Temper and Football.

At football all manner Of men have
played at the ends Of the rush line-an
ideal man would be a composite of all
the other men on the team
He would be about feet 10 in height
and would weigh about 165 or 16S He
would have the speed of half, the
quickness Of quarter, the bulldog
pluck and nerve of a guard, and the
brain of captain. In addition to all
these (and contrary to the opinions Of
most people) he would have a quick
temper. There is nothing in football
nor indeed in any form of athletics in
compatible with little of the "Old
Adam. nor is there anything like an
ger to put life and fire into tired man
late in hard fought game.
One can be as angry as he may and
still be a gentleman. Temper, properly
directed and controlled, will add fierce
ness to ones tackles, speed to his run
ming and strength to his blocking, as
nothing else on earth will do and many
the captains there are who. knowing
this, have stirred up their wearied men
with harsh words Of command which
they themselves realized were unmerited
simply to make their teams work harder
and faster.-College Athlete.

Doctor Gives What He Calls Cold

~ don't like to upset a cherished

talk one hears of nicotine saturating the
systems of smokers is mostly rot Nico-

of men who die from excessive tobacco

literally reeking with nicotine. All

chief harm done by smoking is the
stimulus which it gives to the heart.
This Is particularly true of cigarette
smoking. where 'inhaling' is nearly al

Each time the smoke is inhaled it
acts as slight spur to the heart, and,
needless to say, there is sure to BIZ a re-
action If the smoker is in good general
health, he will probably never feel it,
but if he isn't there will be periods of
profound depression, and, not knowing
the cause, he is apt to try to brace up
on drink, which makes matters lust
that much worse. If he has organic

Unfortunate Mary woIistonecraft.
Conspicuous among the brilliant and
beautiful women Of her time was the
lovely and every way unfortunate Mary
WollstOnecraft Goodwin, the first agita-
tor OF the question Of woman 8 rights. I"
No woman. with the exception of Mme
de Stael, made so great an impression
ON the public mind. Her new and
startling doctrines were seized with an
avidity scarcely credible at this day,
and her famous book, "The Vindication
of the Rights of Women,' was the
theme Of the most universal praise and
abuse.
Thomas Paine, the author of 1.-THE
Rights of Man." was one of her IA
miliar acquaintance, but their inter-
course was an argument, their views
neither on this subject nor any other
coinciding. In these arguments Paine
either lost his temper or became sulky,
and the woman champion won an easy
victory.
Until her marriage with Mr.. Goodwin
she was the friend of Mrs. Siddons, but
she, with the majority of her admirers,
declined to sanction this union, for she
had married some years before an
American called Inlay, to whom she
had been a most devoted wife. The
man, however, took advantage of the
fact that the marriage was only civil
one. performed in Paris, and deserted
her. She then married Mr.. Goodwin,
but this act placed her in position no
charity could explain away. Death,
however, soon covered her faults with
a pitiful oblivion. She left an infant
daughter few hours old, who after.
ward became the wife of Percy Bysshe
Shelley.

Field and the Street Araha.

McClure's Magazine relates the fol-
lowing anecdote of Eugene Field, whose
fondness for children was his dominant
trait:
Never was man more devoted to his
wife. Nevertheless ON the day that
made her his he was guilty of keeping
her waiting for him at the church The
bridal party had assembled and were
rapidly becoming uneasy At length,
after an anxious delay, some one went
out In search Of the missing bridegroom.
He was found on the street a short
distance away. down on his knees in
the mud, absorbed in settling dispute
between two small street arabs, which
had arisen over game of marbles. Lis
tening with eager interest to the testi.
mony vociferated at either ear by the
belligerent parties and their friends and
trying to evolve a peace compromise
ont OF very lively quarrel, he was alb
ruptly reminded that just then he had
something more important to attend to.
and fastened penitently away to make
his anxious bride Mrs Field.
