Grewsome Football Legend.

Where did football originate? Some
people give ancient Chester, in Eng
land, credit for bringing the great
winter pastime into existence. There
is record Of football playing in that
city In the year 1910. but Chestrlans
believe in a legend Of much earlier
date.
In the tenth century. it is said. n
Dane was captured and beheaded by
the citizens. Some one began kicking
the head about the streets, others
followed, and It was discovered that
this formed a new and decidedly fas-
cinating sport. This was repeated
whenever possible. but as enemies
heads became scarcer and the enter
tainment Of kicking them more diff
cult to procure it was at last arranged
"for the shoemakers yearly on Shrove
Tuesday to deliver TO the draper, in
the presence Of the mayor of Chester,
one ball of leather, called a football.
Of the value of 3s. 4d. or above"
There is evidently a fine precedent
for those concerned in the game "los-
ing their heads"

A STORY OF FORREST.
now the PepDery Actor Squared Ac-

How the PepDery Actor Squared Ac-
counts WIfh One Critic.
Many years ago Edwin Forrest, the
celebrated actor, when in New York,
was in the habit of dining at Win
dust's, a noted restaurant on Park
row that was a favorite resort Of ac-
tors and literary men. It usually hap
pened that Forrest would be joined by
friends and that the little group would
sit together at one table. On one oc-
casion it chanced that an Englishman
with a reputation for conceit and inn
pertinence, who had scraped acquaint-
ance with the tragedian. was one Of
the group.
Early I'm the course of the dinner the
Englishman began to make criticisms
which he considered pleasantries about
Forests conception of certain roles.
Encouraged by his own appreciation he
gave full play TO his humor and con-
cluded each Of his impertinences with,
Pardon my freedom, sir; it's my way"
To the astonishment Of all who knew
Forests irascible disposition he bore
the Briton's offensive remarks patient
ly and seemingly ignored them as far
as possible. When, however, the nuts
were brought in by the waiter, he took
several cracked walnuts in his hand
and, walking over to the Briton's place,
jocularly snapped them successfully in
the face of that individual. lightly say
ing after each shot, Pardon my free.

NrlrncIea of wnrfnre.

Until war ceases, which will be the
greatest miracle of all, it viii always
be the exhibition ground OF miracles
How can bullet puncture a mans
coat behind and before or piece his
boot and sock and be gravely shaken
out OF both without wounding him?
And what mysterious channel does this
human body contain which leads a
bullet dexterously around the heart, a
hairs breadth from the seat of life, yet
never rending it-a phenomenon vouch-
ed for by more than one army surgeonl
Shells have burst thunderously be-
tween the very legs of soldiers and left
them still soldiers. pompom shells Of
two inches diameter have passed
through legs and arms without shatter-
ing the bone or bursting at the impact,
though there appears to be literally no
room for such a merciful performance.
In fact, history of the escapes in war
would be wild reading even after a
course OF Munchausen.

Considerable grass has been damaged
