"Just one million," he replied with

WILL BE HARD ON ATHLETES,
If Day Is Warm It Is Doubtful Whether
Many Will Finish Forrest Smith
son's Dream Came True Equaled
Time In Slumberland.
By TOMMY CLARK.
According to the rules that will gov
ern the athletic meet of the Olympiad,
which will be held in Stockholm, Swe
den, next June, no competitor in the
Marathon and running races will be
allowed an attendant or receive assist
ance or refreshments from any one dur
ing the progress of the race, without
the permission of the judges.
This will be an awful hardship on
the athlete who competes in the Mara
thon run. especially if the day is hot
and sultry. According to the ruling, it
is apparent to the general committee
that constructed the rules the Mara
thon race should be as near the origi
nal one as possible. There Is no doubt
that many of the contestants will in
sist that they be allowed an attendant
as well as to take some nourishment
Ninety per cent of the runners who
compete In Marathon races cannot run
the full distance unless they take nour
ishment. If permission is not accord
ed the runners the race will no doubt
be run in slow time.
It has been said that there will prob
ably be men stationed at every half
mile mark to render needed assistance.
This will obviate personal attendants.
The only trouble about having men
stationed along the course is that they
probably won't know what aid to give
a rniiiitir if they cannot speak the ath
lete's language.
It will be good news to the Ameri
cans that Forrest Smithson lias start
ed to train for the Olympic games.
With the possible exception of Kraeuz
lein, Smithson is the greatest hurdler
that ..this country ever developed. He
won the 110 meter hurdle race at
London In 15 seconds Bat One hun
dred and ten meters is equal to 121
yards, so that Smithson's time, applied
to the regulation distance of 120 yards,
was equivalent to almost 14 4-5 sec
onds and was the fastest hurdling that
the athletic world has ever seen.
A curious Incident of Smithson's vic
tory at London is told for the first
time. Just before the men took their
jiositions' Smithson was asked how he
thought the race would result. Smith
son replied:
"I am going to win, and win in 15
seconds flat. I know this because I
dreamed it last night.'"
It is not often that an athletic dream
becomes such a reality as this. At a
set of games in San Francisco recently
Smithson ran the seventy-five yard
hurdles In 9 4-5 seconds, equaling the
world's outdoor record. This seems to
demonstrate that he has lost none of
his old time speed.
Apparently Jim Flynn is more afraid
of the specter of Jim Jeffries return
ing to the ring than Jack Johnson is
at this time. He said recently in dis
cussing the attitude of the public to
ward his proposed match with John
son: "Everybody is against me. Just be
cause I am not a mountain they think
I have no chance with Johnson, but
I'll show them. And there are others
who think I am going into this fight
just for the money that Is in it. Don't
you believe it! I don't get a cent un
less I win. Why. I've whipped eleven
white hopes during the past year. In
cluding Al Kaufman, whom I have
been after for a long time. Johnson
licked me once, the same as Kaufman,
but this time he is going to take the
count, and I'm the one that is going to
hand it to him."
Sounds good, Jim, but we have our
doubts about it ever coming true.
Jim Smith, the New York heavy
weight, recently fought a husky youth
in Bridgeport Conn. As the men clam
bered into the ring the referee walked
over to Jimmy Johnson, the manager
of Smith, and softly announced:
"My system, Mr. Johnson, is to count
the blows, and whoever hits the often
er wins." Johnson argued for awhile.

UMPIRE FRARY TELLS OF
UNNOTICED BONEHEAD
PLAY.
"I sat in the grand stand and
saw a peach of a 'bone' one day
in New York when recuperating
from my blood poisoning attack,"
says Ralph Frary, for a brief pe
riod last season a major league
umpire.
"Chicago was in the field, and
New York had the bases full,"
added Ralph. "Merkle. at bat,
slammed a grounder down to
Third Baseman Zimmerman, who
stepped on the bag and threw
home to complete the double.
Archer, who was receiving,
caught the ball, touched the
plate and with visions of a triple
threw tq first. Archer, of course,
should have touched the man go
ing home, as the out at third did
away with the force.
"However, all's well that ends
well. The base umpire had mo
tioned the man out at third when
Zimmerman touched the sack:
but, seeing both Archer and the
umpire behind the bat had slip
ped up on the decision, he imme
diately changed and called the
man at third safe.
"Very few noticed the freaky
play. Even McGraw slipped up.
and if I'd been in there umpiring
bases that day I suppose I'd have
got my foot in it for not chang
ing my decision so as to protect
my colleague calling balls and
strikes."
Fourteenth Century Life.
in the fourteenth century people lived
in mud huts, with a rough door and no
chimney. It was not till a century lat
er that the erection of a chimney was
considered more than an indulgence in
luxury, a fire commonly being built
against the mud plastered wall of the
hut and the smoke escaping through
the roof. All furniture was of wood.
Most persons slept on straw pallets,
with a log of wood for a pillow. Even
the nobility had no glass in the win
dows during this time. Cleanliness was
not a characteristic of the people, aDd
Thomas a' Becket was considered more
than necessarily nice because he had
the floor of his house strewn with fresh
straw each day.
Paying a Compliment.
Few ministers were better loved by
their flock than Bishop Reese of Sa
vannah. It is told of him that when
he was rector of a parish he saw one
of his parishioners talking very em
phatically to his son and called out:
"Hello. Tom: What are you going
to do with that boy of yours V"
The old man advanced to the door
and replied: "What am I going to do
with him? Well. I v,-i!l tell you. doc
tor. 1 am going to do with my son
what you cannot do with yours."
"Oh. indeed:" said the doctor. "And
pray what is th;it?"
"Why. I'm going to make a better
man of him than his father." Boston

THE LITTLE THINGS.
Many little things go to make up
an important whole. Life is made
up of little lh:ngs words, acts, du
ties, pleasures. They come to us
one after another, calling us out of
ourselves, or seem to rush hurriedly
past us, and they leave an impress
on our spirit, and our characters are
made ot marred by their influence.

BURNS SOCIETY HAS
DELIGHTFUL BANQUET
The Robby Burns' Society gave a
delightful banquet in Willamette hall
Monday evening. Mrs. Crawford,
Mrs. Matheson, Mr. William McLarty
and Professor Forbes, chairman, cam
posed the committee in charge.
The entertainment opened with the
singing of a stanza of "Annie Laurie,"
after which music was rendered by
the Telford family, as" follows, "My
Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean," and a
Medley of Harry Lauder's pieces.
Major Noble extended greeting to
visitors from Portland, A. G. Johnson,
of Clan Macleay, and A. W. Leslie,
of the Caledonians, who responded.
It was voted to support an entertain
ment by the noted Scotch Impersona
tor, Miss Lena Duthie, of Vancouver,
B. C. Hughe Kennedy rendered sev
eral songs, among which "Though
We Part I Will not Forget You."
Sammy McLarty gave one of his best
selections "When a fellow was a
boy," after which Mr. Telford gave
an excellent poem of his own compo
sition about Robby Burns, entitled,
"Scots Wha Hae." He responded to
an encore with, "Oh, why should the
spirit of mortal be proud.'1
Professor Forbes read Burns' "Ad
vice to a Young Friend," and Mrs.
Matheson sang, "Bonnie Sweet Bes
sie," and the "Breath of the Moor
land." E. C. Dye gave a condensed
talk on "Scots in America," showing
that the Revolution received hearty
Scotch support, that Patrick Henry
was a Scotchman and backed by
Scotch, that twenty United States Su
preme Court Justices were of Scotch
descent, nine presidents, a host of
scientists and inventors including Ed
ison, and many business men, includ
ing Rockefeller and Carnegie. He
showed that many Civil War gen
erals including Grant were of Scotch
descent and closed by showing their
influence in Portland.
The Burglar's Talisman,
Coal Is used for other than heating
purposes. For centuries a piece of
coal carried on the person has been
held to bring good luck. This belief
still survives among burglars. They
Invariably carry a small piece of coal
with them when they start out on an
expedition. The more successful they
are and the greater their good luck in
avoiding capture the more highly do
they prize their talisman. This belief
tn the virtues of coal Is accounted for
In the old superstition, traceable to sun
worship, of regarding any object asso

solar rays and a preservative against

The effects of opposition are won

LAFFERTY'S
RESULT OF
PORTLAND, April 22, (Special.)
How A. W. Lafferty managed to se
cure the Republican nomination for
Congress in the Third district is now
revealed Bitter personal enemies of
Judge C. U. Gantenbein and big cor
porations turned the trick which gave
Lafferty the nomination. Gantenbein
was made the victim of circumstan
ces. Returns show that Lafferty leads
Gantenbein by approximately 1000
votes. Clyde ran third and Shepherd
is last. In the finals in November
Lafferty will be opposed by M. G.
Munley, the Democratic nominee.
George. S. Shepherd was used to
defeat Gantenbein for the Congress
ional nomination. The railoads and
several prominent and wealtny Dusi
ness men threw their votes and mon
ey to build up the Shepherd vote, cal
culating that aside from the Social
ist vote, all the support given to
Shepherd would draw from Ganten
bein. The mave was no made with
a view to nominating Lafferty so
much as to defeat Gantenbein.
A Labouchere Story,
Lord Taunton was Labouchere's un
cle, and some one. wishing to be agree
able to Labouchere. said, "Oh. Mr.
Labouchere, I have just heard your
father make an admirable speech in
the house of lords."
"Really?" said Labouchere. "My fa
ther has been dead some years, and 1
always wondered where he had gone
to."
Queer Idea About the Brain.'
Old writers had no idea that the
brain had anything to do with the
mind. They associated the mind with
the heart or with other organs of the
body, doubtless because these organs
are moved or affected, by mental ac
tion.' Aristotle, the best informed of
the Greeks, said that the chief business
of the In:; in was t. cool the blood for
the he.", it.
