charge Of collecting fares on local
railroad line the other day.
The conductor stood silently view
ing the occupants of the car for a
whole minute before he ventured
another remark. Then he nodded
his head toward two children inside
of the closed car.
"You see those cherubs there ?"
he asked. "Well, how old do you
think they are?"
The passenger suggested that one
of them might be five and the other
seven years of age.
''Well, you are mistaken" retort-
ed the conductor. '"They are well
grown children, of. course, but they
are young. Neither Of them has
reached the tender age of three
years yet. You see, their mother
knows their ages. That is the lady
with them. She says they are not

Then woman with buxom boy
of the size usually seen in the Sec

the need of four factors name
ly, the pupils, the teachers,
the courses of practical instruc-

every farm boy and girl who
has had the advantage of a
course of studyin the Minnesota
agriculture high school is not
only enthusiastic in it's praise
but desire to live on a farm, is
proof that the school has a
faculty. of instructors peculiarly
adept to it's work, and that the
plan of the school and the
available subject matter are
such that agricultural high
school education succeeds and
meets the need. While the

school, and the agricultural
high school train for the farm

large need for teachers, expert
mentors, writer's, and other
specialists with highertraining

proposed system of three articu-

along the line teachers broadly
and technically trained. No
doubt many of these teachers
must be educated in existing
high schools, academies, and
normal schools, which more or
less closely articulate with

In the days when a brownstone

life in New York was simpler mat

one of the orthodox MANSIONS a Ger

and two nephews, cousins, to whom
she was guardian.
A classmate and chum of the eld-

assured him, had a ''big gamy streak
to him." Infamed by this eulogy,
both boys were wild for a match, :"
and, not having the means where

put their heads together to compass
the borrowing of one, with the fol

The younger cousin, an unusual

dispatched on the first holiday to
the grocery where the family dealt
ostensibly to order chicken for
dinner. ''But," he said, pointing to
a coop of live fowls, "my aunt wants
to see it before you kill it."
The grocer assented and forth
with drew from the coop what he
considered a desirable bird. But the
boy would have none of it. He had
set his heart on rainbow colored
rooster with enormous comb and
tail.
'Why,' said the grocer, chat is
the very toughest old customer in
the bunch"
"My aunt likes them tough" said
the gentle little boy.
In a couple of hours the. rooster
was borne back to the store, one eye
shut, his comb torn and bloody and
but one feather of his beautiful tail
left. But he was growing so tri-
umphantly that a small crowd fol-

the bird with the 'Fbig gamy streak

"My aunt is much obliged to you, "
said the polite and gentle little boy

"Organized labor is all right

American citizens. When or
ganized labor does this, and it
is doing it every day, it be-
comes just as dangerous as or

satisfied he may be with his
job and the wages paid; with

FIGHT BETWEEN EAGLES.
A Gray Attempts to Rob Bald of His
 Breakfast


 On recent evening a small party of gentlemen, most of all of whom had tinges of sporting prcclivfties in their blood, were discussing the subject of chicken fighting and generally regret ting it's decadence as bright feature in the realm of sport. An old farmer from Rappahannock county, Va, broke into the conversation.
 "Gentlemen," said he, lin my time I have seen some bang-up chicken fights; some be-yu-ti-ful ones but the greatest fight I ever saw between birds in all my born days was a contest be- tween a bald eagle and a gray eagle near my old place in Rappahannock. This fight took place on the bank of the river. I couldn't forget it if I lived to be as old as Methuselah. was the only spectator, and saw the struggle from start to finish. The bald eagle had caught a muskrat, and was about to eat it for breakfast when the gray eagle scared down and attempted to rob the other of his prey. Then began the combat, and how the feath- CTS flew! They fought with wings, beaks and talons. and could hear the talons crack when they struck and tore eacn other. The SOunOS maIte Dy tHolt 1 wings as they buffeted one another were like explosions of musketry. l while their screams and yells sounded l demoniacal. The battle lasted fully ] fifteen minutes, and wound up with a victory for old baldy, who drove the gray eagle away and then resumed his interrupted breakfast.
 1 ''Oh, yes, there are great many eagles up in my part of the state, ,
 said the old agriculturist, in reply to
 a question. ''There are plenty of high
 rocks and lofty trees whereon they
 build their nests. We farmers do not
 give them any latitude, however.
 Whenever one of these big birds is
 seen soaring about the poultry yard,
 or, in fact, anywhere on the farm, it's

 are carried away by them. I know a

 his sympathies are naturally enlistel on the side of labor. But even if he were scion of a princely family, as head of church that has ever tender .ly loved the lowly, he would have a paternal regard for those who earn their living by the sweat of the brow. "Long live our father" was the way in which Plus X was hailed when he arose to address the Roman working men who had come to greet him. In reply the holy father said: 'EThis demonstration of reverence and affec- ton touches me, not because it is ad- dressed to my person, but because it is addressed to him whom represent Christ. It is an index of the faith ami mating your hearts. I am all the more pleased because the majority of you are workingmen, for Christ is the ad- vocate of the workingmen, and the latter are faithful to him" Tn these words the vicar of Christ shows his at titude toward workingmen whose just demands will ever find him powerful advocate. ~5.1s .r

The experts have written, learnediy and violently, all about the changes in the intercollegiate football rules, says writer in the Iullustrated Sport ing News. If the presidents of Yale and Harvard and their. mustered pro- fessors had changed their undergradu- ate courses from four years to two, and back again, or dropped Greek and Latin entirely, and substituted Filipino diabetes, it is painfully the fact that not half so much fuss would have been raises as over the partial abolition of mass play" and the enforcement of the open game" However, first class football coach is paid a larger salary than a professor of dead lan- guages, and it is not likely that 30,00O persons could be assembled to cheer the Harvard commencement exercises, so culture must yield the floor on the ground of the greatest fun for the tlemen who have warped their intel lects in trying to work out a com promise game of football which will please the populace and the player alike, decided to offer an outfit of sample goods for the coming season, and the fall opening" In one part of the field the contestants will be per mitted to enjoy the old-fashioned pas time of hurling solid ton or so of inter1ocked brawn against one man, and driving him as far as possible into the nearest real estate. Tn another area the players must be little gentle men, and run and kick, and keep seven men in the rush line and play dainty, open-work style of football Then the | public will be asked which it prefers, and next year the samples will be withdrawn and the solid goods deliv- cred in one piece.
