Boys, Here's a Fine
Chance to Play Polo.
READY FOB TEE GAME.
Boys, here's the chance of your life.
Play polo this summer on roller skates
and be up to the minute in sports.
No doubt all of you were excited over
the recent international polo match
at Meadowbrook, N. Y.. and threw
your caps high in the air when our
team licked the British players, but we
didn't lick them hard, for the score,
you remember, was 4 to 4 in the
Americans' favor. It was a peachy
game from our standpoint.
.Well, a sport loving New York boy
has organized two teams, who oppose
each other in . what he calls "roller
skate polo."
For the field he uses an old tennis
fourt. At each end are the goal posts,
twenty-four feet apart. Hard rubber
balls of medium size and mallets are
nsed, the latter in sizes to suit the in
dividual players. Each man is "mount
ed" on ball bearing roller skates.
When the timers give the signal forJ

teams line up to the opposite sides of a
mark drawn across the field, the ref
eree throws the ball and the match is
on. The object of each team is to drive
the ball between or over the goal posts
defended by the opposing team.
A goal counts one. When a ball
crosses a side line it is out of bounds.
Should a ball cross an end line it Is
also out of bounds, and the side de
fending the goal is entitled to a knock
in, the ball being placed on the line
at the point where it crossed, but in no
case nearer to the goal posts than ten
feet
Now, boys, go In and win.

.'UJjllJLUJJj.wi.ivi4l....
CALIFORNIA boasts of many big and odd things that the rest of the
country does not possess, such as giant redwood trees and sixty-seven
varieties of climate, but now It is capping the climax with the only
movable street tunnel in the country. This unique tunnel Is formed
under the old residence of Adolf Spreckles, which Is being moved. When the
contract for the removal of the house was signed the street railway company
objected to the obstruction of traffic, and It forced the movers to elevate the
house so that cars could pass beneath it The movers proceeded via the aerial
route. The picture shows a street car passing through the movablp tunnel
Heroic
Treatment
By F. TOWNSEND SMITH
My friend Rogers was forty years
old and a bachelor. He had no taste
for society, and his life was solitary in
the extreme.
I had been to his room occasionally,
and his landlady knew my name. One
day Rogers- had worked himself up to
such a condition that she feared he
was going to commit suicide. They
hunted my name in the telephone reg
ister and called me up to say that
she wished I would come round and
take charge of him. r I went to his
room and found him walking the floor
with a desperate look in his eye. 1
took him out with me for dinner, after
which we went to the theater, and he
spent the night in my rooms. Before
going to bed I said to him:
'Rogers, the thing for you to do Is to
get married."
"Who would marry me?"
"1 know several young women who
would be glad to get you. I'll intro
duce you o 'the one that 1 think would
be the most likely to suit you if you
like."
"Anything to relieve me of myself."
The young person to whom I intro
duced Rogers whs twenty-seven years
old. Not hiiving thus far fulfilled the
condition for which she was made a
wife and mother -she was beginning to
get dissatisfied with herself and those
about her. I told her of Rogers' case,
and she confessed that it was much
like her own. She. too, said "any
thing but the life of an old maid." It
was understood when I brought them
together that it .was for the purpose of
matrimony, and they didn't pretend to
what they did not feel that they were
in that delirium commonly f-alled love
They made short work of the prelimi
naries and, being very much pleased
with each other, became engaged and
were married
I think their honeymoon was as hap
py as it is with married couples usu
ally. Both seemed to have taken
laughing gas. There was no attention
too great or too trivial for Rogers to
pay his wife, and she seemed disposed
to suffer any inconvenience rather than
put him to the slightest discomfort.
I called on them soon after their
marriage. Then I did not see them
again for six months. I met Rogers
and. grasping him by the hand, said:
"How are you. old man? How goes
married life?"
"Oh. married life is well enough, 1
suppose!"
"Well enough? Why, I thought at
first you considered It delightful."
"That was In the beginning, when
we hadn't really settled down to the
business of married life. I find double
harness pretty hard fo work in some
times." "Have any company?"
"All we want."
"Well, I'm coming round to see you
pretty soon."
When I called Rogers had been de
tained at business, and I was erer
tained by his wife. Being an old
friend of mine. I did not hesitate to
ask her how. married life suited her.
"Oh, I don't suppose." she said, "that
Ed is any harder to livt with than
most men!"
"He isn't somber, Is he?"
"Oh, no; he js cheerful enough, but

While we were talking in came Ed.
He saw by his wife's expression that
she had been pouring her troubles into
my ear, and he didn't like it He sat
down with a- very ugly look on his
race.
''Well," he said to me, "I suppose
she's been making me out a pretty
hard nut!"
"See here." I said, flaring up. "I did
the best I could for you two in bring
ing you together, if you want to quar
rel I would prefer that you leave me
out'-
"Who's drawing you in?" asked the
husband, with a snarl.
"He's drawn himself in," snapped
the wife. "He tried to pump you
when he met you the other day, then
came around here to pump me." '
"Pump you! What interest have 1
In whether you get on or don't get on
together? I bid you both good even
ing." 1 seized my bat and got out of the
house is quickly as I could, followed
by more caustic remarks from both
of ahem and making to myself more
caustic remarks still.
"What a fool I was to try to do any
thing with a bachelor and an Incipient
old maid! One might as well try to
make a crooked tree grow straight
Catch me trying to help any one that
way again."
When we do a kindness we don't
know whether it .will turn out such or
an injury. I thought I knew that in
this case 1 had done the latter. But'l
was mistaken. The two needed heroic
measures to bring them together and
heroic measures to get them fused.

of territory, can preserve their

.There in just as surely' an ehpiette
for a steamship as for a drawing room,

the formalities on board ship will be
talked about - .
After finding the location of your
room and receiving the room. key from
the purser you should investigate your
baggage, and If any be missing the
cabin, steward will, direct you to the
official to whom complaints can - be
made. It Is wise to find out any little
'landmarks" that will help you in
locating your cabin, thus preventing
mistakes and facilitating journeys to
and from your room..
The next thing to do Is to secure
your seat at the dining table. You will
be given a check, generally, which will
place you In the dining room. This is
given to the. head steward on your
first meal, and unless changed you
should take the same seat at all sub
sequent meals.

At table It is quite correct to speak
to the ones seated near you. A "good
evening' or "good morning" serves to
break the Ice. It Is also permissible
to speak to one's fellow passengers
after the first day. It is very conven
ient to have some one introduce other
men and women, but there is an in
formality on shipboard that bridges
many gaps. Above all. do not over
step the bounds of good breeding. . Do
not bring on yourself the censure and
adverse criticism of others.
Do not indulge in gossip, unkind crit
icism of others and be a nuisance by
complaining against the accommoda
tions and service. This type of trav
eler is never a favorite, and the pun
ishment falls on his own head by the
flight of others at his approach.
On the majority of lines it Is not yet
the accepted thing for a woman to go
to the smoking room with a man to
enjoy her after dinner coffee. The

X C. S. An Ethical Power
Now, gentlement, just for a moment, I would speak to you, not as
an educationalist, but as a preach er of manhood and a lover of - his
kind. The question of the use of alchohol by the student when study
ing, has carried me back to the thought. The International Correspond
ence Schools are not simply educational, they are ethical; they not'
only "make foremen and craftsmen and draftsmen, but they make
MEN in capital letters. For you can never awaken any one to his
commerciail possibilities without stirring up all other possibilities-asocial,
patriotic, philanthropic, intellectual, moral. The moment you suc
ceed breaking up one area of inertia you set vibration moving through
every part of the being and all kinds of dormant and stagnant powers .
ara set into healthy motion. When a man's mind gets engrossetl with
an intellectual occupation and he finds that he has a grip upon the
laws and forces ot the universe, the saloon, the vulgar-and degrading
. JUow, the curb-stone loafing, and the hours of inane and ribald waste
all seem to be unworthy of him and his self-respect clothes him in a
protective armor which helps to keep his entire manhood inviolate. A
great American preacher used to speak much about "the expulsive pow
er of a new affection," and, having as your life work the duty of both
supplying and developing this "new affection" the love cf the best, by
which the unworthy and base will be expelled, perhaps unconsciously,
but surely, from many and many a man. Success to you in your work!
The Trained Man Never Worries
. When tihe chiefs put their heads together to. hire or "fire," the
trained man doesn't worry. He knows that there is always a place for
him. . . . .
You can look your job and every man in the face if you possess the
training so much m demand everywhere today. The International
Correspondence Scnools will go to you in your epare tbne, whereever
you live,, and will train you to become an expert in your chosen line:
of work. Such a training will forever take you off the "anxious" seat.
It costs you nothing to find how the I. C. S. can help you. Mark
