This gallant robber of mems purses
and ladies' hearts was of French ex
traction. Duval became so rich with
his Ill gotten gains that he was enabled
to retire from the profession and re-
turn to France. But a quiet life, free
from the excitement of his old career,
did not agree with his adventurous
spirit. He returned again to England
and resumed his avocatlon. At length
he was captured at the Hole In the
Wall. in Chandos street. While In
prison awaiting his doom many ladies'
Of position visited him and endeavored
to obtain his release. but justice was
inexorable, and he was hanged at Ty-
burn in January. 1910. His epltaph In
st. Pauls church, Coyent Garden,
speaks Of him as "Old Tyburn's glory,
Englands illustrious thief" and tells
us
Here lies Duval. Reader. If male thou
art.
Look to thy purse: If female. to thy
heart.

the doctor led the nurse to the bed.

patient.
The man proved poor liar, and the
patient began to rave:

The doctor sent the man away and
suggested that they call a clergyman.
After ALL there was nothing legal
about a ceremony with a man who
didn't know what he was doing. The
patient rayed on, aud the nurse finally
consented.
A real clergyman was called, aud the

1t has been common gossip for sever
al years that certain referees and UNI
pires could be depended upon to per
NIT rough and foul tactics without In
reference or infection of penalties.
Under the new rules and the efforts
made by the committee to secure re-
liable men for the positions It was
hoped that this would be overcome.
Unfortunately 1t appears that this is
more of a dream than a reality. The
average referee and umpire in the
games to date appear to be incompe-
tent, to say the least. The penalties an.
nounced for the infringement of rules
have frequently not been enforced, and
direct violation OF the rules have been
permitted.
In many cases the officers have been
allowed to interpret the rules to suit
themselves. An instance occurred in
the Princeton-C Cornell game In New
York when Quarterback Dillon of
Princeton was ruled of the field for
smuggling In the second half. His ac-
ton was witnessed by dozens of the
spectators in the stands, and he was
rOundly Kissed as he walked to the
side lines. Rule %, paragraph B, dis
tinctly prohibits the striking of an Op-
pOnent and provides as a penalty for
such offense half the distance between
the point of down and the offending
teams goal line in addition to the dis
qualification Of the player who VIC
lates the rule. 1t is provided that the
offended side may decline to accept the
enforcement of the ruling, which is a
weak point, for the captain of the
team whose player is struck frequent
ly considers it sportsmanlike to decline
to receive a long gain as a result Of
hotheadedness. If, however the rules
are worth observing there should be no
loopholes to nullify the working. In
the game in question there was no ap-
parent effort made to enforce the pen
atty, and after the contest it was said
that the officials forgot to impose one.
In the middle west they believe the
rules were made to be enforced, for
recently the Michigan eleven lost If
Won janus a. BA8 R0AAS OG~0AD@
Coach Yost in his excitement shouted
some advice to the Wolverines.
Another eastern infringement con-
sisted in permitting dozens Of human
ice carts to parade up and down the
side lines during the progress Of the
game Rule %, paragraph A, states
that not more than FIVE men shall be
allowed to walk up and down on each
side Of the field. The rest, including
substitutes. water carriers and all oh
ers, must be seated. Not the slightest
attempt has In many cases been made
to enforce this rule, and at several
eastern games there were dozens Of
fat men waddllng up and down the
edge of the playing field, while specta-
tors, who paid TO see the game. had to
take chances on being able to find a
beephole in the wall Of deadhead hu-
manity.
The rules are not worth the paper
they are printed on unless they can be
snforced.

DRESSING FOR DINNER.
a Habit to BE Cultivated by An
Glasses of Persons.


Dressing for dinner Is regarded by
some as a piece of arrogance and as
evidencing merely a desire to appear
superior to somebody else. They OBJ
serve no dignity in the custom and per
haps do not realize the fact that the
change OF clothes is consistent with
personal comfort and cleanliness,
whether the new garments donned be
OF the evening dress pattern or not.
The most important meal Of the day
affords to those who dine in the even
Ing an excellent opportunity OF ex-
changing their workaday clothes for a
suit which has been brushed and aired.
The bracing effect OF a change OF
clothes is well known. Many a man,
being almost too fatigued after an ar-
duOus days work to change his clothes.
finds himself considerably refreshed
when he experiences a feeling of clean
illness and preparedness for his dinner,
and good digestion invariably waits on
healthy appetite. The changing Of
clothes may even thus favorably affect
nutrition. Nor need the changing Of
clothes be the exclusive luxury of tho
persons who dress for dinner. The
hard worked clerk, the shopkeeper and
the workingman would all be better II
they would cast off their workaday
clothes and put on clean clothes for the
evening meal after the day of toll is
over. The change freshens the body.
gives a gentle stimulus to the wearied
hand and head, and a brighter view OF
things is thereby engendered. The
habit is, besides, Clearly. dignifed and
becoming-Lancet.
