CTltlcniro Yacht 1 atm>•
Yachting 111 und about Chicago is al
ways popular, and this season has
brought about no exception to the rule.
Everywhere in Windy City sailing cir
cles enthusiasm is rampant, and 119
though to add further encouragement
and approbation the weather bureau
has been supplying good breezes and
clear skies.
The Columbia and Chicago Yacht
clubs hold the center of the aquatic
stage. The former has attached to it
self considerable renown through tho
holding of the races for the Llpton cup,

and recently captured the cup annual

to Michigan City. This cup was for

The Chicago Yacht club has a splen

opened early in the season, and It is

of its kind along Lake Michigan.

Napoleon Lajoie, the man who has
done more than any single Individual
to keep the American and National
leagues from patching up a truce,
shows 110 signs of tho load of responsi
bility which rests upon ills shoulders.
The taking of Lajoie from the Phila
delphia National league club by the
American league club at Philadelphia
was one of the main tilings which
started the present war between tho
two big leagues, and it lias been a bono
of contention ever since. Its latest de
velopment Is in tbe war between
Roach and Rogers of the Philadelphia
National league club, which may ex
tend to the point where it will prove
damaging to the National league as an
organization.
Had Colonel Rogers given Lajoie the
extra salary which the sensational bat
ter demanded the whole history of the
present light might have been altered.
Lajoie would undoubtedly have been
with the National league yet had Rog
ers come to the front with the rise In
question, and the complexion of the
baseball world would have been much
changed, "without the encouragement
which the players in the National
league received to Jump, from the fuct
that the courts at llrst held that La
jole's contract was not binding, many
of the former would never have come
over to the American league, and the
latter organization would never have
attained Its present strength.
Women Wrestlers In t.omloii.
The woman wrestler Is never likely
to be popular In England, hut she Is
undeniably entertaining now and then.
There was a challenge match for SSOO
at u recent matinee performance ut

claims the championship In England,
and Mile. Adele Founder, an agile and
graceful young Frenchwoman, half u
head shorter. The Englishwoman won
the first and final bouts 111 good time,
hut her opponent, who won loud ap
plause for hvr skill and resource, has
demanded a second meeting, and this
is now being arranged.

E. E. Biuuthors, owner of Lord Der

Mr. Scanned bought Shadow Chimes
at the Easig-Tlpton sale in New York
last winter for $5,100, and at the time
Mr. Smathers bid $5,000. The price paid
by Mr. Smathers is not mentioned, but
it was probably considerably more
than that which Mr. Scanned paid for
him, as ho is considered fuster today
than ever before.

A GRADUATE WIFE
My mother wished me to marry and
my wife to be a highly educated wo
man. If I married at all, I desired a
woman for the home alone. My mother
and Mme. Desjardins plotted for me
to marry one of the latter's twin
duugliters, a college graduate.
I went with my mother to call on the
Desjardins. When we arrived Mme.
Desjardins greeted me as "little
James." This exclamation rather up
set me.
I expected her to ask me tf I had
brought my marbles nlong, but Instead
of that she presented mo to her daugh
ters. The twin sisters resembled each
other only lu their dress. Mile. Mar
tha was a very beautiful brunette, a
(ireek goddess, with pure, straight fea
tures. Mile. Rose was less Imposing, a
sweet, pretty blond. I was sure that
in spite of her nineteen years she still
played with dolls. She certainly was
not the "learned young woman" my
mother proposed I should court. It
must be the other one. There was danc
ing, and I offered my arm to Mile.
Rose. After a waltz we chatted. She
was witty and a little sharp, this meek
looking little blond. I started a conver
sation on commonplace subjects, and
In a short space of time I had judged
my companion to he a most charming
little woman, and it was with much re
luctance I left her side.
Blue eyes, blue gauzo, smiling lips
and a cloud of golden hair were all
mingled In my sloop that night. Why
not the stately, statuesque, dark beau
ty my mother would so gladly welcome
as a daughter?
In another week I must again ac
company my mother to the weekly re
ception at Mme. Desjardins', and then
they would come to my mother's Fri
days. Thus twice a week I saw her
and fell in love deeper and deeper.
Dear little Rose, thought I. What a
wife she will he to make home bright
and happy—for some one. A strange
fear came over me, and 1 recalled
many Instances where Rose had ap
peared anxious to avoid me, perhaps
out of consideration for her sister or
perhaps to save me from a great disap
pointment.
Under the torture of this sudden sus
picion I flew to my mother. "I must
make a clean breast of it, mother dear.
I love Rose, and you must hcljj me to
gain licr."
"Oh, James, Is not this somewhat
sudden? And those convictions you
have cherished"—
"Nonsense, mother! Listen. This Is
serious. Y'ou will admit that so sweet
and unpretending a girl Is seldom
found now. No more words, please,
but do, like the good mother you are,
go and ask Mme. Desjardins for the
hand of licr daughter."
"My dear child, I will teach you how
to he consistent. I cannot go back on
my word. I will have nothing to do
with tho arrangements of a marriage
for you."
She said all this with such an amused
smile that I could not think licr seri
ous. I determined, however, to put nil
end to this suspense aud soon found un
opportunity.
There were a concert and n ball at
the Desjardins' beautiful country
home. When bending over her moth
er's hand, I saw but one being, and
heaven entered my soul us 1 caught
the light of licr eyes. It seemed but an
Instant before we were outside wan
dering about the grounds. The words
were on my lips to speak when some
one called to us: "Come. La Marlanl Is
going to sing." What care X for the
Marlanl? But Rose hastened licr steps,
and I followed, hoping she would at
least stay outside. As we neared the
house she led the way to a corner of
the veranda, and there the words and
voice of the wonderful singer reached
our ears and entered our hearts:
My soul Is full of dream.
My soul is full of love.
"Those words are mine, Rose. Do
you understand? Don't you see how I
love you? You are the woman I have
dreamed of since I have known how to
dream. You are the companion I have
longed for. Rose, could you not love
me!"
In n low. sad voice she murmured:
"My frleml, I am not the companion
you have dreamed of. Too often you
hnve described her to mo, your Ideal
woman. You lovo me because you
think me simple, as young girls should
be, and you think because you have
sometimes seen me attending house
hold duties that I would make a good
domestic wife, hut you will love me no
more when you arc undeceived. When
you know"— Her voice had boeu firm
until now, and, though her words puz
zled and pained me, I became aware of
tho Sorrow In her voice, a sorrow
which meant more than sympathy.
"Rose, In the name of heaVen what Is
It?"
She mastered herself In n moment.
"How often have you cruelly told me
that you would not marry a college
graduate, a bluestocking, as you called
her, and yet you ought to have known
—your mother knows"—
The fool I had been! And how I
wished I could fall right there on my
knees to ask her pardon! And yet how
could I have suspected that so much
feminine grace could he united lu a
ripe and mature Intellect?
"Oh, Rose, speak to me—speak In
Latin, In Greek, If you will. Only say
you will forgive me and will love me!"
Has she forgiven me? I hnve been
the happiest of men for three years.
Diplomacy.
"I always endeavor," said tho mat
rimonial philosopher, "to take the
wrong side of an inconsequential argu
ment."
"With what object In view?" he was
naturally asked.
"It gives my wife n chance to prove
me wrong, and tills so delights her that
I find her generously tractable In all
the more important matters."—Chicugo
