YALE WON.

WEST POINT, n. Y, November A.
The Yale football team defeated West
Point to-day "a to O. By hard line
bucking through the center and tackles,
principally by Mcbride, Yale carried
the ball three times across the goal
line and got fourth touchdown on
decision of the umpire, which was
questioned by some of those on the side
lines. who believed that instead of a
touchdown by Yale the ball should
have gone to West Point on their 30
yard line.
West Point was on the defensive
most of the time. but made gains
through Yale's left tackle several times.

lied by Princetonss heavy line hitting

the ball at Princeton's thirty-yard line.
Richardson tried for a goal from the
field but failed Princeton got the ball
ON downs and rushed it down the field,

The first half ended with the ball on
Browns 35-yard line. A few moments
after the second half began Levick

touchdown. Richardson soon after

line and again failed. After repeated
gains through Browns line, Hillebrand

Browns 35-yard line when time was
called AL! the goals were kicked.

Wordswortb Wa. Disannointed


 When Julia Ward Howe visited Eng land as bride she wished much to see the poet Wordsworth, and her husband indulged her in this longing. Bearing a letter of introduction from NJ. Tick nor, they went into the Lake country and arrived at an adjacent inn. Dr. Howe called at the Wordsworth resi- dence and left this letter and his card. 'In return" says Mrs. Howe in the At Iantic, ga note was soon sent, inviting us to take tea that evening with MT. and Mrs. Wordsworth. Our visit was a disappointing one. The widowed daugh- ter of our host had lost heavily by the failure of certain American securities. These losses formed the sole topic of conversation, not only between Words worth and pr. Howe, but also between the ladies of the family, my sister and myself. The tea to which we had been bidden was simply cup of tea, served without table We bore the harassing conversation as long as we could. The only remark of Wordsworth's which I brought away was this: The misfor- tune to Ireland is that it was only a partially conquered country When we took our leave the poet expressed his willingness to serve us during our stay in his neighborhood. We left it, how ever, on the following morning, without seeing him or his again"

Merit Wins.

The invention of Alabastine marked a new era in wall cOatings, and from the standpoint of the building owner was q most important discovery. It has prac- tically driven all kalsOmines from the mar ket; and from small beginning has branched out into every country of the civilized world. The name "kaisomine" has become so offensive to property owners that manufacturers of cheap kalsomlne preparations are now calling them by some other name, and atte npting to sell on the Alabastine COmpany's reputation.
 Through extensive advertising and per sonal use, the merits of Alabastine are so thoroughly known that the people insist on gettin{ these goods and will take no chance of spelling their walls fora possible saving of at the most but a few cents. Thus it is again demonstrated that merit wins and that manufacturers of first-class articles will be supported by the people.

Curious Indian Custom.

A curious custom prevails among the lowest classes of southern India for ob- taining rain in times of drought. A gigantic figure of woman is stretched to its full length on its back on an open, very low four wheeled carriage, and the carriage is dragged round the streets, the Indian peasantry accompanying it With the deafening noise of their tom toms, drums and bugles. The custom is explained by the popular notion that the figure on the cart represents the wife of Varuna, the god of rain, and that when he sees his favorite wife dragged ruthlessly along the streets he sends down torrents of rain to wreak his vengeance.

WHAT SWEARING COST.
Curses and Oaths Used to Be a Costl
 Luxury.

Curses and Oaths Used to Be a Costly
 Luxury.
 Tn 1923 1t was enacted that any wto cursed or swOre should be fined F pence, or, on nOn-payment, be set in the stocks for twelve hours; or, if ln- der twelve years of age, should be whipped. In 1894 another act was passed fixing gradations of punish. ment, and directing that young offend CTS up to sixteen should be whipped, and this law was, up to 1923, read pub l licly in parish churches, after morning prayer, four times a year In 1745 there was @ new statute by which a | kind of swear-scale was established, whereupOn day labOrer, a common soldier or sailor or seaman might utter one oath for a shilling; person under the degree of gentleman for two shil- lingS; person of or above that degree for five shillings, and the penalties were doubled after one conviction, and thereafter trebled. Nor were those en- actments altogether idle. Thus in 1861 one John Mason Scott, q mealman of Winslow, Bucks, did profanely curse one prOfane curse" in given words twenty several times repeated" and 1t cost him two and a half guineas; two SOvereignS for the curses, at forin apiece, and twelve and siXpence for the prosecutor, James King. Moreover. the conviction was held good by Jus tices Wightman and Blackburn.
 Sir John Strange reports a case whence it appears that William Collier came before the justices and com. plained that James Sparling, leather dresser, of the parish of St. James, Clerkenwell-a district not altogether free from the Offense to-day-had pro- fanely sworn fifty-fOur Oaths, and pro fanely cursed one hundred and sixty curses, contra fOrmam statuti, and the leather dresser was adjudged guilty and to pay twenty-one pounds eight shillings. We regret, however, to add that this decision was reversed, though only on the technical ground that the baths and curses ought to have been set out, the Lord Chief Justice, Sir John Pratt, Sir Littleton Powys, Sir Robert Eyre and Sir John Fortescue Aland be ing of opinion that it was not for a wit ness to determine what was an oath ito swear the law" as 1t was quaintly put-since ''it is matter of great dis pute amongst the learned what are oaths and what curses. s."-Gentleman's Magazine.

A Man of Mature Years Sees Q
 Strangely Familiar Face Tn Mirror.
 "Here. said a man of mature years, twas an experience that fancy others have had You know we don't realize the change in our own appearance as the years go by. We feel young, all right, and imagine that we look so, and never realize that we don't. But com ing down from an upper story of tall building in an elevator the other day snd thinking of something else hap pened to see face in mirror in the side of the car.
 ''It had a curious interest for me somehow. It was the face of man of middle age, tolerably well preserved, but with hair pretty gray and with marks at the outer corners of his eyes showing where the crow had stepped on lightly, to be sure, but the marks of crows feet nevertheless, the face of a man of years But. old and gray, the most curious and fascinating thing about it was its striking resem- blance to my own. This was almost
 
 startling, but moment later, when as I looked at it saw a slight turn of my own head reproduced with a correspond ing movement by the head in the mir TOT, realized that what saw was in deed reflection of my own face, and that for moment l had seen myself as 1 was.
 But when I got home l looked in the glass there And did l see any mid de aged folks now2 Not by a jugful l saw the man I wanted to see. A little gray perhaps2 Yes, little gray.

HE FACED GREAT DANGER.
But, Not Knowing It, He Escaped Be-
 ing Considered Brave.


 ''I noticed couple of "reminiscences as to my old branch of service D said sn ex-naval official to the writer. "which reminded me of an incident in my own career. 1 was an assistant en- gineer on a cruiser bound from Norfolk to South American ports, and our ship was telling off 14 or 15 knots an hour one day, when a crank pin came out, pnd the next instant the crank was tArashing around in most recklessly unsystematic fashion. Everybody in the engine room-and there were some men of considerable rank there just then, as it happened-made dash for the deck. Meanwhile 1 quietly took four or five steps and shut off the steam Of course the engines stopped, and then followed the delay caused by making the neces- sary repairs
 ''It didn occur to me that I had per formed any act of an especial character until the chief engineer informed me that I was confounded fool Don't you know your place under such cir cumstances, sirf' he asked, and when I answered that 1 thought had taken my proper position he continued: "No sir; your duty was to make your way as soon as possible to the deck. With that piece of steel whirling and crash ing about it was one chance in a thou sand that single soul would escape an instantaneous cooking, because if that thing had carried away the steam con- nections your life would have ended right then.
 "'Well. I took the chance, I an swered.
 "'Yes. sir, you did, but you didn't know it, therefore it is not at all to your credit, was the chiefs answer, and it was so absolutely true that 1 couldn't for the life of me make any re- ply. "-Detroit Free Press.
