The estimate of football like that of horse racing

Jordan of Stanford university says "rhe game with all
it's faults enormous usefulness, should not be

The immense popularity of football is evidenced by

Special to The Herald.
HARRISBURG, Nov. 2S.-A labor
famine exists in this district The
Pennsylvania Steel company alone
needs hundreds of bricklayers, which
III has as yet been unable to secure. To
meet its needs Il novel plan has been
adopted.
So plentiful is work that bricklayers
are refusing employment which will ne
cessitate working in the open air dur
ing the winter. At Steelton the COM
pany is erecting three batteries of coke
ovens at an outlay of about $1,000, ,000
and is very desirous that the brickwork
be completed by spring.
To secure men the company has erect
ed monster frame sheds over the en-
tire site of the improvement, and will
construct the ovens under cover. These
sheds will be heated to comforta BILE
temperature during all weather.
To convince workrnen that they will
not be compelled to work out in the
weather several hundred photographs
OF the sheds have been made and these
VIII be sent to employment agencies
all ever the country. Thus the COM
pany hopes to secure men at high
wages.
The Pennsylvania railroad, which
some time ago adopted the plan of send
ing agents into the country towns to
secure hands, is still in the market for
young men for several branches of the
service. Shopmen are particularly hard
to get.

A Marvellous Hen

Tarentum has a marvellous hen. This
is hand-raised fowl, so to speak, and
poultry fanciers of the borough are en-
deavoring to attribute some of her re-
markable feats to the fact that she was
brought up in the house of William
Sapp, and is at present about the most
petted member of the household. This
particular hen is a white Plymouth
Rock which was Matched out last
March and raised by hand from a
downy chick. Fed on scraps of meat
and tidbits, the chicken has grown so
prodigiously that it now weighs ten
pounds and is taking on a pound every
two weeks The Sapp hens eggs are
not exactly golden, but they are dou-
BILE yolked, and are coming at the rate
of two and sometimes three per day.
The laying began about two weeks ago,
when the hen dropped two of the dou-
ble-yolked eggs in one day, and then
got up during the night and produced
another Since that time she had been
laying two eggs day for three days
of the week, and during the balance of
the time lays one egg per day. 1t is
Mr. Sapps hope that he can produce a
strain of chickens that will get the
doubleyolking habit.-New Kensington

Several weeks The Herald called attention to a
wager offered by New York that he could manipu-

possibility Of such manipulation demonstrated by
test Of the machines then being placed for service 1t

ability to grind out desired election returns by the
voting machinery which he controlled And that situation
led The Herald to present this paaphrase, dedicated to
Ruef: Let manipulate the voting machines of city

The imperative need OF keeping the ballot sacred has
passed into an American proverb. Every intelligent
American knows that the ballot is the palladium Of our
form Of government and the idea Of operating the ballot
by machinery is repugnant to most voters No voter
fances the idea Of casting his ballot in the manner of

suspicion has been aroused however, by the
seeming attempt to fitch large sum Of money from Los
Angeles in addition to the market value Of the machines
This circumstance, coupled with the disclosures about
the with which voting machines may be manipulated
is leading Los Angeles voters to the conclusion that 1t
would be wise to abandon the machine voting idea en-
tirely.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2s.-As the guest
of the General Society of Mechanics
and Tradesmen in celebration of its
120th anniversary, Andrew Carnegie
paid high tribute to what he termed
honest poverty" and incidentally re-
vealed some interesting things about
his Woodworking ancestry.
Mr.. Carnegie said in part: I'm re-
counting some of the benefits that have
come from this society I want to tell
you that Abram S. Hewitts first

FORWOMEN
Lace Waists

For dress occasions waists of all-over
lace are again very much the thing.
The rage for so-called baby Irish GRO
ohet Is at its height, and waists in this
lace, real and imitation, are displayed
prominently. The worst of Irish cro-
chet is that it Is initiated so we'll. The
machine made lace does not wear very
we'll, and It crushes out of all beauty
after a little. At first, however, It is
almost as attractive as the real. A
form of lace waist which is seen q
great deal is the bolero made UP over
a chiffon underwaist These are usu-
ally accordion plated.
In Millinery
Oriental bands are barbaric, but
beautiful in design and coloring, and
the soft, full crown falls over the band
so that it CLEANS out only here and
there, says a London letter. These
full-crowned hats, made either with
broad brims, with folds of velvet, or
with other material fitting closely to
the hair, and cluster of tips, or an
aigrette, lifting the soft crown at the
left side, are very fashionable, and
many variations are rung upon the
idea.
oysters and Cheese
Two tablespoonfuls OF grated Edam
cheese are melted i'm n double sauce

when melted, four tablespoonfuls of to-

ters. When the edges crinkle, serve

Everyone whose house is furnished

Woman's Love
All! woman-in this world of ours
What gift can be compared to thee?
How slow would drag life's weary
hours,
Though mans proud brow were bound
with flowers,
And his the wealth of land and sea,
If destined to exist alone,
And ne'er call woman's heart his own!
Yes, woman's love is free from guile
And pure as bright Aurora's ray;
The heart will melt before its smile,
And earthly objects fade away.
Were 1 the monarch of the earth,
And master of the swelling sea,
1 would not estimate their worth,
Dear woman, half the price of thee.
