Rainy Weather lnterferes With Prac-
tice Of the Team.
The rainy weather of the past week
has sadly interfered with the practice
of the high school foot ball squad,
which plays the Grinnell high school
at sGrinnell next Saturday. 1t has been
possible to get in but very little
practice this week, altho Coach Kent
has taken advantage of every evening
when it was too wet for skirmishes
to put the players thru signal practice.
Unless Grinnell develops strength
which 1t is not credited with possess
ing the local team should not have
much trouble in defeating them. Grin
nell has fast, altho light team, but
marked improvement has been made In
the locals team play, and it is very
likely Grinnell will meet defeat unless
over confidence on the part of the To-
calls beat them.

BOUND TO BE DAMAGED.

Didn't Want to Suffer
Himself.

Apropos of the suits for damages that
are continually being brought against rail
way companies, relates the New York
Tribune, President Francis, of the St.
Louis exposition, said:
Many Of these suits, of course, are
mere cases Of unjust extortion. 1t isn't
often, though, that the victim of an ac-
cident is as alert and resourceful as a man
of whom l heard the other day.
"A man and his wife were riding in a
car that was derailed. Crash, bang, it
went, and then bump, bang, bump, down
a steep hill. The man howled with terror,
but the car soon came to stop. he ex,
amined himself all over carefully, and
found that he was quite unframed. Then
he thought in the same breath of damages
and of his wife.
Are you hurt at all, old grip he
asked.
No, thank Heaven the woman an
swered.

Let rae black your eye, and won't we
soak the company hard for damages! 1t
won't hurt you much. I'll just give you
one good punch
