Fort Worth.

Fort Worth had the ball II the beginning
of the first half, and by long punt sent it
well into the ememy's territory, but Dallas
quickly returned il, and then a number of
rushes advanced the ball towards the Dallas
goal. The Fort Worth team thence forced
the playing and kept the ball well
up the field until Dallas, by a
pretty side run down the field,
made the first touchdown in about fifteen
minutes, but failed to kick the goal. After
the kickoff both sides played strongly
without gaining any more points until time
was called for the first half.
Both teams looked quite fresh when they
lined up for the second half and began to
play with Il great deal of snap. Fort Worth
forcing Dallas to touch the ball back.
Towards the end of this half Dallas made
another try at goal, after which no more
points were scored, and the game ended
with the score: Dallas, > try-at-goals; Fort
Worth. 0.
The game considering the lack of train
ing on the part Of both clubs, was Il pretty
and interesting match, and the teams We're
very evenly matched The Fort Worth club
eNcelled in team work, but were somewhat
slow i'll tackling, while the Dallas team
comprised some very fine individual play
ers. 4 return match will probably be ar
ranged for at Fort Worth 1t no late day.

A Rnu in z China Shop.

There could be no better proof OF the as
tendency of the Baltimore and Ohio in the
management of the Ohio and Mississippi
road, than the announcement of a 2l-cent
rate on -four from St. Louis to Baltimore
for export. which of course means the same
rate on corn. This is only a
drop of 4 cents in the rate, but it
is quite enough to make great
deal of trouble. Flour is moving as usual
but the corn movement from the West to
the seaboard has not yet begun. and it will
take the same rate as -four when it does
commence to come. The impression is that
i leading firm of Baltimore grain dealers
nave already bought up a lot OF corn in the
West, and that they want to expedite the

Kentucky stands so far in the lead be-

Carlisle and Boyd. Stevenson's long serv-

Chance has played some queer freaks in its
distribution of speakership honors. The
four great states of New York, Pennsyl-

prise more than one-fourth the population

Illinois, indeed, has had none at all. No

speaker, nor any state admitted since 1910,

Catholic faith and married TO communi-
cant, became so enthusiastic in her re-
igious experiences about five months age
that she fell into i trance and saw unut-

side just below the heart.
The wounds of the blessed Saviour
was their exclamation. Her family kept
the matter secret however, for week,

it has gone on for five months, and now

Feeding Sheep.

A Missouri correspondent in The New
York World says: Clover and millet
make good kinds of hay to feed sheer
during the winter When corn is fed it
should be shelled and put into tight
troughs to prevent being wasted 1t is
better in feeding sheep to give small ra,
tlons at time, just what they will eat
up clean in a few minutes, and feed otter
than to give so much at once that they
will scatter and waste it. They are more
wasteful of both grain and hay than any
other class of stock unless care is taken
to prevent it. They should have ne
more grain than they will eat in ter
minutes, and should finish their hay o,
fodder inside of half an hour. Besides
the grain trouyh3 sacks should be pro
yided for the hay or fodder, so as to keen
them from getting it under their feet
1t is very important that they should be
provided with comfortable, dry quarters
where they can be sheltered from storms
but they should be allowed to run out
during pleasant days.

A marvellous piece of mechanism has
recently been exhibited in Paris. 1t is
an eight day clock, which chimes the
quarters, plays sixteen tunes, playing
three tunes every hour, or at any in
terval required, by simply touching a
spring. The hands go as follows: One
once minute, one once an hour, one
once a week, one once a north and
one once a year. 1t shows the moons
age, rising and setting of the sun, the
time of high and low tide, besides show
ing half ebb and half flood.
A curious device represents the wa
ter, showing ships at high water tide
as if they were in motion, and, as it re-
cedes, leaves them high and dry on the
sands. The clock shows the hour of
the day, the day of the week, the day
of the month and the month of the
year. The mechanism is so arranged
as to make its own provisions for long
and short months 1t also shows the
signs of the zodiac, equation, and the
difference between sun and railroad
