A Pet Beaver.

A beaver believes in being warm
and comfortable. and is full of re-
source if its surroundings are not to

trader who lived on the shores of a
lake. He had pet beaver which re-
mained happily with him and his fam
lily all through the summer and au-
tumn. When winter cane. however,

For a Cold,

The daily cold bath is one OF the
n ost effective safeguards against
taking cold. OF equal importance is
abundance of fresh air in the sleep
ing apartment. Upon the first symp-
toms of "a cold" deep breathing ex-
ercises in the open air or in a we'll
ventilated room should be taken at
frequent intervals. In nearly all
cases where this simple treatment is
taken. there will be no further de-
,elopment of the cold. and the symp-
toms will disappear. A doctor con-
rected with a large institution for
children recently tried this method
upon the inmates with surprising sue
cess.
There is nothing" he writes,
more irritable than cough. For a
time I have been SO fully assured of
this that l determined, for one min
ute at least. to lessen the number of
coughs heard in a certain ward OF
the hospital of the institution. By
ments, I succeeded in having the chill
dren simply hold their breath when
tempted to cough. and in a little while
was myself surprised to see how
some of the children entirely recov-
cred from the disease.

Blindfold one of the party and have
him sit in a chair, with his arms fold

together between the thumb and the
first finger of your right hand. Place
a finger of your left hand between
the coins so that when you pull it
away suddenly the coins will snap to-

Now move to different parts of the

Fun with a Candle.

Grown people as well as children
will get great deal of pleasure out
of the following tricks:
l. Put a nail in the end of can
die and set it in glass jar filled with
water. The nail will hold the candle
steady and it will burn until nothing
remains. always rising above the sur,
face of the water by reason of the de-
crease in weight.
2. Take a small picture cut from a
paper or book and wrap it lightly
round a candle. Light match or an
other candle and hold the flame near
until 1t becomes transparent. Unwrap
the picture and every one will be sur
prised to find It printed on the candle.
3. Put candle unlighted into a
basin full of water. Let several try to
take it out with their mouths. not
touching the candle with their hands.

and Secures Decision

In the prettiest and cleanest exhibl-
ton of boxing ever witnessed in Los
Angeles, kid" Herman of Chicago de-
cisively defeated Eddie Hanlon, The
Pride. last night
The battle went to the limit, twenty
rounds. but Herman's advantage was
apparent from the first round, and in
only four rounds did Hanlon show any
superiority over the eastern boy.
The decision was rendered on points,
both boys being on their feet and ready
to battle further at the close of the
twentieth round But Hanlon's face
and body presented the appearance of
n severely punished battler, while Her.
man practically had nothing to show
for the fierce mix-ups throughout the
contest.
Herman boxed from the stand-up
and-hit plan, while Hanlon assumed his
usual crouch end cover-up tactics for
which he has become famous.
To bring Eddie out of the crouch,
Herman frequently sent in vicious
right uppercuts which generally landed
full on Eddie's face, and Hanlon aban-
doned his crouch after a few rounds
and stood up and boxed straight from
the shoulder.
At this style of boxing, Herman has q
distinct advantage over Eddie. The
eastern boy is unusually clever as COM
pared with the average run of light
, weights who have battled before Los

SHERMAN TEAM HAS NO FUNDS
Football at Indian School May Be
Discontinued-Season Is Flnan-
ciaI Loss

Superintendent Hail of sherman in
stitute is authority for the statement
that the Christmas game viii be the
last TO be participated in by the In
dian football team unless some outside
avenue for financial support presents
itself.
The government provides no fund for
athletic purposes nor is the student
body able to make up deficits as IN
other educational institutions, hence
the superintendent is obliged to make
good all shortages. Last year the deti-
cit amounted 60 $1,000, which had 70
come out of superintendent HalPs
pocket, and gate receipts this season
will not cover expenses of coach, trav-
cling, suits, etc. Unless outside intiu-
ence interferes, therefore, 1t is evident
that the football team cannot longer
be sustained.
