How Little Bel Did an Errand.

How Little Bel Did an Errand.
One morning little Bel was sent by her
mamma to the "button store" to match
a spool of silk. She had often been
trusted on such errands, though only
four years old, and very proud she used
to feel as she trudged along, helping
mamma"
''Be sure and get just that shade of
blue, and come right back, little daugh-
ter" said mamma as she kissed her
goodby.
Yes, ma'am," was the sturdy answer
Now ON the way to the button store
there was fruit stand, and Bel often
used to look at it with longing eyes,
This morning she saw something she
had not seen for a long time-great,
beautiful red bananas. If Bel liked any
thing in the world it was banana. She
wondered how much they would cost
Then she thought she would ask. Five
cents" Why, she had just five cents in
her fat fingers that very minute! Before
you could think she hadn't five cents at
all, but had the banana instead.
Do you think she went right home?
Not she. She marched straight to the
button store and standing on tiptoe
reached her sample above the counter,
saying:
MY mother wants spool of silk like
this"
The lady smiled down at the mite,
matched the silk carefully and handed
it to her.
Flank you" said Bel. She never for
gets her manners.
But, little girl" called the lady,
didn't your mamma send any money
for the silk?'
"Yes'm, but l buyed a banana" And
before the lady could stop laughing she
was on the street hurrying home

Another Baby in Politics.

There is another baby in politics.
This time it is Alice Evans, who will
figure in the coming campaign as the
infantile attraction of the Peoples party
Baby Alice is the granddaughter of
General Weaver and the apple of his
eye, even as Baby Mckee is the apple of
Benjamin Harrison's eye. She shares
with Baby Ruth the misfortune of her
sex, which disqualifies her for the pres
idency, but she is jolly little being,
brimming over with cordiality toward
all comers.-Exchange

Story of the Letter "I.v

The small letter 81" was formerly
written without the dot over it, The
dot was introduced in the Fourteenth
century to distinguish SIP from "e".in
hasty and indistinct writing. The letter
'i' was also originally used where the
"j" is now employed, the distinction be-
tween the two having been introduced
by the Dutch writers in comparative
modern times. The 'j" was originally
dotted because the 81 from which it is
derived, was written with dot over it,

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.


NEW YORK, Aug. 2S.-Summer is hardly
the accepted time for the game of football,
but the rivalry between the teams in the
college and other associations is so great
that already the candidates for the different
positions are beginning to get themselves
in trim for the antumn campaign.
The coming season promises to be an un-
usually busy one and matches between the
local clubs have been arranged to take place
early in September
One of the first games that will be played
in this vicinity will be between the Prince
ton University team and an eleven from the
Manhattan Athletic Club. The game will
be played at Manhattan Field on Septem-
ber II.
The Princeton team this year bids fair to
be an unusually strong one. With but one
or two exceptions all of last years men
will be back, and with their experience the
eleven should play well together from the
very start.
''Phil' King, than whom better quarter
back does not exist, will again captain the
team from his old place.
"Shep" Homans, the best fullback in the
country, will once more carry CONSERVATION
and the ball into the enemy's territory by
his powerful and well directed punts and
drops. John Poe, the slippery brother of
the slippery Edgar Allan, will again
wriggle through the lines.
Trencharn will replace Warren at right
end, and, in all probability, the giant Riggs
will keep his old place in the line.
The few vacancies that will take place in
the line will easily be filled by the many
candidates, but such giants as Holly and
Thomas will not leave.
A portion Of the Yale team has been at
work for several weeks under the careful
training of w. T. Bull at Newport Little
hard work was done, the men conining
themselves to mastering the signals and the
kickers absorbing Bulls words of wisdom.
Vance Mccormick will captain the team
this year and he will play at his old posi-.
tion back of the line.
Heffelfnger's loss will be hard to fill,
although it is said that several young giants
are coming to college with the class Of go.
And there is much expected from the
Rugby team in the various Western cities.
Eastern football authorities are expecting
the Three AS of Pittsburg, to have good
team this year, as there are quite number
of excellent players identifying themselves
with that club
