An investigation made by Professor
Dexter OF the University Of Illinois at
the close OF the last football season
showed that in the last ten years there
were. as far as could be ascertained,
only three men who had died from the
direct effects Of the game Of football
In the colleges. OF these one was
man who had been forbidden to play
the game because Of a weak heart, and
another was a man who played with
out training. Less than per cent OF
the men who played on regular college
teams were seriously injured Thus II
would seem that college football,
though a decidedly strenuous game, is
not necessarily dangerous.

SCHOOL, NOTES.

Wednesday, November 4, the young
ladies' of the senior class of the High
School gave "box" social at Forester's
Hall. Though the gathering was not
large, an enjoyable evening is reported
Games Of all kinds were in order until
about 10 o'clock. when the real fun be-
gan. Each lady had donated box con-
tanning refreshments for two, and the
boxes were sold to the highest bidder:
Archie Bishop acted as auetioneer aud
Burt Ladd as clerk, but at times the
bidding was so enthusiastic that both
were somewhat troubled to keep the
pace" The evening was a success both
socially and financially. The proceeds,
something over $40, mas been added to
the 'O4 class fund to be used to defray
graduating expenses.
The graduating class this year is one
of the largest in the history of the school

THE NEW STATION.

The weather last week was decidedly
unfavorable to the work of building the
new station, and progress was slow.
This week the weather has been all that
could be desired, and the walls have
been built to the level of the second
story windows. A large number Of extra
men were added to the force Monday,
and the work will be rushed forwar d
with all possib lie speed. The 'Aelson,
vile blocks" the bricks used in the con-
struetion of the building, are being laid
in black cement, and with the granite
foundation and trimmings make COM
bination that is very attractive.

sweet Cider Dreams.

The dapper waiter fingers;
What shall drink tonight
turn, with listiess fingers,
The wine list to the light,
And while scan It, thinking
That wine has lost its charm.
] dream once more OF drinking
Sweet cider at the farm.
From granddad'.ancient settle
Before the cracking blaze,
watch the singing kettle;
A merry tune il plays
There when the corn was swapping.
And apples sizIed and steamed.
With granddad slyly mapping,
My sweetes. dreams were dreamed
The winter wind. snow laden,
Coaxed up the roaring flames,
And there a rosy maiden
Sat by and played me games:
There love. who heard the clinking
OF glasses, came and saw
Two happB lovers drinking
Sweet cider through a straw.
Snug sheltered from the weather.
At Boreas we laughed
And quenched our thirst together
In that cool amber draft.
That drink Of granddads making.
Pressed in the mill hard by.
Set no light head to aching,
Turned no bright speech awry.
StiIled are the clinking glasses;
Long vanished Is your smile,
Oh. rosiest Of lassesi
But still ! dream. and while
Ny gray mustache I'm dipping
In wine without a flaw
! see your red lips slipping
Sweet cider through a straw.

Domestic Servants and Lecture


Some time ago a coterie OF well mean
ing housewives of Wilmette, ILL.,,
evolved a plan for the solution Of the
yexed domestic servant problem. II
was to establish a course Of Thursday
afternoon and Saturday evening lee
lures on cooking, hygiene, etc, with
hope OF interesting cooks and house
maids.
As might have been expected, the
plan was doomed 10 failure from the
start. Had they taken practical view
of the matter they might have foreseen
that Hulda. Gretchen or Bridget would
hardly welcome with enthusiasm a
proposition to devote her Thursday
afternoon out" TO listening to little
talks by members OF the Wilmette Wo-
mans club, no matter how elevating
the topics of these lectures might be.
To the housemaids these courses Of in
struction were too much like their or
binary duties 10 furnish the recreation
they fancied they needed. They did
not seem to care for a few hours vaca-
ton from shop to be devoted to talk
ing shop" They wanted entertain
ment, change, variety, and the after
noon and evening lectures in the parior
did not give these. and 1t is not surpris-
ing that the experiment failed.
Now. If the Wilmette women, whose
good intention IS to be commended, had
arranged to give a free vaudeville on
Thursday and a genuine country dance
on Saturday night it might have met
with more success. Human nature is
much the same in the kitchen as in

The Guinea Pig That Went Wrong.

At the recent meeting OF Partisan
temperance society three guinea pigs
were inoculated with various forms Of
alcohol and one with nice pure water
and then put away till the end Of the
meeting, when the lecturer brought
them out again triumphantly TO show
the shocking results of alcohol. Most
unfortunately, however, says the Liv-
erpool Post. the only i'll guinea pig was
the teetotal one, and the moral was
simply shocking.

His Resignation the Outcome
ofSerious Entanglements.
UNREST In VENEZUELA
Paris Dispatch Says His Acticn is Not
Mere FormaIity-Activityo of Revo-
Iutionary Bands Cause AIarm-May
Foreshadow General Change.

Paris, March 23.-An official dis
patch has been received here from
Caracas giving the causes, which led
up to President Castro's resignation.
1t shows that his action was not a
mere formality as some dispatches
have indicated, but was the outgrowth
of the serious conditions caused by re.
cent International entanglements.
Trouble With Germany.
The dispatch says that the main
cause of the presidents resignation
was the troubles with Germany, which,
besides being difficult of solution, have
caused widespread alarm. The stu
alton it is added has been further COM
plicated by the activity of the revolu-
tionary bands.
Is Much Unrest.
The dispatch clearly conveys the
impression that the resignation is in
dicative of the present condition OF un-
r and instability in Venezuela
probably foreshadowing general
change in the government.

Sexton Says Miners May Not
Like Parts of Finding.
COMMENTS ON DECISION
Editor of United Mine Workers. Jour-
nal Gives Opinion on Result of Strike
Commissions Work-Pleased With
Removal of Coal and Iron Police.

indianapolis, Ind, March 23.-Rec-
ognizing that there were awards in
favor OF both operators and miners of
the anthracite field, S. M. Sexton, edi-
tor Of the United Mine Workers Jour
nal says, in commenting on the find
ings of the arbitration commission:
There are parts of the decision that
will probably not suit the miners. The
ten per cent increase can be taken, l
suppose, as being in favor of the min
ers, though percentages are great de-
lusions
One of the greatest points in favor
OF the miner is the recommendation
for the withdrawal of the coal and iron
police, who are responsible for most
OF the trouble that occurred in the
mining regions. The lessening of the
hours is a great point in favor of the
miners The ruling against child la
Dor the requirement that companies
pay the laborers of contract miners.
the section in which the commission
takes grounds against a compulsory
arbitration, the employment of check
Welghmen and the companies collec-
tons for their pay and distribution
and regulation of cars are favorable to
The miners
The provision for the creation of a
conclllatlon board to settle points of
disagreement will generally meet with
the miners hearty approval Though
the commission does not require the
operators to recognize the miners or
ganiZation, in the organization of this
board OF conciliation the recognition of
the organization is assured. The com.
mission also suggests the recognition
of the organization in several places.
The decision itself recognizes the or.
ganization. These points at least are
In favor of the Miners
Mr.. Sexton said that there would be
a most radical dissension from the re-
port of the committee to the effect that
the social conditions were good. He
continued:
There is at least one point in the
decision that is in favor of the opera.
tors, and that is the sliding scale based
upon the markets between Perth Am.
boy and Edgewater. By the abridge.
ment of the finding that | have, this
will figure only half mill increase on
every five cents and not one per cent
additional on the ten per cent increase
making eleven per cent. BY the de-
cision it seems that the operators may
combine to curtail the production OF
coal, but the miners cannot without the
consent of the operators"
