Cannon Refused Fortune.
The Rev. Edward Cannon, a chap
lain to King George ", was a dog.
Gedly Independent man. On one occa-
sion he refused to compliment his roy
al master on his singing and for a
time fell into disfavOr His manner
was high handed and not always too
courteous, but his actions were always
on the side of right and justice. The
biography of his friend Barham, the
author of the "Ingoldsby Legends" :"
contains, among other anecdotes of
Cannon, the story of how he disinher.
ited himself.
a silly old lady summoned him to
her house and pretended to be declin
ing in health. She told him she had
made her will, by which the whole OF
a considerable fortune was to be left
to him.
Il don't believe It," said Cannon aft

doubtfully. The lady assured him that
the document was lying in a desk In
the room.

Smiling at his incredulity, she placed
the will in his hands. Cannon read it.

ELECTRIFIED HOUSES.
The Simple Explanation of 81 Very
Ordinary Phenomenon,

An instance of nonfamiliarity with
simple scientific facts is illustrated By
an article that goes the rounds Of the
press once or twice annually-namely,
the story Of the electrified house. The
article usually states that some one
has discovered that everything he
touches In his house - the radiators,
picture frames. banquet lamps. etc
gives him an electric shock; hence he
fears there is some connection between
the arc light wires and the water Dipey
near his residence. The electric lighi
Inspector is therefore summoned and
reports that the wires of his compan.
az intact and that the electricity muss
come from some other source.

get electric discharges from his knuc-

for the University claim that Ea-
gene fumbles were responsible for
the better showing of the College
men, but to handle the ball with
out fumbling is one of the essen
tials of the game,
The showing of the Collegians
was an agreeable surprise TO every
body, and Coach Herbold, whose
excellent instruction made theresult
possible, shares with the men the
universal praise of the hour.
Abraham and Bundy had power
full men to contend against, but
both were equal to the occasion,
Abraham having at no time failed
when it was given him, to carry
the ball for a gain, Gau1t and
Bowers at guard and Burnough at
center, were excellent, the latter
having blocked two punts and per-
formed other stunts during. the
game. The backs were especially
faithful in their work, Root having
made the longest run of the day.
Laughlin never failed in his passes,
and, experts say, was, fine in head
work. At ends, Cupper and Rose
played excellent ball. On account
Of the sloppy field, Williams from
whom long runs were expected,
was given bat little opportunity
Pre-eminent however on the field
as a player was Pilkngton, OAC's
fu11back, whom none could stop
nor nothing make afraid. 1
A pretty feature of the game was
the gentlemanly spirit manifested
by all OAC students toward the
visitors, and the amiable conduct of
both teams towards each other.

md the College is now a friendly
one, and it should be kept so. i
