\ Vigorous Protest.

A correspondent who would appear
to be considerably excited sends US
protest against the proposed attempt to
humanize football. He says:
y am great admirer of 7. Roose-
welt and have voted for him every time
he has come up, and expect to vote
for him again, and influence my
neigh bOrS to vote for him, too, but
don't like the way he tries to make US
believe he is going to reform football.
I don't like the expression, either In
the first place. there is nothing to re-
form about football. In the second
place, any attempt to reform it would
destroy its hold on the favor of both
players and spectators. 1t is the only
game that thoroughly stimulates those
faculties that go to the making OF the
true ideal of manhood.

one Shank More.

The writer Of Some Recollections Of
Legal Luminaries tells the following
story as an Illustration of the wit of
the late Lord Robertson.
While practicing at the bar as an ad-
vocate Robertson was waited upon one
evening at his house in Drummond
place by a miner. who wished to con-
suit him about obtaining compensa-
ton for the loss of a limb caused by
cOliery accident.
1t was after dinner and Robertson
was either unwilling to be troubled at
the time or he found the opportunity
of making a Joke Irresistible for eve
ing the miner minus his leg he said:

come to The wrong person. If you viii
step over to Great King street which
is just al hand. you viii find there one
Shank More that viii put you all
right.

cate also practicing at the bar.

are constant reminders of the earlier
dignity. In Belgium marriage does NOT
extinguish it, for many married 40
men oIten combine the old name with
the new moreover. they put the
maiden name last, thus giving il fha
greater distinction. We can illustrate
this by supposing the custom to nre-
vail in this country. In that case Miss
Brown when she married Mr.. Robinson
would have her visiting cards printed
"Mrs. Robinson-Brown.'' This double
paralleled arrangement does not give
the Belgian wife a better social status
than the English Wife's. but It is very
soothing to feminine pride.=London

Thirty Below al Meadows.

Last Friday a regular blizzard
swept over the Salmon river country
and into this valley. The entire Sal
mon river country was covered with
snow, an almost unheard of occurrence,
causing much suffering to stock and
sheep on the range. The snow drifted
making travel difficult. The storm
was accompanied by intense cold, the
mercury dropping to 16 below during
Friday night. During Saturday the
weather was quiet at this point and
the thermometer rel gstered "a above.
But the gale up Salmon river contin-
ued and during Saturday night the
government instrument at the Eagle
office registered the frigid temporal
ture of 80 degrees below zero, the
coldest known in the valley for many
years.
Sunday was not bad day, the
mercury going to IL above, falling
only four degrees below that point
during Sunday night. Through it all

snugly under the hills in the shadow
OF the pines, protected from the icy
blasts, and her people sat costly by
