My pansy-eyed, brown haired sweetheart
To loose worlds honors would easy be,
Could fate but promise I'd never part
From my queenly "You."
Destiny may send its shadow and sunshine
To try my soul as it has done oft before;
What do l care, so you are mine,
And the face that greets me at the door
Is yours, my sweetheart, "You."
Should ambition tempt me to climb
Fame's steep ladder, I'd gladly mount,
Tho thorns would greet would not mind,

FOOTBALL FINANCES

The season of 1896 was not a success
financially with the football association
of the Minnesota university. The
general understanding about the uni
versity halls, says the Minneapolis
Journal, is that the pas seasons
schedule has resulted in deficit OF
between $500 and $4,000. This
means that the snug little sum OF
nearly $4,000 which Manager Grant
YAM SAINT left to the credit OF the as
ISOLATION last year, when he turned
over the athletic accounts to Manager
Putnam, will be entirely consumed IN
settling up the debts Of the past sea-
son, and there is even possibility,
according to the officers OF the athletic
committee, that q subscription paper
will have to be hustled among friends
of the team before the back accounts
are all squared, Agitation in regard
to the football finances has given rise
to the speculation among many OF the
students as to whether the expendi-
ture Of a large proportion Of the foot
ball cash for II coach is wise at the
present time. Jerrems was the re-
cipient of $500 month and his eX-
penses for the three months he as
sisted the Minnesota team, and some
of the students think that this is
more than the association can afford
to pay. Those in favor of retrenching
In this matter think that some of the
numerous Minnesota alumni veterans
or other western footballists Of re-
nown could be secured at much
lower figure and would give all neces-
sary instruction to the players. Jer-
rems' pay was at the rate Of $4,000 a
year-more than many college presl-
dents get.

WISCONSIN HIGH SCHOOLS.
SOME NEW STATISTICS REGARD
ING THEM.
Three Recently Established-There
Are Now 1877 Free and Eight In
dependent In the State.

j. Q. Emery, state superintendent of
public instruction, is working on
his biennial report which he expects
to have completed the first of next
year. Willard H. Chandler, state hign
school inspector, has gathered some
statistics from his particular field of
work that will make an interesting
feature OF the state superintendent's re-
port. During the last two years seven
high schools have been established in
Wisconsin. They are in the towns of
Tomahawk, Loyal, st. Croix Falls,
Deerfeld, Albany, Union Grove and
Palmyra. The last three were author
lied only recently. The law requires
that a town desiring free high school
must first secure majority vote of all
its electors and then supply twenty
five pupils able to pass an examina-
ton conducted by the state superin-
tendent, besides having the latter's
endorsement of the corps of teachers
selected and the course of study adopt.
ed.
Wisconsin now has 1877 free and s
Independent high schools. The differ
ence between the free and the indie
pendent high school is that the former
is under more immediate supervision
of the state and in return for submit
ting to this closer espionage gets a
certain allowance annually from the
commemorative Golfers. The indie
pendent high schools have great
freedom which it's supporters be-
lieve more than offsets the dis
advantage of not receiving state
financial aid. OF the eight independ-
ant high schools three are in Milwau-
kee, two in West Superior and one
each in Oshkosh, La Crosse, and Man
itowoc
Mr.. Chambers statistics show that in
the free high schools Of the state there
are SIG teachers or the principals "A
are university or college graduates and
66 graduates Of normal schools. CT
the assistants 1874 are college or uni
versity graduates and 80 normal school
graduates Thirty eight principals
hold state certificates.

statements were also made that the
vanguard of Maceo's army had been
defeated. Moreover, it was announced
that Weyler was attempting to storm
some hill tops where Maceo was en-

SHARKEY IS STILL IN BED.
Physicians Say He'll Not Be up for
Week.

San Francisco, Dec. 5.-Sharkey,
who was knocked out by Fitzsimmons
Wednesday night, is still in bed and
watched by three physicians. They
say that he is improving, but it will
be at least a week before he RECEIVERS
from the effects of the injury that
he says he received from Fitz-
simmons in the eighth round. At
least two of the physicians who ex-
amined Sharkey since the fight do not
believe his injury was received from
Fitzsimmons or that 1t was caused by
blow at all, but the generally accepted
belief now is that he was accidentally
f6uled by Fitzsimmons. Lynch,
Sharkey's hacker, made another at
tempt to have his certificate OF deposit
for $4,000 cashed by the Anglo-Cali-
fornia bank yesterday. The bank
manager told Lynch of the superior
court injunction restraining the bank
from cashing the certificates pending
the effort of Fitzsimmons to prove
fraud and conspiracy" and declined
to pay the money. Lynch threatened
to bring suit against the bank and
manager for the amount Of the certit-
cate and also for damages for refusal
to cash the check. Sharkey has ten
DAYS in which to answer the complaint
filed by Fftzsimmons and it is not ex-
pected that the legal fight will be hur-
ried. The poll roms and book-makers
decided to cash bets yesterday and

PENSION SENSATION.
One May Be Sprung in Wisconsin-An
Iowa Case.

The next sensation that is to come
I'm the pension line is the arrest OF the
managers of the Iowa Veterans home
at Marshalltown ut the instance of the
pension bureau for requiring inmates
to pay over to the management all OF
their pensions in excess OF Sc a month.
This, ii Is claimed, is misdemeanor
under the United States law regarding
pensions and the case will be Of con-
siderable interest n Wisconsin, as q
similar practice has been followed by
the management Of the state veterans
home at Waupaca for several years.
But the Wisconsin board makes a con-
dition of admission to the home that
the applicant shall agree to give all OF
his pension over IS a month If Single
man. and all over s12. if married INTO
the general fund of the home. That
Is one Of the conditions of the printed
application which every applicant for
admissions signs, and he takes oath
that he signs the application voluntar-
lily.
