SEVERAL state legislatures and city
councils have gotten itinto their heads
that the game OF football should be
abolished. In Georgia the agitation
has gone so far that bill has passed
both the houses OF the legislature and
is now in the hands OF the governor
for his signature. Denver aldermen
are talking about passing prohibi-
tory ordinance, but Governor Adams
has expressed himself, as being In
favor OF the game. While it is true
there is some danger in the game, the
same can be said Of almost all sports.
The game itself is all right; the Acei.
dents occurring nine times out OF ten
being caused by the players themselves
who will, sometimes, deliberately in
jure strong player Of the opposite
team rather than lose game. This
is the great drawback to football aud
new rules are constantly being intro
dueed TO prevent this possibility. With

velops not only muscle but ability to
think and act rapidly with bravery
and without hesitation, a training
that comes very useful in the battle
OF life. Pick out man who is opposed
TO football and he will usually be
found with physique which reminds
one Of a hat.pin run through a cork
and who could not run upa hlght OF
stairs without fainting at the top
from sheer exhaustion. Rob Burdette
says that one Of the happiest moments
OF his life was when his boy came
home one afternoon and exclaimed,
Father, have been elected captain
of our football team" Another thing
In its favor is the fact that players are
total abstainers from tobacco or in
toxicants in any form. They have &c

An Intere.tlng indian nIrd.

one of the most beautiful and elabo-
rate nests known is that OF the baya
bird. native OF India.
The structure, which might easily be
mistaken for a closely-woyen flask
shaped basket of human manufacture,
consists of three COM 7drtments. The
first. in the long tubular entrance,
might be called the sitting and sleep
ing room. which when the little birds
are strong enough, they occupy with
their parents, having before been kept
in the inner compartment or nursery;
the third is placed by the side OF the
nursery; and its use is not quite un-
derstood, though II is thought by some
to be the especial property OF the
male. But the strangest part OF the
furnishing and completion OF the nests
remains to be told. When otherwise
finished, the nest is studded with balls
Of soft clay, which the natives declare
are used as candlesticks, for in each
one the baya fastens a firehy.

has converted all his wine into spirit.

Mrs. Jerolamen had to speak to her

church member, being one of the or

A suit has just been decided in Judge
Cifford's court which is OF great i'm
portance 10 wage eArners
An employe OF railroad alleging
damages to the extent Of s25, 900 for
being blacklisted and thus deprived Of
an opportunity to labor has received
judgment in his favor to the amount
OF s2l ,666 80
There can be no question as to the
injustice OF blacklisting men whose
only fault, IL II may be called fault,
is that OF engaging in a strike. While
a corporation has perfect right to Sc
lect its employees, 1t has no right to
prevent men from obtaining work
elsewhere.
This position has been maintained
by wage workers ever since the custom
referred to came INTO vogue, and now
it has been sustained by q verdict
granting q very large sum Of money in
the way Of damages.
II the boycott is an illegal weapon in
the hands OF the workingmsn, as has
been decided by the Missouri courts,
much more is the blacklist an illegal
weapon in the hands OF cor ations.
1t is not likely that the case will
rest here without any further contest,
but point has been gained tending to
strengthen the claim that men have q
right to labor, and that corporations
exceed their authority when they de-
prive former employees Of that right
through the use OF the blacklist.

neyed they bacame very thirsty, for in
certain parts OF Arizona water is
scarce. All day long they journeyed
and animals and men were nigh per-
lshing. when, lol It was as the guide
had foretold-they reached a cooling
spring where the water gushed forth
from under a great rock. But there was
man with a rife in his hands and two
pistols in his belt, and this man said he
ovued the spring. His price for water
was 81 for bucket So our friends
purchased water and drank and gave
to the animals Rattlesnake Pete re-
marked. as he went away. to the gem
tleman who owned the water: ANY
man who jumps one OF God Almighty's
springs would sell water to his father
in helli" Some months after Rattle
snake Pete went back that way with
his friend Alkall Smith and the man
at the springs died, and Pete and his
friends buried him in the valley down
below the spring, and over the grave
they heaped a pile OF stones; and then
they set a stake in the center OF the
stones and on the stake are these
words. "The gent under these here
stones thought the springs was his'n,
but lie were mistaken"
