Sept. 2sth at Missouri Valley. and
won by score of to 0. The two
teams were quite evenly matched as
to weight. Denison having slight a
advantage. Both teams fought des-
perativeiy on defense and neither side
could keep the ball for any length of
time. Denison scored on a fumbled
kick. Scarf kicked the. Missouri
Valley fullback, fumbled the ball on
his own ten yard line and Andy
Daniels grabbed it and carried it over
for touch down. Scarf kicked goal.
At the beginning of the second
halt. Paul Tranter sprained his ankle
returning the kick off and Vernon
Myers took his place. About the
middle of the half Missouri Valley
was held for downs near their own
goal. and tried to punt. but the ball
was passed too high. and Vernon
Myers broke through and got it. and
made another touchdown. The
referee made mistake though and
blew his whistle as Vernon seized the
ball, 80 he refused to allow the
touchdown.
The game was remarkably clean
one and only two penalties were inflict-
ed; one of five yards for an off side
play by Missouri Valley. and one of
20 yards. for hurdling by Denison.
There was none of that squabbling
and quarreling among the players.

little Annette.

After that Annette flirted more reck-

vered sentimentally.
The road led them in and out and in
and out between lines of tall bushes,
and there was stretch of woodland
where the trees met overhead and
where it was so quiet that all the for
est seemed to listen as the lecturer on
pedagogy leaned over and kissed An
nette.
"Oh,' cried Annette with her eyes
blazing, ''how dare your
You might have expected it," said
the lecturer on pedagogy calmly; you

but no gentleman would do such a
thing" said Annette.
Most gentlemen do" said the lee
turer on pedagogy and leaned over to
do it again.
Annette gave a little Cry, and just
then out from the bushes stepped the
angel child.
He stood in the middle of the road,
barring the way, and he looked straight
at Annette.
MAY l take you home?" he asked,
ignoring the lecturer on pedagogy.
"Oh, if you will" she walled and
held out her hands to him.
II Shall take her home" said the lee
turer on pedagogy, frowning darkly.
"Stand out of the way"
But the angel child set his shoulders
like a young giant.
II don't think we will argue the
case" he said. II shall take her
home.'
And the lecturer on pedagogy, TAX
ing in the length and breadth and
strength of the tall young man, NUT
tered an invective and rode away
alone.
Annette was sobbing with her face
in her horses name.
The angel child touched her hair
with tender fingers.

But Annette sobbed ON. II didn't

Annette's eyelashes fluttered up from

Mr.. Davis urges the establishment
in Washington Of public baths to be
open the entire year. These, he says,
are Civic necessity" as is shown by
the fact that practically every large
city in Germany, England, Switzer-

baths, some sufficiently large to ac-

FIGHT WITH SAVAGE LION.
Adventurous Hunter Paid for Sport
With His Life.

From the Sudan comes the report of
a fierce fight between wounded lion
and a government engineer, which
ended in the death of the latter, an
Englishman named c. H. Salmon.
Salmon while on board the steamer
Nehemiah, between Fashoda and
Melut, on the White Nile, discovered
lion among the bushes on the shore
Taking gun, he went ashore asking
those on board not to follow him. He
shot twice at the lion, one bullet TAX
ing effect in the lions shoulder and
the other in the abdomen. After a
struggle of few minutes, which
seemed to be his death agony, the lion
lay mOtionless. Salmon approached
and the lion pounced upon him, and
to maui him. The engineer held the
lions neck and endeavored to draw
his knife, but before he succeeded the
lion had bitten his thigh and crushed
his toes. He gave the beast a stab in
the eyes. This Infatuated the animal,
Wnlcn snapped at the mans hand, bad

pain of the knife thrust, however was
too much for the animal and he start

now arrived upon the scene. They
killed the exhausted lion with
out much difficulty and carried
the unfortunate hunter to the boat,
which then sailed with all possible

ONIONS GROWING. IN FAVOR.
Aromatic Vegetable Very Much in Or
der for Lunch Baskets.

Surely the famous London divine
who has sorrowfully declared that
more fortunes have been wasted in
dining out than in any other way must
approve of the simple luncheons which
society packs into its baskets when
whirling away on an auto tour or some
other pleasure excursion. In fact, a
well known woman was heard to say
when giving orders as to what should
fill a lunch basket which was to be
taken along on fishing trip the other
day, please have Is or 20 onion sand
wiches put in" They evidently struck
the waiter as something new, for he
ventured to ask, did you say oniCn
sandwiches" Eyes, put thin slices Of
Bermuda onions between slices Of
bread. They are delicious, and in the
woods one can eat as many as one
likes" They have the added virtues
of being good for the complexion and
good for the health, and that is some
thing which women look for in their
diet in these days, when invalidism is
out of fashion. Interesting invalidism
the foolish used to call it, and the
real sufferers were generally those
who paid the bills.
