DISEASE OF ATHLETICS.
Too Much Attention Often Paid to
Otherwise Useful Sport.

At this season We hear most
about the excessive interest that
attaches 10 college athletics.
Happily, says the Providence
Journal, only two months are Civ
en- up to football; otherwise,
upon the testimony of experienced
professors, it would be doubtful
whether the student body could
be reduced To state of applica.
ton to study much before the
Christmas holidays. If the first
weeks of the academic year are
the most important, the distrac-
lions of football excitement are
especially i'll timed.
The advantages of sound mind
in a sound body are too uniyer-
sally recognized to need elabora-
ton; the merits of football as an
exhilarating sport for summer
afternoons are also generally ad-
mitted in spite of the dangers of
the game. Most of us feel a nat
ural pity for the student who is
not able or inclined to participate
in such spirited exercise. But il
is true, on the other hand, that too
much is made of the game. partic-
ularly at the large institutions, so
much, in fact, that the students
attention can be directed to study
only with the greatest difficulty.

PHILOSOPHY OF A TRAINER.
Negro Who Ran His Horse to Death
While He Slept.

Charles Iittlefield, according 10
the Illustrated Sporting News,
tells the following Renaissance of
lis early days as a jockey. when
racing had Il strong hold in the
south, some time before the war:
II was down near Alexandria.
La. a lazy old negro known as
Uncle Eph, who had won Il
spurious reputationas trainer Of
thoroughbreds. because he had
been lucky enough to train two or
three good horses, was preparing
horse for a race at mile heats.
Eph was above all things an Opt
mistic philosopher Nothing that
could happen would he profess to
wish otherwise. and Mr.. Little
fields story APPLY illustrates this
peculiar trait.
Uncle Eph stretched himself in
the shade Of a big live oak that
was growing ii the infeld. not far
from the Judges stand, and in
strueted his little ebony exercise
hoy 10 gallop the horse TWO miles.
The morning was a hot one ard
Eph WAS sleepy: so sleepy was he,
in fact, that he was just Il trifie ir-
ritated when the boy pulled the
horse to a standstill in front Of
him and asked for instructions.
Use done galloped him two
miles. sab shall 90 round agin .
Uncle Eph looked up. and. rails
ing himself upon his elbow. looked
sternly and reproyingIy al the he E
and said; Now YOU look hc, r.
YOU lazy, no account, little. black
Niger, YOU just gallop DAT horsa
around dat track agin. and agiH.
and agin, an You keep him goin'
till l tells you to stop. Eye heah?'
With the immediate responsible
ity off his mind for the time being,
Uncle Eph quickly dozed off, and
he slept soundly for two solid
hours, and in the meantime Sam
and the unfortunate horse were
having a hot time. tended as only
such a training incident could.
With the bride and saddle on
his arm little San kicked at the
old trainers ribs vigorously, with
this suggestion: Come on, Uncle
Eph, let's 90 hum"
Uncle Eph yaWned, rubbed his
eyes, and then sat upright, blinking
in owllike fashion at the hot sun
that had been fercely beating
upon him for HE last hour. Then.
looking about him. he turned to
sam with the question: Whar's
dat hoss?"
He done drapped dead over at
the half-mile pole"
whats dat YOU say, niger,
drapped dead?'
Yes, he drapped mos ten min
utes back. :
oval, | reckon it's jest as good
he did. IF he can't stand work he
can't stand racin', an it's jest as
/ good he's dun fur. He won't cost

<
the Pennsylvania Dutch.
The farmers of the township of
FaEettc, adjoining Waterloo, are
largely of Pennsylvania Dutch or

press. They are a hardy and
thrifty race, and for general intelli-
gence comparefavorablyWitht their
neighbOrS of Anglo Saxon stock.
They are, however, full OF the
quaint superstiti0ns and rural
folk lore Of their forefathers, and
many interesting anecdotes are
told by FaYette people illustraI-

Of their farms and the routine Of
their lives.
IN all earthly matters the al
