copied. In the party were Brunswick ;
fastest men, and after riding a mile or two
they started TO move a little, in order to see
what the 'skeeter' could do in the way OF
speed. l was feeling pretty well myself
and very soon became anxious for a little
scorch, but Jimmy appeared perfectly salts

went, and in IA few seconds We were way

at n terrific clip. and the sidewalks were
lined with people who We're shouting for

a mustache if he loved it very much, and
there was no statute of limitations barring

AT one time the brutal habit of slug
ging' opposing players whenever the ref
cree was not looking grew into an evil that
met with much public disfavor. True low
ers of the sport did not enjoy seeing wanton
injuries inflicted The game was rough
and dangerous enough when honestly
played. Princeton and Pennsylvania have
been notorious offenders in starting slug
ging matches. In 1890, when Princeton
only defeated the Quakers by SIN points,
Captain Poe of Princeton had his nose bro
ken, IIeisclman of Pennsylvania was taken
from the field with broken arm, and the
game toward the close developed into
yeritable prize fight. Happily for the best
interests of the game, however, smuggling
is on the decrease.
The football season will be practically
wound up Nov. 80, when Yale meets Prince
ton at New York, Harvard the University
of Pennsylvania at Cambridge, Mass, Uni
versity of Illinois the Lake Forest universe

portant game to be decided after Thanks
giving day is the annual struggle for ST.
premacy between the army and navy-be-
tween West Point and Annapolis at An
napolis on Dec. >.
Among the other particularly important
games scheduled for this month are the
Yale-C University of Pennsylvania game at
Philadelphia, Nov. IL; the Cornell [ niver-
sity of Pennsylvania game in the same city
a week later, and the annual Yale Harvard
battle at Springfield, Mass, Nov. ~.
Football is fast becoming very formid-
able rival of baseball in America, but the
term rival is hardly the correct one for the
reason that although each game may ulti-
mately meet with the same share of public
favor the fact that they are played at diff
ferent seasons of the year will prevent them
from conflicting.
The uninitiated observer of this great
fall sport that is so rapidly gaining univer-
sal popularity in the United States is apt
to wonder when he sees the first game how

ture generations. But after the decisive

We doubt if very many persons ever
saw mud shoes for horses. They are
used on horses in blowing the low and
wet lands of the valley north of Sumner
nearly every spring. The mud shoe con-
sists of heavy board about 8 inches
wide and from TO 10 inches long. round
ing i'll the front. On this board red
hot shoe of the size worn on the horses
foot for which it is intended is placed
until it burns into it to Il depth almost
sufficient to bury itself. 1t is necessary
that the shoe have a long toe and long
corks. A piece of circular band iron to
fit over the top part of the hoof is then
attached to the board and over the hoof
to hold the mud shoe solidly to the foot.
One end of the band is fastened to the
board with n screw, which when tight
ened holds the board as squarely to the
bottom of the hoof as if it had grown
there. The horses become accustomed
to wearing them and after a day or two
experience no difficulty in working in
them. BY this means farmers are en-
abled to plow land in the spring where
without the use of mud shoes horses
would mire down.-Sumner Wash

front of drug store and gone inside for q
glass of soda water. The horses were very
FESTIVE, and the young negro coachman
looked warm and tired. His employer must
have noticed this, too, for when she had
finished her soda she had another glassful
drawn and brought it herself to the car

the coachman drank, she slipped up by

have been glad to get out into Ferry street
and leave the governor to settle his own
affairs as he best could, but the dread of an
accomplice of the foreigner starting out
from beyond the coal and knitting him,
foreignerlike withheld him. Presently,
gaining confidence by the perfect silence
above, he stole up the stairs till his head
rose just over the level of the floor and he
could see right along the sailing room. In
front was the cone of the kiln, with the
opening or 'archway" directly facing him,
filled with Il glare of yellow light. On each
side was deep, impenetrable shadow, thrown
by the walls of the cone. Wright saw
neither kavanaGh nor the foreigner; both
were somewhere in that deep shade.
Suddenly there rose scream of terror
from the darkness, and Kavanagh rushed
out into the light. He was making for the
steps when, catching sight of a head before
him and not recognizing that it was
Wright in that instant, he stopped as il he
had run against a wall.
In that moment the foreigner leaped out
of the obscurity and sprang upon him.
Mercy! mercy" cried Kavanagh. Il
can explain about Vera"
But the foreigner made no answer, and
there was only rattle in the governors
throat as he tried te speak again.
They struggled furiously in the light that
streamed through the archway, but Kava-
aagh could make but poor resistance. for
his right arm was powerless and his adver-
sary had the agility and muscular vitality
Of panther.
Wright did not know what to do-he
hadn't time, he says, to think of anything
besides that. he could not tell what the
foreigner was after. He only saw that the
little man was dragging and showing the
governor nearer and nearer to the archway.
Kavanagh must have known, though, for
his struggles grew more and more frantic
as they approached the opening in the
kiln. Wright perceived the purpose of the
foreigner when Kavanagh, with a wild
scream, m ade a desperate effort to cling to
the side of the archway. Then Wright
found strength to run to his assistance, but
it was too late. The foreigner had torn
Kavanagh away from the wall and got
him right on to the dome, and they were
swaying to and fro in the death struggle
within foot of the hole in the middle OF
the dome. For a moment they swayed

Crowd - The Important Concluding
Games of the Football Season.
The football season is approaching the
acme of its glory, and only one man has been
killed yet. The crop of black eyes, sprained
ankles, disfigured faces, maltreated noses
and broken legs is fully up to last years
standard, but thus far the burning desire
to see a "deader," expressed by the immor-
tai "Helen's Babies has happily been
gratified but once. The principal games,
however, are yet to be played, and conse-
quently no correct list of the killed and in
iured in the sanguinary football battles OF
1893 can yet be compiled.
Since the game was introduced into the
United States, nearly a score of years ago,
many changes have been made in the cos

is watched with interest. His name is
Keene Michael, and his residence is in Nor

stump near the shoulder. When playing
he uses the bridge for every shot, letting
one end rest on the table and holding the
other end under the stump of an arm. He
takes the cue in his left hand. with his
thumb toward his body, and shoots the cue
forward with back hand stroke. He wins
more than u majority of his games. Re
