IF WAS PAW

From the Columbia Herald.
II i was paw and paw was me,
Gee what a great thing that 'ud be
/ wouldn't whip him just cause he
Went SneakingoT sometimes to fish.
And il he'd rather play than go
To school I'd say "All right" and oh,
But wouldn't be have good times tho.
With everything for which he'd wish.
I'd let him stay up late at night,
And then I'd go ahead and light
The gas for him because he might
Bump into chairs or things, you see;
III bet he'd be that glad all day,
With not a thing to do but play,
He'd haft to yell, he'd feel so gay,
II / was paw and paw was me.
III was in his place IN bet
That everything he'd want he'd get,
| guess he'd think that he had met
The kindest paw be ever saw.
But still I'm glad that 1 can't be
My paw and that be isn't me,
Because if ] was him you see,
Then maw,s she wouldn't be my NAV.

VIII Play Foot Ball at Kansas City
Thanksgiving Day Haskell
Indians VIII Line Up
Against Bethany in
the Morning.

In Kansas and Missouri there is bul
n foot ball game Of the season. THAI
is the annual struggle between The
Kansas Jayhawkers and the Missouri.
Tigers on the gridirOn at Kansas City
Thanksgiving Day. Every other game
Of the year is but a preliminary con.
test for this final battle for supremacy
and this last game means more than
every other played throughout the
season.
There VIII be another big game in
Kansas City on Turkey Day to attract
the out-of-town visitors. In the morn
ing the Haskell Indians will play the
Lindsborg team. This should be one
Of the greatest foot ball games seen in
the west this season. The Indians
have a record and their strength is
known. The Swedes are mol well
known, but the score Of = to 0 made
against Washburn shows that the
eleven is one Of the strongest in the
West.
Kansas and Missouri are 50 evenly
matched and have played such an
even game that it is a toSS-up as to
whether the old gold and black or the
blue and red viii have triumphant
Thanksgiving Day. At last reports
the Tigers will average 10 while the
men from Lawrence will be 10 pounds
TO a man below this.
The Tigers won last year and new
interest has been aroused and it is the
general opinion that the crowd in
Kansas City next Thursday will be
the greatest which ever attended the
foot ball game there.

Mis- Pettinoats

Prom the Boston Transcript Of May p.
IL miss Petticoats'' were not an en-.
tertaining story, which it decidedly is,
II would stiil allure the reader through
It's many-sided knowledge Of human
nature, and its clear understanding OF
the ins and outs Of human character.
Although the authors name appears
on the title page as Dwight Tilton, II
is an open secret that the book Is the
work Of two well known Boston news
paper men, both Of whom have appar-
emily turned their journalistic train
ing to good account in the writing Of
Miss P~etticoats."
They have written a straightfor-
ward tale Of modern life in a New
England seaport town and in New
York City, and they show in every
page or their story an intimate ac-
quaintance with life, with mankind
and with womankind, such as news
paper men especially are able to ac-
quire during their daily round Of pro-
fessional work.
Their plot and the involved Incl
dents are Of the simplest sort, partak-
ing sometimeso OF the harmless qualities
OF a Sunday School story, sometimes Of
the audacity Of a modern society novel
and frequently Of the naive elements
which GO TO make up the harmless
necessary juvenile tale. The mixture
Of literary style resulting thereby does
not, however, disc0ncert the reader: it
merely gives an added interest to the
story.
1t is in no wise essential to disclose
the plot Of Miss P~etticoats." That
is best left to the pleasure and enter
tainment Of the prospective reader.
The heroine at the outset of the story
is a young girl employed in the cotton
mill Of Old Chetford-under which
disguise the authors reveal no little
knowledge of New Bedford, its people
and its life-and at its close she is a
wealthy young woman who finds hap
piness 10 the love Of a clergyman who.
has been her good angel ever since her
girlhood. At intervals through the
course Of the story other characters
are prominent, among them being
Miss Notwithstanding grandfather,
a wealthy lady who gives her a home,
a young man Of the world whose fond
ness for intrigue gets him into many
difficulties, a foolish young married
woman, and several New Workers oil
different types. Nov and then
through the course OF their story tbel
authors preach to their readers, butt
lbe %sermonizing is rarely dull or OBJ
lruslye. The volume is illustrated by
Charles II. Stephens, and is brought
lut by the c. NJ. Clark Publishing
company, 21l fremont street. Boston,

The little newsboy, whose life was
crushed out by an electric car on
Park Row, New York, on Thursday Of
last week, when offered 4 glass Of
whiskey by a police officer to sustain
his ebblng strength, replied, "No, /
took the pledge when / was confirmed
and my mother would feel sorry If /
broke It. 1 win be much obliged If
you will give me a glass Of water"
IL is sad TO think Of a young life 50
noble as this one being crushed out.
but in his dying words the little fel-
low set an example that might well be
emulated by thousands Of young men
and boys connected with newspapers
over the country. II, when offered
every young man and boy
would remember that the drinking Of
would make his mother sorry
II she knew IL, he might have the
moral courage 10 say "No."
