SPARKS FROM
 THE FOOTBALL FIELD

Now that the project of bringing out an Eastern football team to play in this clty on Christmas and New Year days has fallen through the football team repre- senting the blue and gold has turned it's eyes toward other lands. It is definitely settled that the University of California eleven will go away during the Christmas
 There was a choice between the south and the north, and the collegians selected the north. On the Monday following Christmas day the University of Califor- mia will line up against the Multnomahs of Portland, in that city. The Portlanders are a strong aggregation, having met many of the best teams in the north and victory has been their portion. The Uni versity of California eleven is the present championship team of the State, and 1t is thought by people hereabouts that the Portland team will prove an easy mark for the young university athletes.
 After the Thanksgiving game the blue and gold eleven went out of training, and the men are still far away from the inf1u- ence of training restrictions. The ream will leave here on the 24th of December. As soon as the examinations have been completed active training will be resumed and the men will be brought together for team play. There will be no active, reg ular practice games, but outdoor running and gymnasium work to condition the wind and muscles for the fight in Port land.

 A communication was received from the Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club announc- ing that the club had withdrawn it's del- egates from the bund meetings on ac- count of the German language being spoken exclusively.

This suspicion IS based principally upon the fact that up to the present time the officers of the old bund have not made statement. of how the finances stand, although it has all ways been the custom to have the report of the managers published for the benefit of the rifiemen of the entire country.
 Owing to the fact that Christmas falls on the third Sunday in this month all of the rifle clubs accustomed to. shoot on that day have advanced the shoot to the 18th inst.

Not strange because It happens every day,
not romantic OF thrilling, but Just a story Of
misery and suffering such as only women
know.
For eighteen years, Sara E. Bowen, Of
Peru, Indiana, carried burden Of pain.
Night and day, without respite, size suf-

fell to the lot Of woman.
That she did not die is almost beyond
belief.
That she Is well to-day is miracle.
Mrs. Bowen's trouble requires no descrip-
ton beyond the symptom, which every
woman will instantly recognize.
In describing them Mrs. Bowen says:
For eighteen years suffered with
weakness peculiar to my sex.
"Iwas broken down piece Of human

My brain was tortured until could re-

Some Examples of His Unconsious
Humor.
On his first visit to Aberdeen an Eng
lish commercial traveller, having re-
ceiyed some marks of kindness from
one of its inhabitants, exclaimed, in
an offhand way, on his departure:
"If at any time you or any of your
people come up to London, don't put
up at hotel, but come to u.s."
"Oh, thank yet" replied the Scot, la
conically. and away the southron went.
Six months passed, and the English
man had long forgotten the incident,
when, to his surprise, he received one
morning the following note:
my Dear Friend: AS myself, my wife
and four children are coming up % Lon
don for fortnight, we will be glad to
avail ourselves of your kind invitation"
Facing the situation with unquestion-
able courage, the southerner put him
self to unutterable inconvenience to ac-
commodate his guests. He took them
everywhere, paid for everything. and,
at the end of the stipulated time, they
announced their departure. The host
accompanied them to the station, and in
the fullness Of his gratitude at the ex-
odus, invited the father to have a part
ing drink.
Come along, old fellow! What is
it to be? Whisky and soda, as usual!

time he dreamed that he caught the

termined the question, thinking as he
woke from the dream that he would
now have no difficulty. But on re-
turning to the fossil something in the
dream had escaped him, and he could
no more determine the species than be-
fore. The next morning he had the
same dream. and again forgot the
essential point. He then determined to
take pencil and paper with him to
bed, and make his note as soon as he
awoke. The dream came the third
time. but to his surprise when fully
awakening he found the drawing made
and lying on the table Mt his bedside
with three bones displayed in 1t which
were not visible in the fossil. and which
solved the problem. On returning to
