NEITHER TEAM SCORED
Butte Reliance and Anaconda
Juniors Break Even.
THEY PUT UP A GOOD GAME
The Local Boys Were the Stronger and
Should Have Won-Game Ended
in General Fight-Butte
Boys Played Rough Ball.

The game of football yesterday after
NOON was very good one and was warm
ly contested, but unfortunately it ended
In sort of general scrap. An indication
OF the way the game would end was given
when the score, being even, neither side
having scored and only one minute of
play remaining. Butte player began
using tactics that are not supposed to be
used in football games
Showers of Anaconda resisted the as
sault and it did not take the young Ana
conda left tackle long to make him feel
feel sorry that he ever started the fight
Ing. 1t was then that the other members
of the two teams Joined in the general
scramble. and that was the end of the
greatest Junior football game ever wit
messed in Anaconda
The two teams are about as evenly
matched as it would be possible to find,
the only thing in favor of the Butte Re-
lance team being its individual weight.
Its members being much heavier than the
Anaconda boys. All of the Butte PLAYERS
played strong game and their rushes
showed active practice. On the other
hand. the members of the Anaconda High
school team were always on the lookout
and Captain George La Pointe is to be
congratulated on the Improvement which
they showed in their playing yesterday af-
ternoon.
The game yesterday brought out two
players who will surely make their mark
before long if they keep up their good
playing. These men are Keg and Birch.
Keig blocked many of the Butte rushes
and he was a veritable stone wall at the
quarter back. Birch particularly distin-
tinguished himself in his 2O-yard rush dur
ing the latter part of the first half.
The officials of the game were: Referee,
Mr.. Storey: linesmen, Barney Fitzpatrick
for Anaconda and Ben Morgan for Butte.
1t was after o'clock when the two teams
lined I'D as follows:

I'm sorry for the lonely chap
Who hasn't any boys;
Whose folks may stop and take a nap
Without fear of noise:
Especially when with tireless vim
The circus band plays free,
And Willie says I'm taking him
Wl1ee- he is taking me.
1 sympathize with him, do,
With none to tell him all
About the jumping kangaroo
And the giraffe, so tall.
TO help him spell the words so long
Which culiously engage
His eyes, as, Flooding through the throne
He looks from cage to cage.
No curly head bends DER the print
Spread out upon his knee
To gather some pictorial hint
OF glories yet to be-
No treble notes of laughter check
His sheer at clownish skill:
No little arms glide round his neck
When all is dark and still
I'm sorry for him. It's the truth,
For he has lost them all,
Those youthful joys which only youth
Has power to recall.
| laugh at Times reminders grim,
And tI-udge the sights to see,
And Willie says I'm taking him
When he is taking me.

The Trekking Wagon.
From the Gentleman's Magazine

FROM the Gentleman S Magazine
The South African wagon is long, heavy
cart mounted on four high wheels, as a
rule, with d sort of canvas tent over the
back half. leaving the front clear to carry
the miscellaneous furniture of its owner,
drawn by sixteen, eighteen or twenty oxen.
curiously ferce-iooking with their immense
spread of horn, sometimes as much as
eight feet from tip to tip and rarely less
than six, but in reality as patient and
hard-Working beasts as one could wish to
find. Their mode of progression is certainly
slow, but there is a strangeness and a fas-
cination about 1t which may draw men to
it almost as the Alps draw their deyotees
In front there marches the 'voor-looDer
generally small boy. leading the two fore
most oxen by rein or rope passed through
their nostrils. The driver walks alongside
with the long and terrible whip he uses
so unsparingly, or else sits on the front
OF the wagon and gets off occasionally to
lash up the whole team with unfailing i'm
partaiity. The travelling is all done at
night, starting a little before sunset and
marching till perhaps II or II o'clock; then
there is halt till little before the first
signs of dawn, when they go on again till
the sun begins to get hot overhead and
then they lie by for the day.

THE CROWN OF THoRNS.
Investigations by a French Scientist
Throw Much Light on IL.
From the New Yoik Herald.

! From the New GoR Herald.
Some interesting facts in regard TO the
crown of thorns wnich Christ wore during
His crucifxion have Just been brought 10
| light by NJ du Nelly, a distinguished French
scientist This subject has occupied his at
| tentioE for a considerable time, and at he
! last meeting of the Academy of Inscrip-
tions at Paris HI related the facts which
| he had ascertained IN regard to il. His
statements We're regarded by all present a
entirely reliable, and mainly because he is
| known to be one of the greatest living au-
| thorities On all matters connected with the
crucifiXion.
At the beginning Of the present century
| the general opinion among churchmen was
| that out of all the thorns which had once
formed part of the crown there We're only
twenty-seven then in existence. NJ. du
Nelly, however. now says that he can clear
fy trace the history Of 80 thorns. and that
the most likely places in which to find them
row would be at the cities of Jerusalem,
Paris and COnstantinopie.
In 1879 large pieces of the crown of thorns
were sent to France, and in 1247 they be-
came the property of st. Louis, who built
costly shrine, in which they were securely
guarded. At that time the number Of
thorns in the shrine was seventy-two hut
this number must have been Increased
within few Years, for We are assured that
Louis and his Immediate Successors pre-
sented sixty thorns TO various princes,
churches and cloisters throughout Europe
and yet that, after this distribution had
been made, twenty-three thorns remained
as the property of the French king.
With one of these latter by the way a
tragic incident is connected. When Mary
Queen of Scots left France she took ii
with her rs one Of her choicest treasures
and throughout her eventful career she
never failed to wear it. and after she was
executed her attendants found IL close to
her heart. In the Church of Notre Dame
at Paris there is no relic more cherished
than what is known as the crown of Christ
and NJ. dU Nelly supposes that in addition
TO this crown, which has been in Paris for
many centuries st. Louis in some way ac-
qulred large bundle OF thorns some of
which he presented to distinguished con-
temporaries. while the others he beaueath-
ed TO his successors. NJ. du Nelly thinks
that there is much more 10 be learned on
this subJe I, AMI he proposes 20 continue
his Investigations until he arrives at the
exact truth.
