ST. PAUL CENTRAL
WINS FROM EAST
Teams Were Evenly Matched, but
Saints Won Out on
Kicking.

The East high team went down to defeat
before the st. Paul Centrals yesterday after
noon at Lexington park by score Of 8 to 4,
every point being made by goals from the
field. The game was one Of the best ever
played at Lexington park, as both teams
were OF corresponding weight and the speed
Of tho men seemed about equal. Captain Nc
OF the argument on field kicks, however. and
the game was won by him. Captain Martin
Of East made the four points for his team
BY putting the ball squarely between the
posts from the 80.yard line.
For the Minneapolis aggregation Martin
was the star, running the team with fine judge
ment and getting OF some spectacular end
runs. Wyman at full and Hunt and Hawley
at At, halves played like clock work, running with
defense. Brand and Barnard held down their
end positions like veterans and Balfour after
directing his plays in their direction few
times decided that formations were necessary
II END runs were going to count. Huey, Rey-
noldson and Woods played good ball. ali hold
ing down their positions well.
For the Centrals McGregor was the bright
particular star and he was a puzzle to the
Captain Martin failed to make q single gain
around him. Michigan, eBnham, Cou1JoIly
and aBlfour constituted strong backneld and
time and again they were pushed against the
East's line for great gains.
Central Scores.
Central scored first early in the game. Both
teams resorted to the kicking game and after
several punts had been exchanged, McGregor
OF the saints dropped back and made pretty
drop kick from the So-yard line. He made
three other unsuccessful attempts, missing
twice by bare foot. On the next trial he
made another perfect kick, the ball again 60
ing high above the bar and between the poles
The East Side team made their score in the
last few minutes of play in the second half
after they had failed to make touchdown,
being as near as the Centrars hve-yard line
at one time. The ball was on the 25-yard
line and Martin dropped back and getting a
good pass from Reynoldson sent it squarely
between the posts.
By winning this game it is probable that
the st. Paul Centrals will claim the twin
city championship, which they will be entitled
to II East wins from Minneapolis Central. II

OLDEST ORGAN IN EXISTENCE.
winchester, N. H., Has Ancient Mu-
sicaI Instrument.

Winchester, N. H., Has Ancient Mu-
sieal Instrument.
The Oldest pipe organ In existence
in this country, and the third one to
make its appearance in America. Is To-
Gated In Winchester. N. H.
The instrument was quilt by Henry
Pratt, a native of winchester. who.
like his father, was carpenter by
trade.
1t CHANGED that in the year 1888, at
l9 years of age, he went with his
father to assist in building church in
Hudson, N. Y. While there he OBJ
tained a draft of an organ in that To-
cality. which had been brought over
from England.
This draft Pratt took home with him
and showed it to one of the most
prominent of Winchester's citizens.
Capt. Smith. The captain at once
evinced intense interest. and made
the following proposition to Pratt:
III you will build the organ. will
give you bushel of rye per day while
you are building it, and If you succeed
in making an acceptable instrument. |
will pay you $500 additional"
Pratt began work Immediately. and
one year later, in the summer of 1889.
he finished the organ. After due con-
sideration it was pronounced sue
cess. and was accepted and paid for
by Capt. Smith. who at once presented
it to the citizens of Winchester.
1t was first used by the Congrega-
tional society. the only denomination
in town holding service at that time
For about sixty years it was in con-
stant use by either the Congregation
alists or the Universallsts.
The organ has five stops. namely,
principal, stop diapason, open diapa-
son, 18th and 18th. The 18th and 18th
have metal pipes made from the lead
taken from tea chests. All the other
pipes are constructed of old growth
pine. of which there used to be large
quantities in the region of Winches-
ter.
The keys were formerly OF mahog-
any. with a narrow strip of ivory run
ming through the top of the sharps.
In the center of the natural keys were
pieces of ivory about half an inch

NOT WHAT MAMA LOOKED FOR.
Second Shock of the Day for Wilbur's
Mother

her little boy of swearing, at last
threatened that the next time he used
L bad word she would Danish him

exploded big, big D.

Mrs. Rutherford. but I have never

but with round, wondering eyes and
dovncast mouth. kissed his mama
and departed. Mrs. Rutherford's eyes
were dim as she watched her baby

trudging away, without one faltering
backward glance.
A long way off, Wilbur set his bur

TRACED TO EMPEROR TisEMus
Originator Of Remark About Forty,
Fool and Physician

Fool and Physician"
1t would appear that the Emperor
Tiberius was the originator of that
well known saying: Every man at
forty is either fool or a physician"
But Tiberius said thirty, not forty, so
Bacon informs us in his History of
Life and Death:
''Tiberius, though n drunkard and
luxurious in his diet. was yet very
careful of his diet and used to say
that every one after thirty was either
Il fool or a physician"
Probably Bacon's authority was
Tacitus (''Annals,'' book VI. chapter
46). who says of Tiberius that He
was wont TO make sport of the physi-
cians, and of people who after thirty
needed others to tell them what was
good or bad for them" In Tacitus, of
course, the epigrammatic flavor is
lost.
But why has popular usage altered
the age from thirty to forty? Simply
on account of the ALTERATION. so car
essing to the popular ear. De Quin-
cey. who quotes the modern phrase in
his Opium Eater" dwells upon Its
alliterative value. and conjectures
that our forefathers emphasized that
ALTERATION by spelling physician with
an F. Likely some of them did. The
strange thing is that De Quincy
seems to have been ignorant of the
fact that the craze for ALTERATION
had gone so far as TO change the age
in the proverb.-Penn Steele in The
Sunday Magazine.

his capital to a more northern site.
Owing to the energetic way in which
the present emir and his immediate
predecessor have been manufacturing
guns and machinery the country
round Kabul has been denuded to
such an extent that fuel is now un-

to which the emir is reduced by the

that new site should be obtained,

sRoooINe FEMALE WALLED UP.
African Bird That Keeps Its Mate
Imprisoned.

A remarkable mode of incarceration
is practiced by the hornbills. birds
with immense bills and horny crests,
which inhabit Southern Asia. the
Malayan islands, and Central and
Southern Africa. In most. If not all.
species the brooding female is walled
up in Il hollow tree and fed by her
mate.
She remains confined in her prison
until the eggs are hatched. and in
some species until the young birds
are able to fly. Meanwhile the mother
has become temporarily incapable of
flight, as she has moulted, or at least
shed all her. wing feathers, during her
captivity. But the male is indefatig-
able in providing for his family, and
is said to work so hard that he is re-
duced almost to a skeleton at the end
of the brooding season.
According to the theory of mlny
natives the female is imprisoned to
prevent her neglecting her duty OF
brooding. and if she has been unfaith-
full or negligent her mate closes the
little window of her cell and abandons
her to a painful death by suffocation.
The true story. perhaps, is this: The
female walls herself in so that she
cannot fall from the nest after losing
her feathers, and also TO protect her
self from enemies. The building ma
terial is her own eXcrement. This
version is less poetical than the other.
but it is probably nearer the truth. 1t
is supported by the statement that the
female liberates herself as soon as the
young birds are well grown, so that
her prison is less formidable than it
