FOOTBALLERS IN
PRACTICE WORK
v. NJ. c a. SQUAD WERE Loos-
ENINo UP THEIR RUSTY
JOINTS.
WEATHER WARM FOR HARD WORK
Challenges Have Been Sent Out to
Number OF lnstitutions-After
Weather is Cooler Other
Teams viii Organize.

The Y. NJ. G. A. football squad was
out for preliminary practice yester
day afternoon, on the vacant lot for
mcrly occupied by the tabernacle on
Pearl street No regular teams have
been organized as yet, because II
Is stlll too warm to permit hard prac'
Itice or regular play. The indicationn,
however, are for pretty good team.
The squad is composed of about
twenty husky youths who are seeking
honor on the gridiron and from these
il is expected eleven good men can
be chosen. The team is being coach
ed by Mr.. A. " BOurquo, director OF
physical training in the local Y. NJ.
&. A.
Challenges Sent Out.
Mr.. Fred Lege has been selected
manager of the team and Le has
already sent out challenges to a num-
Der of institutions that will have
teams in the field this fall. He has
received no replies as yet and the To-
cal elevens schedule has consequent
" not been made up. Ii ise expected
il will be completed within couple
Of weeks. Among the institutions
challenged are Tulane, Sewanee and
ST. Edwards. All of the Y. NJ. G. A. S
in this section that have teams will
be challengedd

H., i,,tn
the football squad here. The young
men have taken hold of the idea
with vim and from now on will turn
out every afternoon for practice.
Mr.. Bourque, the coach, is recognized
as one of the best football men in
this section. He got his athletic eX
perience in Chicago, where he has
played on and against practically
every one of the star teams, including
| the Chicago Bankers, who Walter
Camp once said were probably the
best aggregation in the United
! States. For the present the practice
will consist of falling on the ball
running, signals, tacklin gand forming
interference without opposition. AS
the weather gets cooler two regular
teams will be organized and will line
lup against each other for regular
practice every afternoon.
! Basket Ball Teams.
Within the next few weeks the Y
NJ. C. A. will also have two or three
good basket ball teams in the field
Basket ball will be played out OF
doors as long as the weather viii
permit. Three or four teams have
already been organized and from
these five good men will be chosen
to represent the Y. NJ G. A. in con
tests with other teams in this vicin
Iity. with which games will be ar
ranged. A baseball team has also
been organized but it is doubtful il
much is done on the diamond this
fall. In tie spring considerable atten
ton will be given to this sport.

More Questions.

There is considerable red tape about
the granting Of hunters licenses and
the applicant must answer large
numb Der of questions. 1t has been
suggeeted by an exchange that the
law amended to include the following:
''Do you smoke Peerless?"
care you addicted to strong drink
when in the woods?"
.'Cau you distinguish the difference
between red or blue hunting jacket
and deer?"
"tiave you ever had St. Vitas dance
or would the falling of leaf cause
you to fire your gum"
Gould you hit the power house
with gattling gun?"
"Will you be willing to care for all
tie orphans and widows you may
make?n
Have you ever seen deer except
ih natural history?"
"How many times have you had
the buck fever?"
"Do you get lost when in the woods
flghten your friends and bother
searching parties, who want to hunt
something else?''

LoAe Homesteader at Rummels Kills
az5o Pouad Buck.

L. F. Hayward a homesteader at
Rummels, opened the season Friday
by bagging large buck weighing 250
pounds. The deer was killed in a
dense thicket ABOUT II miles from his
shack. and being alone he was COM
PEELED to shoulder his game and carry
it by easy stages to his humble cabin.
This is not Mr.. Hayward's first exper-
fence in deer hunting, but it is doubt
less whether he has ever taken such
long shot before in such dense
thicket before with the fine success
that he had with this deer, altho be is
considered one of the finest running
shooters in this vicinity. E. F. all
dressed in his buckskin suit and with
his trusty rifle, started out to bring
in a deer, but wanted big one, and
when large buck with enormous
antIers appeared before his vision,
his savage spoke, the buck made
four leaps and gave up the ghost. Ye
editor can readily testify to the vera
sity of the above as he enjoyed sever
al fine juicy steaks from that same
deer. Mrs Hayward is also q true
American sportsman herself and al
ways accompanies her husband on
his jaunts through the woods.

Don'1 Fer Hunters.

Florence Mining News:
Don't pull a loaded gun toward you
by the muzzle.
Don't carry a loaded gun into the
house
DON'T point an unloaded or loaded

Don't walk ahead of person with

Don't climb through fence while
carrying your gun.
Don't when hunting deer, shoot at
every moving thing You see, before
you know what YOU are shooting at.
Be sure your suppo sed game is not a

chances for good shots than to wound
"a man.
Don't shoot high power rifle in the

Spent night IN Tree. Surrounded
by Pack of Volves.

P. N. Forsyth, local orgaaizer of
the M. B. A. lodge, Shad an experience
that he won't forget for some time to
come. Last week Saturday be start
ed on foot for his homestead about 10
from here near the hardwood district,
and on his way home he thought he
would take shortcut through the
woods to shorten his walk, but to his
dismay he became lost and wandered
around the woods all dav endeavoring
to find his way out by the guidance of
his compass, which went wrong, and
sent poor Pete deeper in the woods.
About dark Pete heard a howl near
by and being familiar with the we'll
known howl he lost no time in climb
ing the first tree IN sight. and there
he perched all night TIL day light sur
rounded by pack of wolves whose
continuous bowls made the hair on
Peters head stand straight. Long af-
ter daylight -and the wolves had left,
Pete started homeward again but end
ed up al settler on Kentuck lake,
where he ate nearly everything in the
settlers house after which he was
started homeward on the right road
and he never left it until he struck
town Sunday afternoon about five
O'Clock, tired out, hungry and foot
sore. His friends has been advising
him ever since to never take to the
woods again without a guide and it is
safe to say that Pete will not.

An ermine toque and an ermine stole

not be very expensive, especially if you
do what clever woman friend OF mine
did. She had a husband who took an

of Canada, and he managed to procure
a dozen little ermine skins. which he
brought home to her. at a much smaller
cost than she would have paid here.
Well she bought a good frame and
made the turban herself using the
brim of ermine and a crown of crushed
white camellias. Then she Joined the
other skins together with bands of
lace oddly disposed and lined the whole
with white satin. The effect was not at
all amateurish and was quite rich in
fact.

Some american
Women ~SctzlpforS

I'm the United States women sculp-
tors begin to be heard from. Sew
eral of them receive important
IA commissions and are able to main
tain themselves and hold their
places against all competitors. That
there are so few is probably owing to
the difficulties in the way of acquiring
the sculptor's art in the first place and
afterward making it pay commercially.
Modelling in clay is more difficult than
painting. A girl must be strong enough
to lift moderately heavy weights. to
stand upon ladders and elevated plat
forms, to keep her hands for hours in
the cold, wet clay she makes her i'm
ages of and to consent to be covered
oftentimes from head to foot with white
dust and clay marks. Then there is
unfortunately still considerable me-
dieval masculine prejudice to be over
come.
Nevertheless, if a girl sculptor really
loves her art better than she loves all
else, loves it SO well that she would
rather work with chilled hands and
clay covered apron in a garnet than live
in luxury and do anything else, that
girl will succeed. "These light affiic
lions are but for a moment" If she is
not willing to endure whatever comes
in the shape of hardship. and endure it
cheerfully, then she should let sculp-
