HARVARD VS.. DARTMOUTH
Harvard Line-Up Uncertain Hanover
Boys Not Taking Much.

Boston, Nov. with the expert
menting that has beeirNgoing on all the
week on Soldiers Field the lineup that
Harvard will present against Dartmouth
on Saturday seems a matter of c0nsid-
cradle doubt Several Of the frst-string
players who went into the Pennsylvania
game last Saturday have not been in
the scrimmage at all this week, and
while some have been out running
through signals, others have not got in-
to their togs since that memorable con-
test. The ends are still problems.
The coaches have decided, evidently,
that Il is policy to leave the best of
the substitutes on the sidelines, while
the varsity il playing weak second
eleven, for again yesterday the leading
substitutes were lined up against the
first string men and neither side could
score.

HistOry OF Child Slavery.

1t was not until 1919 that factory
work for children under nine was pro-
hibited or that children between nine
and sixteen were not allowed to work
more than twelve hours a day. and it
was not until 1902 that the law requir-
ed an apprentice to be provided with
two suits of clothing, one of which was
to be new each year. Notwithstanding
this partial protection, when Mrs. Troll
lope wrote the Factory Boy" in 1910
1t was illustrated by pictures of rag
ged and emaciated children which
would now be regarded only as gross
exaggerations of the truth, but which
then produced no adverse comment
and were perhaps as influential in re-
forming the abuses they displayed as
was Uncle Toms Cabin" in calling
attention to the evils Of slavery.-New

There are not many men wht

not have to worry about the cost OF
their luncheon, but we have to keeI
them In stock. When they are called
for, it Is usually by n couple of old
chums who are lupching together after
long parting who are feeling good
and who want Il heavy smoke after q
liberal meal. AS matter of fact
most men think they are burning mon.
ey when they pay 81 for cigar. Sixty
cents for one cigar and from that
down to three for 30 cents is consid.
cred about the right thing. We sell u
good many cigars at 30 cents each @,
three for 81. In fact. they are the
standard thing in high priced cigars.
Occasionally customer will buy ,
box of two dollar cigars or even mo-.
expensive than that for birthda.

story Is told of Cherokee woman
who married six times and never got
out of the animal line. When she was
girl she was known as Miss Mollie
Panther. She married an Indian NAM
cd Coon, and when that gentleman
was transferred to the happy hunting
ground she soon became Mrs Fox.
The Fox did not last always, and when
he entered the last chase the widow
married mild placid man named
Mule, who never had any kick coming
till he harnessed up to draw his load
across the great divide. After period
of mourning the widow again entered
the realms of matrimonial bliss and
became Mrs. Wolf, and when his scalp
went to the Great Father, along with
his corporeal remains, she became the
wife of man named Tiger, and when

Some Sunerstitions.

To break mirror to many persons
indicates the death of the person who
last looked into the mirror or some Sc
rious injury to that person. The saw
age tribes of nearly every country be-
lieved that striking either the image or
the shadow of any person meant an in
jury to that person. They believed
that the image or the shadow repre-
sented the spirit Of a person, and many
are the tales told of magicians who in
fiicted the injuries on persons they In
fiicted on their images, To drop stone
into water where the image of per
son was reflected meant death or some
dire disaster.
