just what would satisfy the inner man.
Cigars, furnished by the newly elected

all the brothers repaired to the waiting
room and proceeded to visit with one
another and enjoy social good time.

AN INTERESTING GAME.

Thanksgiving Day has come and
gone and with it the big football game
scheduled to be played at 2:30 p. m.,
sharp. Its merits and dement's have
been discussed and talked over until
it seems as though no point could have
escaped the critics eye.
Port Huron came here fresh from a
few weeks of hard practice, since the
last game which was tie, too. They
had engaged the services of Paul Travis,
an old Hyde Park, ILL.,, school player,
who is the best in the game in Port
Huron. With him they expected to
clean up on our local bunch But as
fate would have it, the best they could
do was to tie our aggregation, ) to ;.
Yale won the toss and chose to de
fend the west goal. Anderson kicked
to Lothian who punted back for short
distance. BY line bucks and end runs
the cubs tried in vain during the first
half to cross Yale's goal line, but Yale
held solid and only once was her goal
in any danger whatever. This half
ended o too.
Lothian in the second half kicked off
to Burgua who returned the ball ten
yards. On the second down, by a fake
end run, Burgua got past Billman for
about 80 yards. Then Travis on the
third down crossed Yales goal after
six minutes play. Anderson missed
an easy goal kick. Lothian kicked
again to ANDERSON who fumbled and
was tackled within 10 yards of Port
Huron's goal by Lane. McKenna fell
on the ball, but referee Cough could
not give the ball TO Yale on account of
not having seen the tumble. The Cubs
lost the ball on the third down, not
making five yards. Lothian then
crossed the goal line after three min
utes play. Yale also missed the goal
kick. For the remainder of the half
the ball was passed back and forth in
about the middle of the field, neither
side being able to get near enough to
the goal to score. The half ended
) to ).
For Port Huron Burgua, Travis and
ANDERSON starred. Yale's team played
good game-no individual starring,
but good team work.
Emery tackled finely in an open
field Spencer, Lothian and Lane buck
ed for good gains. Lothian, interfered
for by MenZies, gained about 35 yards
on an end run.

for Franz Josef Land, where Fiala in
tended to spend the winter, dispatch
ing thence dog sledges with small par
ties farther north. The last heard from
him before the cables brought the
news of his rescue the other day was
IN October, 1908, when a whaling yes
sci brought the news that the America
had failed to make Franz Josef Land,
but would try again the following

north. When young Fiala applied for
q place he was accepted. Mr.. Ziegler
found that the young man had already
an enviable war record in '98, when he
went to Porto Rico with troop c, and
was also an accomplished artist, pho
tographer and stenographer. So the
young man got one of the coveted
places.
Two years later he came back.
The expedition had been failure.
There had been dissension among the
officers of the America, which finally
stirred up spirit of mutiny even in
the men. Little was accomplished; the
chickering's which had been bred in the
Arctic were kept up when the expedi-
ton arrived back in New York. Mr.
Ziegler was disguised. He spoke his
contempt for the men who had wasted
his money in no uncertain words. But

But at home there was one girl who

again, there was one man who had
made up his mind to obey to the letter
the parting injunction of William
Ziegler, even then doomed to death:
Don't come back without Fiala.
Bring him back dead or alive"
Mr.. Champ knew what that meant,
and he resolved to do it. While Fiala's
men were fast losing hope, the Terra
Nova was making her way northward
almost by inches. She sailed from
Tromsoe, Norway, on June Is last. She
encountered tremendously thick ice all
the way. She encountered rerils that
would have driven back almost any,

Poor Care of Cows,

st. Paul. X. Slater, state dairy
and food commissioner, reckons that
the farmers of Minnesota are losing
approximately $50, 900, 900 year just
because they do not take proper care
of their cows.
In series of tests conducted by the
state department it was learned that
one Minnesota COW in 1908 produced
4762 pounds of butter, as compared
with 166 pounds produced by the aver
age COW. If the 435, TAO cows which
furnished milk to Minnesota creamer-
les in 1903 produced as much butter as
the best cow, the total would have
been 2o7, 412, 24O pounds, instead OF
72, 266, 34s This was loss of 1885, 49,
s92 pounds, or butter worth $27, $685.
17S 49,
Mr.. Slater estimates that the total
production of butter this year will ap-
proximate 1000, 900 pounds, so that il
all COWS produce as much this year as
the best cow did in 1908, the saving
to Minnesota farmers will be about
$40. 900, 900.

still to the north.
On July % they sighted Palmi island.
Next day, after 24-hour battle, they
reached the island. Then they knew
they had won. There they found six
members of the expedition which
Fiala's foresight had left there Then
Champ knew that his mission was
successful, for the six told him where
headquarters were at Cape Dillon, and
that Fiala and the rest of his men
were alive and well there.
Out went the sledges.
They bore joyful news to Fiala-a
rescue ship was waiting! Fiala told
them where the rest of his party were
at Cape Flora, and on July 80 these
were found, too. Some of the men
were mere skeletons, worn down by
the hardships they had endured for
two years, but no one was in such a
bad way that good food and plenty Of
rest would not bring him around all
right. On August all the parties
were gathered together and the start
made for Norway, where everybody
arrived safe and well on August 10.
1t took six days hard work to get out
of the ice-pack-the rest of the sail to
Norway was easy The sturdy ship

would lead us to believe that anti
Russian journalism, melted by the
fast-increasing Jewish control of the
worlds press agencies, is responsible
for the feeling, and that the feeling IS
over-warm. The writer makes a state
ment he would have the impartial
reader weigh carefully-that Russia
has never yet repudiated her obliga-
tons.
The anti-Russian feeling is of decid-
CD strength, and the attitude of Ameri-
ca towards Russian craftsmanship Is
not so very different from that OBJ
tanning over in the mother country.
The Fortnightly contributor, whom we
have quoted above, asserts that RUS

Englishman is a synonym for false
hood, while Russian ambassador is
an Annanias in the flesh. The duplic-
ity and mendacity of Russian states
manship is an article of faith with
Enslishmen, about which it is useless
to contend. The Russians claim, how

The Japanese, too, it is needless to
cay, are tricky, but they have the SUI
marai spirit, the impelling patriotism
which moves the individual to greatest
sacrifice for pride of country. The
Russians seem to want the pound of
flesh and the good name, too. AS illus
trative of the subtlety of Russian
diplomacy we quote from some dis
patches published in London during
the later days of the peace parleying at
Portsmouth. the dispatches purporting

They say japan desired to play the
enviable role of chivalrous prince in

princes from the power CT the sorcer-
er's spell and in helping Europe and
the civilized world to rights too long

naturally aimed at proving that she
had intended all along to restore what
was lot her own, but had resented the
attempt on the part of Japan to humil-
late her by compelling her to do so. :
Secondly, she declined to allow the
wording Of the treaty clauses to con-
vey the impression that Japan was
debating to her, while she was obey
ing. Hence the Russian ENJOYS insist
ed that their Japanese colleagues
should expressly adopt identical, self!
denying ordinances which according to
the original clauses of the draft of the
treaty Russia, and only Russia, was to
sign.
Thirdly, instead of allowing Japan
to adjudicate for herself the honor Of
championing China and Korea, Russia
openly took their part, insisted during
the discussion that their international
status should be fairly reckoned with
and endeavoring to revive rights Of
theirs which still exist in theory but
are dead in practice.
Lastly, whenever in dealing with

not to dispute the substance of the dc
mand preferred, she still insisted on
the proposal being so worded that she
should not appear to sign away rights
other than her own or connive at fu-
ture policy Of absorption which she
was unable to indorse."
AS instance that fat falsehood is re-
sorted to by the Russian leader at
times, story is told by Rutherford
Corbin in Harper's Weekly. This il

Anglo Saxon, and, as we have suggest
ed above, the Anglo-Saxon may be
given to exaggefation, unjust judg-
ment. We tell the tale as it was told
to US.
The incident cited took place when
the nations sent their soldiers to the
relief of the legations at Picking; and,
though we desire fair play for Russia,
we may digress moment to call to re-
mcmbrance of the reader the greedi-
ness evinced by the Great Bear when

getting to the scene of action, and no
great account when arrived, asked for
an outrageous sum, great deal more
than the claim made by the United
States. The Great Bear frequently
wants the lions share.
But to tell Mr.. Corbin's story: Tho
expedition to the relief of the legations
will be remembered as the most COM
posite army since that of the sixth
crusade. 1t was composed of Japs,
Russians, Americans, English, French,
Germans and Italians. They took Pc
king and relieved the legations. 1t
was decided to have formal entry
through the city, and great were the
preparations therefor. Each nation
wished it's troops to lead the parade,
except that the English and American
commanders surrendered to the Japa-
nese their claims to the first prece-
dence Chaffee and Gaselee assured
the Japanese commander that, in their
opinion, he was entitled to precedence,
because Japan had the most troops
present. 1t was finally agreed between
all the commanders that the matter
day Of the conference came. Gen.
Gaselee proposed his plan that the
armies should be arranged in order of
the numerical strength of the repro

the Japanese marshal. How many

said he had $500. WELL said Limo

in the exclamation and asked the in

Then Mr.. Corbin adds a finishing
touch with this: ut is good story as
il stands, and shows character which
to the envious is strictly Russian. The
addenda which comes from foreign
attache is even more interesting. The
attache was standing outside the coun-

Nashville. Tenn.-Some time during

will mark the climax to one of the pref
tiest romances this land of romances

1t will be a union of the north and
south of that north represented
by the frozen ice fields surrounding the
north pole, and of this sunny southland.
Anthony Fiala, the hero of the Ziegler
expedition in search of the pole, is the
hero of this romance, and Miss Claire
Puryear, a young lady prominent in
Nashville society, is the heroine, and
the story of their courtship is an inter-
