1t is not our aim to give athletics
undue emphasis in our high school,
but we believe that a reasonable
amount of attention should be given
to this phase of our high school life.
We have organized high school
football team and are enrolled in the
Idaho State Athletic League.
The Blackfoot high school is sched-
uled for five league games during the
season. The dates yet to be filled
are as follows: The State Normal
School at Albion, October II; Twin
Falls at Blackfoot, October "a; Idaho
Falls at Blackfoot, October 81; Po-
catellb High School at Pocatello, Mo-
vember 7.
Last Saturday our High School
played the Academy of Idaho and de-
feated the visiting team with the
score of to O. This means that
the Blackfoot High School has an ex-
cellent start toward the state cham
pionship and we are making great
effort to win 1t.
Fred Kiefer, former player on
the team at Washington and Jefrer-
son college, is coaching our team and
the game of last Saturday gave
splendid evidence of his ability.
The Blackfoot High School must
have the support and assistance OF
the Blackfoot people in order to win
the championship or to make good
showing in the league. Believing
that the people of Blackfoot are
greatly interested in the High School
we appeal to them for support and
assistance.
| Last Saturday our expenses amount
ed to about $4,000, and our gate
receipts amounted to less than $l0'
| Last Saturday, it Is true, was a dis
agreeable day and we could not ex-
pect many people to turn out. Never
theless, at this rate, we will soon DC
| obliged to forfeit all remaining games
and withdraw from the league. The
Blackfoot people do not wish sea.
son SO splendidly begun to end II
utter failure through our inability
to make expenses. IL we are unable
| to make expenses that inability vii
be caused by the indifference OF the
people of Blackfoot. We can't make
expenses unless the people buy tick
cts for our games and turn out t
support our team.
To every citizen Of Blackfoot W.
make the appeal. Buy tickets Boost
Support this department of our higf
school work and you will have caus'

Hssheesh Makes Its Slave Utterly
Useless For Any Service.
One of the drugs that are most strik-
ing in their effects is hasheesh, or
Cannabis ind!ca. largely taken in Asiat-
ic countries, where used myself to
meet its votaries. It's chief peculiarly
is to make one believe with all his
might whatever is suggested to him.
II he is an Arab tell him that he IS
e sultan, and straightaway he orders
heads to be cut OFF, Tell him he is q
rooster, and he will crow. | knew Of
two Americans who experimental on
themselves, and when the first was
told that he was like a locomotive he
snorted and whistled and kept going
round the table putting and blowing
until he dropped from sheer fatigue.
The other somehow conceived the
idea that he was dead and forthwith
gave elaborate directions for his own
funeral till he waxed wroth at the
unseemly mirth of his companions
when they should have wept.
Hasheesh makes its slave utterly
useless for any service. and so with
the other drugs Their victims one
and all end in becoming do-nothings.
Self made do-nothings, or those who
are so by drug taking, are much worse
than useless.
AS they usually do not begin till as
adults they reach the working period
Of life, they become wretched burdens
on the real workers. since our social
system lacks any constitutional enact

FAKE PAINTINGS.

Picture Dealer.

One Of the Ingenious Tricks Of the
Picture Dealer.
The tricks Of the picture dealer?
They are not to be counted. Here is
one that was played quite recently. y
dealer ordered from an artist tavern
scene in the old Dutch style signed in
the corner with a facsimile Of Jan
Stems signature. When the smok:T
look Of age had been given it the deal
er eyed it with approval.
"Splendidr' he said to the needy ~
ist. ITS a pity you shouldn't have
the credit Of it. Pray sign it with your
own name. It may make your reputa-
ton
The poor artist, delighted, painted
over the signature Of Jan Steen and set
his own name there. Three weeks
later the picture started for New York,
consigned to a Fifth avenue merchant
of paintings. But by the same boat
went an anonymous letter to the Gus
tom house officials warning them that
an attempt was being made to snug
gle in a chef d'oeuvre Of the Dutch
school worth $4,000. The picture was
seized Experts were called in They
scraped off the signature of the artist
and found underneath that Of Jan
Steen. The importer had to pay fine
Of so per cent-that is, S20,O0O-and in
addition $4,000 duty. Three days later,
however. he sold his Jan Steen (suar-
anteed by the United States govern
mentJ for the round sum Of $4,000.
Thus he made fair profit, for the orig
inal cost Of the picture was $14-70
francs paid to the poor devil of an
artist.-Broadway Magazine.

a Bad Dream.

It is not likely that any English
speaking people understand so keen
and punctilious devotion to the nice
ties OF language as that which charac-
terizes the French grammarians. We
may help ourselves to understand It
perhaps by reading a story told Of A..
Lamany.
One night he awoke and sprang out
Of bed with a wild Cry. His wife came
running. He was in alarm and de-
spair.
"Why, what is the matter?" she
gasped.
Il dreamed" said the professor.
"Oh, T had horrible. heartrending
dream!"
"What was it?"
II dreamed I was talking, and I dis.
tinctly heard myself utter sentence
which had grammatical error in it"

AvERTED A TRAGEDY.
Nerve Displayed by Daniel O'Connel
~ Critical Mop,ent

Nerve Displayed by Daniel o'ConnelI
at Critical Moment.
Daniel O'Connell, the famous Irish
agitator, had a contempt for physical
danger. On certain occasion meet
ing had been convened, and a large
crowd assembled in a room on the first
floor Of i building in a small city in
Ireland.
OConneu was about to address the
people when gentleman, pale with
fear, made his way to the platform and
hoarsely whispered:
''Liberator, the floor is giving way!
The beams that shore it up are crack
ing, and we shall fall through in few
n1inutes!'
"Keep silent" said O'Connell. Then,
raising his voice. he addressed the as
sembly:
81 find that the room is too small to
contain the number who desire to
come in, so we must leave it and hold
the meeting outside the building"
~ ~ lH4S IL Lew LOSS <4LO " "C14I o0lJ - ~
the majority retained their seats. Then
O'Connell said:
Il will tell you the truth. You are
Irishmen. therefore brave men. The
floor is giving way, and we must leave
this room at once If there is panic
and a rush to the door we shall all be
precipitated into the room below, but
if you obey my orders we shall be
saved Let the twelve men nearest the
door so quietly out. then the next
twelve, and so on till all nave gore. /
shall be the last to Ieave.''
His instructions were cbeyed to the
letter, and he waited, patient and calm,
till all had gone out in safety. Then
be walked quietly across the sunder-
ing, cracking floor, reaching the door
just as the shattered beams gave way.
And thus. by the force Of his strong
will, q terrible accident was averted.

A DREADFUL WEAPON.
The Slashins Sharks Teeth Club OF

The Slashins Sharks Teeth Club Of
the Polynesians.
Clubs were the weapons Of primitive
and savage man. Ancient specimens
from Mexico are heavy sticks grooyed
along the side for the insertion Of
blades of bosidian-that is, volcanic
glass. The Sioux club is fat piece
Of wood, curving and widening away
from the grip and terminating IN
spherical head. which in modern times
carries a long spike, while the blades
Of several butcher knives are common

has been said that in all the range OF
weapons devised by mankind there IS
nothing more blood curdling to behold
They show how the sword may nave
been evolved from the club even bE
tribes unacQuainted with the use OF
metals. African weapons, again, are
exceedingly complicated owing to the
acquaintance of the natives with iron.
The standard club is converted into a
sort Of tonlahawk by the addition OF
blades or into a primitive spear by the
addition Of a sharp spud. The pam
clubs in the African area are nscd
chiefly for throwing.
The small knobbcd clubs, or "Aer-
ries," such as are found among the
Kafirs and other African tribes, are
. generally used as missiles. whereas
the club proper was soon brought 10
perfection among savage tribes ano
vas long ago abandoned as a weapon
Of civilized warfare, the misslle-typi-

Curious Desires Have Actuated Many

The dryncss Of the law is sometimes
alleviated by the freaks and whllns
that appear in wills.
Some persons have used their wills
as means of paying off old scores. In

st. Claves, London, left John Abbott
and Mary, his wife, shillings each

that such a sight may remind him OF
his duty to God after having so long

His Plan Was Simple.

Frederick the Great once requested
his generals to submit to him plans Of
campaign for suppositftious case.
Hans Joachim Won Ziethen, the famous
cavalry general, produced queer da-
gram in black ink. It represented a
big blot in the center, intersected by
two black lines. whose four terminals
ended each in a smaller blot. The king
was furious and upbraided his old COM
rade in arms bitterly for what he con-
sidered disrespect.
IN explanation Won Ziethen said:
why, your majesty, am the large
blot in the center The eneny is any
one Of the four smaller blots. BE can
march upcn me from the right or left
from the front or rear. If he does I
simply advance upon any Of the four
lines and lick him where find him."
Frederick was satisfied.
