The Old-Time Boy.

The boy Of to-day who complains Of
anything should be made to read the
rules and regulations laid down for
boys in old colonial days. He had to
stand up at the table. He must go to
bed at candlelight He must not sit
down in the presence of a visitor. He
must not shout He must not run
without cause. He must not throw
stones at animals or birds. He must
not idle on the street, and if he had
been found trying to stand on his
head he would have gone to Jail for a
week.

ladies First"

In this age Of leveNng up and level,
ing down, and of attempting to place
women on the same plane as men in
everything, chiyalry is nearly a dead
letter. Many wish it were altogether
so, regarding it as a bar to the full
emancipation of women. There can
be no traffic here with such
wrong-headed and wrong heart,
notions. In the healthy at
mosphere of sport such notions wither
and fade like eXotics in an alien soil.

Howard Won.

The football game at the baseball
park, between the football team OF
Howard University and the Virginia
Union University last Monday after
noon resulted in n score of 21 to 0
in favor of the Howard boys. A re-
ception was rendered the visiting
team at Pythian Hall last Monday
night and a most select crowd was
present and thronged the hall
Some claim that the score was 16
TO 0, but the Howard enthusiasts
claim that the touchdown was made
in the time limit. at dark, and this
caused the controversy as TO the

THE STORY OF A PROSPECT.

There were holes in the side of
the mountain. Some were from four
TO FIVE feet In diameter They were
mines that had been abandoned. It
was explained that the United States
government granted 10 a miner a
stated number of feet on the noun
tain. at any point that he might Sc
lect, provided, Il had not been pre-
viously taken up by some one else.
When he could satisfy the govern
ment that he had expended as much
as $500 on it. the government would
give the miner an absolute title TO IL
and he could work it further or sell
It.

THE TROUBLES OF A MINER.

1t will be seen then that a poor
miner would not stand much show
in a case OF this kind for he would
be required to work a long time be-
fore he could show that he had ex-
pended five hundred dollars on his
prospect. He would work for many
days getting out rock, called quartz,
which would not contain enough gold
to pay his living expenses. Right
here is the trouble. All of the pros
poets contain more or less gold, but
when IL runs as low as three
dollars worth of gold to a ton OF
quartz. IL costs more TO get the gold
out than the gold is worth.
