who was to have spoken, was unable to
be present on account of illness. •
Dr. Jordan spoke on university spirit
and on the things he liked and disliked
in university life. He said that many
evils in universities were but passing
"spells," such as sign stealing, attacks'
on co-education and so on. He cautioned
against ungentlomanry conduct in ath
letic affairs, saying:
Two years ago during a baseball game in

sities. The rooters spent their time in yelling
at their rival pitchers In order to "rattle"
them. We ought to be gentlemen at play.
There is one great thing In favor uf athletics;
a man can lie on the ground and have ten
men jump on his neck and yet be a gentleman
through it all.
College spirit Is not one of those wines that
needs to be •¦fortified." The greatest enemy
to college spirit Is the other spirits; the poor
est college spirit Is that which has to be
braced up in saloons. The best kind of college
spirit is that which not only keeps the athlete

Talking about Meredith, the Manchester
Guardian is to be congratulated on the
fact that it was able the other day to
Kive. a three column interview with him.
I do not think he ever before permitted
his spoken views to be printed except
through th* medium of his chosen art.
The main subject of talk was political,
Meredith's leanings being toward liber
alism. But in conclusion, referring to
himself apd his work, he says: "I sup
pose I ehould regard myself as getting
clU. I am 74, but I don't feel to be get
ting old, either in heart or mind, but
still look on life with a young man's eye.
I have always hoped I should not grow
old, as some do, with palsied intellect,
living backward, regarding other people
as anarehronisms. because they them
selves have lived on into other times and
left their sympathies behind them with
their years." Nothing has been more re
markable, perhaps, than this perennial
youthfulness of Meredith.
A very remarkable instance of the
t.'.pi'l Increase of values of old books, to
which reference was made recently, was
given in the sale at the Sotheby auction
rooms the other day of a copy of the first
edition of "Hours of Idleness," dated
Newark, 1S07. with two inscriptions by
Byron himself. The book appears to have
been given by Dr. Bland to Edward
Brownlow. It was knocked down at J650.
against $100 given for a similar copy only
last year.
The question of an English academy of
letters has again turned up. Various
authors are discussing it in the pages of
the Author. Herbert Trench, the poet,
who has taken up tho matter very heart
ily, urges the establishment of an acad
emy in the interests of letters, and en
forces his argument by strong pleading.
He wants an academy to give a central
standard of taste; to encourage literature
apart from popular rewards. For In
stance, he asks why must Meredith wait
thirty-eight years after the publication of
"Richard FevereP before his existence
was acknowledged. Trench finds to agree
with him such writers as Lucas Malet,
A. C. Benson, Mrs. C. K. Clifford, Benja
min Swift and William Archer. On the
other hand. Wells, Morley Roberts and
Max Beerbohm are against the idea.
There are, of course, famous excep
tions, and it is not at all probable
that as the result of this undue flooding
of the book world there will soon be a
decrease in the number of published nov
els by women.
"A curious point in connection with the
publication of bo many novels by wom
en," said a bookseller, "is tliat the de
mand for thorn, except In the case of
those by a chosen lew, is nothing like
proportionate to the supply. Book buyers
frequently say when they are offered
women's works that they prefer novels
by men. The reason is not far to seek.
Fiction readers, women included, arc
aware that a large proportion of novels
by feminine hands lack strength, imag
ination and humor; not that the novels of
many male writers do not fall *hort in
the same respects, but women fail more
often and more disastrously than men."
What strikes one as remarkable in the
prevailing dullness of, the publishing
world is the persistent silence of big
voices in literature. Of course, publishers
are hard at work now preparing for the
spring season, but gianclns through the
lists of forthcoming publications there are
no signs of any great names which stand
cs champions for England against the
contemporary literature of other coun
tries. For instance, Meredith has pub
lished nothing for some years. Thomas
Hardy has devoted himself to poetry, but
even at that is heard of but seldom,
gwinburne ventured forth some months
ogo into the pages of a magazine, but he,
too, is for the most part quiet. These
names, of course, are generally consid
ered the three illustrious names in Eng
lish letters ot to-day. Kipling has only
given a book for small children recently,
liarrie has practically followed suit, but,
ir.deed, th% novel as a serious affair has
been left in the hands of the minor prac
titioners. Tnese are mostly women, by
l fie way.
There is no doubt the proportion of
women to men as writers of fiction in this
country is steadily growing. Never a
week passes in the season but women, so
far aa numbers are concerned, are a long
way ahead of men, though the general
reader does not always know it, as so
many women hide their Hex under pen
names, which. If not always masculine,
are neuter.

Sp-cial Dispatch to The Call.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Feb. 13.
Max Thelan. a junior in the col
lege of social science of the Uni
versity of California, won the
Carnot medal to-night at the an
nual debate between Stanford and Cali
fornia. The question discussed was: "Re
solved. That it would be commercially and
politically advantageous for the French
Government to abandon the territorial
monopoly feature of its railway policy."
Thelan nad the negative of the issue.
Th<? decision of the three judges. Van
derlynn Stow, Bishop William Ford Nich
ols and the Hon. Frank M. Angellotti, was
unanimous. The winner was carried home
in triumph on the shoulders of his sup
porters".
The'an won on the smooth logical argu
ment which he succeeded In establishing.
As the men wore only given the question
an hour before the debate the speaking
was nearly extemporaneous and at thi3
Thelan excelled. His rebuttal was es
pecially forceful and he succeeded in tear
ing down the arguments of the other
speakers.
The Carnot medal, presented by Baron
de Coubertin for the purpose of encourag
ing the study and discussion of French
history and politics, is awarded annually
to the best speaker in the debate held be
tween California and Stanford. At Berke
ley last year Wagner of Stanford carried
off the prize. California hae won six and
Stanford three contests.

the stolen property and the connection of
Mrs. Phillips with it.

BOBBY BURNS SAYS:
'The Honest Man. Tho' E'en Sae Poor
Is King o' Men for A' That."
The honest jnan is honest with himself,
with the body God gave him. He is care-
ful to choose the amusements and food
which most nearly bring about the re-
sults which he wishes to obtain. Of all
«lif'F« proper food is the most important.
He recojmizes the need of a "strong mind
and Found body," and seeks a form of
insteomnce which will not move the ma-
chinery of the human system out of line.
Trimming logs is a humble occupation,
and the man who follows this laborious
( ailing truly earns his living.
A workman in the pine forests of North
Carolina writes: "1 used to drink about
cine cupfuis of coffee a day. and I got eo
! had headaches bo bad I had to give up
work. My heart would flutter and some-
limes it seemed to stop beating. While
1 was pick a friend advised me to quit
«.offee and use Postum Food Coffee. So
J got some, and by the very next day I
tat better.
"In one week I was batk to work trim-
ming logs, which is very hard work. I
Lave been well eince and stick to Postum.
I had a. friend here in the camp m-ho act-
• d like he had consumption. He was weak
and 111. I persuaded him to give up coffee
¦ and use Postum. He began to improve
steadily until now he is well again, and
what w« thought was consumption is all
pone. He would not use Poetum at first;
*aid it did not tafte good, but I made
Mm* for him, and made it right, and now
iiln Imaginary consumption is all gone,
l thank you for restoring my health."

SCOTT'S EMULSION.
Those Pose Girls
How many pale girls there
are ! Girls who have the will,
but not the power to bring
out their vitality. Doctors,
call it anaemia, which means
poor blood. They are thin,"
delicate and nervous. Their
digestion is usually poor, the
appetite not all that it should
be and they do "not even get
all the" nourishment that is in
the food that they do eat.
They linger between strength
and weakness with no cer-
tainty as to what change -a
day will bring forth. "
Scott's Emulsion U for all
such girls.i The- hypophos-.
phi tea-combined with the cod
liver oil will tone up the svs-
tem. give the blood new life.
. improve the appetite and"help
digestion. . Above all it gives
nourishment-.
Girls are nu,^ -liable to
anaemia than boys; this Is :i
because the blood of s,'oirien
i contains fewer red corpuscles,
mere water and less albumen
and salts than the blood of
men. Scott's Emulsion seems
to be the very thing, to dis*
cou,fljk tfrese difffH*nc^fv , It
helps all pale v thin girls when
nothing else will:
