has drowned in his bathtub, but I know the widow ot j this one. and that was what brought it ! home to me. Whenever they intro- j duced her they whispered, "Hr hus- j band was drowned in a bathtub.' I I to her that wav of ' vine If he want- 1 Pi ed to drown, why didn't he go to the river? If he didn't do it purposely, then it was the fault of the bathtub, ' and that makes it a dangerous thing, io i my notion. I knew another man who was seriously injured by a bathtub. He was a great friend of mine. He had promised to help me in a lot of ways, with my work and one thing aud another. Then he was taken very ill. He was upon the verge of recovery and had written me he was coming to call in a day or two. when I got word that he had fallen in the bathtub or on it I have forgotten which, or maybe it fell on him and had broken three ribs. "I never get in or out of my bathtub without thinking of him and his three ribs or without being afraid I'll fall on the edge of it and knock out all my front teeth." New York Press. A BEGGAR OF KHIVA. ; ne tVaa oly and a Thine of Shreda and Patches. In an open square, where the dust pall j forbade sight or breath, I direc ted my : steps toward the source of a throbbing roll that ceaselessly wove itself in with ! the noise of voices and the pattering of unshod feet of beasts. As I neared it i the noise became detached from the hubbub, a distinct and individual thing. I which insistently claimed attention and made the very motes in the air dance ' to time. Under a willow tree by the water ditch that defined the square sat i a bent old man, unbelievably ragged. So torn were his mauy khalats that ! they did not seem like constructed gar- ' ments at all, but strings of tatters and : tags collected and hung on his fat, j weak body. His bead was bent on his breast, and his eyes were half closed. On his stomach was a wooden bowl, with a skin drum head stretched across it, and on this drum head he beat incessantly with his knuckles and his fist. The motion was so automatic and deadly regular in its recurrent changes that It seemed almost as if he were a clockwork figure set at the edge of the busy market to record the passage of time. I flung some coppers on the brass begging tray by his side and went off, unconsciously adjusting my steps to his beating. He made the trivial barter and the driving of laden animals seem vapid and futile, and my bit of charity sickened me. It was as If I had happened along and patted Socrates on the back. Langdou Warner in Century. Acoustics and Coatrhlnar. Coughing is one of the nuisances that no one has been able to abolish in churches or in theaters. A physician, however, claims that the coughing nulEance is a mere question of acoustics. "There is a subtle connection be- ! tween the ear and the throat," he said, j "When the ear is strained the throat ' is affected, and a cough is the result. When we can hear perfectly in church or theater it never occurs to us to cough. But when we bend forward, straining every nerve to catch the actor's or preacher's muffled syllables, then we find ourselves coughing every little while. Build auditoriums with perfect acoustic properties and I war- j rant that the thunderous choruses of coughs so common now among us will be no more heard." Life la h Kennel. The following 6tory from a well known Devonshire clergyman shows how the life in the kennel is brightened by play: "Some fifty years ago I was visiting Mr. Garth's kennels when the trst whip showed me a runnel in the airing ground about six feet long which the hounds had dug themselves and utilized a follows: They used to choose one of themselres and start him to run round the yard, they beins In full pursuit, till he b;il enough. Then he went to ground in tbe tunnel, while another hound took his turn to be hunted and co to ground." This is one way !n which hounds train themselves. T. F.

CONVICTS SLAY Assistant Warden in Montana Penitentiary Had Throat Cut From Ear to Ear. CONLEY BADLY INJURED. Deer Lodge, Mont, March 0. Warden Frank Conley of the Montana state penitentiary was dangerously wounded Sunday morning, and Assistant Warden John Robinson was killed when three life convicts, George Rock, W. H. Hayes and another whose name is not given, made a dash for liberty. Robinson's throat was cut from ear to ear and the jugular vein was severed. Conley's throat was gashed and he wai Ktabbe dseveral times In the shoulder and groin before he was able to draw his revolver and shoot two of his assailants down. Convicts Hayes and Rock were both shot by Conley after the latter had been wounded. It is believed that the warden will recover. The attack on the prison authorities and the attempted escape, according to the prison authorities has been long planned by Rock and Hayes, who were cell mates. Both were armed with pen knives, the blades of which were sharpened like razors. A Sabbatarian Dog. "Tip was an Irish setter his name "was really Tipperary and Tip for short." said a New York clubman 'He knew when It was Sunday, and he kept the day. He was the only Sabbatarian dog I ever knew. He used to sleep on a rug in my room. I had to keep early hours In those days, and every morning at 7 o'clock Tip would put his cold nose against my face and remind me that it was time to go to work. Then while I was dressing he would go to the village postofflce and bring home the mail. On Sunday morning he never stirred off his rug untfl I was good and ready to get up, which was usually quite late, and nothing could induce him to go to the postofii' e ou that day. And the best part of the story is it Is absolutely true." New York Tribune. No Plot. The actor, rounded up In Russia with a bunch of others, retained his composure while his companions in misfortune were giving way to despair. "I can prove my Innocence of complicity in any conspiracy to the complete satisfaction of the authorities," he said. "How can you do that?" one of his companions asked. "You will always be suspected of being connected with a plot" He smiled confidently. "Not when I tell them that for years I have been playing in musical comedies." Baltimore American.
