Considerable interest is being taken by
game between Columbian College and All
Washington teams Eoeh teams are cor
fident Of victory, and if the weather con
tinues fair there Will doubtless be big
turnout TO witness the contest, which will
take place at noon on Columbia Field.
The fact of 10th teams being composed
exclusively of Washington players adds
very considerably to the interest, and
both elevens VIII be sure TO have full
quota OF enthusiastic voters on hand-when
the game begins.
The lineup of the Columbian team has
been practically decided upon and the men
have been doing active practice for several
days past. Back of the line the team
Will be very strong with the addition of
Don Fugitt, Jack Gass and Senior, all of
them being star players from the Lehigh

These men have been working together

its own against the All Washington for
wards.
Meigs, who played such a fine game on
the Eastern High School team in the cham
pionship games, will play at tackle for
Columbian, and no doubt his admirers among
the high scnool players Will be on hand to
watch his work i'll the coming game. Beard
and Carroll Fugitt will play the ends, while
Loucks, the other tackle, S considered the
strongest man in the whoie line. Kelley or
Beall will be seen at quarter, and both
of them are clever players. AS has been
said GaSs and Senior will play the halves,
while Don Fugitt will be at fullback
The AllWashington team is composed
almost entirely OF Columbia Athletic
players, and in case the expected celebri.
ties do not materaliZe, the lineup will
be exclusively composed OF the Winged
Arrow kickers.
All-Washington Lineup.
The team will very likely be almost
identical with the one which played Co
lumbian last year on Thanksgiving Day.
Spectators will remember what battle
royal that contest was, and how narrow
the margin by which the C. A. C. boys
won the game. The meeting OF the teams
this year will doubtless be marked by
an equally stubborn struggle, with the
odds slightly in favor OF Columbian, by
reason of her strong backs.
Columbian students are enthusiastic over
the chances OF their team and fully eX-
pect to win the game. Promptly at l2
o'clock the ball will be put in play thus
enabling all spectators To get home in time
for Christmas dinners.
Mr.. Reeve Lewis has been selected as

as yet but they will be c. \. c. men.

The interest in the big sx-da inter

increase, both among local wheelmen and
those of the country at large. Manager
Tow ers has received more applications for
entries during the past few days than at
any time since the entries were opened, and
they are still pouring steadily in.
Because OF the limited size of the track
the number OF contestants must OF neces-
sity be confined to something like
dozen, but notwithstanding this fact,
number of the applicants continue their in
sistent demands for entrance. 1t Is true
that under the l.. A. w rules the meet

equally true that, as manag ger or the

apparent that the capacity ofthe track is
taxed and the safety of the contestants

The PerilOus Plight of a Soldier in Chi aw nese Thibet.
 V An amusing story is told of the Eng fish officer who determined to enter Chinese Thibet by stratagen. He man. aged to cross the frontier at night, and so escaped the guard.
 On the following day, however, while the officer was journeying deeper into Thibet, the Thibetan soldiers overlook him, and informed him that as the country was unsafe because of rob- bers, they would go with him in order to protect him, to which arrangement the traveller was compelled to agree. In a few hours they came to river, which was crossed by a rope bridge. } The Thibetans passed over first, in or der to show that the bridge was safe, and then the official got into the moose and was pulled along by the Thibetans, Suddenly, however, they ceased pull ing, and left the Englishman hanging in midair above the rushing torrent.
 In vain the officer shouted to the Thibetans to pull. They merely smoked and nodded their heads. The hours passed, and still the officer hung above the torrent. At last the Thibetans agreed to pull him back if he would leave Tibet immediately. This, of course, he was compelled to do, and took his departure from the forbidden land.

ANOTHER ICE PERIOD.
A Predicted Result of Cutting the Isthmus

A Predicted Result of Cutting the Isthmus
 of Panama.
 "The best scientific authorities pre- dict dire effects from the cutting of canal through either the Isthmus of Panama or Tehuantepec. The late George R. Marsh said of this that a new ice period might be occasioned by the withdrawal of so important source of warmth from the northern zones, and Sir John Herschel wrote: Were the Isthmus of Panama broken through there is no doubt that the whole climate of our island Great Britain) would un- dergo a most notable deterioation.' The sum of S9,0OO,O0O has been voted by the legislature of the state of New York for improving the Erie canal sys- tenn; the Hennepin canal has had $1,- 100000 spent on it, and work has stopped until new appropriations can be made. Matt Quay is using his influence for the construction of a ship canal from Pitts burgh to Lake Erie, to cost $16,O0O,0 ,0OO, and ship canal from Philadelphia to New York, besides advocating the ex- penditure of $5O, 1000, ,0OO in canalizing the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. One of the most stupendous of these engineering works is the Chicago drainage canal, now in progress, which is to cut the divide which bars the way between Chicago and the Mississippi river. The distance is only 30 miles between Lake Michigan and the Illinois river, and one can easily see the startling nature of union of the great lakes and the father of waters.'"

Nature Paints of Negroes,

r A writer in Progress Artistique, il discussing the music of south Africa. says the races living there possess to an astonishing degree the faculty of assimilation and imitation. They re- produce with surprising fidelity the songs of birds, cries of animals and the various sounds of nature. Child-people, they receive in their otherwise obtuse brains impressions of freshness and vivid intensity. Their long solitary wandering upon hills and prairies, unit ed with feeting association with for eigners, results in species of melodic nature plaints, as one might imagine, developed monkey music.

A Periodically Humorous Story Told of
 Cumberland Mountain Farmer.


 Cumberland Mountain Farmer. ! A writer in the Detroit Free Press tells a pathetically humorous story of a friend of his, Jack Negly, Cumber' land farmer. The writer had lent Jack a few dollars, with which to buy pair of steers, and had received from him many visits of apology; for Jack was an honest man, and did not enjoy being in debt.
 He was renter, and at least every other season he was occupying dlt- ferent farm. By my advice, he had moved the year before into an entirely new field. a dozen miles from his usual haunts, and I had not seen him for several months. When I did see him, at last, it was by accident as business called me into his neighborhood. As I rode past his place he hailed me from the corn-feld and came out to the fence.
 "Hello," I exclaimed. "Is this your farm?"
 "Yes, and jist come over to tell you, colonel, that I'll be ready to pay part of that claim uv your'n afore long," ;
 "You must be doing well?"
 q think I'm doing fust-rate, and I'm powerful obleeged to you, colonel, fer headin' me this way"
 "I'm always glad to help, if l can."
 q knowed that, colonel, and that's why come away over here so fer rum home. Hits kinder strange to me, but ez long ez Pm doin' ez well ez l am I'm a-goin' to stand hit"
 Are you making any money?'
 Jim's face frightened perceptibly.
 ''No, I ain't, colonel" he replied, hope fully; "but I'm losin' it slower'n I ever done in my life afore."
 It struck me as rather odd at first, but upon reflection I concluded that Jim might have reason for his hopefulness.

"There is one thing in Oakland that

elimination shown by your library trus-
tees against Catholic publications. There
are ten sectarian papers palo 1or, out
although the Monitor is sent free every
week it is forbidden a place in the files OF
your reading-rooms. The same treatment
is accorded the Star. l do not blame non
Catholics, but l b.ame Catholics. You
have known this for two months and not
one step have you made to nave me wrong
rightea. Such cowardice has no place in
the Catholic churchill is of the jelly-hsh
order.
Even Oakland library trustees cannot
withstand public opinion, and Catholics
in Oakland have no need to plead for
justice-they can compel it. If Catholics
acted as they ought, papers of their faith
would be placed on the files their taxes
pay for tomorrow, or else every sectaran
paper would be excluded, which would be
but right"
