4 MODERN COCK FIGHT.

An engineer on one of our lake
steamers was great on cock fight
He kept well-trained rooster, and
fought him at every port between
Buffalo and Chicago.
Hearing of a crack bird of the pit
at Windsor, over went the engineer
with a half a dozen friends, to see
and rejoice over the sudden demise
of John Crepaud's celebrated game
cock.
The birds We're let loose. and at the
first blow of the little Frenchman's
bantam, the engineers bird was num-
bered among the things that had been
he was dead Greatly mortified
and astonished was the engineer: he
left the field crestfallen, and amid the
laughter of his compeers.
"Egad," said he, III try him again."
On his first trip to Buffalo he bought
fullgrown eagle. cut his feathers
into shape, twisted up his tail, rooster
fashion. fashioned a cocks comb on
his crown, and otherwise metamor-
phosed him into a gamecock, brought
him up to the city again rallied his
friends. put his bird into a bag, and
over they went for another light.
''Parlez vous" brought out his bird
again. certain of success. and placed
him readyfor action. The engineer
took his out of the bag-they slowly
approached each other-the bantam.
STOPPING and picking. as he advanced
to the assault, while the engineers
walked boldly on. with his head erect,
beak open, and an eye of fire tina,
never blinked in the midday sun; the
bird of Jove seized the gallant bantam.
and, with beak and claws, tore him to
pieces. and ate him up. to the utter
astonishment of the crowd.
The little Frenchman danced all
sorts of figures. and cried out
'Sacre ventre bleu, me nevaire see
one roostaire like dat; he eat him up
mon ban chicken. Vat one crooked
nose your sacre dam Yankee roost-
aires got; fight no more wild de Yam
kee roostaire." Ever since that, the
engineer has been considered the king
of the cock pit in the West.

GENTLE ART OF LYING.

Very few of US. indeed, are exempt
from the charge of direct lying. Not
to mention the strategic lies told to
enemies in time of war, to criminals,
to sick persons and lunatics, as to
winch pages upon pages of casuistry
appear in the older works on moral
science, there are what may be
termed the lies lubricant, wrung from
us by etiquette and good breeding. If
the amenities of life were not pre-
served through the gentle art of lying,
society could scarcely continue as
happy family: We should all have to
live in separate cages. The best of
us will tell direct lies on trivialities
where politeness is imperative. Wher-
ever practicable, however, the spirit
OF advocacy prevails. We say what
ever we can truthfully, and tastfully
pause while the hearers self-love and
imagination fill out generally agree
able impression. Family relationships,
even more markedly than business or
social relations, exemplify the univer-
sal attitude of advocacy. Mr.. Round
about says: Go to Browns house
and tell Mrs. Brown and the young
ladies what you think of him, and see
what welcome you will get. In like
manner. let him come to your house
and tell your good lady his candid
opinion of you, and see how she will
receive him." No one save an I'M
speakable cad would tolerate sighting
language in his presence concerning
his wife Such is the conventional law
as to spouses, parents, children, blood
relations in general, even intimate
friends.-The September Atlantic.

Saws Bars With Irvine Strings
How Licy Savage Noted Counterfeiter Came Near De-
ivering Himself From Government Prison.

One OF the most remarkable stories
OF an attempted escape from Jail was
brought to Grand Forks yesterday by
personal friend OF John NJ. Card, OF
the government secret service, who

But while Licky's actions aroused
such suspicious that he was watched
more carefully than anybody else in
the penitentiary, nothing was found
that would indicate he was not a
model prisoner until one day last
week.
EARLY in the morning one of the
guards moving on the upper tiers
looked down and saw pair of hands
moving back and forth around one of
the bars of cell door. He called to
Il guard who was making his rounds
on the lower tier, and he soon caught
sight of the hands himself and found
they belonged to Licky.
Warden Wersner was notified at

COLLEGE FRATERNITIES
Founded Under Strange Conditions,
Have Solved DormitOry Problem.

In August, 1926, William Morgan, a
Royal Arch Mason, who had threaten
ed to expose the secrets of Masonry,
was abducted from Canandaigua, N. Y.
Vigilance committees traced him and
his abductOrs to Fort Niagara, ana
thence in boat to Lake Ontario,
where he finally disappeared, his body
never being found.
Amid the most intense excitement
the anti-Masonry party was formed
1t was dominant in New York for ~
years, and affected national elections,
even preventing Henry Clay's nomin-
alton for the presidency because he
was Mason. The feeling against
secret societies ran so high that more
than 5000 Masonic lodges gave up
their charters.
Yet 1t was during this very time and
in the New York colleges, says the
Outlook, that the older college secret
societies excepting the Phi Beta
Kappa. which till then had been a
secret society, and Kappa Arpha)
were founded, as follows: In Union
college, Sigma Phi, 1927; Delta Phi,
1927; Psi Epsilon, 1893; Chi Psi, 1s41;
in Hamilton college, Alpha Delta Phi,
1892.
These societies were at first strictly
forbidden and known members were

honors. Pins were us"a.lv worn in
side the vesi pocket. az: meetings
were held in secret.
In 1882 Phi Beta Kappa was forced
by Harvard's president to relinquish
its secret features. Yet it was during
this period that the fraternities adopt
ed the constitutions, policies of admin
istration and tradition which have
since largely governed and hampereu
them.
After some years the secret societies
were tolerated and even recognized,
although earnestly opposed by many
who believed that they were inherent
ly wrong or that their growth would
kill the college debating societies.
During this second period simple lodge
rooms were hired in some business
block, Or even in the attic OF hotel.
Their infrequent conventions con-
sisted of a public address, and probably
a poem, by prominent alumni. and
private banquet. The active members
met as a body only once a week-on
lodge nights. Although the colleges
were constantly asking for large sums
to build dormitories, no one dreamed
that the fraternities would largely
solve this problem by housing their
own members.
About 25 years ago the fraternities
entered their third or present stage

recognized and influential. They own

A Race for Blood.

Bismarck Tribune: For some time
back there has been considerable
jealous rivalry between A. T. Patter-
son and John Satterlund over the re-
markable speed developed by their re-
spective automobiles. Owners of
other machines and the public gener-
ally have acknowledged the super
iority OF the Patterson and Satter-
lund machines and everybody has TAX
en- off their caps to these two gallant
chauffeurs. Bad blood has been brew
ing between them for some time and
Yesterday it took shape in a PROPOSE
ton for a formal test of speed and
the greatest and most interesting race
ever pulled off in this section is now
scheduled between these gentlemen
and their machines. Saturday. Oct. 13.
at 10 a. IN. The race is to be from the
mill to and around Fort Lincoln and
back. the time limit being one hour.
Mr.. Satterlund wanted the limit en-
tended to twelve hours, but Mr. Pat
terson said he feared the King"
wanted to take advantage of the night
and have an OK team drag in his ma
chine. The winner is to take the los

Satterlund has ordered several more
cylinders for his auto and will win the
race or die in the attempt.

man himself was searched SO carefully
that 1t was impossible for him to con-
ceal any contraband article about his
person.
While this was going on Lucky
stood there smiling. Once. as one OF
the guards tun,bled some books from
shelf and piece Of string tied to
two pieces Of wood fell to the floor,
licky remarked. You're gettin' warm
ZIP to this time Licky's cell door
had not been examined. Baffled in
his search Of the cell. the warden
turned to it. In Il minute he had come
across l4icky's work. although it
would have passed unnoticed IL the
guard had not seen Licky's hands
moving back and forth.
Two of the steel bars had been
sawed-one OF them so nearly through
that it was held only by silver of
steel at top and bottom. Work on
the other bar had not progressed SO
far. Warden Wersner took hold of
the first bar. twisted it sharply and
1t broke.
Savage. you're smart one.' said
the warden. but you know you don't
go back into this cell again, SO you
might as we'll tell ME where those
saws are
81 had no saws answered Licky.
That's what did it with and he
picked up piece of braided cord with
a little handle of wood at either end.
1T took long time for Licky to
convince the warden III guards that
he was telling the trut 81. in fact. they
didn't believe his story until he
showed them how. with a piece of
Irvine, he could cut steel. He made
one OF those saws in front OF them.
and in a half hour had cut an eighth
of an inch into steel that was sup
posed to be so hard that it would turn
the edge of the sharpest tools.
This was Licky's method. He gath
cred pieces of string and yarn of all
sorts and braided and plated them
tightly until he had strong cord
This he soaked repeatedly in water
until it was hard and tough. Over this
he smeared oil and then rolled it in
mixture of steel filings and dust
from the emery wheels that he had
secured at the tool shops.
He said that it took him two weeks
to cut the first bar by drawing this
to and fro across the steel, but by ex-
perimenting he improved his I'M
provised saw, and he had figured he
could have completed the work in two
more nights. With two of the bars
cut. he could have squirmed through
the opening and reached the corridor.
He decline dto say what he intended
to do after that, but his silence Oh
this matter leads the officials to be-
lieve that he had definite plan, which
he has not yet abandoned.
This simply proves that as man adj
vances in making devices for his own
protection, the criminal also pro-
crosses. Bessemer steel was selected
for the bars of the government prison
because it was thought to be the best
in the world, yet here man with
some filings and string cuts it like
butter. you might say. Now the build
ers of jails and penitentiaries will
have to get new material and the
prisoners hunt up another unique
tool"

4 DOUBLE PIONEER.

Bismarck Tribune: Thomase f.
Cooper OF Grafton, was in the city
Sunday on his way back from Ana
conda, Montana. where he attended
the reunion Of the Montana Pioneer
association. Mr.. Cooper is not only
the father of Grafton, this state, but
was secretary of the meeting of Last
Chance Gulch miners in November,
1864. which decided upon the name
Helena for the camp, and it was for
the purpose of clearing up some of the
doubts on the early history of Mon
tana that he attended the meeting of
the Pioneers. Mr.. Cooper trecked
over what was then known as the
Great American Desert. now North
Dakota, in the spring of 1864, crossing
the Missouri river at Fort Rice, and
had a strenuous experience among the
searchers in the sands of Last Chance

The varsity and the scrubs lined up
for a twenty-five-minute scrimmage
this afternoon and much time was de-
voted to the outside kick. Only twice,
however. was the varsity able to re-
tain the ball on their play. On the
whole the work of the varsity was
ragged. showing lack of practice.
Men have been switched about $50

quainted with their positions. The
varsity scored only once in the %
minutes, and that was on a fifty-yard
run by Schenck. who begins to look
good for half-back.
There is a nice race for quarter be-

Madison, Wis, Oct 4.-The first
football blacklist" of the season at
Wisconsin was received by Coach
Hutchins from the faculty tonight and
is said to contain nearly dozen
names, among them being those of
two of the best men on the squad.
The reason given for the ineligibility
of the blacklisted" men is understood
to be deficiency in their studies Some
OF them will probably be able to make
up their scholastic work before the
season is very far advanced. Coach
Hutchins declined to make public the
names on the list.
The squad was put through another
fast practice on the lower campus
today. The men were divided into
three groups and worked at passing
the ball. catching it, falling on it,
punting. charging, breaking through
and other rudimentaries.
Springer, Il good little athlete, who
was chief pole vaulter on the track
team last spring, was new addition
to the squad today. He weighs 1856
and is out for quarter back. Pug
gy" Wright. the most promising
4udil utlch, Was FeleSate0 TO the
second team today. 1t is not known
whether he is affected by the ''black-
list" or not. Ike I.orenz was at quar-
ter on the first team. Both were men,
bers OF last years champion fresh
man team.
Miller was at full back. He and
LOrenz tried some quarter back kicks.
but they were not particularly sue
cessful. Stiehm was a center on the
first team, and Captain Gelbach ana
Messmer were on either side of him.
A score of men were tried in other
positions, particularly in the back
field.
Coach Hutchins has formulated a
plan for intercollegiate football among
the different colleges in the UNIVERSE
ty, and candidates for these teams
will begin practice tomorrow. Each of
the principal colleges of the univers-
ity will have team and will contest
for trophy to be selected within Il
few days. The colleges that will have
teams are Letters and Science. Law,

ture.
