IT WOULD seem to be pretty good plan to let
the other fellow play the favorie in athletic
tests and to go against your better Judgment perhaps,
and take the little end of the bet' yourself. The
who followed that plan this fall would now have
something to congratulate himself over. The odds
against Harvard and she easily from Yale;
Minnesota was booked to walk over Wisconsin, yet
the latter ate her up; the knowing ones talked
good deal about what Iowa going to do, but she
hasn't done it yet; everybody said Rubin certain
to make things interesting for Jeffres and they
still wondering how it happened; McGovern was
scheduled to walk on Corbetts neck at odds of four
to one, and he is just coming to-and SO all down
the line. This has been one of the years when the
unexpected happened.

HAVE FAITH In HEAVEN.

Have faith in heaven! the way il dark,
And clouds and temptests hover nigh;
But far beyond, where lies thy mark,
Forever smiles cloudless sky.
Duty points out the way for thee;
No flowery path is thine to tread;
But words of heavens own melody
Shall melt into thy soul instead.
Enough for thee life's few bright hours,
When Hope-kind angel-cheered thy soul,
And whispered of the fadeless flowers
That lined thy pathway to the goal.
The spell is DER, the vision fed;
Waste not an hour in vain regrets
In heaven the light of hope is shed,
There shines the star that never sets.
Nerve up thy soul to do the right!
Bear every cross that bars thy way;
Thy path leads up where deaths dark night
Is lost in heavens unclouded day.
PERCY.

bought five pounds of it. He also bought cigar

that he was having too much fun for one day came

THERE appears in this issue of The MIRROR an
article the making of criminals. The MIRROR
believes this will be read with interest by it's sub
scribers not only because of the ideas advanced but
because they have been evolved by man who has
spent the greater part of his life among those whom
Mr.. Fynt calls the 'powers that prey and who has
much of the seamy side of things. No one can
doubt the truth of the assertion that were all the
known criminals removed today, new race of
criminals would be in existence ten years hence
Of society is not altogether to blame for this
it is only the weaklings who affected by
their environments to lose all knowledge of right
and wrong-but, as "Leo" points out society is to
blame for certain percentage of the crime that
exists.

There are several incorporated COM
panies having large land-holdings. One
company we have in mind owns and
controls more than four hundred quar-
ter sections. It has ample capital. 1t
can render no greater service to it's
share holders, and in no way 80 we'll
discharge it's obligations to the commun-
ity as by planting trees upon each
tract it controls.
The railway companies have in a
small way encouraged tree planting up
on station grounds. This service can
be vastly and inexpensively increased.
We hope to see general tree planting
movement inaugurated with the com.
ing spring.
Let every land owner, not already
provided, put out few trees.
Let him give them rational attention.
If he does not overdo the matter, not
much labor will be involved.
Let him start with. say one hundred,
thrifty trees five feet high.
The cost of the stock will not exceed
one dollar.
For quick results, one-half Of the
planting should be cottonwoods.
We believe it was President Heston
who said: ITO the man who has no tree
the cottonwood is delightful tree"
A portion should be of the ash and
elm. They will not start SO quick, but
once rooted they defy the drouth, and
in the long run. are much more salts

Do not crowd the trees. Twenty feet
apart is close enough; about one hun.
dred trees to the acre.
Do not plow them. At least do not
throw up burrows about them.
Cultivate the land fiat, with harrow
or cultivator. and hand-hoe them go
that the quick dashes of rain, which in
some seasons comprise the entire rain
fall, will run down to the tree roots
not away from them.
Don't fear the winters.

A Two-Headed Shark.

Fred Miller of Tacoma, Wash. expert
angler has made the most sensational
capture yet recorded in the history OF
fishes. His prize is a two-headed, two
tailed man-eating shark, known as I'll
ger shark Yhis man-shark measures
eight feet from tip of tail to the end of
either of its heads.
Mr. Miller recently took a row to his
| favorite angling resort, on Puget Sound,
to try his luck at deep-water fishing. In
| this particular LOCALITY tWo-pound
sinker was necessary on the line, as the
tide runs about SIX miles an hour; the
line, heavy cotton one, being cast in
about 500 feet of water with live herring
eight or ten inches long for bait.
Such spots as Miller selected are the
fayorite haunts of black bass. Accord
J ing to his story, he was making good
progress, when without any warning
there was frightful commotion in and
about where he had cast his line. The
water was thrashed into foam; the boat
began to rock violently.
The demonstration in the water fright
ened the fisherman, who understood
| perfectly that something of more than
ordinary size was aboard his hook. He
was soon aware of the cause of all
| the disturbance by the double-headed
monster jumping clear out of the water
| near Ills DOdI III lis Sil'tl ~ oSSoPS
! from the line.
| One glance sufficed for Miller. The
double set of jaws was enough and a
start was made for shore with all the
strength he could command. So great
was his desire to land his prize that
the distance to the beach seemed in
terminable.
A shark of the ordinary size and
shape is big enough to make a battle
royal when interfered with, but Miller
had a two-headed, two-tailed one to con-
| tend with, and the fact that he came
out successful after exciting struggle
makes the feat the more remarkable.
1t has not yet been clearly establish
ed whether the shark or Miller was the
more frightened. Miller went In for a
record breaking pull to land, while the
shark made frantic efforts to swallow
the herring and escape.
When the boat at last reached the
beach Miller felt safe. He bent all his
energies to the landing of his strange
fish. He was determined it should not
escape him. Then began terrific strug-
gle-the man al one end of the line ano
the shark at the other, the most move
"tug-of-war' on record.
The strong line became taut, and every
second the fisher feared it would part

line was attached and the capture wa!
soon effected.
After tremendous thrashing about OF
the beach the shark wore itself out
which gave Miller a chance to measure
it. Miller discovered then that he hac

change they receive the children from
the country home, who are thus provided
with the liberal education town life af-
fords. Reciprocal selfish interest In
