A small revolt has arisen among the
students OF the University Of Missouri
because the curators have ordained!
that no man may play on the foot bali
team unless he has a grade of 75 In his
class work. Tho students think that
this rule, and others OF "a similar M 4
ture that have in view the enttre clint
nation OF professionalism, are unneces-8
sarily harsh and arbitrary. But IL is
plain enough to the lovers OF amateur
sport that college athletics must be
Icleansed or all intercollegiate contests
must be abandoned. The students will
be called upon sooner or later to make
the choice. The University OF Kansas
has taken a firm and successful stand
against reckless student management
OF athletics, and the board Of control
made a splendid beginning last year in
Nebraska. The Missouri curators are.
in the right, and a liberal display OF
backbone just now will aid in the puri-i
.fication Of college athletics all over the

WANING OF THE TURKEY.
LagnbriOUs But Futile Prophecies
Concerning the Great Dtrl.
(From the Hartford Courant.l

Nrom the Hartford Courant.l
For the last dozen years we have been
told tina: The lobster was about to become
| Obsolete. Most of us have done something
toward making it obsolete. and yet it per-
sists. That is one reason for general
Thanksgiving this week.
Now We are told tina, the same prophe-
cics about the turkey--that 1t also will
hsoon disappear--sre beginning to be real
lied. The crop this year is said to be a
failure. Young turkeys are proverbially
hard 10 raise, very perishable. and need
ing constant care. That is probably why
they have been most successfully cuIti-
waited in Rhode Island-because that Is
such small State that they can be more
easily watched there But this year they
have insisted on dying and this is thought
by some students of the bird to indicate a
developing weakness and progressive
loss OF vitality.
No especial reason is given. So far as
appears. there has been the normal sup
ply Of srasshoppers, and these are said to
be the diet which gives the turkey the
most exercise and its choicest favor. 1t
isn't lack Of food, but a certain lack of
desire to live that seems to be the matter
with the bird We can only hope that,
since the football game of Saturday and
the election OF Mckinley. things may take
a turn for the better. Thanksgiving with
out a turkey would. as the conversation
alist remarked, be like Hamlet with
Shakespeare left out.
We are told that the New England tur-
key is sure to go. The bird fiourishes
and fsttens phenomenally on Fishers ISL
and. but the Fishers Island turkeys have
established such reputation for them
selves that they are worth more alive
than dead. and the most OF them are sent
out into The world to hatch out little ones
that curl up and die in their first rain
storm.
Our principal source of supply today is
the Middle West. Back of that stands
the institution OF cold storage. which
gathers from all quarters in times of
plenty and patiently awaits the famine
that its forethought creates. In due time
We shall have our meats of all kinds
dated and we may gradually develop the
same fastidious preferences that wine
bib1ers acquire so that the epicure will
never be satisfied with any turkeys except
those Of, say, 1897, nor with any beef ex-
cept that Of 1899, and so on. Then we can
give thai for cold storage itself, if we
fec! so inclined.
