Standing in the center of an open
field at Hoxnc, near Eye, in Suffolk, Is
an Obelisk erected to the memory OF
King Edmund, who met his death there
at the hands Of the Danes In $40. On
the site Of the monument stood an Oa&
tree, in the branches of which the king
sought refuge from his foes. At night
fan he emerged from his leafy hiding
place and secreted himself under a
bridge which spanned stream called
the GoldbrOok.
a wedding party, however, passing
over the bridge in the evening, observed
tie kings gold spur glltterlng in the
moonlight, and in this way his retreat
| became known to his enemies. He was
taken back to the tree in which he had
previously hidden himself and shot
with arrows, and his body was after
ward removed to Bury St. Edmunds
and inferred in the monastery there.
On GOldbrook bridge is inscribed a
record Of the event. Local tradition
has 1t that many years ago the existing

ton is SO well known that bridal

TWO TRADE SECRETS.

the other In Turkey.
There are two trade secrets" said
an artist, that the outside world, II
seems, will never learn. One Is a Chi.
nese secret--the making of the bright
and beautiful color called vermilion or
Chinese red. The other is a Turkish Sc
cret-the lnlaying of the hardest steel
with gold and silver.
Among the Chinese and among the
SyrianS these two secrets are guarded
well. Apprentices, before they are tax
en- for either trade, must swear a
strong oath to reveal nothing of what
passes in the workshop. These appren-
tees, furthermore, must belong to fam.
lilies of standing, must pay large sum
by way of premium and must furnish
certificates of good character and hon.
esty.
You have seen damascened steel, OF
course, and you have seen vermilon
or Chinese red. Remember the next
time you look at these two things that
their secrets have been guarded invio-
lably and have been handed down
faithfully from one generation to an
other for thousands of years.-Chicago

COLLEGE VS.. PUBLIC FOOTBALL

The president in a talk with Profess
sor White of Pennsylvania university
recently said he was in favor Of foot
ball being retained in college athletics,
and added that brutality and foul play
should receive the same punishment
as meted to the man who cheats at
cards or strikes a foul blow in boxing.
He advocated giving the umpire sum-
mary powers of ordering individual
players or whole teams off the grounds
in case of violation of the rules.
The presidents views are very
large and humane and would, if en-
forceable, put football or any other
sport on a very high plane. But where
colleges are to find officials with the
nerve to run whole teams off the field
in the face of the crowd expecting a
game, would puzzle any college pres
ident or set of college presidents.
In football much must be left to the
innate sense Of propriety in the play
ers. The game is such that foul or
brutal work can more easily be COW
cred up than in almost any other
self dangerous gamer may be
secretly and maliciously assaulted and
This opportunity for bad work lays an
extraordinary responsibility for self
restraint on the players themselves.
Unfortunately for this theory of the
game, it seems at present to be tend
ing in some colleges toward a farcical
amateurism, which is really a cloak for
of the rankest kind
Men are introduced into colleges be-
cause they are good athletes and car
ried on the class rolls as students,
when their deficiencies outside of the
gridiron are notorious. Organizing for
victory is the vice of the game.
Football has become a large bust
ness. The public pays the bills and the
public demands its moneys worth.
Hence the struggle for trained football
players becomes every year fiercer.
Professional coaching every year
makes the game a harder one to play
and every year there is an in
creasing demand for trained
players In the colleges with
the least sense Of propriety the de-
mand for material for the gridiron mas
caused a lowering of the college stand
ards that athletes may be brought in
The alumni, the faculties and the
student body have become the victims
of the great, bowling, bleacher crowd,
which demands scientific football, and
which cannot be induced to give up it's
money for games which are merely in
cidental to other college athletics.
Some brave men at the head of the
colleges will have to take a stand upon
the subject and suffer considerable rid
lcule in order to reduce football not
only to an amateur, but to a college
amateur basis.

NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS:
BALLOT THIEVES MUST GO.

Tine cities of New York and Phila-
delphia have been aroused by the
events Of the last campaign to a con-
sideration of ballot reform. Philadel-
phia is interested in the question of
personal registration and New York
in the form of the ballot. e.,
1t is somewhat archaic system they
have in Philadelphia where a mans
name stays on the lists forever if he
votes once, or may be put on from an
assessors list whether he votes at all
or not. The result in Philadelphia was
that the voting lists became COM
pletely choked with the names Of peo-
ence as voters of Philadelphia had
ceased. The organization" had ac-
had men regularly employed to vote
these names. The result was that the
Philadelphia. The work was all done
through the police.
When Mayor Weaver broke with the
boss of Philadelphia last spring he
showed Immediately a knowledge of
root of the disease was, he went i'm
mediately to its consideration. He put
whom he could trust and then began
sending for the captains of precincts
voters in their districts. The police
captains at first professed ignorance
might need an entirely new police
force, the captains consented to make
after few weeks prodding 10000 dead
ones. The mayor was not satisfied,
resulted in the bringing in of q, 900
more. These We're stricken from the
rolls. A half dozen election officials
We're prosecuted and sent to prison. A
thorough scare was thus thrown into
the gang. Its arm of corruption was
paralyzed and the foundation was thus
laid for an honest election.
What Philadelphia wants now is a
personal registration law which will
make such incidents impossible in the
future. The laws of New York are so
constructed as to put a premium on
ignorance and a fine upon intelligence.
The straightaway Tammayite goes
into the booth and marks a cross under
the Tammany emblem. He goes on his
way rejoicing and his vote is counted
as cast But a voter from Brooklyn
or the Bronx who tries to vote a split
ticket or to discriminate between good
and bad candidates on his own ticket
gets into all sorts of difficulties. If he
votes some candidates on one ticket
some on another, he is likely to get
into difficulty with the emblem. and
If, in the process, he soils or tears the
ballot, it is quite likely to be rejected
under a technical construction of the
law.
The people of New York are de.
handing law like that of Minnesota
where the names of al! candidates are
ranged under the name of the office te
which they aspire. Then the man who
can read will have little the bette,
of the man who cannot. The New
York law does not give the plair
American a fair chance.
1t is well that the cities are aroused
upon the subject of a fair chance fo,
the honest voter. The corruption O,
the ballot is most manifest in the grea,
cities. Its fruits are there gathered
by the bosses in the most abundan n,
crop The whole country is coming r.
take its politics and it's politicians from
