The Football Hero.

In sizing up the modern Hercules
of the gridiron, the Detroit Free Press
unsparingly, though. We must admit,
truthfully says: THE football hero is
not nice to gaze upon. AS rule a
bath is a crying want with him. He
has d surplus of dirt and minus of
cuticle. Football heroes feel comfort
able with less cuticle than any other
heroes. No football hero is fully
dressed, so far as cuticle is concerned.
He leaves most of his epidermis upon
the green sward and the shoes of the
other players. Football players usu-
ally wear their noses flatter and broad
er than other people, and their eyes,
as d rule, are more highly colored.
Blacks and blues are very popular this
year. A football player is hero only
a few weeks. 1t is we'll that it is so,
for if he were expected to work IS a
hero all the year round he would not
have face fit to wear. The first day
after Thanksgiving he has his hair cut
and gives his face a vacation, so that
the wounds of the fray may. heal.
When his face gets back to work it
is no handsomer than any other mans.
and the football player is not heard
of again until the snow flies. Foot
ball has been said to be brutal sport.
That is a matter of opinion. A sure
way to avoid the brutalities of foot
ball is to play croauet."

Well at Akron, the keeper of this
elephant, Bolivar, had to go and see
a girl that he met when the show was
here last year, and settle a case of
breach of promise before a justice of
the peace, and the boss told pa to look
after the elephant for an hour or so.
So pa took pole with hook in it and
sat down on a bale of hay to watch
Bolivar. 1t was one of those hot days
and Bolivar stood dropping and per-
spring, and wishing the show was in
Alaska. and pa was kind of sleepy
like everybody in the show, when sud
denly that elephant whOoped, and
swatted Jeanette. his wife. a couple of
times, and she cried pitiful. and pa
put the hook in Bolivars hide and
gave jerk, and told him to hush up
that noise, but Bolivar just reared and
pitched and walked right through the

SO the seeds and juice and pulp run

looked as though murder had been
committed, but pa wiped his face on
his shirt sleeve and showed game. be-
cause he kept mauling Bolivar with
the hook. Bolivar broke up a millinery
store by throwing tomatoes at the
women in the windows, and be went
into a yard where a woman was
washing and squirted the bluing wa
ter all over the woman, and all over
pa ,>and then he chewed the clothes on
the line, and drove the family over the
fence.
You'd died to see those milliners
climb over a high board fence head
first. and Bolivar actually seemed to
laugh. Bolivar run one of his tusks
run out on the street car track, and an
electric spark set it on fire, and the
fire department turned out, but the
engines had to all go around Bolivar,
cause he wouldn't bulge an inch. but
seemed to say: Let 'er rip. boys;
this is the Fourth Of July"
The circus men began to come with
ropes and club, to tie Bolivar and
throw him, but he escaped into side
street and watched the engines put out
the fire. and he swung around with his
trunk and his tusks and wouldn't let
anyone come near him but pa with the
hook, and he seemed to enjoy the prod
ding, but 1 guess that gave him cour-
age to keep on doing things.
The principal proprietor of the show
Barbour County index., 1905-12-27

came along, and when he saw pa with
watermelon and bluing water all over
him, and perspiration rolling down his
face, he said to pa: why don't you
take your elephant back to the lot,
cause the afternoon performance is
about to begin" and that made pa
mad, and he said: You go on with
your afternoon performance, and
will have Bolivar there all right" and
then everybody laughed. but pa knew
what he was about.
Pa dropped his hook and went to a
hose cart and took Babcock extin-
guisher and strapped it on his back
and went up to Bolivar, who was tip
ping over some dummies in front of
a clothing store, and pa said: ''Boli-
var, you lay down." but Bolivar threw
a Seven-dollar suit of clothes at pa.
and beloved, as much as to defy pa.
Pa turned the cock of the eXtinguish-

head, and began to squirt the medi-
Gated water all over him. For a mo-

According to a late report from

Generosity of Genius.


Descanting upon the qualities of the
genius in an article in The Reader,
Bliss Carman, the poet, learnedly OBJ
serves: ''The genius is spirit in its
last incarnation. He has bounden
duties to the cause of perennial and in
finite beauty. and these delicate exact
ing obligations are not less necessary,
though less tangible, than the services
OF the stone in the building and the
coral insect in the reef They are
more analogous to the higher, frail-
er, more indefinite, but more inspiring
utilities of the flowers of the wood
and the ephemera of the air. And
consider what responsibility is his in
the conveying to us of priceless treas
ure from the tenuous resources of the
imagination. He is an accredited pur-
ever were brought hcme from earthly
adventure. He goes every day on an
unchartered voyage to some fairy is
land, and returning to these gray
shores brings back an invaluable
freight of solace and gladness and re-
juvenation. To all the toiling tribe
of mortals he is the most unquestion-
able of benefactors, since he asks but
little and gives SO much. He is not
merely member of the commonwealth
of society, he is also an emissary
from the incorporeal kingdoms of the
spirit. He owes allegiance to our hu-
man institutions, yet is always over
wrought even more by the exaction
Cf secret orders whose superhuman
import he must interpret for our en-
heartening. The generosity of the
genius is miraculous; he turns the bit
ter waters of life Into sweet springs
by word. A few cents worth of pa
Per and ink, a few dollars worth of
paint and brushes, little leisure and
leaping heart, and the wonder-work-
ing is accomplished, which may out
last the brilliancy of perished cities
and the extravaganza of kings. 1t is
the genius, the artist, who makes this
life worth living for us, who gives us
courage to live. Without the pleas
ure and aspiration he provides, we
should faint by the roadside. He sus-
tains the faltering heart, and out of
his sure faith puts certitude in the
doubtful mind. He is practitioner Of
that creative wizardry which works
through nature and through art alike,
and is continually surprising us with
new variants of beauty, fresh mani
festations of goodness, larger revela-
tions of truth"
