WARNING TO sPooNERs.
Circulation In Public Leads to Arrest
In Wisconsin.

In Wisconsin.
Carroll college trustees have an
nounced that any pupil caught kissing
a girl on the school steps will be ex-
PEELED, says a Milwaukee dispatch. The
evil at Carroll is said to be even great
er than at GAINESVILLE, where the kissing
matches were so noisy and SO prolong-
ed that they kept people awake until
the small hours of the morning.
At Carroll the ''spoonies" are not
satisfied with kissing each other after
dark, but insist on stolen oscillations in
the dark corners of the halls by day as
we'll.
''The loving game is too strong" was
the way the college janitor expressed
it, land has got to STOP"
The janitor's complaint to the facul-
ty was supported, and he was ordered
to report every cas- where a smack
was heard. The trouble at GAINESVILLE
was due to the complaints of people
living near the school that they were
unable to sleep because of it. Hereaft-
er the police will arrest for disorderly
conduct all kissing students.
The city council of Ashland also has
passed an ordinance making public
kissing a misdemeanOr.

UNIQUE FOOTBALL TRICK.

Indian Player Hid Ball Under sweat.
er and Scored a Touchdown.
In a game full of the widest excite
ment and witnessed by 10000 people
Harvard barely defeated the Carlisle
Indians on Soldiers field at Cambridge
the other afternoon by a score of IL
to II, say the New York World. At
the end of the first half the visitors
led with a score of 5 points and at
the beginning Of the second half scor-
ed a touchdown on the most unique
trick play that has ever been seen in
Cambridge Thus, with a score of II
points against her and the second half
partially oyer, the crimson started to
win out. Harvard scored her two
touchdowns and Marshall kicked the
goals, which gave the winning point.
Carlisle got the ball in the first half
on forcing Harvard to punt and from
the forty yard line carried it down to
within ten yards of the crimson goal.
Here Harvard braced, and little John
son, instead Of punting, had the ball
passed back and held for a place kick.
The little Indian leader kicked a beau
tiful goal. There was no more scoring
in this half, but on the very first kick
[ off in the second half the Indians got
the ball and, gathering in a mass, con-
cealed the pigskin for a second, while
it was tucked up under the back OF
Dillon's sweater. Harvard did not
fathom the trick, and Dillon, with a
clear field and the ball securely tucked
UP under his sweater, started down
the gridiron and over the line, where
| he reached around and pulled the pig
skin out and touched it to the ground.
johnson kicked a goal. ...
The run by Dillon was decidedly the
feature Of the game and will undoubt-
| eddy give rise to a vast deal of discus
sion. The instant he caught the ball
the entire Carlisle team clustered about
him so that no one could see what was
being done. The Harvard team threw
themselves on the massed Indians just
as the latter had begun to move down
the field well punched. While the
crimson players were searching for the
ball Dillon came out of the crowd ell
tirely empty handed and had gone thir-
ty or forty yards before a single per-
son in the crowd realized that he had
the ball. AS he neared the Harvard
goal the football was seen bullying be-
meath his sweater behind his back.
The Harvard undergraduates fairly
gasped, while the rest of the spectators
shrieked with laughter. Coach Gran
ston made a protest, but the play was
allowed. There is no rule covering the
play.

In the Autumn

~ AAS
There Is something in the autumn sets my
gypsy blood astir.
When the partridge and the plover's
sprightly wings are all awh1r;
With the purple and the scarlet and the
yellow of the leaves.
While the fertile fields are freighted with
the pumpkins and the sheaves.
When, within the witching woodlands,
turtle doves are sadly calling,
And the leaves of red and russell from the
trees are sadly falling,
Touched with fervent farewell kisses by
the autumn's am'rous mouth.
And the swallows have departed to the
summer of the south!
When the grass has left the meadow n
the green has left the hill,
n the only feathered songster is the
%plaintive ~whippoorwil;
When the apples in the richard and the
sumac's caves are red,
And the duails are loudly piping in the
stubble where they fed!
Oh, the brilliant autumn season. the most
, brilliant of the year.
When the gorgeous groves are cleaning
ere the leaves begin to scar:
When the maple boughs are crimson and.
the hick'ry's leaves are gold,
And the days are sultry sumner and the
nights are Wintry cold.
When the river is blue as steel and the
sky is clear as glass,
And the mist is on the mountain and the
hoarfrost on the grass;
When the harvest is all garnered and the
farmers work Is done.
And the hillsides are resounding with the
pointer and the gun!

KIMoNos FOR STREET WEAR
Chicago Club Women IndOrse Them

Chicago Club Women lndOrse Them
For Shopping and Thenters.
The japanese kimono and the flowing
silken robes worn by the %orientals, or
namented with exquisitely embroidered
flowers and birds-these are the idea!
garments for women from the artistic
standpoint. Members of the North
Side Art club, Chicago. reached this
conclusion after DIR. Yamei Kin, a ma
tive Chinese. had drawn parallels be-
tween the crude, abrupt lines Of the
tailor made gown and the graceful
urves Of the kimono during a talk on
.Chinese Women the other forenoon,
says the Chicago Tribune.
The speaker wore the native costume.
and her hearers went into ecstasies
over the delicate %colorings and the
graceful lines of the loose garment. Dr..
Yamei Kin urged that the dress of the
oriental women is practical as well as
beautiful. and after telling why it was
SO the American women agreed that
there is no dress quite like the kimono.
They urged that American women
should adopt the dress of the %orientals
and appear in kimonos on all occasions
-on the street, in their homes and at
the theaters.
"Wouldnit the kimono be cold in win
ter timer was asked.
"Coldy" echoed DIR. Yamei Kin. "No;
not cold. You may put IN as many XII
monos as you want to, the one over the
other. until you have enough on to keep
you warm
at would be a good idea if women
would adopt the Japanese kimono for
general wear" declared Mrs. La Verne
w. Noyes, president Of the club, "They
could lee worn on all occasions. and
then the pockets in the sleeves would
be a great convenience to the Chicago
women. They are large enough to hold
samples and purse, almost everything
Mrs. f. w. Tracy thought they would
be excellent for shopping, and Mrs. r.
L. Greenlee declared that the location
Of the pockets would do much to pro-
tect women against holdups and pick
pockets.

Sixteen-year-old Harold Bender Par
ker of Lowell. Mass, arrived at Pough-
keepsie recently after wandering from
academy to academy seeking a chance
to work for his board and an oppor-
tunity to study, says the New York
World. In his dress suit case he car

The kaiser and strauss.

An amusing story is told of Emperor
William and Richard Strauss. the COM
poser. One day recently when at the
opera the kaiser said that he liked the
simple old operas, and, turning to
Strauss. he asked him his opinion.
Strauss took the liberty of disagreeing
with his majesty, who, turning in COM
ic despair to those around him, said,
"Now see what an adder l have been
nurturing in my bosom!" Since then
Strauss is called ''imperial bosom adj

Can the SILK Hat BE Going.

except on quite formal occasions. is be-
ing discarded both by professional and
commercial men there can be no ques-
ton. says the London Telegraph. For
every tall hat asked for there are quite
fifty or sixty felt hats and caps sold.
In other directions the silk hat has also
been very badly hit. It used to be a
custom for all bank clerks to appear at
business in the regulation silk hat.
What happens now? Half the men
e caps or straws and the other half
bowlers. This breaking of a time hon
ored custom was due to a large extent
to the example set by the members of
the London Stock Exchange.

BIBLE TEXT FOR BUSINESS.
Plan of Benton Harbor BARRIERS to
Fight Against Flying Rollers.

Fight Against Flying Rollers.
The BARRIERS of Benton Harbor, Mich,
have been forced to adopt Biblical
signs in order to counterfeit the int1u-
ence of the Flying Rollers, who have
settled in the port and are going about
advocating the growth of long hair on
face and head, says the Chicago Post.
The BARRIERS have had printed and now
display in their windows this text from
Paul's letter to the Corinthians:
,"Doth not nature itself teach you
that if a man have long hair it is a
shame unto him."
Benton Harbor seems to be the ia
vorite retreat of people with odd ideas
of religion. Dowie has a flock there,
the Rollers are multiplying, and there
are two or three other companies who
have queer religious notions.

Noxel work For submarines.

The schools of porpoise off the coast
of Brittany are playing havoc with the
fish. Recently certain cruisers of the
French navy were sent out to practice
or the ''sea pigs" with their secondary
batteries. The experiment was a fail
ure. Now it is proposed to use the sub
marine as the only weapon with which
war can be waged successfully against
the pest. Bombs will be shot from the
tubes into the fish and blow them to
pieces.

GREAT RAILWAY DEPOT
Main Features of New Struc-
ture at Washington.
TO BE THE FINEST IN THE WORLD

Union station to BE Built by Penn
sylvania and b. and o. Railroads
VIII Cost S14, OOO,OOO-TwentyTho
sand Persons Will Be Able to Move
About the Building without Crowd
ing Huge Passenger
Planned.
A place in which 10000 persons can
move about without crowding and in
which an assemblage of 5000 persons
would hardly be characterized as a
crowd is a general description which, it
is said, will fit the inclosed passenger
c%oncOurse of the new Union station to
be built by the Pennsylvania and the
Baltimore and Ohio raill-Rd companies
in Washington, says tie New York
Commercial Advertiser. This station
with it's approaches will cost $14,OOO,-
600, and it will be the largest and most
costly if not the handsomest railroad
station in the world.
A general description of the station
has recently been prepared. Marble,
steel, glass, mahogany and bronze are
the materials to be used in the con-
struction of this great building, and
Burnham of Chicago, the architect Of
the famous "White City," has evolved
some new ideas for what he terms
ian appropriate gateway to the ma
tons capital
Of 76O feet, with a depth of $50 feet
and a height of 100 feet. Three great
arches, each thirty feet wide and fifty
feet high, will open into a vestibule
with triple domes, sixty odd feet high
and thirty-five feet in diameter. And
from within this vestibule there will
be a vista through arches N domes
of more than 300 feet on either side.
Built on classic lines, this structure
will be impressive as we'll for symme-
try as for it's m~assiveness.
Much Of the interior Of the station.
embracing an area approXimating 1OO,-
600 square feet, will have a clear space
overhead of 100 feet. Although it may
contain thousands Of people, there will
be no lack of fresh air. The main
waiting room will have a barrel vault
ceiling 100 feet high and a floor space
$50 feet long and 1GO feet wide. The
main dining room is to be 65 by 100
feet in dimensions, with a height Of 80
feet, and there is to be a ticket lobby
40 feet long. 81 feet wide and about
85 feet high. These are but three fea-
lures of a wonderfully capacious and
comprehensive building designed for
the comfort and convenience Of trav-
elers. Perhaps the most remarkable
section of the structure will be the
great, passenger c%oncourse, which runs
the entire length Of the main building
and is entirely inclosed. being 100 feet
wide and so feet high. This will be
as attractive as artistic decoration can
make it, and there will be enough room
in it to give 10000 persons a square
yard of room each to stand in.
Besides it's handsome furnishings in
mahogany, this station will have all of
the modern appliances for public com
fort and convenience. Baggage will be
handled below the street level. and
there will be numerous underground
tramways to carry it from m part of
the building to another. 1t is expected
that it will take about two years to
complete this station.

College Yells Revised.
IA movement to revise and censoriZe the
college yell has been proposed.l

yell has been ~proposed.l
The raucous yell
OF old Cornell
And the whooping hail Of Yale,
The Harvard howl
And the Princeton growl
To a milder one must pale.
The U. c. shrek
And the Vassar squeak
And the Hopkins ribald blare;
Northwestern's yelp
OF a lion whelp
Shall be softer on the air.
The Wellesley squeal
And the Stanford peal
And the rah. rah of old Knox;
The West Point cry
And the Fiske Xxi vi
Must eliminate their shocks.
And the hoop-te-doos
OF the Oskaloos
Shall be made more circumspect,
But the college yell
Will sound like-well,
1t will hold more intellect!

Tumut the Future Great.

The Australian federation seems like
~ to settle upon Tumut as the per-
manent capital of the commonwealth,
but it, is a condition that the town
must change it's name, says the New

Canada, was originally named Bytown,
but Tumut is much worse.

ton will collect $50. and if he loses be
will buy a handsome communion serv-
ice for use in the church. If he wins.
the congregation is to buy him a new

which ought to exist in a public school,
where all class distinction should be
laid aside and nothing count but merit.
'"The self conscious air of pride with
which fraternity boys and girls ignore
the outside 'barbarians,' who are often
their intellectual and moral superiors,
Is simply eXasperating. In this direc-
hon the girls are worse than the boys,
or perhaps the girls feel the social
Sights more. keenly. Mothers with
tears in their eyes tell of the heartless
and cruel ways in which their daugh-
tiers are sighted and snubbed by the
society girls.
college athletics and college secret
societies are the special features of col
lege life which are injuring the second
ary schools. The glory of the athlete
has dimmed the glory of the scholar.
Drawn is superior to brain in winning
renown for the college and the individ-
ual. The muscular Ounce or laggard
who can be kept up to a minimum
grade of scholarship only by persistent
coaching and pressure and by much
hard winking on the part of the faculty
is glorified.
"Five columns of newspaper glory to
a game between Yale and Harvard,
twenty lines to an intercollegiate de-

the occasion for a general debauch.
Not always, but far too often"

There IL q general impression in
this country that the japanese live on

and wheat, but sells the rice to the
cities.
Barley IL far moro nutditious than
rice, and the country people are sturdy,

and the nobility the diet differs In the
substitution OF rice for barley. the use
Of more hsh and the addition Of meat
to a certain extent. The peasant eats no
meat, beca use they regard cattle with
great ahec> 'on as their friends and
helpers. The, would no moro think Of
eating the flesh OF COW or OK. without
which their farming would be impossi-
BILE. than your people would eat pct
animal. This feeling may be the result
in q measure. of their Buddhistic relig-
lon, whose teachings are most ht Able.
Some idea Of the small propo Ion
that flesh food bears to the entire diet
may be gained from the fact that In
1899 the number of cattle killed was
1900 head. This quantity was used by
about 100000 Of people, the remain
der Of the entire population Of about
<5.000.0 900 belonging to TIA peasant
class.
