NO FOOTBALL TODAY.
Honesdale Shows the White Feather
and Cancels the Game.

and Cancels the Game.
The high school football eleven will
not play in llOnesdale today. There is
no team there foolish enough To be-
lievc that they can defeat any team
from this city. Ilonesdalc realizing
this fact called the game off in u regis
tered letter received by Manager
Burke last evening. giving as their en-
cuse that the snow on the field was
too wet for playing. Who ever heard
of Il football game being postponed on
account of weather. Two years ago
two feet of snow and q raging blizzard
did not deter the high school eleven
from this city from playing; II game
in the Maple City. The latter village $
representative eleven Of that year was
stronger than our local eleven and of
course they were then willing to play.
BY this statement we do not mean that
Honesdalc ever had /; good football
eleven cupabl. of playing in the same
class as any of the Carbondale elevtns
but that the eleven they defeated that
year was woefully weak, in fact. only
picked up the day before the game.
This year the situation is changed. We
have several teams here now all pro-
To force Honesdale to go way back
and sit down If the truth was given
by the uoncsdae manager he never
thought seriously of playing the high
school eleven after he defeat Sus-
tanned at their hands earlier in the sea
son. They made the challenge probably
of the belief that the local eleven
would not play III iIonesdale again af-
ter the brutal treatment accorded them
ut the last game when the players We're
literally stoned from the field after the
game. Tie local eleven had DraCtced
diligently for todayS contest and are
greatly disappointed in Honesdale's
cancciinG of the game at the last min
ute. The Maple city boys had four
days to clean the field had they been
afraid of the snow and anxious for IL
game. Their action is very unSports-
manllie. but come to think of it there
are very few true sportsmen in Homes
dale. Their latest action blOtS them
from Carbondal"'s football may.

Partly from historical and partly per-
haps from racial causes the English
are essentially unmilitary. They resent
the control of soldiers. They distrust
military ideals. No government that
ever existed in this country was more
unpopular than that Of Oliver Cromwell
and his major generals. Its unpopu-
larity left an indelible mark on English
Institutions. For man. years 1t made
II impossible to have standing army.
Even when the course of events made
II necessary to concede that much to
the military necessities of the time IL
still remained maxim for centuries
with all politicians that as little power
as possible must be granted to the SOL
diers; that their business was to fight
our wars. and, this being done, that
there was little or no place for them in
the body polite.
We do not think 1t necessary to de-
fend this attitude Of mind Like most
popular feelings, 1t is largely unjust,
but also. like many popular feelings. II
is based to some extent on true con-
ception. Politically, using the word in
its largest sense the domination of the
military idea in a state Is calamitous.
Ii tends, we believe. to destroy individ-
uallty and is q serious menace to indi-
yidual liberty. - English Monthly Re-

Cloud Mountains.

The highest OF all the clouds are
those delicate, white, fibrous, detached
masses of frozen vapor; always seem
high against the blue sky. The top
most point of the highest of these may
be ten miles above the earth. They are
called cirrhus clouds. Altogether there
are ten principal types of clouds. The
lowest, known as the stratus. are really
horizontal sheets of lifted fog seen on
damp days or in very damp localities.
These clouds are only few hundred
feet above the earth.
Some of the vast bodies of vapor are
higher than the tallest of the Alps.
They are undoubtedly snow capped
veritable mountains of ice and snow.
1t has been discovered that the tenn
perature on one such summit was 70
degrees below zero.
Were 1t possible for us to ascend in a
balloon and penetrate one of these
snow capped peaks from base to sum-

The Third Handle.

The best account of the origin of the
loving cup comes from the late Lord
Lyons, British ambassador at Paris.
Henry " of France while hunting be-
came separated from his companions
and, feeling thirsty. called at wayside
inn for a cup of wine. The serving
maid on handing It to him as he sat on
horseback neglected to present the han
ole. Some wine was spilled, and his
majesty's white gauntlets were soiled.
While riding home he bethought him
that q two handled cup would prevent
recurrence of this, so his majesty
had a two handled cup made at the
royal potteries and sent 1t to the inn.
On his next visit he called again for
wine. when, to his astonishment. the
maid. having received Instructions
from her mistress to be very careful of
the kings cup, presented 1t to him by
holding II herself by each of its ham
dies. At once the happy idea struck
the king of a cup with three handles,
which was promptly acted upon. as his
majesty quantity said, "Surely. out of
three handles | shall be able to get

Wild Yebras.

The zebra when wild is a ferocious
animal. and an unwary hunter is likely
10 suffer from its teeth and hoofs. The
author of "Kloof and Karroo" says that
a Boer in Cape Colony had once forced
a zebra to the brink Of a precipice.
when the desperate creature turned up
on him, attacked him with its teeth and
actually tore one of his feet from the
leg.
Another author writes of a soldier
who mounted half domesticated ze-
bra. The creature, after making the
most furious attempts to get rid of its
rider, plunged over a steep bank into
the river and threw the soldier as 1t
emerged.
While the man lay half stunned upon
the ground the zebra quietly walked up
to him and bit off one of his ears.
