versts, but the present lines of defense must be considered permanent in view of the strong Notifications constructed. The Japanese positions at several points are only 800 paees distant from ours, and must be considered to be definitely occu- pied by the enemy
 The latter's Notifications are acixnowi- edged by all competent persons to be skilfully constructed. Their trenches in many places are so eleverly concealed, as nst to be nct.t cable short distance away. the earth removed being careful ly thrown in front of the trenches. The general position causes q great tension cn both sides.
 At army headquarters no news has been received from Port Arthur, but the absence of reports during the last few days makes 1t evident that the movement of one or the other Russian armies will be dependent upon the course of events there.

without mishap began a series of rapid fire smashes at the line and were soon skirting across the ground at will. wild cheer went up from the Auburn rooters who had leen a little dismayed at the way Alabama gained ground to start on. Auburn then started a series of end plays and within minutes had the ball over the line for the first touchdown and Reynolds kicked the goal. On the second kick off Burke fumbled the ball for Ala bama and in two minutes Auburn had again sent the ball over for a touch down and a goal.
 Both teams showed remarkable ability to make gains. Auburn could not hold Alabama fo- any length of time and Ala bama was absolutely at the mercy of the Tigers when the Orange and Blue was on the offensive. Auburn got away with the plays faster than did her opponents and the mel did beautiful team work.
 Both Strong at Buckine.
 Alabama and Auburn both used the tackle back formation as well as the tandem play and neither team could eff fectually stop it. In pucking Alabama was practically the equal of Auburn but they could not gain around the end.
 Auburn's superiority was in her inter- ference and it must be said to Coach Donahues ci edit that no prettier work of this kind has ever been seen on the local gIidron. The men worked like a clock and Tuscaloosa soon found it almost im- possible to stop this avalanche of muscle and speed.
 Auburn used a double fake pass trick that was clever. Another which worked successfully and at one time sent sReyn- olds across the line with touchdown was a peculiarly delayed pass. On this play the interference went around the end, leaving one halfback standing alone. With a wide opening between guard and tackle he would dash through for gains of from twenty to thirty yards. It was

 In the second Alabama showed a re- versal of form. Twice they took the ball away from Auburn, and on the first tri- umph they started for the goal. By terrific plunges through the line, onside kicks and an occasional dash around the end they slowly went forward, urged on by delirious shouts from the Crimson and White rooters. At one time they were about to loose the ball, but a short kick to the left side of the line proved a fooler to Auburn and gained them the distance. Perkins thinking the Alabama man off, side, did not attempt to fall on the ball, but let his opponent have it. To his dis may he found that 1t was Alabama's ball. When in twenty yards of Auburns goal the umpire gave Alabama ten additional yards for an offsde play on the part of Auburn, and this put the ball in danger our proximity to the goal.
 Auburn made gallant defense, but the distance was too short They had to bow to the inevitable. With the ball with in two yards of the fatal line big Sartain, one of Alabamas guards. was pulled back and given the ball. With a vicious lunge he shot through the line and landed the precious pigskn over Auburns line It was the first score against Auburn of the season.
 Auburn quickly showed her ginger and before the rooters hardly knew 1t Rey- holds had scored another touchdown
 Auburn kicked off but soon took the ball only to lose 1t, for the second time on downs. Alabama then began an ag- gressive series of plays but the whistle sounded with the ball on Auburn's forty five yard line.
 The touchdown were made for Auburn by Streit 1; Toy 3; Reynolds l. For Alabama Sartain l. Reynolds did the kicking for Auburn and Burke did simi- lar work for Alabama.

ing that will make them capable Of
self support and of exercising the du-
ties of citizenship.
The so called outing system has
been found mosA beneficial in making
the young Indians feeA that they are
just like other Americans, en- wing the
same liberties and opportunities and
bearing the same responsibilities. b
this system the pupils are placed out
In families while still connected with
the school, the boys working in the
field and in the shop and the girls in
the dairy and the household. Every
summer about 800 or 900 pupils are
sent out to live and labor in this way.
The farmers and others with whom
they are placed generally report good
results from the association. The work
of the Indian boys is apt to refute the
popular notion that all Indians are
lazy and good for nothing. Some
times amusing experiences are report
ed. A small Dakota boy who had been
sent to work for a farmer in Pennsyl-
vania took a big tin pail and started
to milk a COW.
Are you sure you can milk? he was
asked.
"Yas, perfect sure" he said.
"Oh, | guess you can draw the milk
out, but on which side of the cow are
you going to sitT'
The aborigine responded with rigid
gravity of countenance, 81 sit on the
outside"
Although the Indian boy has a great
love of the open fields and free air, he
has a fondness for two accomplish
ments that sometimes cause him to
choose the counting room rather than
the farm. AS some among his ances-
tors were fond of writing strange SYM
bols on birch bark and carving rude
inscriptions in stone, SO today many
Indian youths have special aptitude for
drawing and penmanship and other
accomplishments that exercise the i'm
itative faculty. They are extremely
patriotic. The Indian of old time loved
and fought for his tribal totem. The
red boys and girls of today are being
taught at Carlisle to love the stars and
stripes.

a Judge.

A certain New York judge has a
habit which sometimes annoys mem
bers of the bar who appear before him,
particularly young men, of talking to
his associates on the bench while the
LAWYERS are delivering their speeches,
but however exasperated they may be
the lawyers have not, as a rule, the
boldness to complain, for they recog-
nize the power of the court. An emil
nent lawyer of New York, however,
set them an example. He was about to
make the closing speech in a highly
important case. Forty minutes had
been allotted him for the purpose. He
had scarcely uttered a dozen words
when the judge wheeled round in his
chair and began a discussion with his
associate on the bench. The lawyer
ceased speaking Immediately, folded
his arms and gazed steadily at the
Judges. A hush fell upon the court
room. The offending judge, noticing
the stiffness, turned and looked inquir-
ingly at the silent advocate.
"Your honor said the lawyer, II
have just forty minutes in which to
make my final argument. l shall not
only need every second Of that time to
do it justice, but shall also need your
undivided attention"
"And you shall have it." promptly
responded the judge, at the same time
acknowledging the justice of the re-
buke by a faint flush on his cheeks. 1t
was an exhibition of genuine courage,
but one that was more fully appre-
ciated by members of the profession
than by the others who witnessed 1t.

Christmas In Tibet.

Tibet, the home of the strangest
and least known people on the face of
the earth, is also the home of the
strangest Of Christmas customs. The
feast of Queen Winter in Tibet cor
responds with our own Christmas fes-
tival. The figure of this queen, or
goddess, is painted blue and mounted
on a camel, surrounded by a string of
human skulls. The dance celebrated
at this feast is called tsam, and the
masked figures which take part in
it would be comic If they were not
so horrible. One represents a horned
bull, another a deer, but this deer, pc
culiarly enough, has a horses head, an
ancient symbol among the Tibetans
of the messenger of death. There are
evil spirits in hordes, demons and
other bad spirits to shock the ignorant
people into blind obedience to the
lamas. One god curses another, and
every town has its local protecting di.
vinity. There are serpent gods repre-
senting the spirit of evil, but they are
fought by such protecting divinities as
Garuda, who is always represented in
lamaism with a stout body, human
arms, wings and the head of a bird

Christmas Cards.

The Christmas card as we know it
has an origin easily %traceable, and it is
doubtless at least sixty years since
the first was designed. The artist who
claimed to be its originator and who
was, at any rate, the first to see its
possibilities was W. G. I. Dobson,
r. A, who, when quite a young man,
in 1874, was prompted at Christmas to
make a little sketch symbolic Of the
seasons joys and festivities and to
send it to a friend. 1t seemed to give
great pleasure, and the next year Mr..
Dobson determined to follow up the
idea on a larger scale, and by having
his card photographed was enabled to
send copies to twenty-five or thirty
friends. The delight with which tnu,
were received was so great that Mr..
Dobson was quick to perceive that he
had found out a new pleasure for
Christmas.-New York Mail and EX-

Recognize. Them by Neckt,.,.


There is a ticket taker in one of the
Broadway theaters who occasionally
exploits his memory in a rather curl
GUS way. Generally he gives each man
who goes out between the acts a re-
turn check, but occasionally he omits
this and relies solely on his memory to
recognize those who are entitled to re-
enter the theater. A man who saw him
doing this the other night remarked
that he must have a remarkable mem
DRY for faces.

WAR CLUB VS.. HOE.
INDIAN BRAVES ARE TAUGHT AT
CARLISLE TO BE GOOD FARMERS.
They Learn tn Use the Saw and the
Plane, the Spade and the Pitchfork
Rather Than the TOmahawk and
Spear-ResuIts of Their Training.

Spear-ResuIts of Their Training.
The Indian warriors Of Carlisle, Pa,
have won renown on the football oval.
Their rush line has often carried husky
palefaces before it amid war whoops
which recalled the days when a victory
for the red man meant a scarcity of
scalps among the whites. The Carlisle
warriors fight on the gridiron with the
same courage the Indians of bygone
days showed when they took the war
path against their enemies, but no tom
ahawks are used now and no scalps
are taken.
They are not only successful ath.
letes, but they show much energy in
the use of the hoe, the ak, the hammer
and the plane. In short, the Indians at
Carlisle are not only receiving a good
education from books, but are learning
to be industrious and intelligent farm
ers, carpenters, blacksmiths, tailors
and mechanics. The records kept of
the graduates of the school show that
despite an occasional failure to profit
by the instruction received most of
those who have had a training at Car
Isle continue self supporting and do
credit to the institution as wage earn
ers. With the young women the re-
suits are equally encouraging. Besides
the education in reading, writing and
arithmetic and other elementary
branches which the girls at Carlisle re-
ceive, they are trained in cooking and
other homework, and the aim of the
institution is to make good seamstress-
es, good cooks and good housekeepers
of the girls and good farmers and me-
chanics of the boys.
Carlisle has over a thousand students,
and it has trained over 5000 young
red men and women since its establish
ment in 1879. The school took its ORR
gin from the efforts of Colonel Rich
ard H. Pratt, an officer who had been
an Indian fighter on the plains of the
west, to give Indians who had been
imprisoned for resisting the govern
ment an opportunity to support them
selves and obtain education on their
