Observation-Disclosures
| Nov. 20.-Coach Huffman's aggIe-
cation Of pig-skin chasers from The
high school parted their chrysanthe-
mum locks squarely ia the middle,
donDed the paraphernalia OF M dern
warfare and sauntered to Campus de
B ID Herod last Saturday afternoon,
then and there to do battle with
eleven husky sons OF the gridiron
from Girard. They were again, how
ever, forced TO Go Way Back aud Sit
Down, the score standing II to 0 at
the time the Quietus was sounded by
the referee. Arrangements had been
made to give dance in honor, OF the
Girard boys, but as a consequence OF
the people of Erie being more modest
and Of a more religious turn or MIND
than the sports who hailed from the
City of SHELTERS and Bug-juice Bar
racks, not soul came but the fiddler.
This correspondent feels obligated
to Sovereign Guss and his subordi-
mates of the city of Shaw to the extent
of an apology for accusing them, IN
The last issue of this paper, of harbor-
ing one Franklin L. Pease, who re-
Gently departed from this city 10 fit
of anger. We have since learned that
Franklin has either gone to lola to
purchase the Portland Cement Works
or to Baldwin to close deal for Baker
University, and incidentally to look
after the welfare Of his son Fred, who
is in poor health and who Is attending
school at the above named institution.
Franklin has had considerable trouble
with Fred, relative to looking after
his health, the latter having once con-
tracted scarlet fever while playing
with the Aston children in New York
City, as did he also the Giphtheria
while spending his vacation at his
fathers summer home at Oyster Bay
and playing with the young ROose-
velts. We are sorry, however, to have
wrongfully accused The people of Shaw
and cheerfully make the retraction.
A generous-he hearted young damsel,
residing east of this city, hitched the
family broncho to the buggy last Sun
day evening, came to town, and was
proceeding to enjoy buggy ride with
her beau, His Satanic Majesty, of
Erie Sentinel fame. What might 9TH
erwise have proven an enjoyable jaunt
was, however, rather Unexpectedly
quashed by the young lady's paternal
ancestor, who happened on Main street
during the course of the journey. He
tagged the broncho, and in torres more
forcible than elegant invited His Maj
esty to come of the perch. And now
the town gossips are busy pumping
their imaginations. We are Of the
opinion that paw made an unsophisti-
Gated jay of "his SELF" The young
lady has always been well thought Of,
and His Majesty has, aside from show
ing type lice to innocent persons, never
been guilty Of any very heinous CRIME.
Aside from the North Erie CORES
pondent standing around noticing"
who called on Mrs. Bryant; the rapid
rate at which brick and stone sidewalk
is being constructed all over town; the
flattering prospects for Thanksgiv-
ing Day football game; and an occa-
sional dog fight, excitement in the
Hub this week is enjoying a gentle
rest. A few cohorts OF the devil have
put forth several efforts to have a
shin-dig, but their most worthy and
efficient manager, DOC" Light, hav-
ing been in rural districts looking at =
ter the deformities and otherwise up-
healthy condition of domestic quadru'
peds, their efforts seem to have been
in vain. T. T. Gilbert was in town
one day, but he has recently learned
to expectorate any quantity of Battle
Axe without losing his racket store
teeth, consequently the meeting was
pretty muchly failure.
The next regular term OF district
court will convene here on the Bird
prox. The tIial docket will include
