Never Thought of That.

A business man who Is keen in financial affairs made an engagement while spend- ing his vacation to meet a man at another country placo 15 or 20 miles away. There was only one train a day, and he missed that ono by only n few seconds. It was m important engagement, but that would have made no difference to the business man, for he brides himself on keeping his engagements.
 When ho found that he had missed his train, he set to work to get a special en- zine. This involved Q good deal of telc- graphing, and the cost he learned would be $6O. He determined to keep that en- gagement, however, whatever the expense, and finally, after the delay of all the tele- graphing and waiting for the engine to run up to his station, he got aboard and was taken on his way. He reached the other man three hours later after he had missed the train, but he was feeling rather triumphant over his victory, and he pro- ceeded to explain what he had donc.
 You sec, was bound to get here," he added, "and here I am."
 That's so," answered tho other, 'but look here, why didn't you get team and drive over heref It's lovely drive. Il would have cost you about S4 instead oi $60, and, as for time, you could have ar. rived hero earlier"

 The glowworm has a brush attached to its tall because 1t Is necessary to show its light that the back be kept clean.
 Iron bcdsteads are safe during thun- derstorm because, being good conductors. they keep the electricity from the body.
 It is harder to blow out a candle with . cotton than with a flax wick because the porous cotton absorbs so much moro of the tallow.
 Many springs are intermittent, probably because the channels leading from the pes- ervoirs to the surface arc crooked and con stitute natural siphons.
 The day after n heavy snowfall Is usual ly very clear because the snow in falling brings down with it most of the dust and impurities of the air and leaves tho atmos- phere exceedingly pure
 The voice can be heard to a greater dis tanee through a speaking tube than through the mir because the sound Is con fined to tho air within the tube and the tube itself is good conductor.

 yard and Pennsylvania, and the big elcvens usually limit their efforts to preventing the minor teams from scoring against them. Judging from these games the elcv- ems of the four leading colleges arc either weaker than usual this year or the minor teams arc playing in much better form. The Williams college eleven succeeded in scoring against Yale, and the kickcrs of Brown university punched Harvard's line as full of holes us a sieve during the first half and also succeeded in scoring. Prince ton struck m unexpected snag in the Uni versity of Virginia and only piled up la points where she expected to make 30 or to. Lehigh also held her down to $.
 There was such n howl against rough play and "slugging" last year that the rules governing football were changed, and 1t was generally expected that the sport would be as gentle as n lambs frolic this year. The expectation Is not being realized. In the game with Andovcr Half Back Gray of the Harvard team broke his leg. Richardson broke his collar bone in a practice game, and thus far the Harvard team alone has seen six of its best players crippled seriously by rough work. After the gaue with Virginia the orange and black and the orange and blue were both black and blue as the result of prize ring tao tics. and judging by the play thus far the big games in November will be lively enough to please the most exncting pa tron of Donnv brook fair football.
 Another interesting development in this phase of the sport was the novel disciplin- ary method employed by Captain Hinkey of Yalc in n rcccnt game. The Yale eleven was putting up a very poor article of foot ball, and tho spectacle seemed to call for very heroic action on the part of the cap tain. Hinkey promptly leaped among the players, singled out Beard as the Cul- prit who was playing the yellOwCst ball, and drawing back the mighty leg that has done such ycoman service for Eli he ran up behind Beard and gave him kick that raised him a foot or two into tho pal. pitating atmosphere. The glory of belong. ing to n varsity football team has evident ly not been nt all exaggerated.
 The football girl is one of the most i'm teresting studies connected with the grCai social aspect of the sport. She Is the mos; attractive we'll as the most offensive partisan on the field. If she Is n Yale girl, she wears a blue dress, providing il be not too unbecoming; she frnntically waves n blue pennant whenever the 'Rah, rah, rah! Rah. rah, rah! Rah, rah, rahl Yalel" leads her to believe that the beloved sons of Eli are getting thcrc, and she Is constantly tangled up in the yards of bluo ribbon that depend from various portions of her enthusiastic person. The hugo bunch of violets she carries must have caused a tightness in the money mar ket for the admircr who presented it. She shrieks encouragement to her heroes faI away on tho gridiron, and shc looks dag gers at every Harvard or Princeton girl who is in sight.

 The usually gentle Princeton maid Is for the nonce tigress fierce and cruel. Her gown is fairly crisscrosscd with the grange and black of her pet Tigers, she carries great punches of yellow chrysan- themums, and 1t is even vaguely rumored that her silken hose bcars orange and black stripes She hopes tho Tigers will devour Yale, and she shows her teeth with undisguised pleasure whenever they pile up on top of hapless son of Eli and drive him foot or two into the mud.
 What the football girl does not know about the game would i'll several largo books, but she talks about punts, touch downs, goals, interference. of side play, buoking the center and other strange things with tho abandon and recklesncSs of an ex-varsity captain.
 A halo of romance is usually thrown around the average famous college foot ball player, but at close hand he does not look particularly romantic. His hair Is long and unkcmpt; his faco Is scarrcd. muddy and at times encrimsoncd with gore; his legs arc disngured by padded knickerbockers that suggest gigantic corns on his knecs. his football suit looks as tf it had been on intimate terms with in- numerable mud puddles, and when hc wears a regulation outfit of football armor he closely resembles dimo museum freak.
