The Antiquity of Football.

If 1t is not the oldest game in the
world football is not far from It, But
il bas never bccn Il game in which puny
nations played. The Greek game was
originally called phcninda, or feiuting,
later it WAS called cpiskyrus, eplkoinos,
and lastly harpaston, under which
name j, came to resemble football. The
Roman game was fOllis and was less
rough. There was Il center runner IN
harraston. around whom The game was
fought ont. One side was given the
ball: the other side chose Il center. The
side with She bali stood some distance
back from IL linc on which the center
runner was posted, and at signal the
ball WAS thrown past the middle man.

Ways OF the Porker.

The heavy porker struts around
With satisfaction IN his grunt,
And though he roots the mellow ground
For grub he doesn't have to hunt,
For corn is thrown into his sty,
Stops fill his trough UP TO the brim,
But still he never wonders why
The people are so good to him.
No dark suspicion In his mind
OF danger In the future turks
Nor does he know that he Will find
The large and busy sausage works
The fate ahead he has not learned;
He doesn't know he will be weighed
And by the agile butcher turned
To ham and bacon for the trade
Oh. piggie, YOU are like some men,
Who strut around In pomp and pride
Complacent as a picture when
The bumps they'll shortly have to ride
Some day when they're not touching
wood
They meet a con man fresh and free
And wonder why he IS 80 good.
But later IN the game they see.

yuItures and a Dead Tiger.

The vulturo is, seen at its best when
q dead tiger, brought into camp to be
skinned, Is exposed in the open. Over
head is a cloudless sky, and not a bird
to be seen in that great void by the hu-
man eye. The tigers body is thrown
from the pad to the ground, and before
the skin has been removed there above
one anu always nearing tho earth are
the vultures clrcling. poising like
things of air, now dozen Of them, In
few minutes q score or two and then
hundred strong. Then, when the
haycd carcass of the tiger is left by
those who skinned it, the vulttNes de-
scond. Down they come like feathered
thunder out of the sky, and from east
and west and north and south. the very
embodiment Of power while they
whirled aloft and in their quick de-
scent to earth, and now, as they wad-
die around that carrion beast, mis-
shapcu ghouls. whose only apparent
strength is that OF the ravenlng jaws
which tear and gorge the tigers flesh,
until within the hour naught OF that
splendid brute remains bat clean
picked skeleton. - Sir Edward Brad

American Exubernnce.

A prominent English statesman who
visited this country few years ago
was talking with friends about the ma.
tional characteristics Of Americans and
gave it as his opinion that the western
er IS the most truly humorous Of the
citizens Of the United States.
"Why." said the Briton in explanu-
ton, "a relative OF mine who frequent
ly visits the States for purposes Of
sport tells me that he was entranccd
by the reply made to him by the pro-
prietor Of q hotel in Nebraska when he
asked if there were any quail in the
vicinity.
"'Quail" exclaimed the proprietor.
I should say so! Why. they've got to
be regular nuisance round here. My
cook complains that she can't throw
piece Of toast out of the window with
out four or five fat quail fighting to see
which shall get on it"" - Woman's

Insensible to Pain.
A mothers love for her children is al.
ways being illustrated, not only in
books. but in real life. \ true story Is
told Of lady whose baby was very i'll
and who sat watching the child with
absorbed attention, every instant fear
ing another convulsion and praying for
deliverance from it. At her side stood
an older child, who had stolen into the
room unobscrved and win, was trying
to prick the little black spots in NAM
mas muslin sleeve with needle he
had found. Presently the father came
in, and the little child was seen and
sent away.

whispered the gentleman to his wife
when at last they turned to each other
and smiled their thankfulness that the
baby had fallen asleep.

She put up her hand and found that
the thin muslin sleeve was soaked
with blood. The little boy had become
so absorbed in his sport that he had

her terrible anxiety had not felt the

Huskins Song.

Forth in the frosty weather
The merry huskers go
At early morn where waits the corn,
The yellow corn, heigh no,
Impatient to be gathered I'm.
Down through tho long straight row.
The clatter of the wagons
Is music to the ear;
The frosty track gives echoes back
In tones far heard and clear.
The steady humping corn ears tell
Tie fullnos So OF the year.
The huskcrS with each other
In friendly contest vie;
The plump ears fall on throw boards
tall
As eagerly they fly.
And through the air n yellow streak
IheS seem uneo><t>>--s,s.-A- -,

runs
In torrents through your veins.
So let tho frosty morning air
Ring out with your refrains.
