IS
NOW THE
GAME

Football now has a firm hold on the
city, and gridiron sports make the
statement that there is material in the
CITY, which. if formed into small city
league, would more than make the ex
pense of the teams.
The High school, Blars s. A. A. c.
and Company H., possibly Gonzaga, il
! formed into league would make a
great combination of elevens. 1t is
possible, however, that Gonzaga will not
have team formed until very late
in the season. The s. A. A. Cor
rather the independent team-is fully
formed. Match games between it and
the Blairs would perhaps make the
most interesting exhibitions of all.
The High school has already played
three match games. being defeated two
times on account of going out of their
class so early in the season and getting
a tie in the other.
Next Friday they go to Lewiston
(ldaho) to play the Normal school elev-
en- there. Consequently this week is
one of the most strenuous training for
the gladiators. Twice meeting defeat
they are filled with firm determine
ton to come back with the scalps of
the Clearwater men.
While the High school boys are seek

into the game under a great handicap
on account Of their lack of practice
and in the game with Davenport they
are up against team that has played
tie with Cheney and the latter's
tie game with Spokane has shown that
the Davenports can play some them
selves.
The Blairs are seeking games with
Cheney, High school and Company H.,
the latter having organized team
which appears strong as any in the Vi
cinity.
Yesterday the Blairs played a prac-
tice game with the High school and
tie resulted.
These practices will be kept up from
now on, as it strengthens both teams.
OF course the Blairs are elated at the
result of the first meeting with the
High. It's only a practice game, but
it shows Blair has the material. Much
credit is due to Coach Stone for the
excellent showing. Squads of Is or 90
men don the moleskins daily and are
hard at practice to make the team.

Elton Slang.

Every public school has its own pc
culiar customs and slang, but Elton
seems to be particularly well supplied
In this respect. At Harrow it Is or used
to be the height of cheek for boy to
turn up his trousers till he had been
three years in the school. At Elton 1t Is
just the other way, and it is part Of the
school etiquette for boy to turn up
his trousers, to keep the bottom Of his
waistcoat unbuttoned and if he has
need to use an umbrella never to roll it
up.
Some of the so called Elton slang is
common to other schools, but most of It
is only to be understood Of Etonians.
"Sock'' as a noun means food Of all
kinds; as verb it is equivalent to ITO
give" "Scug' is primarily boy who
has no colors, but it is more particular
ly applied as general term Of abuse.
"a cool'' at football is hard kick by
one of the forwards. A tug is Of
course a colleger, and ''tosh PAM is
a sort of footbatn.
Two men settled in two adjoining
western communities forty years ago
Both were lovers of trees-one loved
the hard maple, the other evergreens
We recently passed through the towns
which sprung up in these two commu
mites. The one has its cemetery anu
park filled with beautiful specimens of
white and Scotch pines, and nearly ey-
cry homestead in the city possesses
more or less of these beautiful trees.
1t might very properly be called the
evergreen city. Ten miles away the
hard maple trees which were so liber-
ally planted forty years ago now make
miles of shaded avenues and streets
and present wealth of color and tint
In the fall of the year which have not
been duplicated since the forests were
cut down. These two men have long
since passed to their reward, but have
left to posterity a magnificent legacy,

Moon Influences.
Many superstitious beliefs as to the
Influence" of the moon still remain.
In some localities it is believed to be
unlucky to be empty handed when one
first beholds the new moon, and among
the same people having silver in the

sign" If one is about entering upon
an important undertaking, he had best
defer proceedings until the moon is

How the Armada Fought.

The Spanish officers behaved with
the desperate heroism which became
the countrymen of Cortes and Santa
Cruz, and never did Spanish soldier or
seaman distinguish himself more than
on this tremendous day. There was no
flinching, though the blood was seen
streaming out of the scuppers. Priests
went up and down under the hottest
fire, crucifix in hand, confessing and
absolving the dying.
But the engagement from the first
preserved the same character which
had been seen in those which had pre-
ceded it. The Spaniards' courage was
useless to them. Their ships could not
turn or sail, their guns were crushed
by the superior strength Of the English
artillery, they were outmatched in
practical skill, and, close as the ships
were to one another, they could not
once succeed in fixing graphing iron
in an English rigging. Thus, while
their own losses were terrible, they
could inf1ict but little in return. They
had endured for five hours to be torn
to pieces by cannon shot, and that was
all.-Spanish Story of the Armada.

A Terrible Revelation

M. Sarcey was at one time very
shOrtsighted, but successful operation
made him long sighted to an extraor-
sight was not altogether an unmixed
blessing. For the first time since his
childhood he could see things at o dis
tance. His home, that he thought SO
fine, was found to be neglected and
dirty; his precious china was Clipped
and cracked; his books were soiled and
torn. But the crowning blow came
when grand luncheon was given to
celebrate the restoration Of the critics
sight. Women were invited in great
number and came in their very best.
The Coincide Franchise, the Vaudeville,
the Odeon, were represented by their
fairest ones, and the table twas sight
for the gods"-at least Sarcey would
have thought so six weeks before.
But very soon his countenance fell,
and I saw his eye wandering about in
astonishment-aye In distress. He
laughed no more and looked miserable,
After the coffee he made a sign to me,
and I followed him upstairs. believing
him to have been disturbed by the
thought of some work which ought to
be done at once. But he threw himself
heavily on the sofa, which groaned as
IL sharing its masters despair, and ex-
claimed piteously: "Good heavens!
Why, they are all frights! They are all
dyed, painted, wrinkled, scraggyl oh,
mes bellies aimes, what has become Of
them?"

over the tumult. The men stopped
where they were. What they saw held
them to the spot.
With one graceful, nonchalant swing
the Kid dropped from the window sill.
A moment later he had reached out a
long strong arm and grasped the fated
lamp about the handle; then, lifting it
high above his head, he flung it far out
through the open window.
There was deafening crash, a mo-
mentary yellow blaze. and all that re-

shattered glass and china, bit of
