Congratulations tha Aetraaa Raoalvad
on Hr Engagemant.
JL London music hall belle who bad
Jat successfully "landed" an old and
wealthy nobleman sued an unpopular
manager, alleging that he had not paid
her aufflclently well for her engage
ment at his bnll. She won the cane
and was Immediately Inundated with
flowery congratulations from her
friends, all of whom were glad to see
the manager go down.
Not content with her victory, how
ever, the bello trust needs crow over
her beaten manager by packing up the
choicest of then- telegrams and dis
patching them to his house, with the
Intimation that he might make what
use of them he thought proper.
She regretted this last concession the
next morning. Taking her at her word,
the manager pasted the telegrams on
board outside the music ball, headed
them "Wbnt Miss Flightle's friends
think of her engagement" and left the
public to assume which engagement,
the professional or the matrimonial,
was meant.
Then followed such messages as
"Good for you, old girl!" 'Tinned the
old horror at last!" "Don't let him
wriggle oft the hook!" "Stick to him
till you get the dibs!" "Congratula
tions on your splendid haul!"
Another action for damages against
the manager Is now pending.

Sammy Told.
' Mrs. Smith was showing n visitor a
new hattree she had recently pur
chased when little Samuel came In and
neglected to remove his hat. Thinking
' to tench him a lesson she said. "Sam
uel, what did I buy that hattree for?"
"For $1.08," answered Samuel
promptly, "but you said I wasn't to
tell anybody."

At the denth of the Duke of Welling
ton the whole diplomatic corps was
Invited to the funeral at St. Paul's.
The French ambassador on receiving
his Invitation was very much upset.
He hurried off to his colleague of Itus-
la, Karon Brunnow, and confided to
him the dIRlculty in which he was
placed.
"The queen," he said, "expects us to
fo to St. Paul's to the funeral of the
Duke of Wellington. How can I go,
considering the Injuries which the duke
Inflicted on my country? What shall
I do?"
Baron Brunnow listened gravely to
his colleague's exposition and then re
plied. "As the duke Is dead," he said,
T think you can safely go to the
funeral. If you were asked to attend
his resurrection I should say refuse the
Invitation."

An extremely ludicrous Incident oc
curred in a fashionable church ou a re
cent Sunday. A young lady, evldentlj
a stranger, of a naturally pale com
plexion, accidentally let her handker
chief fall ou the floor. By repeatedly
stooping to reach It furtively she at
tracted the notice of a gentleman Id
tho pew behind, who thought she wa
about to faint.
With tho best of motives, therefore
he took her gently under the arms and
raised her up, greatly to her surprise
As she tried to release herself nnothet
gentleman went to her assistance, and
before the young lady knew what wa!
the matter they were moving her oul
Into the aisle.
Naturally she was too much aston
ished to find words for protest, and
they had managed to half carry, hall
lead, her some distance when she' dl
rected an appealing look to nnothei
gentleman In a pew, as If asking hlaj
to help also, lie, too, promptly rost
from his seat and helped to lift her ur.
and carry her Into tho vestry room.
The-e. ns tho three offlcidus but well
meanli geutleraen were trying to force
the now thoroughly exasperated lady
Into an armchair, she recovered bet
powers of speech, and the verbal ex
plosion that followed, while It cleared
away the misunderstanding, moved the
very meek men who passed out of the
vestry to mutter in unison, "NeveJ
again!"

An Ambidextrous Pitcher Bobs
Up.
Now, what will tho rules com
mittee do about this? Here is
a pitcher whom Connie Mack,
manager of the Philadelphia
Americans, signed up for the
coming season who is going to
mix them up with either hand.
And bere Is what is said about
him:
"Charley Frlene has come to
terms with Connie Mack and
signed his 1010 contract. The
Philadelphia club will have In
Friene a young pitcher of un
usual ability. He is an ambi
dextrous thrower. There are
few pitchers who can shoot the
ball over the plate with either
hand, but Frlene has done it.
He has pitched part of a game
with his right hand and finish
ed up with his left. It is only
when he is tiring or has some
dangerous southpaw hitter that
he smokes them over with his
left. John Rellly discovered the
youngster, who Is n gradunte of
Santa Clara college, and recom
mended hiiu to Connie Mack."

Selecting an all Intercollegiate Ice
hockey seven for the season of 1010 Is
a dltilcult task, not becauso there were
so many star players for each position,
but becnuse all the teams showed de
plorablo weaknesses in the same spots.
It has thus beeu found necessary In
two instances to shift players, a thing
which under more favorable conditions
would not even have beeu considered
In searching for a point and a left
wing nono could be found who had
shown that he was worthy of the hon
or. All of the colleges were particu
larly weak at left wing. In the major
ity of instances right hand shots were
being played In that place, and the re
sult was that they had to loft the puck
whenever attempting to shoot.
Heron, who played center on Yale,
can shoot from either side and has a
good enough hockey head to soon adapt
himself to playing the wing. For this
reason he is awarded the place.
At point there were several mediocre
men who might have been picked, but
to really get the best possible team to
gether aud that Is tho object John
son of Yale was shifted from cover to
point Johnson at cover was not as
good as Head, and yet he would make
a better point than any of the men
playing the position regularly.
There can be no question about Pea
cock's being the best goal tender In the
colleges, and in the estimation of many
he is the best man in front of a net in
this country. He would rank among
the best In the Dominion of Canada.
Read far outclasses any of the covers.
He not only plays a sterling game on
defense, but can carry the puck when
occasion arises,
With one exception the best college
forwards were all to be found In the
center of the Ice. The exception was
Cresswaller of Cornell. At right wing

.. At this juncture a member of his au
dience rose in an excited manner and
said:
"Pardou me, professor, but how
many years did you say it would be
before this calamity overtakes us?"

PREPARE FOR OLYMPICS.
Athletea on Other Side Ready to Send
Teama to Athenian Games.
The Olympic games are to be held
at Athens this spring despite the re
ports to the contrary, and not a few of
the athletes on the other side of the
water are making preparations to be
there. Last fall tho English Amateur
Athletic association decided not to
send a team, aud now it is said It has
not ehnnged its policy, but has an
nounced that If the athletes care to
go they are at liberty to do so nt their
own expense.
The first country to make a definite
move for the Athenian games Is Aus
tralia, and the antipodes will send
Wood and Slnie for the Marathon race.
Except President Taft might order a
team to be mustered here, there Is
hardly any possibility that America
will be represented. Professor Sloane
of Columbia university is the Ameri
can represeutative'of the International
Olympic committee, and Jt Is not
known what his views are about send
ing nn American team to Athens. The
Amateur Athletic uuion could' muster
a team, and so could tho Intercollegiate
association, but any foreign mixtures
around April or May would Interfere
with the dual college meet and the
championship, so that the college man
would be out of it for Athens. In
100C, when America sent a team, the
men were not the best in the land, lint
nevertheless they won the point of
honors, and no doubt as good a team
If not better could be mustered now.
Only recently President Tuft recom
mended congress to make a grant of
$.10,000 to send the athletes to the Vi
enna exposition games, uext summer.
The trip to Vienna for about forty men
would not ute up half of tho sum. and
there would be plenty of money to
send the boys down to Athens. They
could go N ;the (Jrecinn capital first
and take in Vienna and all other games
worth attending on their way home.

he bad no peer in the college ranks,
All season be played an aggressive
game. He shoots well, carries well
and falls back to help out his defense
In finished style. Furthermore, he Is
a fast skater.
For the positions of rover and center
there were several good men, and to
make these selections was no easy
matter. After considerable study aud
carefully watching, however, it was
decided that Hicks of Harvard at
center and Martlu of Yale at rover
were the proper choices.
Kay of Princeton Is a good man and
will show up well next season, but be
Is not ns aggressive and effective In
bis play as Martin, although a better
shot. Martlu had uot reached his real
form In the Yale-Princeton game, the
Iiulldog's first league match, but after
that he showed steady Improvement
In his work. McKlnney of Princeton
also ciuue In for a lot of ccnsldern

There were no left wings worth

not even mediocre. They filled In to
make full sevens, most of them, but
that let them out. Heron Is a hockey

CHESS EXPERT COMING.
Schlechter, Famous Master, Plana to
Viait America In May.
Next to Dr. Emanuel Lasker, Carl
Schlechter, the unobtrusive Viennese
master, occupies the central position
in the world of chess today. Ills
stand against the champion In the
great match recently concluded at
Berlin is uuparalleled In the annals
of match play since the late William
Steluitz was dethroned by the present
incumbent.
Although Dr. Lasker retains the title
of world's champion, and, In view cf
the fact that be evened the score at
the eleventh hour, commands the same
respect he ever did, Schlechter ranges
up alongside of him, an Impressive
figure, greater than that of any of
the other masters living today. Dr.
Lasker himself has been generous
enough to acknowledge the greatness
of his recent antagonist.
According to a cable received from
Berlin. Schlechter contemplates com
Ing to this country In May for a tour
He has been here but once before,
when he came to play in the Interna
