FLTRTS WITH DANGER,

He firts with danger, and many times
winds up as a cripple at an age when
he ought to be at his best. But the
necessity of being a hero is strong upon
him, and that is about why he does it.
When the game is over, he is no better
off physically than he was before it;
maybe worse.
Watch the face of a football player
emerging from a scrimmage. Do it's
lines show it to be more healthy and less
brutal than hat of the boxer?
1t is a gam where a man cannot
show his individual ability. He is just
a piece of machinery and works as such
trying to injure some other piece of
machinery which is considered good on
the other side.
A small man will get out of the fracas

THE FOOTBALL vs.. THE FIGHTING FACE.

1t is almost a sin to speak of football
and boxing in the same breath. In the
former there is nothing, while in the

But first I will show that there are
no physical advantages in football play
ing.
1t is a game that is a sort of con-
tagious ailmen among collegians. The
first thing a young fellow thinks Of
when he goes to college is to wear long
hair and get on the football team. He
does a lot of work at first, rounding
himself into shape that will enable him
to last but a half hour or SO. That is,

body. It's a game practised, fortu-
nately, only in his country and Eng
land.
But as to boxing!
Well, no nobler sport ever existed. It
was practiced thousands and thousands
of years g Men have grown to be
heroes through it. It was not always
known as boxing, but it was the same
thing. 1t is a sport in which a mans
individual ability is shown. 1t is
manly. To be a good boxer is to attain
glory Its good effects are lasting, too.
Those of football are not. To be beaten
at boxing is no disgrace.
In practice, boxing has a tendency

:. ROD AND GUN

One of the after results of the Span
ish war, which promises to have many
fatal effects, is the distribution of can
tured Mauser rifles throughout the coun-
try. Many of these were sold by the United
States government to the large con-
tractors who attend to auction sales, who
bought them in at very low figure. They
were refurbished and sold to jobbers and
sporting goods dealers, and are now be-
ing advertised at prices as low as $40
each. When it is considered that these
rifles use about the most powerful car
fridge which has yet been devised by
military science, and they are made for
the purpose of man killing, and hate5a

proposition that the Buchanan county

derful capacity. During the month of
February Mr.. Whitney MIXED twelve
COWS, four of them "strippers.' The
cream was separated on the farm with

showed the writer the stub of his check
book. which called for 1857 for the
product of his twelve COWS for twenty
eight days. The average net price he
received for the butter made from his
cream was q cents. A net return of

excellent showing and stamps bossy as
