MICHIGAN STILL AT WORK.
Does Snappy Signal Practice in Prep
aratiOn for Chicago.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Nov. 3.-Michi-
gan has begun preparation for Chi
cago. The practice was so snappy
that Trainer Fitzpatrick who was re-
sponsibIe for the mems superb condi-
ton at Wisconsin, said: 81 was amazed
at the speed Michigan showed in sig
nal practice. The boys worked SO
heartily that we let them go after half
an hour of hard work."
There were several reasons for the
unexpected turnout. Michigan has
but two more weeks in the football
season, and it is possible to put the
eleven into final season form without
mourning the risk of staleness which
might be if Michigan had a Thanks
giving game ahead. Here this early
close of Michigans season is expected
to prove a decided advantage over Chi
cago.
Michigans men were not as free
from the bruises of Wisconsin's at
tack as they tried to make Yost be-
heve- At night after practice, in the
locker room, Captain Heston admit
ted that it would be some days before
the bruised spots wore off. Longman
and Tom Hammond were kept out of
the practice. Longman's nose is again
broken and Hammond has lost a toe
nail.

TWO OLD FOOLS.
rBv M. O,,ad1


On the day that he was forty-fve
years old Moses jackson went to the
nearest village to buy him a hoe. His
wife had asked him to drop into the
office of the Gazette and bring home
a bundle of old papers for the pantry
Sehles. He found the editor alone and
the paper about to suspend for the
want of patronage. The editor noted
the farmers wrinkled face, bent back
and discouraged look, and after some
general talk said:
Look here. Moses YOU are an old
fool and / am ditto. You are grub
bling your life out for a mere living
and am dead broke because the peo-
pie here don't appreciate brains Let s
go into partnership
They sat and talked for an hour
and the result was an article in the
next weeks Gazette that created talk
all over the county, and within a, week
had been copied all over the state.
There was a spring on the Jackson
farm which hardly any one but the
owner knew of, and it was announced
that the waters of this spring were a
sure cure for all kinds of skin dis
eases. The editor gave half a dozen
false names and told q dozen lies
in the article, but people with skin
diseases did not stop to question his
veracity.
The paper had been off the press
only day when they began to drive
up to the Jackson farm. They wanted
that water in bottles, jugs, kegs and
barrels, and the old farmer was on
hand to sell it at so much per gallon.
Inside of a month he was shipping
spring water to points 400 miles away.
While he was busy at the spring his
wife was busy at the house. Scores
and scores of people were willing to
pay fifty cents for a dinner, and be-
fore the rush was over scores and
scores of others paid fifty cents apiece
for the privilege of sleeping on clean
straw in the barn.
The analysis of the spring water
pricked the bubble at last, and people
ceased to come or send in orders.
Moses went down to see the editor
and figure with him. AS they figured
they chuckled. When theyhad reached
the end of it, the editor said:
Moses, our firm has taken in 50, 900
in cash. Figure out the expense and
we divide $1,000. You still have your
farm left, and L may tell you that the
Gazette has put on $50 new subscrib-
ers and has entered upon a boom with
big B. Go home and hoe corn and
say nothing In about two weeks our
trap will be ready again.
