won after hard struggle by score OF
4 to O. Charles Lloyd refereed the game.
The high school club, in the absence of
some of their men, employed several
university men, which considerably
strengthened their team.
From the first it was seen to be an
even.thing, and during the whole OF the
! first half it was nip and tuck with the
teams. the high school boys keeping
nearest their opponents goal, and Char
lie WTight's kicking only kept them
| from making touchdown.
The second half was as tight as the
first. The Olive boys made point to
keep close to their opponents goal. A
touchdown was made by one of the
Olive boys, but the try for goals failed
to cover the mark. This was the only
point made and it scored four points for
the Olive club as against nothing for the
High School boys.
Gray's fine kicking was, as usual, a
feature of the game and was far superior
to the work oil Olives full back.
The clubs were composed as follows:

BASEBALL THIS AFTERNOON.

The game this afternoon is the de-
cisive one of the series. Los Angeles
and San Francisco have each won three
games. Both mines will be on their
mettle this afternoon. The Los Angeles
team now play much better together,
and the visitors have not shown to be
such good batters. Their fielding has
been superior to the Los Angeles nine as
general thing. The local nine is very
confident, and expect to win. There
will doubtless be large crowd in at
tendance.

his trousers conspicuously rolled up
high enough to show an eXpanse of
dingy white sock on one leg, and on the
other an equal extent OF the very
pink and highly-varnished wooden
limb, which Uncle Sam had presented
to him to atone in slight way for the
one he had lost in his country's service.
For Mosley was proud of his natural
leg, proud of his wooden leg and proud
of his record as soldier. He had
fought bravely and well, and when he
had returned from the war with one
leg gone and his breast covered with
scars, he had found his cottage empty
and his hearthstone bare; his wife had
taken what of their goods she could
carry and had gone with another man.
Since then he had lived alone with no
companion save an occasional stray dog
who would come to him and stay for a
time, then wander off.
He was one of the characters of the
little village of Daysville, village

Learning to Walk.

People sometimes ask at what age
can we seat child in chair, when put
him on his legs, how old must he be be-
fore we teach him to walk? The an
swers are easy. He must not be made
to sit till he has spontaneously sat up
in his bed and has been able to hold his
seat. This sometimes happens in the
sixth or seventh month, sometimes
later The sitting posture is not with
out danger, even when he takes it him
self. Imposed prematurely upon him
it tires the backbone and may interfere
with the growth, so the child should
never be taught to stand or to walk.
That is his affair, not ours. Place him
on a carpet in healthy room or in the
open air and let him play in freedom,
roll, try to go ahead ON his hands or
feet, or go backward, which he will do
more successfully at first. 1t all grad
ually strengthens and hardens him.
Some day he will manage to get upon
his knees, another day to go forward
upon them and then to raise himself up
against the chairs. He thus learns to
do all he can as fast as he can and no
more.-Popular Science Monthly.

GEN. ARMIsTEAD LINDSAY LONG, who
was Gen. r. E. Lees chiei of staff at
the time of the surrender at Appomatox,
died recently at Charlottesville, Va.
He was born in Campbell county, Va,
in 1927, and was graduated from the
military academy at West L oint in 1850.
AT the outbreak of the war he was
first lieutenant attached to the Second
artillery. He resigned and became a
major in the Confederate service, and
year later was made Gen. Lees militia,
ry secretary with the rank of colonel.
In September, 1858, ne was promoted
to be brigadier general of artillery.
An attack of paralysis caused his re
tirement from field service in Novem

which was published in 1885,

Out at Fort Bayard there lay, for long

one, but which had greatly taken the
fancy of an old Apache chief. He daily
asked the commander for it, but was

to the government and could not be
given away. One day Gen. Sherman
arrived at the fort, and the request OF
the chief was referred to him. He ex.
amined the cannon, saw that it was
worthless, and told the Indian that he
might have it. Then, putting on a
grave air, he said to the chief: 81 am

can turn it on my soldiers and kill
them" "Umph! no." was the unex.

Ireland, Scotland, France, Germany,
Austria and Italy are all contained
within the area east of the Mississippi
river. In diagrammatic representa-

bigger than Turkey or Norway, and
New Mexico exceeds in size Great Brit
