ED HOWE Is NOT SPORTY
He is Quite Severe on College Foot
ball Playing.
(From the Atchison Globe)

Sy111 "
We have a notion to go to Lawrence
on Saturday and see the foot ball game
between teams from Iowa and Kansas
universities. We feel it in our bones
that the Iowa team will wipe the earth
with the Kansas team, and want to see
it done. There is so much foot ball talk
around the Kansas institution as to
seriously interfere with it's usefulness.
The football talk not only interrupts
the studies of those connected with
the team but dozens of other students
take so much interest in the game as to
seriously interfere with their college
duties If the Kansas team is badly de-
feated next Saturday, it will result in q
loss of enthusiasm, and possibly failure
to organize a team next season.

The most extraordinary costume worn
in religious ceremony is that of the
priests of Il hill tribe near Darjceling,
in lndia.
A photograph Of II group of these Pc
culiar priests has just been brought back
from India. All of them wear masks of
enormous size, painted in the most hid
eous manner. possibly by the priestly
artists. The colCrs are chiefly bright red
and yellow. The faces have strangely
shaped noses. eyes and ears, and mary
other things are done to make them Us
striking as possible.
When all these priests are engaged in
one of the elaborate ceremonies of their
religion, the scene surrasses anything
OH the comic oTCra stage. The fierce hill
men OF DarjCcling are very much im-
pressed by tie the sight Of the repre-
sentativcs of their gods deCked out in
this fashion.
One mask indicates that its wearer
represents the god who looks after the
spears Of the tribcsmCn and helps 20
drive them home. Another deity cares
for the bows and arrows, etc. The war
rior who hopes to do gCCd work with
any of these weapons must literally
propitiatc tie priests.
The hill men have II particularly great
ceremony one Il year, when, led by
their priests, they go out on to the plain
and indulge in w;ulike exercises, bid
ding defiance to all creation. The city
of Duriceling, being III the hills, is used
to a considerable extent ms a health sta
ton by British residents i'll India. The
surrounding country, also called Oar
jecling, is inhabited by Il fierce race,
who are only kept in order ly %judicious
treatment. Many CT them have enlisted
in the Anglo-Indian mniy.-San Fran
