THUMB PRINTS
OF AUTO DRIVERS
One Has to Stand a Rigid Ex-
animation to Run a Ma
chine in Argentine.

Basil Johnson, a well known British
motorist, gives an interesting account
of how a license is granted in the Ar
gentine Republic. He has recently re-
turned from Buenos Ayres. and he says
that he was submitted to all sorts of
indignities by the police officials of that
city, says ali exchange. They compelled
him to go through the regular criminal
identification code. taking thumb prints.
He also had to supply three photo
graphs of himself. The following are
among other points. he says. on which
he had to quench their thirst for knowl-
edge:
THE birthplace and Christian name
of father mother self wife and chill
dren, with ages. Names OF mother and
wife before marriage. Present places
of residence of all the above. When ]
arrived in the Argentine. and by what
ship. What relations have above in
South America. and where. My brothers
and sisters names and places of resi-
dence. What scars | have. My height
and a description of my appearance.
81 was finally told that ] might be
examined in driving in a weeks time
If the references / gave proved satis-
factory / was in due course examined
in driving, and then told that I might
get my license in a week or two. but
have since found that neither a Ii
cense for cars nor drivers are apparent
ly necessary. as i have been driving
three separate and unlicensed and I'M
numbered cars about the town for
nearly a month. and the police appear
to take no interest in the matter what
ever. am now able TO understand
why there are so few gentlemen who
drive their own cars in Buenos Ayres
as it is evidently considered a pastime
to be INDUCED in only byscriminals and
brigands of the deepest dye"

INDIAN SUCCESSFUL COACH
This Years Carlisle Team Brought
Up to High Standard by
Former Players.

One of the most successful coaches of
the present season is as near genuine
American football product as any man
who has charge of an eleven in the
east. Bemus Pierce, by skillful han
ding of the Indians. has placed them in
the front rank of the college world.
Pierce is an Indian, and therefore
very much Of ar American. His quick
insight into the possibilities of the new
rules induced him to teach his eleven a
style of play that has been compli-
mented wherever Carlisle has appeared.
There is no eleven of approximately
the same weight which has made a bet
ter showing than the Indians.
Pierce has been assisted by Frank
Hudson. the greatest drop kicker of this
year, also an Indian, and between them
and with the assistance of Carl Elan
ders, who has taught the center how to
handle himself. Carlisle has done so
well that the team is rated as one OF
the high-class organizations of the
year.

The results of the Colorado-Utah foot
ball games on Thanksgiving puts new

snip in football. For the past two weeks
The Colorado teams have been fighting
among themselves as to which might
properly claim that title Utah was not
Considered but since Thanksgiving day
Utah has as good a right to the title as
any of them. and a comparison OF scores
would in all fairness place Utah IN the
lead.

comparative scores show Utah would
have beaten the Mines had they met. and
comparative scores also show Utah played
better ball than Colorado college, except

How much whisky will be needed?
asked the guileless old lady.
About a quart, ma'am said the

So the old lady brought to the three

drank it up and cleaned the picture frames

At sunset the old lady coming to inspect

COIN CuRlOSiTiES.

A Great Variety of Materials Has
Been Used For Money.
Among the early Roman copper coins
was one that weighed nine and one
half ounces and must have proved in
convenient small change for the Ro-
man matron when she went shop
ping. China of all countries, ancient
and modern, exhibits the greatest vari-
ETY. in the matter of coins. The earli-
est money on record, about 1000 B. c.,
consisted of shells and cowries. The
cowry was used for small change,
while tortoise shell and purple cypraea
shells, the latter ranging In size from a
few inches to q foot and a half in
length, represented money Of higher
value. A decrease in the supply Of
shells and increasing prosperity called

OACHSAUNDS.
As Fighters of Badgers They Have No
Canine Equals.


The good nsstured. philosophic Ger
man dachshund has always been re-
garded as more or less of joke in
this country. Even in the fatherland
he Is a staple for jesting. His eiongat-
ed body, his crooked legs, his animated
| tail. his resemblance to a sausage
| who could fail to make some sort of
joke about q dachshund?
But the dachshund has a very seri-
Gus side and work in life.
'Dachshund" means badger dog"
Now, the badger is an animal that,
generally speaking, needs neither game
| laws nor sympathy, because he is able
| to take care of himself and fight his
own battles. Naturalists place him as
link between the bear family and
the weasels. He has about all the
strenuous characteristics of both, with
some of his own in addition.
Badger batting was formerly a bar
| barous rustic sport that drew trade to
country inns and taverns. A badger
| was placed in barrel, and the man
whose dog could bring him out got
prize A single dog seldom did it. A
full pack might-sometimes The
badger is a tremendous turnover, and
the jolly dachshund of the jokes has
been trained for centuries in Germany
to go into his burrows like ferret aft
er rats and drive the badger out or
| fight him. In some German and Aus
TRAN cities there We're formerly badger
batting Journeys In which crack dachs-
hunds entered a pit with an able
bodied badger and fought for points.
1t is said that such contests are still
held in Vienna. For spirit. endurance
and agility the dachshund has no peer
| in this work, and a bulldog pitted
against a badger would probably find
himself cutting poor figure.
So, make the jokes about the dachs
| hund if you will. but give him credit
for his prowess and for that gentle
ness. characteristic also Of the best
bulldogs, that makes both an affec-
tionate companion to man and loyal
playmate to children. Give the dachs-
hund credit. too, for intelligence. He
has it in large degree. Few dogs are
keener.-New York Press.
