A KISS.

An exchange defines kiss as fol
lows: "The kiss, of no use to one, yet
absolute bliss to two; the small boy
gets it for nothing, the young man has
to steal it, and the old man has to buy
it; the baby's right, the lovers priv.
lege, the hypocrite's mask-to a young
girl, faith; to married woman, hope
and to an old man, charity" The
NEWS would add that kiss is like
creation. it is made from nothing, di.
vided by two, and the Lord knows it,.

but the taxes in town are different.
A farmer OF our acquaintance who
moved into town and who lives in a
good house but no better than he left
in the country has just paid 500 to
the county treasurer for taxes on bis

If the interest pays the tax on the
money makes good the loss " hich re-

In the country, the feed for the driv-
ing horse and COW were not consider
ed. In town, where they must be led
out of the pocketbook, it costs dol
lar a week for each of them.
But il our retired farmer is fnan-
cially well provided, these mercen taiy
affairs may he considered as light af-
tictions. The main trouble is how
to dispose of the time. The business
men who were glad to see him when
he came from the farm to trade have
each congratulated him on his charge.
But presently they seem less anxious
to chat than formerly. They are UNI
accountably busy. Politicians around
the court house who used to greet him
with the glad hand and to delight to
happen in about dinner time, and TO
take such interest in his cattle, horses
and hogs, don't care rap for him
now. Watching teams go by has
grown old. Work in the garden seem g
small business, but is some relief. To

on Thanksgiving eve at Helena, Mon tana. Fredericks is one of the best lightweiglhts in the east and his friends expect him to win before the expira- tion of the 20 rounds.
 Jack Munroe will be on trial to-mor- row night. He meets Peter Maher before the National Sporting club of Philadelphia for six-round session. By his performance with the uncer- tain, but always man-with- th-the-wallop, will the miner be judged-either as a possibility or a joke. If he puts Ma her away before the six rounds have been tolled off. the fact won't boost him as the real thing to go up against Jeffries, but it will give him serious and respectful consideration as can didate for the championship. Should Peter get to Munroe with the finishing punch the miner may just as we'll go back to the mines. The decimal that counts him out will also put him out side the pugilistic pale for aye. Mun- roe, as far as fighting is concerned, is az unknown quantity. He is big and strong enough to fight. He is quick for such a big fellow. He stayed four rounds with Champion Jeffries out in Butte, Montana. and that is all that can be said for him. except that he is a great football player. He proved that in many rough and hard fought game. ......s. ss

Harvard Awaits To-MorroW's
 Game With Anxiety

The Coaches and Managers are Not
 Over Confdent-Yale is Putting in
 Some Good Work-Desperatio is the
 Word That Fits the Cornell situa-
 ton.
 It is with little pleasure that Har- yard looks forward to her game with Pennsylvania in Philadelphia to-mor- TOW. The Crimson athletes and their adherents cannot but feel that de- feat is coming to them, and the reports of the excellent condition of the Red and Blue players have not tended to tighten their anxiety. The strong be- lief of the Pennsylvania men in the chances of their team is based upon the past work of the eleven. Up to the time of the game with Columbia the Quaker team was reckoned one of the best in the east, and one bound to give the other big colleges a hard fight. It was accounted one of the best the in- stitution has ever had. When Penn was defeated by Columbia, IS to 6, the cry was raised that the Red and Blue had been overrated, and that it was really quite inferior. The fact that Columbia had beaten them was taken as evidence that the Quakers must be weak .s

Waterbury Team Defeats the Mo-
 hawks of Meriden.
 The Waterbury State league basket ball team won it's first public game of the season last night by defeating the strong Mohawks of Meriden The score was 16-8.
 Only a small crowd witnessed the game, which was almost entirely de- void of unnecessary roughness. Rogers of the local team and Ibbotsone had a scuff1e once and the former lost his head momentarily and used his feet For this he was roundly missed The game was fast and rather exciting at times and the teams were more evenly matched than the score indicates.
 The Waterbury team consisted of McKeon and Armbruster, local men. and Knight Rogers and Bennett of the Asbury Park team. Both of the local men played a good game, but it is doubtful if they are fast enough for the state league. McKnn@ is quick and fast, has a good eye and cages many goals by brilliant throws. But he does not rough 1t enough. At times he appears to avoid scrimmages Arm bruster played a fine game at intervals To Knight and McKeon the honors fell last night They were the bright stars During the first half Knights S work was brilliant He was all over the floor. A quick, snappy player, he is full of life and vim and doesn't object to roughing it. He is a very accurate thrower and judges the dis tance well. Bennett and Rogers put up good article of ball. Waterbury surpassed in individual work, but in team work it was woefulIy inferior to the Silver City quintet There was little system to the home tean's work. This was due to the fact that it was the first time that the boys had played together. The Mohawks' team work was very good and many a time the ball was carried from one end of the floor to the other by clever passing and leg work.

 vors Professional Athletics.

vors Professional Athletics.
 Syracuse, Nov 6.-"I cannot agree with President Eliot of Harvard that professional athletics offer no market for brains,'' says Chancellor James R. Day of Syracuse university. ''They emphasize peculiarly the demand for brains. ...
 Ut will be conceded that national sports are essential to people and have much to do with the development of character. These sports offer field for the employment of the trained intel lect. 1t is not true that they call for muscle only. The football expert must be quick-witted as we'll as swift footed. Ht
 Professional athletics must be of a very high order to justify young men fresh frorn college in spending their most valuable years in pursuing them. Such men should consider how short such careers must be in the nature of things and whether they could afford the price" ..

YALE WORKS HARD.


 New Haven. Nov 6.-Another long, hard, secret, practice was given the Yale varsity team yesterday after noon; in fact. the longest since the game with Columbia. The coaches de- clined to give out any of the details, and it is not known whether the changes made Wednesday proved of any benefit or not. Sanford is still hammering at the center men, and he had them out both morning and after noon. Evidently the coaches have a great deal of respect for the Princeton attacks, for they are working hard to perfect the defense. Stillman, Coy. Glass and Chadwick were again on hand to put the men through their paces.
 Ithaca, N. Y, Nov 6-Desperation is the one word that fits the football situ- ation at Cornell. The coaches are about disgusted with the way the men are working and at the seeming lack Of interest some of the varsity are taking in their team They are not only dfsgusted, but they make their feelings known, and have told the can did2tes some pretty plain truths. But It does not seem to help the situation any. for the practice yesterday after noon lacked form, life and aggressive ness.
