Football Thanksgiving Day.

1t was a gloomy outlook for a foot
ball game on the morning of Thanks-
giving Day, and in fact all day long,
nevertheless the West Union eleven
had made the trip 10 DEBORAH, a. d
Were not to be daunted by the incle
ment weather. Though the atten-
dance was small the game was called
about $50 p. m. and was played in a
drizzling rain. The DEBORAH eleven
had all the fun they wanted to with
the West Union team. Moore's cent re-
was like stone wall, and the work of
both Landers and Haskell was excel
lent. The DEBORAH boys kept making
touch downs until they g,t tired of it,
and when they stopped to count up
what they had done they had 3S
points to their credit, with large
sized goose egg for West Union. The
home team is invincible, aud are able
TO go up against almost any team our
sister cities can bring together.

The young man who was trying to
make the st. Joe boat was about two
minutes late as he tore along River
street. He could see the steamer hands
casting off the ropes as he drew nearer.
and. humping amazed citizens out OF
his way. he rushed for the dock. The
gangplank had been hauled In. and the
nose of the steam bad swung six
feet out into the river when he finally
reached the waters edge. But that
did not deter him. He was going to
spend Sunday in Michigan or know
why.
With a giant swing he tossed his W.
lise aboard and then jumped for the
steamer. He caught rope and post
and held fast. Every officer on the
boat expected to see him drop into the
river. and bells tangled noisily as the
captain peered over the side. When he
saw the intrepid passenger was safe.
the captain was twice as mad as If be
had dropped into the water. Shaking
his fist at him angrily. he yelled:
Here. you. by Jimmy crickets, don't
you ever do that again"
The passenger had hauled himself
aboard by this time and. turning a
look Of scorn at the captain. said:
"What do you think I'm going to do
Jump back and try it overY-Chica.

The Blood Red Banner.

Royal and national colors vary with
nations and times: but since Cain slew
Abel blood red has been the sign of re-
volt In the earliest revolt known to
history. when the Persians rose against
their king 1000 years ago. they were
led by blood red banner, and during
the riots which took place In Paris the
men in the blood red caps were follow
ed by the mob.
A blood red flag waved over Bunker
Hill when the Americans fought us for
liberty. and it was the emblem of the
German peasants in their great upris-
ings in 1924. 1892 and 1925. Blood red
was the color of the trade union flags
during the middle ages. and ii formed
the background Of the emblem of the
Swiss confederacy In 1915.
Through the whole of French and
every other national history those
striking In their own ways for liberty
have worn the blood her cap and hail
ed the blood red banner as their leader.
1t is a curious fact that never has a
monarch chosen 1t as his color. 1t has
been left sacred to revolutionists.-Lon-

"SOWing the Wind"

1t is seldom play writer's brain has
evolved the idea of a play along lines
so clean as is "Sowing the Wind"
Never has character been more truly
depicted than in the telling of the story
therein presented. No play has ever
been written that teaches better les
son. 1t has been thruthfully said that
it is a sermon. 1t is beautiful, deerly
interesting, elevating and instructive.
Those who witnessed it's presen alton
will not fail to see it again, and they,
a. well as those who did not see it be
fore, have treat in store for then,
December 18th, when it is presented at
the Grand opera house. 1t cannot b.

Cities are more favorable to women.

than in the country. There are more
