FINDING A Losr soNEREIGN

Look here, mister Did you drop this here sovereign?'
 The party addressed turned around and looked at the bootblack, as the latter held cut a sovereign in his hand.
 Why, good gracious! let me sec why, yes; you're fine boy, you are here-heres a couple of shillings for you. That's right, my boy; be honest it pays,
 So saying, the delighted man slipped the sovereign into his pocket and walked off
 And you hadn't lost the money at all?" inquired companion of the for tunate possessor, as the two comforta- bly, rested their elbows on the bar and proceeded to hide the respective ends of their noses in a couple of glasses,
 FOf course not. But you see, I gave the kid two shillings which was cer- tainly fair. And I'm just eighteen shillings to the good, exclaimed the individual, as he tossed the coin under discussion on to the counter and call- ed for change.
 The barmaid picked up the coin, gave it a careless glance, and quietly pushed it back,
 Counterfeit" she said.
 For the next minute it was so quiet you could hear the beer foam.
 And this is the highly moral city of London, bitterly exclaimed the duped man, as he passed out into the cheerless street. ''To think that the very bootblacks are dishonest!"-Tit | Bits

OLD YALE CHARACTER
 PASSES AWAY IN DEATH Jake Stroehle, Maker of Foot
 ball Equipment in the
 Seventies, Gone. HAD MANY FALL ORDERS LaT' One Was Brought Here by Bob Forbes and Was for West Point.
HAD MANY FALL ORDERS

' Yale and nearly every eastern uni versity and preparatory school will miss genial Jake" stroehle.
 For 25 years and more he has pro- vided shoes, pads, braces and all sorts of equipment for the football men and a large share of their rigging for the athletes of the other teams MT, Stroehle died last week and in his passing an old Yale figure of the type of Davy, the candy man; Murray, the hacl1man, and Pop Smith has van ished. Jake" was originally shoe maker and Yale athletes in the 70's found him the best for making special bits of equipment. They soon came to depend upon him altogether and he became the official Yale armorer.
 As Yale athletics developed, this became a big task and a position of honor and profit He was the soul of success for more than one Yale ath- letic team for his defensive armor concealed many a weakness which an opposing eleven never fathomed.
 Soon other universities came to know him and to send their orders to him and his little shoe shop on Chapel street became the headquarters for supplies for nearly all the eastern uni- versailles and academies.
 There was more than Jake" could do and he gradually became super intendent, overseeing the manufacture of the goods ordered but giving Yale his f1rst-love, special, personal atten- tion for her equipment.
 This summer the orders for fall supplies have poured in upon Jake" and have found him dropping. A mys- terious disease has wasted his genial form and his smile of other days has faded away. For weeks he has stag gered to his work, knowing full we'll what failure and delay meant to scores of knights of the gridiron all over the east.
 The last order Jake" took was that of West Point Bob" Forbes, head coach at the army grounds, and one of Yale's greatest ends, came here and delivered the order in person. Jake" promised to tackle it, but his strength was slowly slipping away and he had barely begun 1t when he took to his bed and never arose again. More than one big university head coach will wonder how to get his goods made as he wished when he learns of "Jake's" death.
 MT. Stroehle was about SO years old and blood poisoning was given as the cause of his death. He had been sought for years by the sporting goods trust, but he turned aside their over- lures. He loved New Haven too we'll to leave it, and he had amassed a comfortable fortune, 1t is said by his extensive sale of high grade goods made at his own price.
 His successor at Yale is problem atical. Johnny Mack will miss Jake" in practical way and Mike" Mur- phy, to whose aid Jake" often sprang with a brace which kept in the play an injured athlete will recall his old friend reminiscently and regret fully.

A COMPETING ROAD NEEDED.

Elsewhere in this issue we re-
nrint a news item from the New
Orleans Item of Saturday. stat
ing that the Kansas City kali
road officials have decided TO
build into New Orleans from
Leesville via Crowley and New
Iberia, work TO begin in the fall.
The construction of this ROAD
through Lafayette parish along
the line surveyed, will mean a
great deal to Lafayette. for 1t
passe at or near Milton, through
some of the best cOntrlbutory
territory of this town, and Is
certain to defect a considerable
norton of the trade to other
points.
No town, and especially a town
depending largely or exclusively
upon the surrounding country
for support, can afford to lose
anv of it's trade, and for that
reason it behooves the citizens OF
Lafayette to take measures to
counteract the certain injurious
effect the passage of this road
through the parish will! have.
Could we induce the Kansas
CITY Railroad to build to Lafa-
yette, the road would be a great
benefit, and an effort should be
made to do this. But, as we
understand the right of way
through this parish has all been
secured, to persuade them to
change will be a difficult matter.
1t remains then for us to put
ourselves in a position to hole
our trade by using all efforts tc
keep the dirt roads in fine condi
ton, affOrding ready access tt
town, and by Offering induce
ments in the way of prices botf
in buying and selling.
This last can be done by secur
ing a competing line of railway
which will give US competitive
freight rates. The saving thu
made can be used to lower tn
prices on all goods sold, and tn
reduced rate on cotton. for in

added to the price offered for col
