Harvard and Yale will play their annual
football match to-day at Springfield, and the
contest will, as usual, stir to an enthusiastic
pitch not only the little world of college grad

of admirers of all kinds of athletic sports. The
game itself ought to be close and exciting
one; for though the chances and the betting

so far as the uncertain predictions of the ex-

PLUCKY YOUNG WRAY.

His Gallant Fight with Indians Against
Overwhelming Odds
Three days after the battle of White
River, in which the gallant Thorn
burgh lost his life, Freeman q. Wray,
an eighteen-year-old boy who was in
charge of cattle forty-fve miles north
of White River Agency. was attacked
by band of savages- He contrived to
get his rifle and to make 50 good de-
tense. that they betook themselves to a
ravine and besieged him at their leis-
ure. After awhile he got out of am
munition and was forced to climb into
. wagon to get new supply.
While he was executing this move
ment bullet struck him in the calf of
the leg. passing directly through. In
an instant more another ball caught
him at the hip and knocked him down.
With whoop and q yell the savages
ran toward the spot. expecting to take
their plucky foe prisoner. But they
were again foiled, for Wray was only
down temporarily. and getting to his
feet again scrambled into the wagon
where lay his ammunition. He pulled
a sack of -four in front of him and
piled bag of Leans on top of that and
took hold of such other articles within
reach as made for him a barricade
against the promised shower of balls.
Rapidly cutting hole in the canvas
wagon-cover, he saw the Indians an
preaching. Leyeling his rifle, he fired
at the foremost of his pursuers. the
ball taking effect. This threw the
Indians into confusion, and they re-
treated into the ravine. They threw a
hailstorm of bullets into the wagon,
and one OF these caught young Wray
In the right eye. and lodged there
The Indians finally retreated- After
protracted delay the boys wounds
were dressed and the balls extracted,
and after five months nursing he
seemed to be entirely well, although
he had lost the use Of one eve One

Ii is the custom of some individuals
to forever measure out in their mind
the good gifts that come to them. even
the love aud generosity of those who
should be best and dearest to them.
Such persons usually imagine they are
cheated in life. and give more than
they receive. They forever ask. what

worth living. and. narrowed down to
their own natures, end usually by be-
ing thoroughly detested. 1t is the law
of Heaven, of the Kind Father who
sends down the rain on the just and
the unjust. that we should all help one
another. not foolishly. but in useful,
enduring way. In this heipfulness. in
this recognition of the brotherhood Of
the race, is all the happiness that this
world can give. No man who loves
his neighbor, who is an Industrious
citizen. loving his country and his
God. ever asks IL those on whom he
has conferred benefits are grateful, or
has time to measure out the joys and
pleasures of life. A person may be-
come such q constitutional Pathfinder
that he destroys the love of his chill
dren, whatever they do. and he is GER
tainly then in the way of losing all

world. 1t is an impossible thing for
any family. however gentle and long

ELECTRICAL DENTISTRY.

Teeth Extracted with tho Assistance Of
the Wonderful Current.
Boston people nowadays have their
superfuous teeth drawn by electricity.
The process is very simple, scarce any
apparatus being required beyond an
ordinary two-cell battery with vibrator
attachment. This attachment is
thin strip of metal fastened at the
ends, which is made to vibrate thou
sand or more times a second by the
electric current At each vibration
the circuit is cut off and renewed
again, the effect being to give a per-
fectly steady flow of the mysterious
fluid.
In order to make sure that the flow
is quite satisfactory. the operator tunes
the machine-assisted by little reed
tuning pipe-until the strip of metal
sings "A Now. to the battery are
attached three wires. Two of them
hitched to forceps- The patient in
the chair is given a handle to hold in

ten romance shows that the great
Corsican possessed in no small degree
the gift OF vivid and graphic story
telling. The short novel now rather
cruelty thrust upon the public reada
wonderfully like the Intense and sensa-
tional dime fiction of the present day.
Perhaps under favorable circumstances
Napoleon would have been the Dumas
of his day. but it Ia likely that his
first crude effort Disguised him, and
he threw it aside. Undoubtedly the
poor and friendless student in those
days had the literary craze. and
had it bad. Besides his novel. he
wrote a drama. but he was no
better satisfied with this than
he was with his story. So he
reluctantly laid down the pen and took
up the sword. It is enough to make
the stern conquerer turn in his grave
to have this folly of his youth spread
before, the eyes of the readers of this
generation. There can be no doubt
that it is treating great man very
unjustly and shabbily to make public
the literary efforts of his boyish days.

of our successful men have voluntarily
given to the world the compositions

but it is suspected that they revised
their work very carefully and made
radical changes. But the whole bust
ness shows how little is really known
of a mans inner life and his secret as
pirations. Napoleon's fellow-students
could form no estimate of his future
greatness, and those who knew him in
his maturer years never dreamed that
he had missed one of his pet aims in
life, and was, like Richelieu, a failure
in literature. After all, even great
man is a very queer being, and some
times his thoughts. methods and mis-
cakes are very much like those of
small men.-Atlanta Constitution.

George Humphrey, the well-known
Winnebago chief, Wa-Ne-Ma-Neka,
was at the County Commissioners
room soliciting assistance. He is
seventy-six years old, and had walked
from point in Southern Iowa, eighty
five miles distant, without a cent to
procure food or lodging with. He is
trying to reach the home of his
people. in Dakota County. and thought
the commissioners might do some
thing toward furnishing him trans
portation. Said he:
II have some land up there and
want to get my children fixed before l
die so that they will not want for any
thing"
Humphrey was one of the chiefs
who decided Council Bluffs to the
Government forty-eight years ago. He
spoke briefly of the matter to-day, say
ing:
lat that time the town consisted of
two log houses. The white men who
came out said they wanted to borrow
it for thirty years. They gave the
Indians two drinks of whisky each,
some provisions, promised them more
when they wanted it, and that is the
way the reservation was secured"
The old fellow also stated that at the
time of the Black Hawk war, in which
his father took part, he was big
fellow fourteen years old. my father
was great friend. then. to Governor
Dodge and General Steel, who had
command at Fort Prairie du Chen,

could"

Feats of Anam's Maxicfans Which Throw
Hermann Into the Shade.
While travelling through Anam, in
Cochin China, with party of German
officials. we stopped one night at an
inn. where made the acquaintance of
a company of native magicians, who
CHANGED to be resting there. They
numbered four men and two women,
all very small save one man, who was
quite gigantic. Telling them that
was greatly interested in legerdemain,
and something of an amateur, soon
won their favor. In response to their
urgent request endeavored to give
them an exhibition of my skill.
Though 1 may safely say, without any
vanity, that at that time l was the
equal Of any magician in this country,
and had tried conclusions with them
all in private, these wizards of Anam
exposed my tricks in every instance
and laughed at me heartily.
One of these was begun by the giant,
who threw great coil of ribbon far up
toward the sky. AS it uncoiled in mid
air a small hawk seemed to be iberat-
ed from it, to seize the ribbons end in
its beak and to fly with it in cloud,
which apparently proceeded from the
ribbon ITSELF and was caused, / pre-
sumo. by something burning along its
surface. From this cloud there now
slid to the ground a snake, frog and
a smiling native baby, which one of
the women caught in her arms and
held out to the astonished crowd. ALI
the magicians save the giant now left
the place. The giant then sat upon
the ground and completely concealed
himself beneath large umbrella, ex-
acting from me a promise TO remove it
at the expiration of FIVE minutes by nv
watch. When took up the parachute
the giant had disappeared, though the
earth where he had sat was perfectly
solid. Returning to the inn. we found
our giant serenely smoking on the
porch, and when 1 handed him his um-
brella he opened it with a quick jerk
and disclosed my watch and chain,

owner of an extensive trading post on

proposed to clean out his ranch. which
was an extensive adobe building sur
rounded by a stockade. He did not
pay much attention to it. but the same
news continued to reach him, and was
at last confirmed by the arrival of q
large band of Cheyenne and Arapahoes
and Kiowas, who camped on the OPP

trading post, across which the military
authorities had erected a bridge for
the passage of supply trains.
