Still Is In Rebellion.

Il did not surrender" said E. F.
Bosyc on being examined for member
ship in the r. A. Smith camp of Con-
federate veterans at Macon. Ga. This
reply called for an explanation. be-
cause it is customary for a candidate
for membership. to tell where he en-
listed and how he was dismissed from
the Confederate service before he can
become a member of a camp. Mr..
Bosye explained that he was one of
the 1000 men of the Western army
who decided that they would go to
Mexico with their commander. Gen.
Shelby, rather than submit to the hui
initiation of a surrender. The COM
mand marched over the line. where
they disbanded and came home. The
detachment thought they might get
shelter from the Mexicans and estab-
lish q new Confederacy. but the bull
fighters were too much in awe of the
United States. 1t is estimated that
there are only about fifty or sixty of
the Shelby command left. Mr.. Bosye
belonged to company H. Fifth Mis-

The Fence.Rail Habit.

"The fence-rail habit" said the SER
geant. grew on a man. There was ho
more exhilarating work than breaking
up seasoned cedar rail. A man who
did it once wanted to do it again, and
after doing 1t again he could split q
cedar rail into coarse or fine splinters
by the way he struck it on the hard
ground or a log. had a comrade
who had q record of breaking up 500
rails, and he reasoned that over 5,OOO,-
600 cedar, walnut and oak rails in the
south were burned by soldiers. and
that this wholesale destruction gave
as much impetus to the barbed wire
business as the settling up of the
prairie states.
He located after the war in Ne
braska, but got SO lonesome with no
fence rails in sight that he returned
to Ohio, and moved from there when
the people began to replace the old
rail fences with beard and wire fences.
A year ago he came to Chicago and I
took him out to Fort Sheridan, and in
cidentally called his attention to the
fine grade of the wire fence inclosing
the rcseTvation. He was furious, and
said if tie government really wanted
irst cics". experienced soldiers it
ought to build at every fort and camp
n Fashioned rail fence, and let the
boys steal and burn the rails. as a re-
"ard for close attention to duty.

The TalleSt People.

In a comparative table of stature, ar
ranged according to nationaitcs, the
United States Indian stands higher than
any other race of the world, though the
Patagonian runs him very close. The
white citizen comes next. The United
States negro ranks fourteenth in the
scale, and of all the countries of the
world considered, the Portuguese are
found TO be the shortest. 1t has always
been provcrhlal among ANTAGONISTS that
blond nations are greater than thelr
darker ncighbors. This is due to the
geological position of the blond races
They are characteristic of the North, and
on account of the lower degree of tenn
pcra,urc are induced to take more eXcr-
else. which throws them more in the
open air. At the top of the list of coun,
tries, arranged in order of stature, the
first seven after the United States white
men are Norway, Scotland, British
America, Sweden, Ireland, Denmark ant
Holland, all Northern nations.

Imported Precious Stones.

The value of jewels and precious
stones imported into the United States
is often said to be the best barometer
of the country's prosperity. If this be
admitted one must acknowledge that the
fiscal year which ended with the first
half of 1908 was the most prosperous in
the history of the country, for the value
of the precious stones imported during
that period was far in excess of any
thing previously recorded. According to
the compilation of the government Of
fcals which has just been completed.
diamonds and other precious stones OF
value exceeding thirty million dollars
were brought into the United States be-
tween June 80, 1902, and June 80, 1908,
and even this enormous total is prob
ably below the actual value, for figures
are taken from the invoices of the I'M
portcrs, who arc not likely to overvalue
packages on which they must pay high
import duty.

PROUD OF lis PROTEGES
COACH BREWER SAYS sHORTRIDGE
WILL DEFEAT M. It. HI. s.
Blue and whitel Eleven Showed >Its
Wonderful gam work in the
Game win Louisville.

II am very prousi of my boys and, Of
course, believe they.w win the game with
Training School on Thanksgiving day. The
boys are all in EXCELLENT condition and we
expect to arrange Another game to give the
team good practice before we meet Train
ing School, Suchs was the statement of
Coach Brewer, of 1.-THE Shortridge team,
after the game with Louisville Male High
School at washington Park Saturday aft
ernoon.
Coach Brewer has just cause to feel proud
of his proteges, fol-, the Shortridge team is
playing the best article of high school foot
ball ever seen in this city. Individually and
collectively ShortrSlge played all around
Louisville, and frosn beginning to end the
blue and white teaIh played the game. The
interference was ntarly perfect, while the
offensive plays including the tricks that
were used to bafHs the visiting eleven,
proved good groun,i gamers. The defense
was superb, the mfn playing low and only
once did the Louisville team make a first
down by straight l.ae bucks.
The work of Shortridge demonstrated that
the blue and whitG will be favorite in the
game with Training School on Thanksgiv-
ing day. Captain dark, of Shortridge, has
no fear Of losing Che game and says 1t is
the desire of Shorttdge to make this years
score more decisive than last year, when
shortridge won 12i to o. Training School
will be lighter whtn the two high schools
meets but the Souah Side eleven will have
another disadvantage-it Is not playing as
good an article of football as its rivals.
More interest is being taken in the game
this year than evet before and the contest
should be very interesting.
only one game of any consequence was
PLAYED Saturday and that was the contest
between Harvard and Pennsylvania. Har-
ward won and reIiorts of the game state
that the score should have been more de-
cisive. The annual report that Harvard
and Pennsylvania would sever their ath-
letic relations we're sent out again this
wear. but il is pretty safe to say that the
two big. universities will again meet in
athletic events next year.

on the home field. 1t is true that many
thousands of graduates and others would
pay even s. a seat to see these great con-
tests, but that is no reason why the under
graduate should be compelled to stand and
deliver for the privilege of seeing his fell
low-students engage in branch of sport
which is supposed to be organized and
maintained for their benefit.
When it comes to making the players and
coaches pay the exorbitant prices for their
ticket the fiscal system suggests too much
the operation of a "get-rich-quick'' syndi-
cate. If college sports cannot be carried on
without such heaping treasures for their
expenses it is time to overhaul the systems
and see where reductions can be made. If
the admission fee to a reserved seat for I'M
dergraduates were made ST. and the rate for
the rest of the patronage maintained at it's
present altitude, a beginning would be
made in the right direction.
