UNGRaTEFUL RAILROADS.
Want to Charge Transportation for the Troops
That Protected Them.

Washington, Nov. 2l.--During the
recent strikes many railroads applied to
the government for protection and troops
were placed on trains and along the dis
turbed portions Of their routes. Now the
companies who availcd themselves of the
troops for the protection of their property
are filing bills with the war department
for the transportation of the soldiers whose
chief duty was To keep their lines open
and guard their property.
The war department opposes the pay
mcnt of these charges, and it is likely will
contest the claims in the courts.

mud and rain ON the campus, this after
noon. 1t was the occasion of the foot bali
game between the medics and the lawyers
of the future. Everyone expected fun,
but no one had an idea of seeing one quar-
ter as much of it.
Ever since the game was first considered
and the colors adopted, lively canvass
has been going on among the students t.
see which team would be able to secure
the larger number of supporters. Particu-
larly has this been the case among the
goods, and it is safe to assume thai
every one of the young lady students haG
been induced TO cheer for either one side
or the other. Nearly all the student body
of both sexes was present, and everyone
had on his or her chosen color. Some OF
the young men who backed the legal team
appeared in their last summers white
duck outing and tennis suits, and the
young ladies in white garbs stood SheltcreC
from the drenching rain by white covered
umbrellas.
Apart stood the crowd who were to cheer
the medics. .vn to. victory They were clad
in red dresses, red shawls, red hats tied
on with red ribbons, with red streamers
down the back Yes, the red sunshade
was there, too, to keep off the rain, foi
it fell alike on the just and the unjust.
And the players. Well, thcrel Not
one of them ever felt the inside of foot
ball suit before, and why should they b,
expected to know how to appear well in
them? But they had watched the game
enough so that they knew how to rur
and dodge tackle and pile up in with
ing mass like real foot ball players, anG
they did good work, though the ungrace
ful sprawls in the mud, the ungalnll
strides of some player dashing down the
field and the frantic gestures of the who'll
eleven in order to tackle someone as soor
as the ball was snapped, kept the specta
tors in a continual roar of laughter, while
the corps OF, special policemen appointed
from among the students, by their make
up and manoeuvrcs did more to help oi
the fun than any other three men on tht
field Everyone laughed, and when tn,
game was over felt the truth of the adage
" A little nonsense now and then is rel
ished by the best of men.

Col. RIPS Rob


Col. Breckenridge has son, Bob
who is q holy terror when it comes
to anngodly glee. He was a
source of constant trouble to his
SANITY" papa. Some months ago
Bob was guilty of an unusually vio-
lent and prolonged spree at Lex
ington. His distinguished father
sent an older brother, Desha, a tel
egram, saying. 4Put Bob in Jail
and keep him there until 1 return. -
The boys conduct had so shocked
his father, who, at that time, was
acting as Miss Pollard's aguard-
IAN that the latter determined to
send him abroad. On the day the
young scapegrace was to go abroad
a Pacific steamer, he read the news
paper reports of the Pollard scan
dial. Robert was in his turn shock
ed, and autographed his brother:
HPut the old man in Jail and keep
him there until 1 return, three years
hence" This evidence of filial re-
gard in the young man is very
touching.
