When Dorcas
Journeyed

Il do hope the cars won't run off

she put the finishing touches to her sis
ter's costume and then stood back and
studied the effect critically Its an
Rudacious flying in the face of Provi-
dence to go switching off behind one Of
them engines that amt like nothing
human nor divine. But here's your
Aunt Beulah down sick In bed and writ
Ing to US, and, the land knows, l can't
go, with all the farm and cows and
cooking and three hired men here, and
they do say she's got splendid house,
with carpets and bathroom and all, and
we're the only kin. There, think that
will do. Yes, it's shame we've never
been to see her. and she being there
twenty years, and the last five all by
herself. But it's a hundred miles, and
1t stands to reason we couldn't go In q

neighborhood scarcely year and folks
still jumping just to hear them Yes,

quickly, she dabbed little kiss upon
her sisters ear. Now, goodby. Be
sure and write soon's you get there, and
don't be set up by the fine things in
Aunt Beulah's house l do hope moth
ing will happen. But young folks like
to travel round and see things. You'll
likely have real good time, and it's
a shame Aunt Beulah's at deaths door
and never been to see her But therel

will plumb spoil on the stove. You look
real pretty, Dorcas." And with this
involuntary compliment Betty Sylves-
ter hurried toward the kitchen, leaving
Dorcas blushing and frightened blush
ing at the unusual compliment and
frightened at the prospect of her first
journey on the cars.
For number of years Dorcas had
had a sutton. At first he had confined
his attentions to stolen glances across
the fields and across the church and on
rare occasions, when his manhood had
asserted itself, to elaborate toilet and
half hours leaning against the Syl-
vester front fence admiring Dorcas'

When King Henry Wits name was
spoken in his presence in the house of
lords every peer Frustrated himself
with Asiatic servility. An entry in the
records of the house gives the sub
stance of a speech delivered by the
chancellor on Jan. 16, 1541, in which
the kings goodness and wisdom are
extolled, and it tells us that whenever
his majesty was mentioned, (which
happened Often all the lords pros
trated themselves, bowling to the
ground as one man.

Montague island has long been considered the home of some very large, fierce grizzly bears: in fact, the idea has been so strongly set- tied in the minds of the natives that they rarely attempt to land there through fear. But this season has proven the belief to be errone- ious. Grant Chase, with his family, went to the island last March, and has lived there ever since. During that time he saw but seven bears and secured six of them. He found them to be a scrawney lot and of little value. He did, however, secure large number of land otters.

PLANNING FOR ANNUAL "GoOG"
Employees and Jockeys at Ascot Park
Arranging for Feast Before
OPENING of Season

A committee of jockeys and stable
employees at Ascot park has been ap-
pointed to select a cook for the an
nual "goog," which will occur some
time next month.
About fifty pounds of pork, beer,
mutton, chicken, lamb and duck will
be put into pot and boiled for three
hours, after which it is mixed with a
vegetable conglomeration and served
to the feasters in tomato cans.
Knives and forks and china and
glassware, as we'll as crockery ana
tin pans, are some of the evidences
of arlstocracy which are barred. Each
feaster is required to bring two Or
binary tomato cans, one for the
"goog' and another for the amber
fluid, which is supplied in superabund-
ance.
Following the feast, field day exer-
cises. including boxing, foot races and
acrobatics, will be indulged In. Mono
logists will also be required to add
to the entertainment.
"Kansas" Sprague is leading the
candidates for the appointment OF
cook, but as he is said to have been
eating feathers all summer, the com
mittee is afraid that the chicken Will
not be found in the pot and Spragues
chances are rather slim.

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful 1t Is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efrlclent
disinfectant and purifier III nature, but
few realize it's value when taken into
the human system has the same cleans
ing purpose. ......
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
YOU take of 1t the better; 1t is not
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sWeetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as natural and
eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
dsinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most Or the money
Is in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form or rather in
the form of large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved con-
dition of the general health, better
complexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty of it is that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use, but on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician, in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal, says: "I ad-
wise Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the COM
plexion and purify the breath, mouth
and throat; l also believe the liver is
greatly benefited by the daily use of
them, they cost but twenty-five cents
a box at drug stores, and although in
some sense a patent preparation, yet
! believe ! get more and better char
coal in Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges
than in any of the ordinary charcoal
tablets"

ter Charging Officials With Par
tiaIitv for CIaremontS

The Company F, team again met
with disaster yesterday, the Pomona
team winning by a score of 16 to 0.
Emmons of Company F sustained
a broken leg, which the armory boys
attribute to the rough play of the Po-
mona men. Upon their arrival in the
city they expressed themselves as mucn
dissatisfied with the treatment received
at the hands of the Claremont men.
Although they stood little chance of
winning, they claim that the officials
were unfair in the extreme and say
that they were robbed from the time
the game started.
Croft Bailey, Lack and Wilson
played a strong game for the soldiers
and Metcalf and Chisholm did the
best work for Pomona.

PASADENA HIGH SCHOOL WINS YALE RUNS UP LARGE SCORE
West Point Unable to Withstand old
ELS Attacking Party and
Is Defeated
Rv Assnciated Press.

WEST POINT, N. Y, Oct. 2S-Yale's
football team defeated West Point to-
day by the score of 20 to 0, making
three touchdowns and one safety. Yale's
large score was made during sudden
spurts in which the heavy eleven threw
West Points defense aside with appar-
ent ease and crossed the gridiron Tor
touchdowns in a few mass plays.
Aside from these few minutes play
the game looked quite promising for
West Point. Toward the close of the
game Yale's attack strengthened and
sensational runs were continually
made.
The game was practically ended be-
fore the time limit by hundreds of en-
thusiasts running out upon the field
after Yale's last touchdown had been
made on a forty-five yard run by
Quarterback Jones.
Both elevens used mass plays entire
ly. Frequently a group of four or tive
Yale players broke through West
Points defense and started an exciting
obstacle race toward the army's goal
for gains of five and twenty yards. At
such times the soldier tackles were
dragged along the ground by the Yale
mass, and stopped its progress only by
throwing themselves on the ground to
be trampled on.

on Brown. The start for the second

PASADENA. Oct. 2S.-The Pasadena
high school eleven defeated the Long
Beach high school eleven at Tourna-
ment park this afternoon by the score
of IL to 5.
The visitors played an uphill game
throughout and had it not been tor a
COSTLY tumble in the second half and
a Long Beach players quickness in
snatching the ball and makinga lodging
run the length of the field for touch
down would have gone back to the
beach with a shut-out to their credit
The Pasadena lads put up brisk
fight from the start and showed their
superiority by running up ten points
before time was called. In the second
half they looked upon the game as al
ready won and allowed the Long Beach
team to score. The attendance and en-
thusiasm were highly satisfactory to
the local football rooters.
