LAST PRACTICE BEFORE
TOMORROW NIGHTS GAME.

Last night the last practice Of the
basketball teams before Saturdays
game was held in the university gym
nasium, and those who witnessed the
practice are convinced that the uni
versity team will give a good account
Of itself in the game Saturday night.
Wednesday night the score was 80 to
81 and last night the Hunton forwards
could not be kept from scoring and
the game resulted As to Is. In the
last part of the game Moir was intro
duced to see II this avalanche Of goals
could be stopped, but to no purpose.
Word has been received that sew
enty Cheyenne rooters will be over
with their team, and this showing Of
interest by the Cheyenne people should
encourage their team a great deal.
The enthusiasm of the home people
should more than Offset this for the
university. There will be no admis
sion charged for the dance to be held
after this game. The floor will be
waxed and a good orchestra pro-
vided. The officials will doubtless be
Prof. Soule of the university and Mr..
Storey of Cheyenne.

FROM FANCY TO FACT.
Delightful and Novel Experience
Rudely DispeIled.

"Oh, thank you'll" exclaimed the de.
lighted wife, as her husband handed
her a large bunch of money and told
her to go right down town and buy
everything she liked.
Don't mention it," replied the hus-
band. Il want you to have everything
your heart desires in the way Of
dresses and bonnets this winter. l
realize that 1 have not been as gen.
erous as l should have been, and /
hope I may be able to make up for it
now. Here, take this double handful
OF $50 gold pieces, too. Look out,
there! You're dropping them"
But the double handful Of gold EOS
fell to the floor and went jingling here
and there, and the husband laughed
merrily until
B-r-r-rrrri
1t was the alarm clock, and she
heard the voice OF her husband say
ing:
I'll be late to work again to-day.
Say, lend me half a dollar, won't you?
l have not enough money for carfare
and lunch this morning."
1t Is such distressing occurrences as
this that make women wish they had
married the squit-eyed. freckled boy
who afterwards left home and became
a plutocrat.

ROLLING MILL NOTES.

The tie plate set Of rolls is expected
to be finished in a day or two.
The merchant mill is expected to
shut down shortly, SO that some re-
pairs on the furnaces may be made.
Earl Ransom, employed in the bolt
room, had one finger slightly injured
this morning, but continued his work.
Heater Sites is back at work today,
having had trouble with his throat.
He Is not entirely well, but is able to
keep the mill going full tilt.
There is a tremendous rush order
for bolts and nuts, and all the bolt
machines are working full time. The
bolts are for the car and bridge de-
partments and are packed in boxes Of
200 pounds each.
Colonel" Ransom has been pro-
NOTED to be manager of the hot bed
and now has the responsibility of
keeping the bed clear and the shears
working full time. The colonel is
equal to the occasion.
The punches working on the rail
joint made a high mark yesterday,
Jack Smith and Claude Burke punch
ing for bolts and spikes, $500 plates.
The pieces go through each machine,
going directly from one to the other.
Raymond Geisler, employed in the
bolt threading room, was caught in
the belt of the nut threading machine
yesterday afternoon and carried to the
line shaft above, but managed to pre-,
vent himself being drawn around the
pulley. He was not very badly hurt.
C. z. Evans, the finisher at the mer.
chant mill, is the popular member Of
the force. He received three valen-
tines last night, none of the other
members of the party getting more
than two. Evans is proud of the ex-
plot and has the valentines displayed
on the frame of the mill.

SURF RIDING IS ROYAL SPORT.
How the HonoIuIans Tobossan for
Half a Mile on One Wave.

At Waikiki, near Honolulu, is q
famous bathing beach. Here, winter
and summer. the surf canoes, or bot
ter yet, the surf boards, come dancing
in on the long rollers and men become
amphibious.
There is no sensation quite COM
parable, says the Travel Magazine, to
riding a surf board on a Pacific roller.
1t is tobogganing on q moving hillside
Of water, or. If you are clever enough
to stand up on your board, It is taking
this hillside on . single big ski.
The beach runs far out before It
shelves into deep water, and at high
tide the breakers begin to mount al
most half a mile from the shore line.
You go out there with your surf board
and wait for the wave.
You learn to catch 1t at the right
moment. throw your board inshore
and climb upon It just as the crest Of
the roller mounts and catches you.
Then on this crest you sail in toward
the shore, to slide down at last when
the wave breaks, down the foaming in.
cline into shallow water and churnins
foam. It is royal sport.

GOING TO CHICAGO

DR.. John Franklin Brown, principal
of the normal college of the University
of Wyoming, will leave on Thursday
for Chicago to attend a conference of
teachers from all sections of the Unit
ed States, and 1t is likely that Prof. F.
W. Lee, superintendent of the city
schools, will also be sen by the school
board, as the meeting is likely to be
of great interest to teachers generally.
The board this afternoon granted Prof.
Lee leave of absence to attend the su-
perintendents' meeting at Chicago and
appropriated money for the expenses
of the trip.

Tho Pope and Cardinal Vaughan.

On the occasion Of the great Marian
congress in Rome, the pope sum-
moned Father Bernard Vaughan to
represent the English speaking peo-
pies. The Italians were amazed to
find him so un-English, as they
thought, in his dramatic style. The
story goes (says a writer in the New
Oxford weekly paper. Varsity Life
nlustrated") that one day the pope, in
the presence Of one of his cardinals
mimicked the preachers style, where
upon Rampolla exclaimed: "And he
is an Englishman!" NO." replied the
pope, The was born on the top OF
Mount Vesuvius, and we sent him to

FLYNN Kites For Luck,

On the ninth day of the ninth month.
according, to the Chinese calendar. all
the Celestials, old and young alike. be-
take themselves to the hills behind
their towns and amuse themselves by
flying kites. But amusement is not
the sole reason for this ceremony. It
comes from an old Chinese legend.
and IL a Chinaman did not fly his kite
on the given day he would rest meas
lily for the remainder of his life in fear
that misfortune would overtake his
family. The legend runs that many
years ago a certain Chinaman was
warned in a dream that a misfortune
would come to his home on a certain
day. Accordingly on that day he re-
paired to an adjacent hill and amused
himself and his family by flying a
kite while he was waiting for the dis
aster. In the evening, upon returning
to the valley in which his house was
situated, he found that 1t had fallen
in and buried his pigs beneath 1t. He
and his neighbors Joined in thanksgiv-
ing for his narrow escape, and in
memory of the event every year. sees
the flight Of millions of kites in China.
