Childhooo's Imagination.

(From the Philadelphia LcdserD
Early mental processes easily partahe
of the fanciful. 1t is for this reason
that many children lie. They cannot
difterentiate truth and falsehooa.
They must learn by experience the dis
tinction between reality and dream I'M

about woman who was seeking 10

Not SO Brutal" After All.

During the prevalence of the storm
against football, which now seems to
hive spent its fury and subsidized.
many lists and tables were published
showing the lawful records" of foot
ball as Il means of killing and manning
those so depraved and reckless as to
engage In it. Anyone with first
hand knowledge of the game could see
that the lists were most unfairly made
up, since the names of young boys and
even Of girls were included, and there
lists were extravagantly padded. How
ever, many newspaper readers doubt
less believed these gruesOme records to
be truthful representations of the an
nual sacrifice of life and limb OH the
altar of ''barbarous sport 1t is in
order for such people to read an arti-
Gle in the March number of the Popu-
lar Science Monthly by Prof. Edwin
G. Dexter of the University of Illinois.
Professor Dexter. being himself
somewhat skeptical as to the serious
ness of the evil, decided to keep rec
ord of and investigate each case of re-
ported injury. "This l did," he says.
"by writing personal letters to all
those reported seriously injured in a
number of the leading daily news
papers of the country" He sent out
49, letters, IS being to players on col
lege teams. To begin with. "a of these
letters were returned, marked by the
postmaster mo such person in the
directory" This suggests, if it does
not prove, that over Is per cent. of the
published casualties had no basis
whatever in fact. To the IS letters
sent to college players there came 90
replies Fourteen of these stated the
reported injury to De entirely false; in
some cases the man had not even
played in the game. OF the remain
der, "A said the injury was the mcrest
trine, and did not even necessitate
their "laying up" for a single day.
And of the remaining 90, but five, says
Professor Dexter. could be honestly
described as seriously injured.
He adds that a similar inquiry at
the end of the football season of 1907
gave almost identical results. a fur
Their exhibit furnished by the professor
recou!lts how grossly these lists were
frequently padded. In one case he
found the record of Il rubber down
at a training camp who had been acci-
dcntally drowned. Another football
casualty" consisted Of the running over
at a grade crossing OF an eN-football
player, and d third victim of the
games brutality was electrocuted
while climbing an electric light pole
to knock the ball down, it having
lodged in the wires at the top. Foot
ball is Il rough game and many thou
| sands of young men play it every fall.
but the casualty list is not what some
| uf its opponents would have us believe.
| On the contrary, it is doubtful If any
manly sport can show Il cleaner rec
ord in the matter of deaths and i'll
juries.
