causes loss of memory and alcoholism.
This IS not so hard to believe if the alco-

KICKS A MAN

How Johnny GarreIS of Mich

Happy for Life.

To the spectators who throng the
bleachers and side lines at every collie
giate football game, the gridiron sport is
one long series of scrimmages. runs and
kicks, made in more or less futile at
tempts to shove the ball ahead a few
yards on sOggy turf. Comparatively
few Of the thousands who watch football
as II Is played know anything of the back
staircase life of the game
Here's a tale which comes from an
Ohio correspondent. Among the specta-
tors OF the Michigan-O. S. U. game were
a young couple who were engaged to be
married. The man in the case was very
anxious to have the nuptial bond sealed
while the lady who wore the diamond ring
desired to wait q few months. Long and
earnestly had the two discussed the ques-
ton of when" and so were they con-
tending when they went to the football
game.
The Girl Is Game.

shrIeked with delight. The score was
tied. Then Johnny Garrels prepared to
try for a goal from the field. In tanse
silence the man and woman watched the
preparations. The ball was passed. Gar
rels drew back his good right leg. As
the psgskin flew through the air the man
breathed a prayer Straight between the
goal posts the ball flew and thus did
Michigan's great Johnny literally kick a
man into home.
It's not on record but the lucky man
declares that he heard his fiancee CRY.

OF the Rev. w II. Brooks. Negro pastor
OF st Marks church, in Fifty-third street.
New York, because OF the pastors at
tack on the president for his attitude in
the Brownsville affair Cans was greatly
exercised over the sermon delivered by
the Rev. Brooks and upheld the scorching
given the cOlOred preacher by the New
York writer In discussing the Brooks
sermon and the Brownsville affair, Cans
said:
mo cOlored man who has acquainted
himself with the facts of the trouble at
brownsville and who has ordinary intel
lgence, can take exception to President
Roosevelts action in the cases Of the SOL
diers. The people who say that Mr.
Roosevelt acted unfairly in this matter
because the soldiers of the Twenty-fifth
were colOTed men, should be enlightened
as to the fairness and good feeling which
the president has always displayed to the
people of my race. Any man with the
