A DUTCHMAN ON FOOT BALL.

Many of us have seen foot ball
on the field, but probably no one
has seen a true-to-life description of
the game in print. We present the
following pen picture from a Dutch
man in the genuine vernacular
"Dot we're der first time when
seen feetball. All der men which
played had rubber noses und ear
warmers. Dey didn't care when
somebody tripped them up. Dey
yust fell down und walked on der
head of der one which we're under.
Somebody kicked everybody und
everybody pushed somebody's face
on der floor, but der policemens
didn't stop der fight. One man
wanted to steal der ball to take it
home, mebbe, to him's children,
but der rubber-necks wouldn't let
him. Dey knocked him down and
kicked him's face. / said Shame
dich Shamedich Let him ND
For Why you want to kill der man ?
Did he do you something ? Dey
wouldn't listen. All der other ladies
What yere dere NIT me wanted der
Lions to kill him, but dey couldn't,
cause he we're too tough ind pushed
der crowd on der floor nit one
push. Den he ruined away und
man by me said, touch, und I
guess he wanted TO borrow money.
Somebody said il we're in the
game, and der man NIT der ball
kicked it over everbody's head.
II should be der rule dot der CAP.
tain gets FIRE hose ind squirts
water on der oppositions when der
fall down like dot in

ball Anyhow, when would
make up der game / would have
fish nets to stop der ball from

The Methodist general conference
adopted a new rule for the church
that may almost be called revolu-
tionary. Since its organization the
characteristic feature Of the church
has been the system of ilineracy, by
which pastors were moved from one
charge to another on the appoint
ment Of the presiding bishop of the
annual conferences. This has been
gradually modified by extending the
time limit to two, three, four and
FIVE years, but the Chicago confer
ence by decisive majority, struck
out the time limit on pastorates.
The power Of appointment remains
with the bishop, but he is not re-
stricted by any limitation. In
time it will change the Metho-
dist system Of selecting pastors to
that in force by other churches,
by which the congregation calls
the preacher il wants.

When Pickett, the Confederate
general, marshal his forces for that
grand charge against the Union
troops at Gettysburg, he turned
to an aid and said "Have the
band play Dixie"
And when he tore up the hill with
his men crowding behind him,
every brave, footsore graycoat was
humming the rong. In the dcs-
perate plunge which followed, while
10000 men fought like hends,
through all the smoke and CRIME
and horror Of sustained battle, the
Southern warrior had Dixie" in
his heart. only few came back
only handful Of the rs, 900, but
still they sang the immortal strains
Of Dixie until their throsts we're
so sore they could sing no longer.
