No Virtues Shown by Race in Japn-
nese War or Present Crisis.
Originally the Cossacks were bandits
and they seem to have retained all
the worst qualities of that disreputable
class and to have lost all traces Of
the rough kindness which sometimes
characterlzes brigands in reality as
well as in romance.
They have by no means always sup
ported the czars, but often fought
against them, and It was not until 1914
that they gave up their brigandage and
became kind of irregular horsemen,
who, in return for grant of land
and freedom from taxation, came out
to fight when called upon and brought
their own horses, arms and equipment.
Nothing about them resembles the
smart cavalry Of other European
countries, for both they and their po-
MES are small and Insignificant and
neither is properly groomed.
Their reputation as fighters was
earned chiefly during the Napoleonic
invasion, when the French cavalry re-
peatedly charged them without effect.
Under the conditions of modern war
fare they have proved useless and
since they have been brigaded with
the regular cavalry they have lost
their chief source of strength-thelr
irregular method Of fighting.
In the war against Japan they were
a lamntable failure. On no occasion
did they live up to their reputation of
possessing the single virtue-courage
During the present crisis the Cossacks
have only proved themselves to be
bullies and towards of the lowest kind.
They respect neither age nor sex, but
destroy their unfortunate victims as
relentlessly as a hungry tiger Kills
an antelope. They appear to obey the
orders of their officers and observe
some discipline In behavior If not in
appearance, but when once set upon
their deadly task they do not appear
to be checked until they have finished

WHEN LIFE's WORTH LIVING.

When the sharp winds blow,
And the drifting snow
A cold, white world Is giving,
Then the schoolboy throng k
Chant gladstone song,
For that's when life's worth living!
When the ice forms thick
On pond and creek,
A silvery aspect giving.
Then from dawn till late
The young folks skate,
For that's when life's worth livingi
When the snow lies packed
With its crust not cracked,
The sig 4 for "bobbing" giving,
Then we pr the shout
or "Look, out! Turn out!'
For that's when life's worth liying'
When the hearth's bright glow
Tlits across the snow,
The white red tinge giving,
Then the old and gray
Recall the day
When life was worth the living!

Weird Ceremonial Attracts Negroes
of Florida and Georgia.

Weird Ceremonial Attracts Negroes
of Florida and Georgia.
In certain parts of the South voodoo
superstltlons still exist and lead, es-
peclnlly at Christmas, to quaint rites
that have marked suggestion Of saw
agery.
One of these ceremonies may be wit
messed in the swamp and forest lands
Of Florida and Georgia. 1t is appa-
rently pantomlmic representation Of
human resistance to death or of
deaths attack upon community.
This is especially u Christmas voodoc
ceremony.
1t takes place In the cabin that con-
tains the largest room, as all the ne
groes in the community are generally
on hand as witnesses.
The spectators seat themselves
around the side walls, leaving an open
space for the performers in the cen
ter of the room.
All but one Of the performers re-
main in the kitchen until ready for
their entrance. At the wall opposite
the kitchen door Il small table Is
placed and there an elderly negress,
the mistress Of ceremonies, seats her
self.
Solemnly she begins beating time on
the table with her small sticks, while
the other negroes in the room sing
doleful hymns. In the midst of this
three loud raps sound on the kitchen
door. The singing abruptly ceases,
and the audience manifests signs Of
terror. The raps sound again, follow
ed by the noise Of scufiie.
Then the presiding negress arises,
takes lighted pine knot from the
fire and starts slow, whirling dance,
chanting some weird incantation.
The kitchen door Is burst open and
three men with blankets around their
shoulders enter. AS the dancing ne
gress moves toward them, waving her
torch and chanting her prayer or
hymn, they sink before her to the
floor.
The melancholy droning and the

by raps. This time n single man en-
ters, having black sack over his
head and carrying long bone in his
hand.
This entrance causes genuine con-
sternation. All the negroes in the room
seem frenzied with fear and huddle
together along the walls. This is death
himself, and should he touch any of
those present with the bone that I'M
fortunate person would die before the
next Christmas.
AS general thing however, the
man impersonating death Is kind
hearted, and manages to trip and fall
before he reaches any Of the specta-
tors. Instantly the presiding genius
springs to her table, begins u vlgor-
GUS tattoo Of triumph and the entire
company breaks into wild hallelujah
chorus.
The power Of death thus broken, the
impersonator removes the black sack
from his head and the assemblage
plunges into n kind of prayer and ex-
perience meeting, in which chants and
vodOo dances have their place.

BALL GAME-RESULTS IN 9TH.
ER COLLEGE GAMES.

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 17.-The
football game of the season between
the big colleges was pulled off here
this afternoon before the largest
crowd that has ever attended a
game in New Haven. 1t was be
tween Princeton and Yale, the old
time enemies, and which are said
to be the two strongest teams In
the east.
Betting favored neither of the big
universities, therefore they were at
an even break, ibut Princeton was a
little the favorite because of the
great work her team has done this
season.
The battle was hard fought one
neither team being able to score
and after the end of both halves the
score stood: Princeton 0; Yale ..
