WENTwORTHwINS AGAIN.
Second Team Defeats MeNicans From c.
B. C., SedaIia. Yesterday by Over.
Whelming Score.


The second football team of Went
worth Military Academy fell into
the pace set by their brother teams,
by tromping on the colors Of the
Mexican Aggregation from Sedalia
Monday afternoon on the Campus
by a 80 to 6 score. The game was as
easy as signal practice for the red
and white and the only thing that
saved the MeXicans from getting a
coat Of whitewash was a lucky
quarterback kick, which the END had
the good fortune to handle.
The cadets made two touchdowns
in the first four minutes of play. 1t
took Just three downs to shove the
pigskin over for the first touchdown
and only two were Deed9d to accom-
plish this same stuntthe second time.
Besides many other things, which 90
to make up a first class team, there
is one thing that the second
team possess, and that is a speedy
backfeld.
The most brilliant playing of the
game was done by Sellers, who did
splendid work on both the offence
and defence. Other star performers
for the red and white we're Welsh End,
Groves, Campbell, Chambers, Wyatt
and Cook End. In yesterdays game,
the cadets demonstrated their ability
to handle the fake plays. The for
ward pass and quarter back kick we're
used a great deal and Melted many
yards. The Mexicans worked the
forward pace fairly we'll. Towards
the close of the tussle, the cadets be-
came careless and we're penalized

Side community, relates the following:
Not long since my wife went into
the bedroom and was Mortified to
find a large rattlesnake wriggling
from behind a bicycle that leaned
against the wall. The baby had
crawled into the room a few moments
before and was playing not three feet
from the serpent. My wife attempted
to strike the snake with a broom, but
it sought refuge behind the bicycle
wheel, and occasionally thrust its
ugly head at her in a threatening
manner She called to me, but by this
time the snake had sought refuge
under the bed, and ! killed 1t with a
load of shot from my gun. How long
the snake had been in the room or
just how it had got there nobody

The select committee of the British
house of commons, in taking testi-
nony recently in regard to the con.
troll and regulation of the conditions
under which home work is carried on,
heard the evidence Of the president OF
the Women's Trade Union league. She
said that the difficulty in organising
home workers was due to the fact
that they were too poor to help them
selves. This witness mentioned the
case Of a woman known to her who
could earn only rs cents a week by
shirt making. She mentioned the case
Of another shirtmaker who received
only 81 cents a dozen for making
shirts. The witness produced blue cot
ton shirts which were made for 1871
cents a dozen. She said that without
charitable subsidies or poor law re-
lief the persons who accepted these
low wages could not exist.-Harper's

OBJECTED TO LONG NAMES.
English Clergyman Had His Own Way
at christenings.

An English clergyman, DR.. Freder-
ick Lee, had a prejudice against a
long string of Christian names, and
held that if such names were pro-
posed the clergyman should alter
them at baptism, whether the parents
were willing or not. 1t was said of
him that he christened all the boys
Frederick after himself and all the
girls Mary after the Virgin. The au-
thor Of The Life of Walter Pater'
gives DR.. Lees method of christening
as follows:
Name this child" he would say in
his authoritative voice.
Archibald Cholmondeley Constan-
tine Ferdinand" perhaps the mother
would whisper.
Frederick" she would hear, to her
amazement, and then would follow the
formula of baptism.
In the vestry, of course, there would
be objection.
This child" DR.. Lee would reply,
will have to get his living in the
world, and what do you want to handi-
cap him with Archibald Campbell
Cholmondeley and all the rest of them
for? Anyhow, it's done, and can't be
altered"
