Making u Football.

4 football requires a vast amount CT
work before it is ready for kicking over
the gridiron.
The balls are covered with cowhide
which must have remained in the tan
pits year or more. The hides are from
2 to feet long, 6 to feet wide and
before splitting weigh from % to 80
pounds. The skin has to be split into
two layers. The part to be used is
soaked for a few days in cleansing
preparation. 1t is "sleeked" out to
make it firm. 1t is fed and cut into
shape. The strips are stitched, always
by hand. The bladder is or should be of
the finest Para rubber. and undergoes
perhaps more processes than the COW
hide. 1t is as necessary to the football as
pneumatic tires are to the cycle; in fact,
even mere So since no effective substi-
tute for an air bladder has yet been dis
covered The bladder is of immense
strength, and is fitted with nozzle
through which the air is injected.
These bladders are an expensive item
ana represent considerable portion of
the cost of manufacture. The bladder
is inserted through the unlaced slit,
and the next process is to blow it up.
The rubber nozzle fits over a metal
tube on the machine. A few turns of
the hand wheel and the ball is inflated.
1t is now laced up and handed over to
the shaper. who pats down any I'M
evenness in the seams

bastard Attempt to Take the Life of a
Girl ut Hurley.

Hurley. Wis. April 21.-After shoot
ing young girl named Hilda Palowka
and driving the rest OF the family out.
Henry Raskin was captured by Police
man Sealy yesterday. 1t appears that
Raskin came into the house and de-
rlanded Ambulance TO Miss Palowka' s
room. which was denied him. He then
forced the door of her room, where she
was in bed with a young sister. and
shot at her, the bullet lodging in her
arm.
He then aimed the revolver at the
youngest girl. when the girls mother
ran into the room and begged so hard
for him to desist that he did not shoot
The family were all driven from the
house. BY this time a man named An
derson ran into the house to assist and
was promptly met with the revolver and
he retreated. In the meantime officer
Sealy came along and succeeded in dis
arming Raskin before he could use the
revolver. Raskin is wanted for hiring
a horse and buggy last week from Mead
& Quinn Hverymen. and selling it, Ras-
kin and the Palowkas are Hebrews.

Furnishing AN EDITOR.
The Curious Method Adopted In 6
south American Country.

The Curious Method Adopted In q
South American Country.
Curious methods of furnishing indis-
| Greet editors are in vogue in some coun-
tries In South American Sketches"
Mr.. Crawford describes the interesting
experience of an editor who had been
unfortunate enough to give offense to
the ruling powers by the freedom of his
criticisms.
The editor was arrested and confined
in narrow passage between the cages
of two jaguars, notorious for their bad
tempers and their intense dislike for hui
man society.
The intervening space was so regulat-
ed that neither of the ferocious animals
could get its paws quite to the middle
line between the cages, so that spare.
active person. if very careful to follow
the classical advice about the advan-
tages of steering a middle course. might
manage to pass without special injury.
though the achievement would be both
exciting and dangerous.
Our editorial friend happened to be
stout, and therefore was the more easily
reached by the occupants of the cages.
AS if to add insult to injury he was
given n chair on which to sit and at
the same time was furnished with a
copy of his own paper. the issue which
had brought him into trouble. in order
that he might mediate upon its con-
tents
He tried TO sit motionless and bolt
upright, feeling those sleepy, cruel eyes
fixed upon him. AT the slightest move
ment or the rustic of the paper uneasy
mutterings arose from the cages. and
paw would stretch stealthily toward
him. Leaning quickly to the other side.
he was sure to be met by the ugly claws
of the second jaguar. 1t was a case of
Scylla and Charybdis-
Every few minutes the jaguars be-
came wildly excited and clawed fiercely
at the shrinking editor, who. do his
best, could not escape those rending
toe nails His clothing was torn to
shreds, but except for few scratches
he was not really injured.

COULDN'T BE SPEAKER AND REED.
So 1t Seems He Concluded To BE Reed
Two Satisfied Elements.

Two satisfied Elements
"But if he had gone on he would
have had to give his consent and sup
port to legislation which he did not en-
tirely approve. Mr.. Reed is too good a
Republican to antagonize as speaker
the course of the party. He is too out
spoken To refrain from expression of his
sentiments. He could hardly have been
speaker and have been himself. There
would have been embarrassment. Soon
after the adjournment of congress The
Globe-Democrat called attention to the
difficulties of the situation growing out
of Mr.. Reeds attitude on pressing is
sues. The editorial warning was copied
in Washington and throughout the east
1t was the subject Of much comment
and discussion among public men.
The response was prompt and strong
that the speaker of the new house must
be in thorough and hearty accord with
his party. MIR. Reed, IL is known. felt
these difficulties as strongly as any one.
The meeting on Jekyl island followed.
Prompt denials were made generally
that any significance was to be at
:ached to the presence of so many
eminent Republicans. including Mr..
Reed. on the island. But il is a fact
that Immediately after the return of
the president and his party and of Mr..
the Iatter's retirement became subject
of much talk.
Two elements in the Republican par
~ are expressing satisfaction over Mr..
Reeds announced retirement. The first
Is the combination Of sincere weil-wish-
ers for Republican success in the future.
They discern that in Reeds absence
from the house harmony and united ac-
ton are assured. The second is the
small number of disaffected calculating
upon a revulsion OF the public senti-
ment that is flowing steadily and pow
erfully for Mckinley s denomination and
election. 1t is argued by the latter that
Mr.. Reed. instead Of disappearing from
public life by his connection with a pri-
vate interest may be forced into great
er prominence.
1T is pointed out by them that he will
become a resident of New York and he
able to command that powerfunl dele
CATION in a national convention. With
his new backing. Reed can, if still
ambitious. command tremendous finan-
ciaI support on his gold record

\ And Thereby Increase His Income %
| Many Times His Salary as Speaker
One Reason for His Change said To BE
That He Cannot Line Up with the White
| House on Certain PolicIes-Candidates
for Speaker.
Chicago. April 21.-The currently re-
| ported intention of Thomas Bracket
| Reed. ex-speaker of the national house.
| to retire from congress has brought for
| ward = number OF western men for the
speakership. In this state there is
Representative Hopkins. who seems to
have the lead here. Iowa has two can
didates-W p. Hepburn and General
Henderson. 1t is announced at New
York that Reed will become a member
OF the legal firm of Simpson. Thatcher
& Barnum. a New York telegram says:
THE speaker is said to have been as
sured Of an income of at least $4,000 a
year, an emolument equal to that Of
the president of the United States. from
insurance companies alone He will
continue to act as referee for the sever
al insurance corporations for which he
has been recently acting. and friends
say that his income may yet amount to
500. COO annually. The speaker has not
yet determined whether he will lease a
house in this city at first or not
Had Long Considered the Step.
a telegram from St. Louis quotes the
Washington correspondent of The Globe
Democrat as follows: Until last
Wednesday those who considered them
selves closest to Mr.. Reed did not be-
lieve he would accept a business prop
osition and retire from public life. They
knew that Mr.. Reed had considered
and declined such propositions before.
They had heard him again and again
talk of retirement. In fact. there has
hardly been a month the past three
years that Mr.. Reed did not in confiden-
tial conversation discuss the advisable
ity of this step. Two years ago and
four years ago members of his family
added their influence And yet Mr.. Reed
kept on coming to congress in spite of
tempting offers. in spite of his own ap-
parent inclination.
Ont of Line with the White House.
so when this latest guarantee of a
sum ten times the congressional salary
was put before him at the expiration of
the last session his friends thought the
result would be as il had been. The
unexpected has happened. Now that
Mr.. Reed has decided to retire. it is
not difficult to account for his action.
To all of the conditions which favored
withdrawal before there is added now a
new element. Mr.. Reed is not strictly
in harmony with the administration
and the party He does not favor GER
tain policies upon which the Republic
ans will go before the country next
year. The speakership was conceded to
him. There would have been no oppo-
sition.
