A Clever Imitation.

A certain Cleveland attorney, says the
Cleveland Plain Dealer, has two bright
little children. They are quick at imita-
ton, and have talent for making up
games in which they cleverly burlesque
their elders. A few days ago their mother
found they were playing doctor" The
younger child was the patient, with head
wrapped in y towel and the older, the
physician, with silk hat and cane. The
mother, unseen by the little ones, listened
at the doorway:
II feels awful had,' said the patient.
"We'n fix all that" said the doctor
briskly. "Lemme see your tongue"
Out came the tiny red indicator.
"Hum! hunt coated!" said the doctor
looking very grave indeed.
Then without word of warning, the
skilled physician hauled off and gave the
patient smart slap in the region OF the
ribs. -
"Ouch I" cried the sufferer.
"Feel. any pain therel" inquired the
doctor.
EYES," said the patient.
"1thought So" said the healer. "How's
the other side?"
"It's all right" said the patient edging
away.
Thereupon the doctor produced small
bottle filled with what looked like either
bread or mud pills, and placed it on the
table.
"Take one of these pellets" said the
physician, "dissolvei in water, every seven
teen Enthusiastically"
GLOW long mus I take 'em?" groaned
the patient.
"Till you die," said the doctor. "Good
morning"

T0mmy's Excuse.

Tommy was absent from school for
one entire day. But he brought note
of excuse the next morning which would
prove that he had been detained at home
legitimately. The writing was hardly
that of feminine hand, and the note ap.
peared to have been written laboriously.
Furthermore, the ,penmanship seemed
to be strangely familiar to the teacher.
The note read as follows:
"Dear Teacher-Please excuse Tony
for not comeing to school yestidy, he
couldn't come. tore my pants. Yours
truley, Mrs. Mulligan"

living from hand to mouth, largely by
borrowing from his friends. he took to
opium and committed several offences,
which put him under the ban of the law.

didn't like a penalty that Referee
Brown inflicted on them. Except for
this, the conduct of both teams was
sportsmanlike.
The much touted center of the Pueb-
10 team utterly failed to live up to his
reputation. The man who had made
the Colorado Springs High School
quarter tumble repeatedly never once
caused tumble from Hurlburt to Wy
lie, while the Canon center and guards
cost Central more than one expensive
tumble by their aggressive work on
defense.
There was little to choose in the
head work displayed by both teams.
Central carried the ball farther from
scrimmage, while in the kicking de-
partment Wylie and Guthrie greatly
excelled the Central punters.
This is Canon's first defeat this
season, and considering the fact that
Central has only had one defeat, ITO
at the hands of the Springs Terrors,
the local high school feels very well
satisfied.
