EVENTS ARE POORLY ARRANGED
Certain Conflicts In Races In Which
Sprinters and Quarter Milers Com
pete Are Brought Together In Such
a Way as to Work Hardship on Men.
With the arrival of the provisional
day by day program for the Olympic
games at Stockholm, Sweden, next
summer, American athletes will have
plenty of time to reflect over the make
up of the list as arranged to the end
of finding that certain conflicts in
events in which sprinters and quartei
milers compete are brought together
in such a way as to work hardship on
the men.
It is particularly noticeable that the
short sprint is carded to run over three
days, July G, 7 and 8. On the lasi
named date and immediately follow
ing the final of the 100 meters the 400
meters relay heats, in which each man
runs 100 meters, will be decided, which
is conceded a rather unnecessary con
flict, as it is asserted that the final of
the 100 meters could easily be disposed
of a day before it is scheduled.
Then, again, between the heats and
final of the relay mentioned come the
heats and final of the 200 meters flat,
which will engage the competitive at
tention of the men who will be in the
relay. On July 9 and 10 the heats and
final of the 1.000 meters 100 meters
for each man will be decided, to be
followed on July 11. 12. 14 and 15 by
the heats and final of the 400 meters
race, which will call out the same
men as those in the relay.
With the heats and final of the 800
meters scheduled for July (i and 8 and
the heats of the 1.500 meters for July
9 and 12. in which America will be
strongly represented with the same
men in both events. Uncle Sam's
chances will be considerably nullified
by such a layout

In his diary on Jan. 20. 1702: "An
evening with my brother at Garra
way's coffee house. I was surprised
to see his sickly child of three years
old fill its pipe and smoke it as aud
farandly as a man of threescore; aft
er that a second and a third pipe with
out the least concern, as it is said to
have done a year ago." And Mission,
who visited England in 1697. notes
that In . Worcestershire the children
are sent to school with pipes in their
satchels, and the schoolmaster calls a
halt in their studies while they all
smoke."-London Spectator.

Heart to Heart
Talks.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
A HUNAN DERELICT.
An emaciated old man dropped dead on
Canal street this morning. There was do
money In his sleek, shabby clothes, hut
he was evidently not a drinking man. He
could not be identified. The body was
taken to a morgue. Chicago Newspaper.
Six lines of.nonpareil type.
Life is so cruel to some! Nature is
so careful of the type and so heedless
ht the individual, aud the big city is so
heartless.
The submerging of this old human
wreck, worn and waterlogged, makes
scarce a ripple on the wide waters.
Who was he?
The recording angel alone knows.
He lived perhaps much as you aud 1
have lived. There was a happy child
hood, and he knew joy and sorrow and
love and regret, prospered and failed,
worked and saved, made and lost, until
the day came when he was alone,
friendless and weak and failing.
I ask you:
Were you ever a poor boy in a great
city? Men hurry on intent upon their
own. Piled tier uj)on tier in the great
commercial palaces are the abundant
masses of swollen fortunes. Happy
shoppers fill the great stores. Sated
men and women roll luxuriously i in
costly carriages, while you
Your head is dizzy as you peer over
the verge of a bottomless pit.
Behind those plate glass windows are
heaped huge pyramids of food, while
you are faint with hunger. Here Is a
crushing sense of the world's cruelty.
But to be thus and old!
There is the alternative to beg or
steal. If you can- squeeze back your
pride and beg few will stop to listen.
If- you steal they will put you in an
Iron cell.
Sympathy? Charity?
The city is too 6usy. It does not
know. There are so many frauds. The.
city does not understand nor discrimi
nate. And bo the "miserables" go gradually
down, down, down, to that lowest plane
of life whose outer verge is starvation
or suicide or . -
Unless some tender human heart
shall help what shall become of these?
Nature will not help nor commerce nor
the angels from the skies.
Let us open our eyes and hearts lest
some of the frail, deserving human
backs go down before our eyes.
Impromptu Raiment.
What do you wear at night? The
juery reminds a correspondent of an
Md lady who was staying at a hotel
it Nice at the time of the earthquaj
"My dear," she was wont to say. "1
was simply tumbled out of bed. and
the ceiling cracked. I threw on a fur
cloak and nnconsciously pulled on one
long black suede glove, and when I got
down t6 the hall and found all the
ether guests, my dear. I was the best
dressed woman there!" London Chronicle.-"-,

suggest folds of fabric swathing the
figure. Above the tunic is a little
bodice of red chiffon showing the new
double sleeve.
Washing Lingerie Waists.
Wash as usual, but do not starch.
When dry dip In borax water, using
one tablespoonful of borax to one quart
of warm water. Wring ont and fold in
a towel for a few hours. Then iron
dry. The waists will not get mussed
nearly as soon as when starched, nn1
they are much easier to Iron.
OUR TURN OF SERVICE.
There is so much to be set right
in the world, there are so many to
be led ami helped and comforted,
that we trust conrinual'y come'in
contact w th such in our daily life.
Let us lake care that we do n !
miss out lorn of service. ELzabeth

How to Be Beautiful.

chocolate and fancy salads and eat tor
breakfast only a little brown bread,
it bit of fruit and drink -plenty of milk
iPor the rest of the meals use boiled
vegetables, green salads, rare done
meats, if nny. and a beverage confined
to milk, which may be used plentifully

DECK OF 10 CENTS
IN PRICE OE SPUDS
There is a decline of 10c per cental
being quoted in the buying price of po
tatoes in Portland following a similar
movement of, values in the southwest.
As Arizona and Texas have been
taking the bulk of the potato ship
ments from thi3 section, the dropping
of a dime in the quotations there re
cently had a quick response from buy
ers, as nearly everyone was paying the
limit here.
The best price available for ordinary
shipping stock is $1 per cental while
a short time ago as high as $1.10 was
paid. The average for this class of
stock is 95c per cental f. o. b. country
shipping points.
Dealers are not willing to offer more
than $1.20 for an extra fancy good and
$1.15 is now the average bid for this
class of stuff. However, growers were
In no mood to sell recently at $1.25.
