Were going to dig potato pits" they
replied.
Shifty didn't like this development.
1t seemed to him that these prospective
potato pits were much too near the
buried treasure. He asked for the
owner of the field and found in him
old Amadee Pierson, who had bought
one of his watches the day before for
$40.
1--WE just been looking for you to pay
you back that $19," began Shifty SOL
emnly. It's been troubling my mind"
ooh, that's all right" replied Amadee.
"I'm not kicking. That was business
and I got valuable experience. Any
thing I can do for you:"
"Why, yes" answered Shifty. "The
circus people want to rent field to put
some old circus wagons and things on.
I'll give you $50 for years use Of this

Amadee scratched his head with q
puzzled motion.
Seems kinder funny they didn't
come themselves" he remarked. Still,
it's none Of my business. I was just
going to put some improvements on
this lot and Id figured on making quite
some money out Of it. III let you have
the field for six months for $3.50 and
not cent less. And I'd want tie cash in

Thatnight, in another pouring shower,
Shifty Simmons dug up the precious

tool house and opened it carefully un-
der the Pickering glim Of little Ian

out of the satchel and read:
"My boy Eph limped like the bank

farmer is quick to learn and it's bad
business to cheat him out of $40.

LOWERS SCHOOL STANDARD
Universities Too Eager In Their Search for
Football Players.

Decentralization of athletics in the
high schools, with consequent detri-
ment TO the educational standing of
pupils. is the result of certain univer-
stiles seeking youths who may be sue
cessful in the football field, accord
ing to Superintendent Cooley and
President Harris, of the board Of ed
ucation, of Chicago.
Protests have been made by Mr..
Cooley to President James, of North
western university. and President
Harper, of the University of Chicago,
against the selection of husky youths
in the high schools who may make
good football players.
The rules of the high schools gen
orally take care of the education of
football players. and the youth who
fails TO reach the average of rs per
cent in a year cannot play in the foot
ball team, even though he may be able
to kick goal from the 40-yard line.
The universities, however. have been
picking out the athletic youths and
have given them entrance to UNIVERSE
ties. though they have not come up
to the requirements of the high
schools.
Four instances are known of in Chi
cago where school boys who failed to
get the requisite educational marks
have been accepted in college. One of
them is said to be Eckersall, who went
TO the University of Chicago, and an
other is said to be Tom Hammond. of
the Michigan team
superintendent Cooley will make a
protest at the college conference
Nov. 81, but the trouble with this CON
ference is that it will meet after the
final games Thanksgiving day. Mr..
Cooley, however, hopes to make his
protest so vigorous that it will be TAX
en- up and the practice stopped.

approximately the winters supply at
the fore part of the cold season, and
the dealers therefore take it for
granted that nearly everyone is sup
piled. As result at the end of the
winter there are a large number of
the coal bins which are being scraped
to the very corners in an effort to
keep the fire going until spring. Then
comes another trip to the coal office,
where it is usually ascertained that
anthracite coal being no more in de-
mand is no longer kept. The conse-
quence is soft coal until spring.
1t is always advisable to be in pre-

end be properly fortified with sunci-
