lack of knowledge regarding animals that once were

Sam Meeker and Harry Grant were two boys,
who, although very unlike in all respects found
much TO admire III each other, and were constantly
together. They were also partners in enterprise
that engaged most of their spare ti1ae. This was
the breeding and raising Of carrier pigeons and
they had several dozens of very fine birds which
they had themselves raised and Of which they were
very proud

ITALIANS FEEL THE COLD MOST.
But Even the Winter Blasts Don't Cure
Them OF the Outdoor Habit.

Cold weather in New York is felt nowhere
| more severely than among the Italians.
When the mercury gets 10 or 10 degrees
below the freezing point the little bucket
shaped braziers, familiar in all Italian cities
in winter time, but scarcely seen in New
York outside the Italian quarters, are
brought out to the sidewalk, and men,
women and children crowd about them
warming their hands and hovering over
the Goals with eager anxiety.
Every pushcart man swings his arms
about his body, and from the crowd in the
street market come loud complaints Of
the cold. Men and boys sun themselves
all morning against the wall Of the shelter
pavilion In Mulberry Bend Park, and have
to be driven from the heated basement OF
the pavilion.
The Italians are almost the only people. in
New York who muffie their throats in cold
weather. Professors OF hygiene talked
the American people out Of this habit Il
generation ago. and the old fashioned
woollen necklace" almost disappeared.
The Italians also encase themselves in
many layers of cheap undergarments.
woollen underclothing is too costly for
the Italian workingman. but he buys much
for quality by quantity. Sometimes he
draws heavy stockings over his shoes.
But not even the coldest weather can
| friRhten the Italians from their outdoor
habits. The streets OF the quarters are
dense with people, and the shop doors are
open when native New Workers run shver-
| ineto cover Old Italian women sit all day
long behind their little street stands, keep
, ing warm as best they may by the aid of their
| bras.ers as they sell half frozen vegetables
| to half frozen customers. Sometimes a
| man is seen warming his hands under the
, blanket of horse 81 anding in the 81 rect.
! BOYS in the Italian quarters surrep-
titioisly make little fires Of refuse material
, in the streets. Up in the suburbs, where
! there are large Italian colonies they amuse
| and warm themselves with little firepots
made of discarded tomato cans swung at
| the end Of q st out wire. A few holes are
made near the bottom Of he can, and when
the Goals need livening the boy swings the
can about his head. ALMOST daily the Italian
boys start fires in the Bathgate woods at
Wakefield. and keep the police and the
! firemen on a sharp lookout.
| Suburban Italians have rooted OBJ
! ject ion TO buying coal at present prices,
! but they are industrious woodgatherers.
No fallen tree long escapes their hands,
and the dead limbs of the woods In The
| Bronx are gathered clean by Italian women,
children and superannuated men.
| The younger Italian immigrants take
! naturally to American winter sports, and
| soon learn to endure the cold when there
! is skating or coastng, but one seldom sees
| a full grown Italian youth on skates, and
| the grown up Italian girls leave skating
| out Of their list Of accomplishments.

SANTA CLAUS IN WEST STREET.
He Appears There rs Friendly White
Man TO an Amiable COlOred Brother.

Hanging outside of a poultry and game
store in West street yesterday were two
punches of 'possums, the real thing. straight
from Ole Virginny; one bunch having the
pelts still on, and the other bunch with the
pelts of.
Standing on the sidewalk looking at them
first at one bunch and then at the other
with evident admiration, was an amiable
appearing colored man, of middle age,
who looked as though he might himself
have come from the South, from the land
OF the 'possum and the coon.
Il suppose you know what they are,
Uncle." said a friendly white man who
WIS on his way down West street and who
had ventured to pause and address the
colored man whom he had seen thus look

In the last ten years Camp has developed
the tackle back play, which was used with
such suSa success ", by Gordon Brown 3 team IN
the development Of that eleven, one of
the greatest, was the result of the combina-
ton Of Brown and Camp. The following
year Charlie Gould was captain of the team,
an and ne and Camp were not as close friends
Chadwick, the captain in 1902, went back
his advice constantly
Whenever captain shows that he regards
Camps suggestions as somewhat uncalled
for, fale's veteran coach Is sure to with
draw. He never antagonizes the men,
but abidcs his own time and oppor tunity.
Several times there have been noticeable
breaks between those in charge, but 1t
has always been Camp who has withdrawn,
and the results have been Il vindcation
Of his theories. Although his hand is
always on the pulse OF football at Yale,
Camp is seldom seen on the gridiron when
the coaching season is on. He plays his
game from the inside
The new rules this year were opposed
by MI. Camp, he contending that they de-
feated the very purposes for " hich they
were made. the prevention OF injuries and
the development of the light man. The
argument that he uses is that the men are
not hurt by close play, because any man In
condition can stand all the team on top OF
him without being any more seriously hurt
than squeezed a bit, and that the new rules
eliminate from the game all but heavy men.
The modification of the new rul ~ az finally.
adopted is entirely due to Camps influence
Camp is quiet and modest, but is re-
garded by all who know him as steady,
uphill fighter. In college, outside OF his
interest in athletics. he is little known. The
same quiet steadiness that has been the
predominating characteristic of his bust.
ness life was the most prominent trait Of
his undergraduate life. Not particularly
inclined TO social diversions, he was, how
ever, elected TO Skull and Bones, and the
prominence of his family in this city has
made him well known figure in social
circles here since he was young man.
He married Miss Alice Sumner, the
daughter of Prof. Sumner. Yale eminent

been noted for its hospitality. Mrs. Camp
