international Flavor Is Given Billiards
by PLANNED Matches.

by Planned Matches.
New York, Nov 16.-Billiards will be
given an international flavor this win
ter by the two big tournaments of
leading professional players now in
Paris and this country. julius Bake
is in Paris and one object of his visit
is to secure the entries of AIarva, the
Spanish expert; Sutton, the best Amer
lean player over there, and Cure, the
great French expert. Vignaux and
Sanchez may also come over. Ameri-
can entries from this side will in an
probability be Schaefer, Slosson and
Hoppe. The present plans are to hold
the tournament in New York, but local
promoters are agitating a movement to
include St. Louis in the itinerary.
A new trophy is to be offered en-
blematic of the worlds championship
at 1872 balk line, the old emblem having
passed to the permanent possession of
Vigraux.
Local billiard men believe that match
games viii follow the tournaments, Civ
ing greater activity in billiards this
winter than at any time in years.

Lawrence. Kan, Nov. 16.-The Has
kell- Kansas football game which will
be played on McCook field next Satur-
day, promises to be the hardest fought
and closest that will be played by eth
er team this season. The Jayhawkers
have not been able to make themselves
noticeable in the annual Haskell game
since Yost coached Kansas in 1893.
Kansas has lost this game for the last
four years. However. there seems a
good show for Kennedy's men to
change the luck and win from the Red
Skins this year.
The results of the former Kansas
Haskell football games are:
1898-Kansas Is, Haskell O.
1899-Kansas Is, Haskell 0.

1900-No game.

played Haskell has scored rs points 20

pride to the fact that the Red Skins
have never shut them out in football

1t seems really impossible to extit.
guish the bomng instinct In a good
pigeon. A story is told Of a French
carrier pigeon which was captured By
this German soldiers during the siege
of Paris in 1870. The bird was being
carried in balloon from Paris to
some point In the country, whence 1t
was expected to return to Paris with
message. 1t was taken to the Ger
man headquarters and presented to
the commander, Prince Frederick
Charles, who sent 1t to his mother in
Germany. Here it was placed in a
splendid roomy aviary and carefully
fed and nourished; but, although it WAS
kept here, living in the lap of royal
luxury for four years, the French
pigeon did not forget it's fatherand.
At the end of that time the aviary
was left open one day. The pigeon
flew out, mounted high in the air, flew
about for moment as If to find the
points Of the compass and started in
straight line for Paris. Ten days aft
erward it beat it's wings against the
entrance to it's old loft in the Boule-
ward de Clichy. There 1t was recog-
nized, and, its case being brought to
public attention, it was honored as
patriot returned from foreign captiv-
ity. 1t remained at the Paris Jardin
dAcclimation until it died in 1878.

work as a chOrOus leader was highly
appreciated by the large audience at

excellent work. The following com
prise the grades: Mabel Keith, Mary

Wicker, Mae McIlvane, Anna Viewer,

The work has been arranged that each
grade teacher has room that is not

the progress this year that they should
make it is surely not the fault of the
teacher.

man in Lawrence customer of his
firm contracted debt which ran along
for year or more without any signs
of settlement. Several letters, says
the Boston Herald, failed to bring
about liquidation.
One day, while CHANGING over the re-

wards benefactor saw something which
gave him an inspiration, and he went
to his desk and wrote the following
note to the debtor:

Some one has said that we find what
we are looking for in this world. If
that is true, and 1t is true in GER
tain measure, how very much better
and more wholesome to be looking for
kindness rather than Sights, for hap
piness rather than misery, for the
flowers of life rather than its thOrns,
says WOman's Life. Even when these
things seem impossible you may think
them so, and by the power of your il
lusions make them come true. Illusion
and diSillusion are to the mind what
rose colored and blue spectacles are to
the eyes-illusion the rose, disillusion
the blue. 1t may seem a sort of child's
play to hold so fast to that which may
be mythical, but anything is worth
while which makes for happiness and
peace.

and successful teacher conducted the
first school in town. Early in the
year 1879 it being found that the facil-
tiles under the board of the District
township were not adequate for the
rapid increase in population, an indie
pendent district was organized, direct
ors elected, and money raised to erect
a two story fOur-rOOm building, which
was completed and occupied early in
the year 1880, with Geo. n. Funk as

be provided from time to time. until
1903 the present cOmmOdiOuS brick
building, which is modern in its style
and appointments, was erected. In
the choice of teachers the school
board has been very conservative.
Prof. F. =. Hooker the retiring super
lntendent was retained at the head of
the schools for fourteen consecutive
years; and during all those years the
standard of the school was gradually
raised. Last spring as he was not
candidate for reelection F. j. Mantz
was chosen superintendent.
In selecting Miss Ella M. Stearns as
principal the board acted wisely.

in her new position she has shown

FISHES THAT AXE RACERS.
The TarpOn, shark ana Mnckerel Are
the Speed Champions.

The TarpOn, shark and Mackerel Are
the Speed Champions.
Study of the speed of fishes Is en-
barraSSed by unfayOrable difficulties.
1t is not possible, as with birds, to set
up tall poles at intervals of Il quarter
of mile and, with the help of stop
watches, time them as they go by.
Nevertheless investigation of the sub
ject goes to show that the mackerel, il
not the champion racer of the briny
deep, comes pretty near to carrying off
the honOrs. PROFESSIONALLY it travels
sometimes as fast as an express train
at high speed-say, at the rate OF sixty
or possibly seventy miles an hour.
Other things being equal, the larger
the fish the faster it swims just as the
huge steamship is able to travel at
speed much greater than the little har
Dor tug. Undoubtedly the energy en-
plOyed by fish of great size, such as
Il thirty foot shark when travelling at
its best gait, Is something tremendous.
An ordinary tug, which represents a
maximum Of energy in minimum of
bulk, utiliZes about POO horsepower.
or course it is only Il guess, but it
would not seem to be over the mark
to suppose that q seventy foO,: whale
makes use of 500 horsepower when it
propels its huge bulk through the wa
ter at Il rate of thirty miles an hour.
A whale, which Is a mammal and not
a fish, might be compared to a freight
fro I'm hn hnr ly 10 hnn
press, but 1t can beat the fastest ocean
greyhound in speed contest.
II there is u fish that can travel fast
er than q shark 1t must be the tarpon,
which can probably hit her up tothe
tune of eighty miles an hour, If pressed
for time. Generally speaking it may
be said that tinny creatures which live
near the surface Of the sea are swift
swimmers, as compared with those
that dwell In the depths. Thus the
cod which is deep water species, Is
sluggish and would stand no show
at all in race with the mackerel or
herring. These latter, which are dis
tinctively pelaglc, depend for their liv-
ing upon their activity in pursuing
agile prey, and they must be quick in
their movements in order to escape
their own enemies.
If the mackerel were as big as good
sized shark it would probably be the
speed champion Of the ocean. No fish

desire to make the school second to

and, "as England was then at war with
the whole of America, the greater part
of Europe and much of Asia, not to
speak of bit of Africa, she in point
Of fact came as near being the enemy
of mankind as could well be conceived
and that England was therefore the
