J?obson Notman, pastor of the Fourth Presbyterian church, at the corner of Bush and Superior streets, is fond of a good story. He dropped in at. a Cliristian Endearor eocial for a few moments one evening,- and the president, catching sight of him, called upon him for a talk, much to the surprise of the minister. This was the story he told as an illustration of his feedings:-. " : -- "I am reminded of the good old deacon who was wont" to attend prayer mcetirrg very regularly but who always chose the hour as a time for a comfortable nap. The old "WTLLIAM, WAKJt VF. TfB TOUJt TIME TO LEAD." man likewise was fond of a good game of cards. He was taking his usual snooze during the prayer serv ice one evening when the minister, said: ' '"Brother Blank, will you please lead in prayer ? "Brother Blank was too far in dreamland to hear, and the fact was a source of nfach embarrassment to his good wife. " 'William she whispered, giving him a nudge, 'William, wake up.

Senator El kins was talking for statehood for New Mexico and Ari zona the other day until they re minded him how he kept New Mex ico out of the Union thirty years ago. Elkins was formerly a dele gate in congress from New Mexico. Once he had the bill making New Mexico a 6tate in such shape that it was ready to be called from the table and passed. Senator Burrows of Michigan, then in the house, made a sensational speech against the bill. Elkins was not in the cham ber. " As he came in somebody told him that Burrows had made a great statehood Fpeech. Elkins rushed down the aisle, shook hands with Burrows and warmly congratulated him. He thought Burrows had spoken for in stead of against him. The Demo crats who were going to vote for the bill saw Elkins effusively tell Burrows that he had made a great speech andconcluded that if Elkins, who was father of the bill, felt that way toward a man who opposed the bill they could not afford to vote for it, and they, didn't. The result was that the bill was beaten, and New Mexico isn't in yet. New York World. - The Wrong Animal. Ignorance of natural history and some other things played a part in a fight of which a well known actor tells a stor'. ; A Welshman he says, had taken boxing lessons until he thought he could whip anything of his weight, lie thereupon challenged an Irish man to fight him to a finish, and the challenge was promptly accepted. The Welshman selected a fellow countrvman named Davy for a sec ond. The battle began, and after the first round the Welshman went to his corner and asked Davy how he looked. - - "Look like a lion," said Davy. In the second round the Welsh man had one eye closed, but Davy still declared his champion looked likeS" lion. At the end of the third round the Welshman was out. When he came to he looked through his swollen eves at his sieond and said: " 'Ow do I look now. Davy?" "Like a lion," said Davy. "I don't feel like 'un. . Did you hever see a lion?". x "Yes, hindeed.

A Man dingo drum resembles a tenpln upside down, while a Friendly islands drum, between four and five- feet high, is just like a post with a head of leather not more than six Inches across. : 1 - Did you ever wonder where the cus tom originated of having a man in front carry the drum so that the drum mer could get a good whack at it? It came from the fact that all old drums were very, long and narrow and an or dinary man could only hit them from the wrist.

I Brusso's great physical endurance, I which made it possible for him to withstand . the bearlike embraces of" the gigantic Hart in clinches, came from years of lacrosse, tennis, socker football, hockey - and skating, those sports having been Brusso's lifelong pastimes at his Canadian home. The athlete has always had a mania for the most strenuous of outdoor sports and has professionalized half the amateur lacrosse and hockey teams In Canada by playing against them un der assumed names aud in various sorts of disguises. If there Is a la crosse game on when Brusso is around he can't be kept out of It. ne shows the most phenomenal endurance In all of those sports, and the stamina re quired to hold Hart at bay was well earned. . Brusso himself says that he didn't want to become a professional fighter, but he simply couldn't help it, he was so carried away with, the delights of boxing. He couldn't find enough ama teurs to stand up before him, so he had to turn, professional to satisfy his' yearning for excitement in the ring. One of the most laughable incidents in Brusso's career was during a la crosse game in Detroit, when some false whiskers he wore fell off during a heated moment In a contest with a Canadian team. But even after belDg exposed Brusso kept In the game and couldn't be Induced to quit playing. Cross a Big- Help. , Lave Cross, the great third baseman, should prove a big help to the Wash ington team of the American league luring the coming season. Cross attained his greatest renown with, the Philadelphia- Americans, or LATH CBOSS. Athletics, as they are best known. He greatly disappointed his friends, how-. ever, by not playing In his best form In the world's championship series with the New York Nationals last fall. Cross Is a great addition to Captain Jake Stahl's Washlngtons, who are much In need of strengthening. Swimming; Dates Announced. Announcement was made recently by Secretary W, E. Bible of the Bye Beach (III.)

The events will be at 100, 220, 440 and 8S0 yards and one mile. The water polo championship also will be played, and In addition these will be ; a number of novelty events. A relay race and a water basket ball competition for high school teams will be given. The tank Is 100 by32feet. . Bays John Ward Was the Kin. Umpire Maurice F. Dannlby of Roch ester, N. Y., has an Idea that Ted Sul livan in his interesting tales of old time ball players overlooks some of the best of the old brigade. "I always liked John Montgomery Ward," says Maurice, "as- the leading ball player for inside play, and I think he bad Charles Radbourne cheated for real work. I think Johnny Ward the king of all ball players of the high class. There never was his equal and never will be, not even Collins of Boston. Aa a manager, ball player, batsman, artis tic fielder, pitcher, gentleman on and off the diamond, I hall John Montgom ery Ward the king of them all, bar none." Anto Team Race Is Proposed. The challenge of the Terre Haute Automobile club to the Indianapolis club for a race from Terre Haute to Indianapolis, each club having six en tries, has been accepted. Each car is to carry five men. They will be started separately and timed for seventy-three miles.
