T was much anusedsthe other day. said the man with the raveled cigar, "by a conversation that took place in certain little cafe. downtown be- tween fastidious patron and the waiter assigned to the task of serving him.
 "As was sitting near the fastidious patron could not fail to overhear his orders, the exactftude of which were most edifying. saw that the waiter had, as I had, too, immediately sized up the man. He had a nasty, irritating little cough, and he slipped ice water while giving his order. The converse ton ran about this way:
 Bring me pot of coffee,' said the f1nicky customer, a pot, mind you, not cup of coffee, but pot of 1t. And it must be hot--hot and strong. Don't forget that. Also tenderloin steak, rare. Please remember that, waiter. And don't have any fat on it. can't bear the sight of fat in the morning.
 "eVery well, sir,' said the waiter po- iitely: no fat
 And bring me some dry toast; hot, remember-hott toast-and have it,made of stale bread. And see that it is toasted outside and not soggy within. hate soggy toast Please bear that in rnind.'
 Very good, sir,' replied the waiter; mot soggy within
 Also some sliced tomatoes,' contin- ued the man. And take the ice from them and drain them. want my to- matoes dry; understand, dry, not wet! Don't forgetv
 "*Yes, sir responded the waiter; sto- matoes must be dry
 And now let's see, let's see. Oh, yes. Bring me some fried eggs. Be sure that they are perfectly fresh-- perfectly fresh. And I desire them fried on one side only. You won't for get thatv
 tOh, no, sir,' calculated, the waiter; 'I'il not forget. And which side, sir ? ?" New York Times.

the Wesleyan team, gathered in the ball on Harvard's twenty-yard line after Nesrnith had fumbled kogers's kick, and ran for touchdown. Ne smith, who made the tumble, was sent to the side lines at once for his of fense. Harvard's playing yesterday was much better than 1t has been for two weeks, but Wesleyan's score re- suited from the same weakness that lost the Amherst game. Harvard has not set of competent substitutes to replace the first string men. Captain Marshall was in the game for the first time in two weeks, and his presence was. very evident. He got more life. dash and fight into the team and all worked better together. Nichols played at left halfback until he was taken out becGssse of an injury to his ankle. The Harvard line helped the backs considerably. dragging the run ners along. The Wesleyan team, 1t is said. was weaker on Soldiers field than at Yale field, as the faculty has taken several men off the team

A Teatheraess Broaler.

Charles Robinson of Philiipsburg, near Morristown, N. J., has the latest thing in the way of freaks. His freak is young bullet about six months old without a sign of feathers or hair on its body, says the New York Times. The chickens skin is smooth and vel vety to the touch and is dark yellow in color. Aside from the fact that the chicken has no feathers it is otherwise normal. Mr. Robinson says he is now considering the advisability of breed ing from this chick. His idea is that he may be able to produce featherless broilers, which would have more ready sale than the other kind, upon which the good housewives spend hours in the picking Of pin feathers.

 Wesleyan Princeton Doing Better

 A black eye for Old Eli, the pride of Johnny Harvard again hurt, the war riors of Old Nassau held down to small score, and a single touchdown for Columbia were occurrences that helped make yesterdays football games eventful. Columbia's opponent was Swarthmore, while Holy Cross met Yale. Yale won easily enough, but Holy Gross made 10 points, Yale finding some sltght consolatton in the fact that her goal line was not crossed, the goals being kicked from the field Wesleyan, which Yale defeahed 33 to o, and which Columbia, beat 10 to 0, scored a touchdown on Harvard and held the latter to three touchdowns. PrinceGon's score agadTst Lehigh was smaller by points than PennsylvaI1- ia's. Again, Pennsylvania total against Gettysburg was larger than Princeton's 6S against the same team last Saturday.

At Princeton,

FFmceton, Oct 15.-Princeton detsat. eu Lenlgh yesterday afternoon by a score Of 12 to o. For the most hart tne Tigers offensive work was strong bur at critical point, when they had the ball on Lehigh's fiye-yard line tnelr strength failed them and they lost the ball on downs. Except for this instance, the Orange and Black experienced but little difficulty in ploughing through Lehigh's line for good gains. End runs were used much more yesterday than in previous games and were effective for the most part. For the second time this season Princeton was penalized twenty wards for> sending the quarterback forward with the ball without first running five yards to the side
 In the second half De Witt Kicked oT, and when the ball was recovered the Tigers advanced it to the fiye-vard line, and it was there lost on downs. The Tigers soon recovered the ball and McClave was sent over for a touch down. Vetterlein kicked goal Prince ton lost the ball on tumble soon after the k1ck-or and Lehigh carried it out side at Princeton's fifteen-yard line. A Lehigh player, picking up the ball. started to walk in the required fifteen yards, as the Princeton players sup posed, but instead he kicked the ball forward to another Lehigh player, who ran over the goal line with it for touchdown. A discussion lasting thir- ty-five minutes followed. but Referee Young decided that the ball must be brought back and put in play again.

At New Haven.

New Haven, Cct 1S---DTOoS or woe were poured into ale's cup yesterday afternoon when Holy Cross secured two goals from the 6eld, thereby nak ing the first score against Yale thts season and wjptng away all possibility of clean slate for the Blue. The final score was: Yale 36, Holy Cross 10. Prestton's flrnbling was directly responsible for Holy Cross getting her chance to score. The visitors made the best of their opportunity. Each time they got as near the Yale goal as possible and directly dn front of it. Under perfect conditions, Reed drop ped two placement kicks between the goal posts. More than ever before tfts season, Yale's weakness at center was noticeable. Bloonner was not in the game, becatlse Of d bad stomach, and Batchelder took hds place Through Batchelder, Roraback and Morton Holy Cross sent her fulIback, Stank- ard. First downs for the visitors came with discouraging frequency They never could have crossed Yale's goal line on straight plunges, but their gains were the best made against Yale this fadl The first half gave the vis- ptors fifteen yards on plunges, and i'm the second they scored over thirty. twenty of which were made at one clfp by Stankard, who went through Batch elder. Shevlin was tuied successfully at rushing the ball. His gains were consistent and he proved a hard man to tackle. Flanders was substt1ted TOT Morton in the second half and played Detber than hds predecessor. henney was taken out with a bad ankle and Andrews, a freshman, took his pIace
