Shadows, he noticed an immense gath

company with several others, the tour

tacle and began to wonder at the cause
of it. An old man who was working in
a field near the place offered an expla-
nation. He said that the birds were
picking up sand to ballast themselves
in storm and that when they did 50
1t was sure sign Of approaching bad
weather. He added that on shooting
rocks after gathering of the sort he
had found that they were loaded with
sand. AS matter Of fact, the gentle
man concludes, a violent gale set in
early next morning.-Pearson's Weekly.

Mldshlpman John Miller Pardoned.

The president pardoned John Paul
Miller of Kentucky, recently convicted
of hazing at Annapolis naval academy.
The reasons assigned for the pardon
are that the accused Is one of the best
students of his class; that his aca-
demic record is excellent; that so far
as known this case is the only one of
hazing with which he has been con-
nected; that he undoubtedly commit
ted an offense against the military
laws, but that dismissal would be
harsh punishment for single instance
of misconduct involving no cruelty or
immortality on his part and no serious
hardship Or ignomony on the part Of
others.

A Striking Fact.

A young man was riding In the cab
with locomotive engineer.
Now" said the young man, shud-
derlng, suppose stage load Of chill
dren were to glide OH to the track from
that lane-what blessing it would
then be If you could stop short, In
stantly, like a man walking"
blessing" said the engineer. "Why,
young fellow, If that stage you speak
Of were to appear now, and could
stop short like a man walking l
wouldn't do 1t. Instead, I'd keep right
on and kill the kids"
"Why?"
Because it would be the more hui
name course. In one case there would
be stage load Of kids slaughtered; In
the other case there would be the
slaughter Of a trainload of people. This
train is going at the rate of forty-fiv
miles an hour, and the sudden stop
page of train going at that rate
would give the passengers precisely
the same shock that they would get
from a fall of fifty-four. feet-a fall
from a housetop."

President Eliot Condemns Football.

PreSident Ellot CONDEMNS footpall.
An unqualified condemnation of the
game of football as it is played by the
American colleges and schools is con-
tanned in the annual report of Presi-
dent Charles w. Eliot to the board of
overseers of Harvard college.
In support of his position, President
Eliot gives these reasons
Football causes an unreasonable
number of serious injuries and deaths;
violations of the rules of the game are
highly profitable and are constantly
perpetrated; much profitable foul play
escapes notice because it cannot be
detected; opportunities are offered for
several players to combine in violent
ly attacking one player; there is no
such thing as generosity between COM
batants; acts of brutality are con-
stantly committed; as a spectacle
football is more brutalizing than prize
fighting, cock fighting or bull fighting;
the game sets up the wrong kind Of
:. hero the man who uses his strength
brutally, disregarding the injuries he
may suffer or inflct on others.
In conclusion the report says:
intercollegiate and inter-scholastic
football ought to be prohibited until a
reasonable game has been formulated
and thoroughly exemplified in the prac-
tice of individual institutions. 1t is
childish to suppose that the athletic
authorities which have permitted foot
ball to become brutal, cheating, de-
moralizing game, can be trusted to re-
form it."
