SIDE TALKS OF FOOTBALL.

Ittner of Minnesota is no SLOUGH as

breaking up plays before they get

1t looks as though no game were
safe where the forward pass and on

chances for butting in and spelling
the plays.
Bull is at Yale just because he is a
drop kicker, or in other words-per-
haps plainer-Yale needs a drop kick

provisions in that respect.
1t begins to look as though Waldo
Pierce would get one of the vacant

all the requisites of player and all
he lacks is the aggressiveness.

CHINA THE LAND OF DUCKS.
Staple Article Of Food for Residents
Of Celestial Empire.

There are more ducks in China
than in all the rest of the world
China, literally, is white with these
birds, and day and night the country
resounds with their metallic and
scornful voices.
Children herd ducks on every road,
on every pond, on every farm, on
every lake, on every river. There is
no back yard without its duck house.
There is no boat, little or big, with
out it's duck quarters.
Even in the cities Of China ducks
abound. They dodge between the
coolies legs They fit squawking out
of the way of the horses. Their In
dignant quack will not unseldom
drown the roar of urban commerce.
All over the land there are great
duck Matching establishments, many
of them of a capacity huge enough
to produce $4,000 young ducks every
year.
The Chinese duck is extremely ten
der and delicate-the best tame duck
for eating in the world. Duck among
the Chinese is the staple delicacy:
1t is sailed and smoked like ham or
beef, and duck eggs are eaten as chick
en- eggs are in America.

Forgot His Incog.

Chancellor James r. Day, of SYRIA
cuse university, was discussing at a
dinner his edict against theater-going
and the use of tobacco by students
holding scholarships.
Scholarships" said Chancellor Day,
ARE for poor students, and he who
smokes and visits the theaters may
be poor, but he is not living up to the
part.
"We should all live up to our parts.
To disguise ourselves, to travel incog-
nito, is never WISE To travel incog-
nito is too often associated with some
thing disgraceful Witness the story
of the tramp, who, at the magistrates
early morning hearing, did not an
swer to his name, sitting absently in
his seat as the name was shouted four
or five times. When matters finally
righted themselves, the magistrate
said, angrily:
why didn't you answer to your
name?
Beg pardon, yer honor, but I for.
got wot name guy last night replied
the tramp.
'What?' Numbered the magistrate.
Didn't you give your right name?'
No, yer honor said the tramp
I'm travelin' incog.'"

Four-Footed Thieves.

In Winchester, England, a grocer
began to miss money from his till,
and set his wife to watch. After two
weeks the wife was not able to de-
tect the thief, though money was
stolen almost every day. There were
two clerks in the store, and the
grocer finally called them thieves
and discharged them.
When two others had taken their
places the money continued to dis
appear, and the case was given to the
police. An officer who hid under the
counter solved the problem. He
found bits of paper representing
about $50 that the mice had made
nests of. They had entered the till
through a hole in the back and taken
the bills one at time.
The two clerks who had been dis
charged for dishonesty brought suit
for damages, and the other. day the
grocer was compelled to pay them
$500 each.

one of the new chiffon velveteens with

For the evening gowns it is notice
able that chiffon is dismissed from ia

Leather belts hav yielded some
measure of their popularity to belts

The variety of blouses does not

have her shirt-blouse made to fasten
down the back, while the slender may
fasten it in the front, but it is more
possible under the former conditions
to regulate its lines to conceal the too
eXuberant curve.
Talking of exuberant curves re-
minds me of one of the latest styles
in hats; these~are tightly, covered with
black satin, with scrolls doing duty
as a brim cut into four equal sections.
1t is entirely picturesque, if somewhat
too peculiar for my personal taste,
which inclines rather to the small
folded toque or beaver, with a glace
crown and bunch of cocks feathers

thing in feathers is the outspread os.

broad with waving tail, an article
of luxury and considerable grace.

kAIsER's DIGNITY WAS HURT.
Offended by Shoes of One OF His Con-
suIar Agents.

The enthusiasm of the good Norwe-
gians for Queen Alexandra is the
more remarkable as, in the matter of
crowned heads, they have some ex-
cuse for affecting to be blase.
The German emperor, of course, is
regular frequenter of the fjords, but
he allows no liberties to be taken
with his sacred person. On one occa-
sion when the HohenzoIlern anchored
off little town, the German consular
agent, as in duty bound, went aboard
to pay hfs respects; but, not being
possessed of a uniform, it did not ap-
pear to him necessary to appear at
midday in the comic opera kit of
evening dress on board the vessel.
He therefore presented himself in
an attire that compromised the official
correctness of frock coat by brown
boots. His majesty, however, resent
ed the informality, called the atten-
ton of the consul general at Bergen
to the solecism, and announced his
intention of ceasing to honor the
place with any further visit.-London

LlssEY HOMESTEAD, NEAR susHy RUN.
lN
Built In 1857.

Highlanders could wheel into the ra-
vine unseen and form for flanking
attack, and two companies could be
swung around on the other side for
like purpose. Then the defending
force seemed to be giving way, and
the Indians, with tomahawks uplifted,
swarmed into the central space, free
from the cover of the woods. Sudden
ly terrific fire poured in upon them
from three sides, and they were
moved down by the score.
Their yells of triumph were now
changed to bowls of alright, and in a
perfect rout they deserted the field
and their dead and wounded. The
whites followed them for a time, to
give the impression of vigorous pur-
suit, though they were too far spent
to go far. The Indians left more tkan
60 of their warriors dead on the field,
and bloody trails showed that many
more had been wounded
The victory was complete, being
nothing less than the defeat of the
forces that had been besieging Fort
Pitt for weeks. The Indians did not
attempt to renew the siege, but re-
tired beyond the Ohio. Fort Pitt was
saved and the oversweeping tide of
savage invasion was turned back, saw
ing thousand miles of border from
total destruction.

WHEN CUBA WAS FOR SALE.
Offered to France for 100000 IN
time of Louis Philippe.

1t is not generally known that
Cuba very nearly became French
Colony in the reign of Louis Philippe,
for Spain, being without means of
raising money, Queen Christina Of
fered some of the principal Spanish
colonies for sale.
Secret negotiations were carried on
at the Tulleries between Senior Cam
puzano, the Spanish ambassador;
Senior Aguado, the banker; Prince de
TaIleyrand, and King Louis Philippe,
and the first article of the treaty, by
which Spain was to sell ( Cuba to
France for 100000 francs, or So

But the second article, relating to
Porto Rico and the Philippines, broke
off the negotiations, for Spain asked
$4,000, 900, whereas France would Of
fer only s1,400,00O, King Louis Phil
ippe asserting that the acquisition OF
the Philippines might very easily in
volve him in a war with England.
1t is significant that in those days
neigther party paid the slightest at
tention to what the United States
might think; but the Spaniards must
now regret that they did not accept
for it would have saved them many
millions in the ensuing go years.

be transported in wagons, being left
finally at Fort Ligonier. The little
army also carried large quantity of
stores, and drove herd of cattle and
a flock of sheep ahead of it.
At Fort Ligonier nothing could be
learned of the fate of the fort at
the forks of the rivers. All scouts
sent out in the direction for days
had either been murdered or driven
back, and the country seemed to be
swarming with redskins. Taking $50
of his most effective men and
portion of the supplies, Bouquet
pushed forward in an effort to gain
Fort Pitt, SO miles ahead. The road
led through a narrow defile in the val
ley of Turtle creek, and not wishing
to pass it by day, with its perils OF
an ambush, Bouquet went into camp
on barren hill in the early afternoon.
His plan was to slip through under
cover of darkness. The place was
near little stream called Bushy Run,
gagement there took its name from
the stream.
Bouquet judged rightly, for the In
dians, who had been appraised of his
coming by their runners, had with
drawn most of their forces from the
siege of Fort Pitt and were hiding
among the hills near at hand. Their
exact number has never been learned,
but they greatly outnumbered the
force under Bouquet, probably two or
three to one. The whites had hardly
got settled in camp when, with. fear
full yells, the savages charged upon
them. The camp was taken by sur
prise, but the soldiers and woodsmen
quickly formed and hurled themselves
upon the foe, discharging their guns
in their faces, and then making a bay
onet charge upon them. The Indians
scattered and disappeared, but were
soon pouring in CALLING fire again
from places of hiding. Thus the bat
tie, continued during all of the hot
afternoon tit was August S, 1859. No
sooner would the Indians be routed
from one place than they would skulk
to another and fire from there, always
under cover.
At nightfall it was a drawn battle.
Bouquet fell back to the hill of his
encampment, and there the long night
was passed in wakefulness by all and
intense suffering by most OF the
men. Twenty-Five dead had been left
upon the field, and So desperately
wounded men were on the hilltop in

RUGBY FOOTBALL NOT
POPULAR In FAR WEST
Game Called a Failure and Talks Of
Boycott by College Students
Is Spread.

Football coaches in the middle west
have been watching the course of Rug
by football at the universities of Le-
land Stanford and California, i'm
posed on the students of those institu-
lions by their presidents and the ath-
letic councils.
From Berkeley, CAL, comes story
to the effect that the Rugby game
has been a failure and that the stu
dents will boycott it after this year if
it is foisted upon them another seoson.
For the balance of this season, it is
said, the students will support the
teams, for they are made up of fellow
students, and it Is desired to give the
new game fair show. But after. the
season ends they will refuse to play
again, will denounce the game and
will petition President Benjamin Ide
Wheeler Of the University of Califor-
mia, who caused the introduction of
the game, to erase it from the calen-
dar of sports of both California and
Stanford. 1t is said that if DIR. Wheel
er refuses to listen to this petition the
players will lay down their football
toys and refuse to appear next sea-
son, and that they will be backed by
a vast majority of the students at the
two institutions.
There has been talk and some eff
fort to introduce the Rugby game
among the members of the big nine"
in place of the present gridiron game,
and for this reason the success or fail
ure of the attempt in California has
been watched with more than ordinary
interest in this part of the country.
But the attempts here to introduce the
game have not been successful and
now that both California and Stanford
are preparing to turn it down it is
hardly likely to be urged in this quar-
ter.

couple of schools when was in Cali

mer coach of Northwestern, and we'll
known football official, "but cannot
say it struck me as the kind of game
we would want to substitute for our
game of football. Our American game,
to my mind, is greatly superior to
Rugby in building up young man."

THE HEROIC STRUGGLE
AT BUSRY RUN
Story of an Incident of the Indian Campaigns
of Our Colonial Days.

Nothing in American history is of
greater interest or furnishes us more
romance and adventure during our
early days than the struggles of the
civilization of the east as it advanced
into the Indian lands of the west.
Among these historic battles that of
Bushy Run stands out prominently.
The settlers along the western from
tier had hoped for peace at the close
of the French and Indian war, and
theirs would probably not have been
a vain hope but for that greatest of
Indian leaders, Pontiac. His elo-
quence brought all the tribes of the
western border together for one
mighty blow at the white settlers. At
the first blow struck all the forts of
the frontier except Niagara, Detroit
and Pitt fell, and it is with the relief
of the latter that we have to deal.
Fort Pitt was recognized as an inn
portant strategic point, and it was
determined to send an expedition
from the east for its relief. Col.
Henry Bouquet, brave Swiss, but
serving the British king, was chosen
to the command. He started with
about 600 men, the remnants of two
regiments just returned from an ex-
hausting service in the West Indies,
and added about 100 rifiemen to his
force on the way
The soldiers were so broken by
their arduous and wearing service in
the tropics that they were fit only for
garrison duty. and before the jour-
ney was completed 60 of them had to
