The football game at San Francisco
between Minnesota and California
universities is definitely and finally OFF,
California has so informed the Min
nesota authorities, and there is little
ground that they will change their
attitude. The westerners have all
along shown a disposition to snatch
any excuse for crawling out OF their
agreement for a game, and even II
Minnesota should concede to all their
demands, the Californians would un-
.doubtedly find some other pretext for
refusing to arrange the game. Even
if California was disposed to be rea-
sonable, the time is almost too short
to make the necessary arrangements.
The final hitch between the two
arrangements followed Manager Bar
nard's trip to Denver to confer with
Decoto of California. DecOtO cut the
conference short, pleading that he was
obliged to catch a, certain train. A
contract was hastily scribbled out i'll
the last moments of the Interview
between the two managers, and nat
urally some details were overlooked.
Minnesota then wired California, ask
ing for an allowance of about $170 to
cover expenses of telegraphing, Bar
nard's trip to Denver, etc. Minnesota
had agreed to make the trip for her
bare expenses, and had conceded
points which she would not have
thought of conceding. except for the
fact that the members Of the team
were very anxious to take the trip
In view Of the fact that California
was almost sure to clear several thou
sand dollars on the game, the gopher
management felt that it was only rea-
sonable that all incidental expenses as
we'll as the actual transportation anc
hotel bills should be paid by the coas
management.
California not only refused to al
low the claim for incidentals. bu
wired DR.. Williams that unless Min
nesota agreed to CALIFORNIA; terms by
p. m. Tuesday, the game would bt
declared off. The telegram was re
ceived by DR.. Williams at 1858 p. m.
or 1888 u. m, California time. DR.
Williams replied at once, but Califor
MIA answered that the game was off
1t seems patent that California wa
afflicted with cold feet and wanted
to cancel the game in any case.
The members of the Minnesot;
squad broke training again yesterday

SOME ODD GUARDIANS.
Birds aS Sheep lIerders and Jelly Fisk
as Protectors of False
MackereI.

The natives of Venezuela and ad-
joining countries on the north side OF
the river Amazon often avail them
selves of the services of native
crane to care for their poultry, and
also in the place of collies or shep-
herd dogs, to guard and herd their do
nestle animals, says writer in the
Brooklyn Eagle. This remarkable
bird, which the Indians call yakamik,
and the ornithologists psophia crepi-
tans, Is found in a wild state In the
great forests which lie between the
northern coasts of South America and
the Amazon river, particularly in
Venezuela and British Guiana. The
birds never leave the forests unless
shot or captured. They may be trust
ed with the care Of flock Of sheep or
domestic fowls, and every morning
will drive the ducks and poultry to
their feeding places, and carefully col
lecting any stragglers, bring them
safely home at night A yakamik
soon learns to know and obey the
voice of his master, follows him, when
permitted, wherever he goes, and ap-
pears delighted at receiving his
careSSes.
1t pines at his absence and welcomes
his return, and is extremely Jealous OF
any rival. Should any dog or cat APP
proach 1t flies at 1t with the utmost
fury and, attacking 1t with wings and

self regularly during meals, from which
1t chases all domestic animals, and
even the negroes who wait upon the
table, If 1t is not well acquainted with
them, and only asks for a share Of the
eatables after It has driven away all
who might aspire to favorable notice
fro II The family.
A singular case of guardianship has
just been made known by M Gadeau
de kerville. It concerns the young Of
the marine fishes called false mack
erel, which are almost always found
In company with the large Jelly fish
known as rhizostomes. These young
fishes swim parallel with the long
axis of the jelly fish, and In the same
direction as the latter. They remain
above, beneath and behind The ami
NAL, but rarely advance beyond It,
1t frequently happens that some Of
them introduce themselves into the
cavities Of the jelly fish, and are then
visible from the exterior, owing to the
transparency Of the host. Sometimes
the school Of fish wanders a few yards
away from the medusa, but at the
least harm Immediately returns with
great rapidty to occupy It's former
position. 1t Is evident that the Jelly
fish very efflcaciously protects the
young fish by means Of its innumera-
BILE singing capsules. This is DEM
onstra'cd by the fact that when the
fishes become larger they no longer
protect themselves by accompanying

CHAPTER Ill.

Ann Rutledge heard through the
open window Peggy's mufIled cry and
struggle, and ran to the door. BY star,
light it was barely possible to see a
shadow fleeing from the hand-mill but
Antywine La Chance, In pursuit of it.,
passed across the bar of light, a 1.-the,
long bodied and lons -liMbed shape,
his uncovered blond hair flying back
from a face cut like the high-bred
features Of a French noble. He
bounded by the hand-miIl and crossed
a fence at the foot of the garden.
When Antywine thought he was
about to oyertake the object down
the ravine, scamper of horses
hoofs sounded through the valley.
Peggy's captor had left horse ready
for flight Instead of making south,
eastward for the Rock creek bridge
and the road to Springfield, he rounded
the bluff and the village, and was evil
IDENTIFY striking toward Beardstown
The western continuation of New Salem
street stretching across the prairies
until 1t met and curved with bluffs
along the Sangamon, was the route to
Beardstown which stood at the juno
ton of the Sangamon with the ILL
nois.
Light-footed as a deer, scarcely paus-
ing to think, Antywine with inherited
instinct turned east toward the river,
though 1t was the direction opposite
that in wbiph Daouv uaG carriaJ
boat could be found at the mill. The
river was high and running swiftly.
BY taking advantage Of the unusual
current he might reach the bluff road
as soon as a horse foundering across
the mud of the pra...es would be able
to reach 1t. What he would then do
afoot he did not attempt to foresee.

ADVICE TO YOUNG WRITERS.
BE Brief TIL You Have Made n Rep
utatiOn, Says the Literary
Agent.

IF you have good incident about
which to group story said one OF the
literary agents who undertake the job
of selling the young writer's copy, ac-
cording to the New York Sun, that in
cident is worth a certain amount of
narrative. 1t may be equal to 1900
words or it may be strong and intense
enough to make 5000 possible Young
writer's over elaborate. One came the
other day with a story more than 5000
words long. l told the author that the
central idea was good and the story
readily marketable if he reduced 1t to
1900 words. OF course, he was furious
and will send around the story to the
magazines. After 1t has been refused
by all of them he will condense 1t to
1900 words and bring 1t back to me.
And how he will criticise the tastes
of the magazine readers which compel
him to condense his story. He will say
that he is not allowed to put in charac-
ter, observation, wit or anything but
the skeleton of his plot.
THAT Is unfortunately true so far as
the beginner Is concerned. In his case
the editors want story quickly told.
After he has acquired reputation 1t
may be possible for him to digress from
the facts of his plot. But he must stick
to business until he is we'll enough
known to make people read whatever he
writes, whether 1t is interesting or not"

IF there Is any place in the middle

new Hampshire Line That Used to
supply Customers at All
the Stations.

While looking through pile Of old
papers the Exeter correspondent came
across the following article in New
York paper of the date of February 6,
1859, under the caption of THE Smelt
Railroad" says the Manchester Union.
1T is we'll known that the Portsmouth
railroad has to turn everything to ac-
many are the Jokes they perpetrate
upon the conductors in reference to
their shifts to get living. 1t is said
that one of them last year was accus-
toned to bring fish from Portsmouth
and peddle them out on the way to Con-
cord.
"One day he brought along smells,
dealing out to customers at every sta
ton, till he got to Suncook, where he
blew his horn and an old woman came
out and wanted six, just pattern-all
I've got left, you're in the nick of time
said he, and he began to count them
and found only five. 'How's this? l
should have SIX and he began to count
his fingers, and reckon over how he had
disposed of the four dozen he had start
ed with. After awhile, I have 1t; hold
on little while ard I'll be back said
he; and he ran the train back seven
miles to a place where he had let a
woman have one more than she had
paid for, got it, came back to Suncook
and let the old woman have the six she
wanted, and then the 'smelt' train went
