was so large that no one, however
strong, could quite throw stone from
one end to the other" and it was about
half as wide. Twenty. thirty or forty
persons could participate on a side the
number being regulated by the size of
the available field. Goals We're set up
at either end. No one was permitted to
strike the ball with the outstretched
arm or with anything he might carry
in his hand. Nevertheless he was per
mitted to "strike the ball with what,
ever part of his body that he pleased"
If the ball came rolling toward him
he was allowed to kick it, the infer
ence being that if it We're lying still lie
could not do so. The field was divided
by a transverse line Into two equal
parts, and in the middle lay the ball
The players were chosen, those who
were going to make up the opposing
parties, by means Of colors. by which

the signal was given by the roll of the
drum or the blast of a trumpet play
er rushed forward, one who had been
chosen by lot to be the first to kick the
ball with his foot. This action was I'M
derstood to be the beginning Of the
contest so that after it it was permit
ted to no one from either party to seize
it, to strike it and to drive it as victor
over the goal. It was perhaps from
the method Of beginning the game that
it was called football
These Italian games had their origin
in the ancient pastimes Of the Greeks
and Romans, and in reality approach
nearer to the modern idea of football
than do the beginnings Of the game in
northern countries. Football is believ-
ed by some authorities to have been a
portion Of the worship of the Celtic
sun god, one Of the rites attendant on
the celebrative ceremonies. Some also
hold strong belief that it's original
form was introduced into England by
the Romans.-Dennie P. Meyers in
Outing Magazine.

The sanakuir.

There are weather prophets and
weather prophets, but there is a stone
which it is asserted unfailingly fore
tells changes in the weather. This
stone was found in Finland many
years ago by an explorer and has been
watched by scientists with great inter-
est. It is known as the samakuir and
presents a white notified appearance in
sunshine, gradually turning from gray
to black as rainstorm approaches.
The samakuir is made up of clay, inter
and rock salt. In dry weather the salt
in the stone is prominent, but when the
air is filled With moisture the salt alb
serbs the moisture and turns black,
thus acting as barometer.

The prestige coming to MIR. Somer-
vile from the recent action Of the
supreme court in sustaining his inner
itance tax law and the record made in
the collection Of taxes from foreign
corporations, should be of such i'm
portance to the people of this state that
they should recognize his worth in
some Office greater than that he now
has. He has doubly earned the right
to ask for the Office of congressman or
any other Office in the gift of the people
of the state.

If, as is asserted by economists, in
times of greatest prosperity there is
the largest per cent of corruption,
then it is not necessary to say that the
present age is one of the most pros
porous for many generations, but the
truth of the matter is this nation is
getting very large and the avenues
open for corruption are numerous and
widely scattered, SO that in proportion
to things as they were in past genera
tiens, it is doubtful if the world is
much more corrupt than at any other
time.

Prof. Adams, the statistician Of the
Interstate commerce commission, after
a long investig alton. reports that the
aggregate amount paid railroads for
mail carriage could in fairness be re-
duced $4,000, 900 a year. The average
railway charge for mail is II cents
per ton per mile, against an average
of l cent for freight. For carrying
mail from New York to Buffalo per
hundredweight the railway charge is,
or was few years ago, Sl.5S, against
80 cents for freight and 63 cents for
express matter. The habit of blaming
rural free delivery for the postal de-
felt leaves out several essential con-
siderations.

One of the prominent citizens of this

One of the prominent citizens of this
city suggests that it is time the form,
OF holding court was changed and thai
instead of the justices there should be
a municipal judge. He claims that in
this manner the county would be saved
considerable expense as many of the
little cases that are carried up to the
district court would be definitely settled
in municipal jurisdiction. However
this may be, there should be some way
to keep many of the unimportant and
trivial cases Off the calendar. Tt is
claimed by some that the municipal
judgeship is more expensive than the
method of justices Of the peace, but
Sleepy Eye seems to get along by the
former method and Redwood Falls,
for the last fifteen years has had a
municipal judge, and the combined
population Of these two places is
scarcely less than New Ulm The time
is not far distant when the city will
have to have new charter and at that
time it would not be out of the way to
consider change in the form of legal
procedure for the city.

IT Congressman McCleary is sincere

majority of the people of his district
are away off in their calculations.
Some are even so rude as to say that
McCleary's actions have something
that smacks of the graft, but none of
the papers condemning him have been
bold enough to charge him with that
sin, until it is shown that the gentle
man is in the pay of the trusts the
people of the state must give him

sents himself he would be second to

There seems to be more or less ex-

the fact that the commission which
had charge of the building of the state
capitol building is able to report that
there was no graft in the transaction.
In view of the fact that graft is SO pre-
valent it may possibly be excused, but
it is iamentable 1t the age has got to
that situation where honesty is so rare
that it seeks commenda alton. Honesty
should be a virtue that needs no re-
ward.
