Calves Running with Cows.

IT is advisable to allow spring calves
to run in the same yards with their
dams, still giving milk. We never
found any such trouble. Sometimes
the calf will remember tho sucking
habit and may try to get near the COW
to suck. But almost Invariably the
COW will drive the calf away Cows at

LESSON Of THE PRESENT.
Recent History Has Pointed Out the
Absolute Necessity of Good
Country Roads.

II may be seriously questioned
whether any country that can bs
elassed among the civilized nations q,
the earth can show such poor wagon
roads as the United States. unless il be
Russia and the smaller principalities OF
southeastern Europe. The early settle,
ments in the United States were mainly
along the banks of navigable waters
and the steam railway came SO soon
after commerce developed between the
growing towns that the roads, which
had in some cases been started, were
.sg
In Europe, wagon roads were con-
structed long before the introduction
OF steam. and conditions there have
made it necessary TO maintain and de-
velop them. II is only within ten years
that America has begun to learn how
much she loses from the present bad
condition of her highways. and Is at last
beginning TO set about improvements
in earnest.

HOW TO PLAY GUARD.
The Man Should Have Unusual
Strength and Good Head.
Position Factor

foSltIOu y dcNOF.
Ii there can be man made who has
enormous strength, large build and
great agility, that man is model foot
ball guard, always considering that a
cool head goes with the combination.
The qualities are seldom found together,
and for that reason it is is only now and
then that new record is made in this
position. Such a man as the famous
Heffeltnger is not born every day; he
could not only topple over mass plays
with the sangfroid of giant, but he
could skip down the field in the inter-
ference ahead of the speediest half-back.
Not much wonder that his services were
invaluable to team. | would not ad-
wise man to attempt to be guard
simply because he is big and heavy, that
does not mean success. There are so
many requirements in this position that
the mere standing still and posing your
weight is not of much aid.
The first study in the art OF guard play
is to figure out the proper position for
both defence and offence tactics. You
should be within haiing distance of the
centre and near enough to the tackle to
hurry his way in case of trouble. Ex-
perience alone can teach one how this
difficult feat can be managed. 1t is best
done by studying the positions of the op-
posing players and in that way reading
what scheme they propose to put into
operation. If football play is known
before it is started there is no question
that it can be stopped rather suddenly;
therefore the nearer man can size up
the situation SO much nearer will he be
to the tackling spot in the coming play.
1t has become custom to put So many
plays around and at a guard that in de-
fensive work perhaps comes the strongest
difficulty. He should stand low, with q
good brace against hard prsh, and
should SO change his position from time
to time that the enemy will not become
accustomed to ones style of play. 1t is
possible to bring in not little craftness,
frequently indicating what you do not in
tend to do. Only those players, however,
who have Eeen through mang games can
afford to take chances of leaving an open
ing in their attempts to fool their oppo-
nents. In plays that come directly at the
guard, If he cannot break forward quick
ly enough to drop them back Of the line,
he should throw himself at the feet of
the men and grab all the legs he can
The one weakness of mass playing is the
fact that it is go close that if one man in
the combination trips or falls the others
come down like ninepins. 1t is not
pleasant to face fourteen hard running
legs with ones head, but it is necessary

if guard desires to stop such plays
without an advance.
The centre, guard and tackle are a
combination that should thoroughly
know one another and work together in
their aims efforts to their help or to his
own play, as the instance warrants.
In offensive play guard essentially is
used as ablocker to prevent the oppo-
nents from smashing through and break
ing up foundations. That is how the
position gained its name. Not man
must come through at this point OF the
line. 1t is fatal to any intended play,
because it hits it at its start. Blocking
is merely study and purposes in order
to make their playing forcble. One
good guard, poor tackle and poor
centre are weak combination; it is only
by the combination of these three men
into one large, quick, active and strong
machine that an ironside rush line can
be made.
Guards should therefore study the
peculiarties of their cOmrade on each
side, noting where he is weak and where
strong. With that knowledge he can
direct his own position of the feet so as to
be firmly set against the point whence
the pressure is coming, and the thorough
knowledge of equilibrium. There is no
excuse for an intelligent guard not be-
coming an adept in this particular feat
ure. He is used a good deal, too in
making holes through the rush line for
his own side, and the same qualities ap-
/ ply to this branch of his duties. 1t is
knowing where to exert the pressure and
at what moment that will force his op-
ponent to one side quickly.
The duties of a guard are so manifold
that you can tell a man for days and
weeks the needed requirements and it is
impossible for him to see their import
ance. 1t is onlv by meeting good oppo-
nents game after game and in seeing how
serious slight mistake is that player
can become prominent as a guard. With
the right sort of head on his shoulders a
man can learn book full of useful i'd ,as
in each contest he plays. There is no
better method OF becoming a proficient
guard than in sitting down after tough
game and in figuring out why this hap
pened and why this did not, how such a
play failed and how such one gained
its ground. If you knew the best points
OF every guard in this country and were
capable OF moulding them together, what
magnificent player you would become!
That should be the goal of every player
at guard HARRY BEEcHER.

NONAGENARIAN HONORED.
Miss Anna Semple. One of the Firs1

SURPRISED.
Surprised.

The ninetieth anniversary of the birth
of Miss Anna Semple, one of the first
presidents of the W. C. T. T., was cele
brated on Friday by the Women's and
Young Women's Christian Temperance
Union of this city at No. 1000 West
Eighth street. Notwithstanding Miss
Semple's advanced age, she was present,
and, although exceedingly modest in her
demeanor, was delighted and SO ex-
pressed herself.
One of the features OF the occasion was
the reading of an original paper by Mrs.
Lea Pusey, who, referring to Miss Sem
pie as an esteemed and valued friend,
both having been associated in the work
for the organization for years. told OF
Miss Semples life and the value of her
services to those with whom she had
worked and the fields in which her
labors had been directed, referring espec-
tally to the w. C. T. L. Miss Semple's
work was reviewed and the results of her
efforts we're detailed in pleasing and
entertaining manner. Mrs. Pusey told
of her long and continued service in the
w. G. T. L. and described how faith.
fully she had served on the board OF
hangers of the Aged Women's Home
having been treasurer until about Is
months ago Mrs Pusey knew from
personal experience, also being mem
ber of the board.
Mrs. A. H. Berlin presented Miss
Semple with a handsome growing palm
on behalf of her white ribbon friends
and in making the presentation Mrs. Ber

Miss Semple could look upon il growing
with great deal of satisfaction as she
would realize that it needed neither al
cohol or strong drink to stimulate it, but
that it would thrive best on pure water
and sunshine.
Other floral presents were made by
Mrs. Benjamin Elliott, Miss Hannah
Pusey, Miss Annie T. HileS Miss Eliza
beth Hilles, one of the bouquets consist
ing of 80 beautiful La France roses.
Miss Semple is unusually well pre-
served. She is in fairly good health anC
is in excellent spirits. She Is native o.
this city and her name has been asso
ciated with humane work for more thar
half a century, and her worth is almost
beyond estimation. She lives at the
Clayton House For the past two years
on account of her age, she has been un
able to actively participate at the meet
ings OF the organizations with which she
is identified, but takes an interest in al

gifts at her rooms.
