he was sorry that the disappointment

WARFARE OF CLASSES.
Modern Football Mere Play to Yale's OIL
Freshman-Sophomor Struggle.

Modern Football Mere Play to Yale's Old
Freshman Sophomore Struggle.
The organization and development OF
intercollegiate athletics now absorb
much Of the energy that used to be
given to the furious internecine warfare
Of classes. From time immemorial there
were mighty games Of football on the
New Haven green, in which whole
classes engaged. The freshmen posted
their formal challenge on the bulletin
of lyceum. and the supercilious accept
ance Of tho sophomores named the day
for the struggle. "Oome." cried the
class Of go.
And like sacrifices In their trim
TO the FIRE eyed maid Of smoky war,
All hot and bleeding will we offer you.
And the Tyrt@us of '58 cheered hi,
mates with the noble lines:
Let them come on, tho baseborn crewi
Each soil stained churl-alackl
What gain they but splitter skull
A sod for their base back!
On the bloody day appointed both
sides massed in heavy column with Ma.
poleonic tactcis, while the New Haver
fathers surrounded the field. When the
round leather ball was kicked, 200 men
clashed together i'll frantic, showing,
dusty, roaring chaos, the one side striv.
ing to kick the ball to the Chapel street
fence, the other to force it to the steps
of the statehouse. Swift runners hung
upon the outskirts 10 seize the ball
chance directed TO their feet, and hurry
1t amid full gazing applause to the goal.
But it was in the middle press where
deeds were uncrowned, where shirts be
came streamers and rib squeezed rit
until they cracked, that the heroes OF
war and the college bully were to be
found. From this Titanic struggle thu

Slave dealing in Constantinople, al
we know, always exists, and the wife
Of u pasha is not above the wretched
business. Richard Davey, in his book.
"The Sultan and His Subjects" says:
"a good deal Of Turkish traffic in
slaves is conducted in the following
manner ON very we'll conceived com
mercial principles: The wife Of a pasha,
as q matter Of speculation, purchases
two ""or three little girls for trifie,
either from slave dealer or some poor
woman, generally Christian, possibly
a Bulgarian refugee who is unable to
bring up her own children. The lady
educates each child, teaches it those ac-
complishments which are indispensable
to harem life. such as singing, dancing
and playing on musical instruments,
washing. starching, ironing, embroid-
cry and even little cookery. To this
may be added q smattering Of some for
eign language and very elementary
knowledge Of Turkish caligraphy. When
tho child is grown up, il she is hand
some tho lady turns her to account
and literally repays herself for her
trouble by selling her at high figure
to some pasha Of her acquaintance
through the medium Of one Of the well
known old women whose business it Is
to carry out transactions of that sort. 7"
