Saturday. On the Kickoff AIillerSvllr

quite Il surprise. for by steady gains the
ball WAS pushed to within few yards
of Tones goal and touchdown by Mil

WAS lost by II tumble. Right here the
Tome boys rcgained their nerve and by
good offensive work soon had the ball
over Millersville goal line for Il touch
down. Moreover Tones goal waS not
once in danger during the remainder of
the game. as MillerSvilr WAS held safe
III all times. One more touchdown was
mad" in the first half. and two in the
second. from only one of which Il goal
resulted. making THE final score u to q
in favor of Tome.

The bigness of our country is EN-
phasized every now and then by some
obscure governmental routine. Away
off in the Philippines we are delivering
mail in canoelike boats, and, on the
other hand, says Harper's Weekly, a
contract was let for carrying the mail
in Alaska by dog-sleds. The success
full bidder was Oscar Fish, and his route
lies between Eagle and Valdez, a dis
lance of Ala miles. He makes two trips
month, and receives nearly 81, 500 a
trip, or $4,000 year. Only 800 pounds
are carried per trip, and this is usually
made up of letters, few newspapers.
Postoffice department officials say that
the sum paid Fish is very reasonable
when it is considered that he makes the
trip by dog-sled, and that he has the
most dangerous route of any mail car
rier in the world.

We old-fashioned people have but lit
tie patience with a generation that Il
trying to reform the world with new
methods-abolishing the ways of their
forefathers-raising children on love
instead of discipline and filing all the
schools in theworld with athletic sports
and intercollegiate contests. What
honor, what manliness, is there in kick
ing ball or batting one or wrestling
or rowing a boat. These sports have
gotten to be the most important part
of the curriculum and fill the daily pa
pers with pictures and thrilling reports
of the game. 1t is all an "ignis fatuus"
that fools the boys and makes them
think they have acquired an education.
When they went to college their par
ents had fond hopes Of them-when
they come out that hope is gone, for
they are unfit for business or the du-
ties of life.
While I was half recovering from
the morphine state 1 got to ruminat-
ing about the value of things and
compared good health and domestic
happiness and the love and devotion of
wife and children with fame and power
and wealth and ambition and the very
thought of them sickened me.

he wishes every confederate monument

A CELERY CAMILLA.
The Flower Was Missing and the
Vegetable Was Made to
Serve Instead.

While speaking of the serio- comic side Of
stage life recently, relates the New York
Times, Miss Clara Morris told the following
story as an experience of her own:
Somewhere in the wide world" she said,
there is an actor-and a good one-who
never eats celery without thinking of me. 1t
was years ago when was playing Camille.
In the first scene, you will remember, the
unfortunate Almond takes a rose from Ca.
mile as token of love.
We had almost reached that point when.
as l glanced down, saw that the flower
was missing from its accustomed place on
my breast
What could l do? On the flower hung
the strength of the scene However, con.
tinued my lines in an distracted fashion.
and began still hunt for that rose or a
substitute. My gaze wandered around the
stage. On the dinner table was some celery.
Moving slowly toward it, | grasped the
celery and twisted the tops into a rose form,
Then began the fateful lines:
Take this flower; the life of a camelia
is short-if held and caressed it will fade in
morning or an evening"
Hardly able to control himself, he spoke
his lines, which ran: 1t is cold, scentless
fewer. 1t is a strange flower
Il agreed with him"
