INDIAN AS. FOOTBALL PLAYER.
Ts Fond of the Game and Is Unsur-
 passed i'm Running and Tack1fmG.

AS matter of prosaic fact, these hard working and well-behaved wards of the nation at Carlisle have been from the start models of disciplined and educated conduct on the football field as well as off, and only their shocks of black hair and their swarthy faces mark them as unusual or odd when they line up against the 'spalefaces," says writer in the Illustrated Sporting News
 These lads are intensely fond of foot ball and they have left in them an in- herited indifference to ruts and tough ness of fiber that are their strongest qualities when added to swiftness and agility of movement have seen them play through a hard game, without one call for time out" because of injury, and nearly avery one who has seen them play must have noticed the fierce ness of their tackling and their fashion of breaking out of a scrimmage on the rebound like so many rubber balls. In running, tackling, and aggressive line breaking the Indians are unsurpassed.
 Their weakness is an argument Ill favor of the claim that football is 9 question of the trained mind as much as the powerful body. It is mental alertness and adaptability that the Car lisle players find themselves lacking when they meet the first-class teams. To analyze and meet the unexpected, and to solve the problems of scien- tific attack and defense of a style to which they are not accustomed puzzles the slower and less effectively trained mind of the Indian, and he cannot make as quick a change of mental base as the white youth. This is to be expected, and the astonishing feature of it is that the Indian player is able to make the, show ing he does. He comes to Carlisle from the reservation little savage and in perhaps half dozen years he is fash toned into the clean, alert, self-respect- ing young man who delights those who { know good football. played with ardor, yet with self-control and intelligence of high order. While his opponents shout and rave in moments of great stress, he plays the game in silence, without show of c-,1otion, whether he wins or loses-the pc of the true sportsman He is a yindication both of the wholesome training of football in the development of young manhood and of the magnificent work accomplished by the policy and life work of Col. Pratt at Carlisle.

money at gaming overstep the limits of reason. Not everything that is law ful is expedient. And as employers are coming more and more to look upon gambling as & bar to employment, the wise emp1oye will shun the bookmaker, the gaming table and certain so-called speculative ventures as he shuns al cohol and the nerve destroying drug. Were it not for the clerk, the salesman, the mechanic, etc, who gamble, most of the race tracks and gaming rooms which now cause untold misery and no little crime would cease to exist Chicago Post.
 There is altogether too much politics in municipal affairs. There isn't & reason to be found in a years search why the distinctions of republican and democrat should obtain in a city cleo ton. Yet we do maintain party organ iZations and use them, to the evident detriment of our city government. Pos sibIy Lowell will wake up to this some day and drop it; but it is a discourag- ingly long time coming. The result is that while the voters are fairly 1nde- pendent in their choice. they are still swayed to a certain extent by party feeling, which has no proper place whatever in the matter. We will venz ture one prediction right here, and that is that so long as we adhere to the present political method of making nominations, we shall have city coun- cils of which no right minded man can feel honestly and thoroughly proud. In other words. that we shall go on in the same old rut just AS long as we insist on the present foolish view of munich pal elections. Citizen.

INVENTORS AND NEWSPAPERS.

Mechanical composition has had a marked effect on newspaper making. The New York Herald, for example. has no less than ffty-six linotype ma chimes, doing the work of hundreds of competitors in far less time and with a new dress of type each time. The daily press has seized with avidfty on these improvements, and has thus worked a revolution in the printing trade, causing 8 vast increase in the number of printed pages. and instead of twenty four pages in 1890. we have occasionally 12O pages of "a Sunday in 1903, the departments and supplements being we'll segregated. The reading matter now presented in even one metropolitan newspaper is not only satisfying to the reader, but in amount is often far beyond his capacity to as- simulate. We get all this for cents, which reflects credit on the manage ment and the city and Sunday editors of our great dailies. Such excellent newsgatheIing and presentation is not, however, limited to New York: even Seattle, in far away Washington, does practically the same thing on re- duced scale.

Hardly a quorum Of members is left at Wash ington, and while this handful of mem- berg of the house is adjourning over three days at a time and waiting for topic of conv versation among them is the Panama situation. There is but one single note among the democratic chorus. and that is condemnation of the administration for its act against Colombia.

IN PEACE AND WAR.

The kaiser's army is served regularly
with bread and porridge made largely
from the peanut.
Col. Elijah Walker, of Somervilie,
Mass, has the distinction Of being the
only surviving field officer Of the army
of the Potomac He is one Of the oldest
veterans also.
The new Belgian military system, es-
tablished on the basis of voluntary con-
scription, has already proved a failure.
Notwithstanding the active efforts OF
the enlistment committee, but few vol
unteers have come forward during the
last year.
Cutlasses are to be allowed no longer
in the French navy. In ordering those
in the service to be sent ashore the min
lister of the marine explains that naval
commanders had advised him that there
is no need for these weapons, which
formerly were used for boarding pur-
poses.
A German service review recently took
a sort of postcard census Of the admi-
rails and leading engineers Of every naval
power in the world, including Japan.
BY a largely preponderant vote 1t was
agreed that for general all-around ex-
cellence the Italian battleship Vittorio
Emanuels is the finest in the world.

TOBACCO AND IT'S USERS.

The origin of the word tobacco" IN
no. surely known, thugh the diction-
aries give various explanations.
Sir William Harcourt was once
confidant OF Tennyson's upon the sub
ject of smoking, the poet confessing to
love for the after-breakfast pipe
above ali else. Sir William Immediate
ly recalled one of Tennyson's own
poems, and adioitly parodied it: "The
early pipe of half-awakened bards"
(birds). This was coming too near
home to be pleasant, and the touchy
temper of the laureate resented tho
pleasantly.
Gladstone hated tobacco in every
form, ard while premier of England
said once reproachfully to close per-
sonal friend, you have been smoking
this morning." The reply was. Il have
been sitting for half an hour in the
room of Sir William Harcourt, who Is
q great smoker" Mr.. Gladstone said,
with surprise, II never knew he
smoked. He must be always very care
full in changing his clothes before he
comes up to me-" Harcourt being q
member OF the Gladstone cabinet.
1t used to be the privilege of Aus
trials representative, at any confer
ence of representatives of the German
states, to smoke, the others refrain
ing. This was supposed TO be an ac-
acknowledgement Of Austria's supremacy.
At the first conference that Bismarck
attended as Prussia's representative he
began to puff smoke across the con-
ference table as soon as the Austrian
diplomat lit up. That set everybody
present to smoking on equal terms and
Austria's supremacy got blow.

you for little thing like that"
Don't try" said Sidney, laughing
heartily. 81 am glad you are not in

'Like fool, I did not take your
advice and dive in time" said Mr..
Kent. Il thought the raft would
ride that wave, and so / took q
chance. 1t tipped squarely over

told. In my time, / have helped per-
sons out of the water, and have not
forgotten the rules. The next wave
would have fixed me. / could not
get my breath, and was losing my
strength"
They soon were on shore; removed
their garments, wrung them out, and
remained in the shade of tree until
their clothing was dried sufficiently
to wear. Mr.. Kent would listen to
no proposition involving an imme-
date return to the bungalow, and
stoutly declared he was as well as
ever. After an hours rest they pro-
ceeded to climb the slope of the rock
which formed the north portal of the
gateway. 1t was a long, hard strug-
gle over the rocks and through brush
and briars. But they kept on and
at last stood on the summit OF the
crag, 400 feet above the ocean.
"Look at that" exclaimed Sidney.
He pointed in the direction where
there was a cleft in the ridge of hills
to the northwest. There showed the
faint outlines of a distant giant
mountain peak; a pyramid whose top
was white with eternal snow.
"See that mountain peak!" he ex-
claimed. Mr.. Kent's eyes were not
so good as 'Sidney's, but he soon
made out the outlines of a mountain,
"That peak is about $50 miles
from here" said Sidney in great joy

of his eyes and looked for Mr.. Kent
He was not in sight!
Sidney raised himself out of the
water as high as possible and
searched the foam-fecked water. The
succeeding wave swept over him
Like all good swimmers, he kept his
eyes open when under water. To the
right he saw the dark outlines OF
some dark object, and struck out for
it.
As Sidney came to the surface the
second time, he saw Mr.. Kent only
few yards away. He was conscious
and was struggling desperately but
wildly to keep aaoat. In a moment
Sidney was by his side. The next
wave did not break and both had a
breathing spell.

Mr.. Kent did not for a moment
lose his nerve or his self-control.
He did as Sidney directed, grasp
ing his shirt with firm hold
and using his right hand to aid in
swimming. Three times they went
below in the boiling surf, but they
made slow yet steady progress to-
wards the inlet. Mr.. Kent did not
reply in answer to Sidney's reas-
surfing words, but devoted all his
energies to keeping above water.
At last they passed the danger
point, and reached the quiet waters,
where the shattered surges rolled
with gentle swell. Mr.. Kent
glanced back and released his hold

aboard the raft. He helped Mr.. Kent

was again safe on the raft.

of his companion and shook it ear

SOMETHING GOLD cAMNorsuY

There In something far better than
wealth,
Which men strive for and hoard till
they die;
For the life that is blessed with good
health
Wears crown that no riches can buy;
And the mind of contentment and case.
Neither harassed by trouble nor care.
Has a rest In its haven of peace.
All unknown to the proud millionaire.
There is that which the world with its
gold.
With It's grandeur. and glory and might.
Is unable to give or withhold.
For It's pains do Its pleasures all blight.
The good heart that Is filled with pure
And that feels for another's deep woe.
Has the source of its JOY from above.
A fount that never ceases to flow.
Better than wealth is the mind that
And delights in It's search for truth;
That all the wide range OF knowledge
explores.
AS a help and example to youth.
The mines that yield us jewels most rare
Are devoid of a gem the most pure.
And virtue set in her graccs all fair.
Is jewel alone to endure.
There Is something far better than gold.
That will rival the most precious stone.
A conscience correct Is Of value untold.
A compass that will guide to the throne,
If we list to its dictates of right.
We can face the unknown without fear;
And the angel of death. In his might.
WIN cause not a sigh nor tear.

a bar over which the long swell OF

Il am not afraid" said Mr.. Kent,
stoutly.
"Kll right. We will leave our guns
and shoes ashore" suggested Sidney.
+'Our shirts and trousers are no more
inculnbrance than a bathing suit"
They stripped and padded the raft
boldly out to the bar. The nearer
they approached the higher did the
combers appear. A mass of green
water would rise from the sea; its
upper edge frayed with line of
light; the top-heavy mass would
poise for an instant and then fall
in graceful curve, breaking into
spouting masses of foam. The roar
of these falling tons of water was in
their ears, but they pushed steadily
on. A giant wave dashed its strength
out in n watery roar so near them
that the spindrift was in their eyes
and the salt on their lips.
"Now is the chance!" shouted Sid
ncy. "Hard Row hard!"
They pushed on their crude pad
dies with all their strength. One
hundred yards away the sea was an
undulating plain of smooth rollers.
Could they reach it? The next wave
rose before them. The forward end
of the raft tilted back until it was
nearly upright. Five feet in their
rear the swell broke and churned the
water in fury.
"Hurrahi" shouted Sidney. "0nce
more and we are all right" AS he
spoke a mountain of water welled
up from the ocean. Sidney gave 1t
one glance. He knew the moods OF
the sea too well to make any mistake
about that wave. Fifty feet away

edge of the comber broke into daz-

MIR. Kent hesitated for a moment
but Sidney dived straight into the
breaker. For few seconds, which
seemed minutes. his ears were filled
with the crash of waters. The under
tow pulled him down as If he were
a straw. 1t seemed as if the weight
of tons was holding his down; but
with a Iusty stroke he came to the
surface. He shook the water out
