FOOTBALL.

The trouble has been in recent years
that more attention has been given to
Drawn than to brain. The game as now
played in America requires beef" and
while skill is also a requisite, it is secon-
dairy to brute strength, and the desire to
win has so overshadowed the sense of
fair play that there has been a ten

This is the feature that President
Roosevelt and others hope to reform
The English game of football is one of

THANKSGIVING.

In these days Of football, chrysanthe-
NUNS ana turkey we are apt to over
look the primery reason for which the
Thanksgiving season was instituted. IN
the excitement Of guessing whether our
team is heavy enough to run over the
sluggers on the other side. and in the
epicurean delights Of the Thanksgiving
dinner table we are prone to neglect to
be grateful for our manifold blessings
That is the way Of the world. but still
it IS not as bad as it might be. We are
only careless. When our attention is
called to it we are quite likely to over
flow with gratitude. particularly IL our
digestion is gOod ana if we happen to
be on the winning side in the foot
ball games.
A misfortune. the loss Of health. for
tune, friends, is sufficient to bring
most people to a realization Of what
they really enjoy at the hands Of
benehcent providence, but too often we
fail to recognize these blessings until
they are gone.
Unless we are too elated or depressed
over the afternoons results to give serious
attention to other matters, this would
be a good time to give q thought or
two to this subject Of gratitude.
