Chicago's fullback belongs the honor Of
winning the game. His punting was one
of the features, and his goal from the field,
kicked from the forty yard line, Went
cleanly between the goal posts. On the
Michigan side Pingree, in the first half,
was the ''whole thing" the plucky little
fellow seldom failing to make the required
distance He was, however, forced to re-
tire in the second half, his place being
taken by Ferbert, who was equally effect
i've Michigan made frequent use of the
famous Princeton tackle and guard back
plays, which were very effective.
One thing at least was settled by the
game, and that is that indoor football is,
literally and fguratively speaking, howl
ing success. The men had no trouble in
catching punts and football was played
on its merits, without the handicaps Of
wet field or a strong wind. Toward the
end of the second hal II got very dark,

The MOtherly Landlady.

A friend of mine changed his board. ing place last week, going to one of those houses that advertise home com. forts and a motherly landlady, which generally means that she is a person who will pry into one's private affairs and read long letters left lying about. This particular landlady happens to re- gard drinking and smoking as particu- lar devices of the devil. so when my friend began to praise new brand of tobacco at the dinner table the othez night she saw her chance and promptly ohipped into the conversation.
 Smoking makes men utterly selfish, " she said, as a starter, enunciating her words as if she were saving ice into symmetrical blocks.
 My friend was dazed for 8 moment, for he had not much experience with people who denounce everything as wrong which they do not personally fancy, but he quickly recovered and an- swered: Possibly so, but after all it's a stand of, for abstinence from smoking seems to make people deucedly impolite. Or possibly you indulge ittleG So many of the ladies enjoy their cigarettes nowadays."

ATTEMPT AT BUYING LAND.

1t Requires Tact to Buy Timber Land In
 the Mountains.
 It requires time and tact to buy mountain land. The following is typ ical experiences:
 "I was riding along Tug river, in Kentucky, when I saw tract of land upon which concluded it would pay to erect a small sawmill. I hunted up the owner, finding him seated on log fish ing.
 Do you own this land?'
 "'Sh', stranger! Fust bite I've hed,' he answered in a stage whisper. In about minute he caught fish, and l repeated my question.
 "'Got any baccer?' he asked. I gave him chew, and in a few minutes he said, Which land?'
 That land along the road for a mile back
 "'Yaas.'
 "'How much have you?'
 'Whar you frum?'
 "'Ohicago. How much land have you?'
 Five thousand acres.
 "What do you ask for it?'
 "'Waal, it's worth $2O an acre, but fer cash I'll swap fer $1O an acre. Kain't talk bout it now. Hev ter ketch fish fer supper.
 ''I sat on a log beside him for three hours, neither of us saying word, un- til he arose and started home, while mounted my horse and followed.
 ''That night got as far as to see his deed for the land and get description. "'It may be little short, he said, 'an I reckon I'd take $40 fer it without surveyin.
 'No inducement would move him from that figure, so went on to the next tract, which did not want, the timber being too thin.
 How much does Phillips want for his land?' asked.
 "'Thousan dollars.
 "Can you buy it for me?'
 "'How much is there of it?
 "A thousand acres
 II reckon.
 "Two weeks later I received deed, paid $1, and when surveyed the tract measured 98O acres. ''-Washing- ton Star.

OLD FRiENDs.

Theae are no friends like old friends, And none SO good and true. We greet them when we meet them As roses greet the dew. No other friends are dearers
 Though born of kindred mold, And though we prize the new ones We treasure more the old. There are no friends like old friends, Where'er we dwell or roam, In lanes beyond the ocean
 Or noar the bounds of home. And when they smile to gladden. Or sometimes frown to guide, We fondly wish these old friends Were always by our side. There are no friends like old friends To help us with the load That all must bear who journey Der iife's uneven road And when unconQuered sorrows The weary hours invest, Tho kindly words of olJ friends Are always found the best. There are no friends like old friends To calm our frequent fears When shadows fall and deepen
 Through life's declining years. And wlcn our faltcring footsteps Approach the great divide, We'll long to meet the old friends Who wait the other side. David Banks Sickle in New York Ledger.

CARLYLE AND THE CABBY

How the Latter Lost the Trade of the
 Great Philosopher.
 Carlyle was we'll known to London cabmen. For years he engaged partic- ular driver from the rank and refused to have any other. This man, however, lost his custom in 8 somewhat peculiar manner.
 Some medical students got to know of his preference for the driver, and, getting hold of the driver one day, they inquired if he knew who his fare was, when he told them he did not. The stu dents informed him that he was one of the most famous and eccentric writers of the day, and, giving him book, ad- vised him to appear to be reading if whenever Carlyle approached the stand.
 Oabby, without any suspicion. acted on their advice, and when the old sage next came for a cab he seemed deeply impressed in very pretentious book
 "Hello! Wha's that you're readin?" inquired the Ecclefechan philosopher.
 "A most bout an hout, tiptop, splen- did book about that 'ere French revolu- tion," was cabby's gushing reply.
 "Eh, what dae ye say? Let me see it," said Carlyle, holding out his hand.
 "Oh, certainly, sir, said the driver, handing him a copy of his History of the French Revolution.
 "Weel, my man" inquired the sage, apparently delighted, "are ye sure that you're readin this work intelligentlyr" Perfectly sure," said the jehu conf- dently. Then, thinking he ought to say something in praise of the book, he added, "Why, sir, it's almost as good as The Newgate CalendarP ''
 The grim old Dumfriesian glared al him, grunted out something, turned ab. ruptly around and engaged the next cab From that day Carlyle never looked at him, but stuck to the second man, who happened to have had the honor of driving most of the distinguished mer of the century. .-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Bone Castings.

Mistake is made by many "home dressmakers" in putting on bone cas- ings drawn very tightly. They should be left loose-nven wrinkled-as the bones when inserted will bring them to their proper arching shape on the in- side. Whalebone soaked in warm water an hour before using render them more pliable. Belt ribbon should never be sewed to the underarm seams. Bent hooks should be chosen for fastenings, setting on first hook and then an eye, and so on alternately down the bodice, and it will never unlock of itself. Waist Things are cut an inch longer than the outside to allow for the stretching of the outside material. The extra length is taken up gradually in the seams.

 Trick on VisieOEs.
 The elephant at the Jardin des Plantes at Paris used to play his visit ors trick which could not have been thought of but by an animal of much intelligence. His house opened upon an inclosure called the Elephants park, containing a pond, in which he would lay himself under the water, ooncealing every part of him except the very end of his trunk-a mere speok that would hardly be noticed by stranger to the animals habits.
 A crowd would assemble around the inclosure, and, not seeing him in it., would watch in expectation that he would soon issue from the house. But while they were gazing about . copious sprinkling of water would fall upon them, and ladies and gentlemen, with their fine bonnets and coats, would run for shelter under the trees, looking up at the clear sky and wondering whence such @ shower could come.
 Immediately afterward. however, they would see the elephant rising slowly from his bath, evincing, as it seemed, au dWAWaHO JOy aG tu0 GGAOA GuAC uo had played. In the course of time his amusement became generally known. and the moment the water began to rise from his trunk the spectators would take flight, at which he appeared ex- ceedingly delighted, getting up as fast as he could to see the hustle he had caused. .-Pittsburg Dispatch.
