Three Pretty Young Things once got
together at an afternoon tea-drink
for Gizard-to- Gizard talk.
While they Looped the Loops with
their Finger-swords, they grew con-
fidential.
So the candid young lady proposed
that each should tell the others her
worst faults.
without doubt, " said the Oiigina-
tor OF the scheme, My worst fault is
omnipresent candor, express my
opinions with perfect frankness and
scorn deception"
81 cannot agree with you, " said No.
>, having known you to disguise
your thoughts"
No. refused the Office of Arbitra-
tor. ~
The Candid One maintained that she
was free from guile.
No. said she was professionally
frank,
The Candid One accused No. , of
malice.
No. emptied the contents OF her
work basket at the others head
The Discreet One, who meditated
not, smiling a smile, born of wisdom
and full of COMMISSION, called an Am
bulance.
Moral:-Confession is good for the
soul, but bad for the body.

The Punky, having heard much talk
about the play and book, "The Res

fashion, which he should follow, for
his greatest wish is to keep up with the
procession. He has been lying dor
mant at Sucker pond all winter and
the spring sun and showers have re-
vived him and made him brighter than
ever, we hope, consequently, he is hav-
ing little resurrection OF his own, in
which he plays all the parts, and this

AS to the license commissioners for
the 80 odd license towns; many called,
but few we're chosen.
What are we denying ourselves dur

agency, of course.

Bennington; when you scent a very
bad cigar Fifteen for ten cents look

How many people of money, whose

in their power to assist in this direc-
ton.

comn1itte last night did not bring about
any definite results but several important
matters were UP for discussion and it is
evident that the game Of football is still
hanging fire at Harvard. : 5.-yL ., ..
The agreement which was tentatively
drawn up with Yale at Sprir1 field last
Saturday was not ratified but the mem
bers of the committee expressed no doubt
chat the agreement would be ratified very
soon when one or two matters had been
fixed up. - =. 49, = : -
At the meeting last night Captain
Marshall, Coaches Lewis, Farley and Ben
Dibble were present and laid before the
members the advantages and disadvan-
tages of football as it is played to-day.
Nothing was definitely done but the fact
that the matter was discussed at all shows
that the |rumor that Professor Hollis was
not the only member of the faculty who
was of the opinion that football should
be improved or abolished. In fact it is
now freely admitted that there has been
petition before. the faculty to abolish
football and that the petition has been
! referred to the athletic committee for
definite action. ...t 49,.
Another meeting Of the committee will
be held on Friday night. . r. :.

BURROWS WAS EASY
Sheriff Wills Caught Him in a So.
cial Card Game.

Special to The Journal.
= Houghton,r Mich, March 10.-While re-
turning from Kenton on the train, Sheriff
Wills was asked by three fellow travellers
if he would play a game of smear. He
was glad to pass the time and six games
were played, Wills and his partner win
ming. One of the men was addressed as
Burrows by another, and Will became in
terested as he was looking for a man
named G. w. Burrows, wanted in Mari
nette for the theft of a $3.50 diamond ring.
-. When chance offered Wills called Bur
rows aside and said he was under arrest
Burrows "caved'' and accompanied the
sheriff to Jail without a protest on arrival
here.
1t is alleged that Miss Carrie Bickford
Of Depere, Wis, and Burrows, who is a
drummer for a typewriter house in Mil
waukee. have been travelling and stopping
at hotels in the upper peninsula as man
and wife. In Marinette Burrows ran out
of funds and says the Bickford woman
gave him her ring to pawn to pay the
bills. He left her at Marinette and came
to Houghton, then went to Marquette
where it is alleged he pawned the ring
and was returning to Houghton when ar
rested. De-.
The woman swears Burrows stole the
ring. He was taken to Marinette to stand
| trial. The sheriff says it was the easiest
arr est he ever made. &
