The Lesson Learned From the Bronze
Figure of Nathan Halo.

All day long a crowd is gathered in
Broadway at that corner of City Hall
park where the bronze statue of Nath-
an Hale stands-a crowd shifting and
changing oftener than the second hand
of a watch marks time. Rich and
poor stand rhere; old and young.

Of the bronze figure, aSsociating patri-
otto memories. The lesson taught is
riain enough for the newsboys and the
bootblacks: there is kindred humanity
IN it for the laborer and the clerk and
the business man: there is SubliInity
in il for the idealist. That man died

but one life to his country. The SEN

shows. among other things, the educa-

how New Tork's laboring classes, far
more than in any other city in Amer

intelligently.

THE FOOTBALL GAME.
A HOT CONTEST FROM START TO
FINISH.
The Absence of Mass and Wedge
Plays a Pheasant Feature-The
Christians the Victors.

The Y. M. c. A. and High School
teams played their game yesterday, as
advertised. despite the fact that the
Exposition grounds were covered with
several inches of snow and mud. The
contest was close and exciting, but the
High School was outplayed and out
generated by the Y. NJ. C. A. team.
The game was characterized by the
absence of mass and wedge play, and
the frequent use of kicking in which
Peabody had decidedly the advantage.
The Young Nen Won the toss and
took the ball. Their opening play was
the pretended formation of a flying
wedge. but instead of following this
out Peabody kicked the ball forty
yards down into High School territory.
Odell returned the kick which was
caught by Cross, and Peabody again
kicked for a large gain. After several
exchanges, the Y NJ C.. A got the ball
and sent Bradish around the left end
for ten yards; Rasmussen went
through the center and Peabody took
the ball through tackle for a touch
down. With his usual accuracy he
kicked the goal which made the score
six points for the Y. NJ G. A. These
were the only points made by either
side.
The second thirty minutes of the
game were spent in hard work by the
High School, but their efforts did not
avail, for as soon as the Y. M. G. A.
goal was in danger the ball was given
TO full back Peabody, who never failed
to avert the peril.
During this half, Allen of the High
School made the longest run of the
game.
A number of the players of the High
School We're broken up before they
were stanted, by the breaking through
of Falconer and Gum. The tackling
for the High School was done by Glen
DINING, Odell and Mcintyre; for the
city team by Bradish, Peabody and
Mansfield
There was no smuggling whatever, and
with the exception of one man being
Slightly hurt, no one was the worse
for the game
The attendance was good and the Y
M. c. A. will derive quite an amount
from the benefit
Downey refereed the game and gave
universal satisfaction. Bradfleld of the
post, made a good umpire.

a weIeome to sugar.

America will become the dumping
ground of the sugar refneries of all
the other countries if the Wilson bill
becomes a law" says one Of the mem
bers of the trust. 1t is to be hoped
that it may be so. Probably every
householder in the United States would
be glad to have cart load of it dump
ed at his door. If it could be had for
nothing, so much the better Then we
could afford to take the laborers in our
sugar refineries who, according TO all
accounts. are about the worst paid and
most degraded of human beings, and
board them at the Waldorf hotel, and
save money by the operation.-New
York Post

1t was the merriest Christmas that
ever dawned in Utah.
Everywhere in this city there was

by committees and individuals, the con-
tributions to charity being generous
and cheerfully given.
The day was remarkable for the in

No sympathy From that Crowd

The woman, hedraggled and limp lay
there in the mud and filth of the
street, and not one face in all the
hurrying throng showed pity.
A staIwart policeman, one of the
finest, surveyed the poor unfortunate
from the curb, and then sauntered
leisurely towards her.
Men with broad grins on their faces
hurried by at his approach, and aside
from the perfunctory duty of the guar
dian of the peace, no hand was stirred
to help. And as the woman slowly
struggled to her feet, her face. Grim
soning with the consciousness of her
shame, the crowd jeeled again.
She had stepped backward off car.
