GAZETTE: FRIDAY SEMI wEEKIY
FOOTBALL.

An exchange prints the following
lines on the great American pastime:
Of the struggle sanguinary,
OF the battle fierce that followed,
All too weak and tame my pen is
To tell half the things that happened
pened
Ere the first half was half ended,
Two big fellows were disabled,
Stretched at length upon the green
sward,
Ears were torn from off their moorings,
AS some stately ocean courses
From her anchor by the tempest.
Eyes were gouged out from their
sockets,
Ribs were broken without number,
Dislocated the patellas
Of half dozen athletes,
And the ground about the gridiron
Reeked with gore like an abattoir,
And as each one got his congo,
Loud the crowd that filled the grand
stand
Shouted "habet" as the Romans
Did at combats gladiatorial
Yelled like Indians at a corn dance
Yelled like Indians full of corn juice,
Brandished canes bedecked with rib
bons,
footed on their horns and pounded
On the seats like men demented.
Cheered whene'er a rib was broken,
Yelled whene'er some husky fellow
Hors de combat from the melee
Was dragged out upon the greensward,
And the girlish debutante,
And the veteran campaigner,
And the preacher and the lawyer,
And the solid man of business,
Cheered and clapped their hands to-
gether
When the fight got hot as hades
On the gridiron by the grand stand
But at last the fray was ended,
And from off the muddy gridiron
Limped at lot of crippled athletes,
Banged up, bunged up, frazzled, played
out.
Then the crowd that in the grand stand
For three hours had sat and shiveret
Took their homeward way contented
Fighting DER again the battle,
Wondering how it is that people
In this age of schools and churche!
Can endure the brutal prize fight.

There is much skirmishing and not q
little sharp fighting going on in Northern
India but the greater contest is just now
transferred to England itself, where the
future policy of Great Britain touching
this very Indian question is being active
~ discussed. Some advocate what is
known as the forward policy" others
are more peaceably disposed and hold such
policy to be imprudent and dangerous.
The London Daily Mail selects Mr.. job n
Morley and Sir George White as expon-
ents, respectively, of these opposing views.
The forward military view, as was to be
expected, is ably espoused by most officers
of the army and their knowledge and ex-
perience of Indian affairs ought to be
taken into account. There can be little
doubt that If Britain does not put down
these tribesmen with a strong hand they
will be an endless source of annoyance
and danger, about as troublesome,
though on vastly larger scale, as were
cur own Indians when through the
cupidity of certain traders the breech
loader was permitted to fall into their
hands. England can afford to take no
s'step backward" otherwise these tribes
men will fall to the care of some other
civilized nation and continue, only more
SO, to be a thorn in the side of England
and surely great menace to British
India.

THE. BEAR AND THE wHEELMAN.

(TraveD
Right in the middle of the track was a
black bear, about 4 feet high and 6 feet
long. We had never seen Bruin before
outside the Zoo or in the cage Of a per-
ambulating menagerie. So we were in
terested and the interest took the shape
of tightness across the chest and a quick
ness of breathing such as you feel when
easy and happy go-lucky in your r.nd.
The bear was interested in us, End evil
IDENTIFY glad to see US. He ga, a grunt,
slowly wagged his head and began to
advance. At first we thought of amusing
him by reminisc noes of stale buns given
to his species when we were younger and
less callous of heart. Yet we cooked our
revolve-s in case there should be any dis
putting the fact, though we knew bullet
from six-shooter would have as much
effect upon the hide of a bear as pea
shooter would have in wounding an ele-
plant.
'Now, don't fire until he's within arm s
reach; then drive into his eyes or open
mouth" That was the arrangement.
We halted ready for action. So did
our friend the enemy, and we saw he was
scanning us with scornful eyes. He
moved to get side view. Hes funk
ing it; he's frightened" we said, with
lowered voice. BY way of answer the bear
came on four strides at trot, and up
went the reyolvers.
Bruin hesitated. He was considering
He was something Of philosopher, and
evidently thought "They are only a
couple Of lanky, heshless cyclists; what
would be the good of killing themf"
On which sage reflection he turned
about and sauntered up the mountain

The cause of the disaster on the New
York Central road can only be determined
with certainty by thorough examina-
ton. A retaining wall gave way, but
why after standing there for many years
and showing no sign outward of weak
ness or displacement and sustaining the
weight Of heavy train only fifty min.
utes before 1t should suddenly collapse is
mystery which cannot be explained ia
present. There had been no rains or
freshets to undermine it, and it was a
structure of the solidest character as all
built by the New York Central railroad
are. 1t is altogether likely as Mr. Depew
says, that the accident was one that no
human foresight could have prevented.
No railroad in the country has been more
careful about it's roadbed than this
one, and no expenditure has
been spared to make. it safe. Track walk
ers are constantly going over it to dis
cover and report any defect which NAV
appear and only short time before the
train plunged into the river thew had
reported the road bed all right at the point
where the disaster happened. Further
more only fifty minutes before a very
heavy train had passed over it all right
When the nature of the accident is con-
sidered 1t is a miracle that the fatalities
were not far in excess of the number re-.
norted.

S. G. Stevens, proprietor of canning
factory in Brooklin, had rather unpleas-
ant experience one day last week. He
went to Boston from Ellsworth on the
night train, and some time before he
reached his destination was relieved of
his pocketbook. containing between $50
and $40. He discovered his loss before
leaving the train, but without thinking
OF his penniless condition, boarded a car
to go uptown. When the conductor came
to him for fare he was unable to produce
the necessary nickel. Now, while Mr..
Stevenss credit is excellent in Maine,
the conductor didn't know him, and COM
PEELED him to get off and walk. Mr.. Ste
yens, after walking some miles over Bos-
toms paved walks, readily found some
business men who could cash a check for
him, and he was then able to continue
his journey to New York.

STATE TOPICS OF INTEREST

Fred LeFranc, of Milo, has q hen
which he is thinking of entering in the
next big poultry show held in any part of
this great country. Mr.. LeFrano has a
tad like all men, and his fad is raising
hens. he has one of the best henneries in
Piscataquis county, and he makes the
business pay. Ii ell of his hens were like
particular one which he is telling his
friends about, he would be rich man in
very few years.
The other day he went into the hennery
and found that one of the hens was on a
nest. She had not laid, to his knowledge,
for several days and he thought that she
was sick. Anyway he made up his mind
that he would watch her and see il she
intended to lay an egg that day or just
make bluff at it. He waited and waited
and finally biddy dropped the egg. She
got up OF the edge of the nest and SOW
that she had fulfilled her part of the con-
tract with LeFranc, and SO she jumped
down.
Just at this time bright idea struck
LeFranc. He saw that the hen when she
laid the egg. got up and looked around
and then jumped out of the nest. He be-
lfeved that If some scheme could be ar
ranged so that the egg would drop through
the nest after the hen had laid it, when
she got up and found no egg there she
would lay another.
LeFranc went to work and fixed trap
in the bottom of the nest and filled box
of sawdust SO that the eggs would not
break when they dropped into it. He had
the trap arranged SO that it would fly
back after the hen laid the egg, and
when She got up she would find the nest
was empty. The same hen that he had
previously watched was the first one to
try the new nest. She laid one egg and
it dropped through the trap. She arose
and looked around and there was no egg
to be seen. Believing that she had not
carried out her intention she laid another,
and she kept laying, SO LeFranc says,
until % eggs had been deposited in the
box of sawdust underneath the nest. Le-

There is still good deal of money
in the range cattle business and we
have a case in point Of view. Early
last summer the Eddy-Bissell cattle
company OF Colorado decided to close
out their business, and offered their
stock of cattle for sale. Moore, Viii
liams & Good Of the Texas Panhandle
purchased the entire stock of cattle
which was estimated at between fifteen
and sixeeen thousand head. During
the past three months 1000 head, in
cluding 1000 calves, have been resold,
with enough steer calves now on hand
to pay for the entire purchase, leaving
the firm 43g00 cows and half as many
heifer calves, as their profit on the
transaction. These with the bulls on
the range will give them clear profit
of at least $4,000 on the deaL-South-
western Stockman.
