The Normal basket ball team was
defeated Friday evening by score
of 80 to Is in a game with the team
of the Agricultural College of the
University of Minnesota. The
game was swift one but developed
very little team work on either side,
and was characterized by a rough
ness which the referees willingly
overlooked.
The lineup was as follows:
AGGIES POSITION NORMALS
Guam Right Forward Clark
Colombo Left Taylor
Page Center O'Brien
Strand Right Guard Rudow
Olsen Left Haddow
Patterson played right guard in
the last half. The referees Of the
game were O'Keefe and McEnel.
Before the game wrestling match
was held in which Pratt of the
High School and Race of the Nor
NAL took part. The contest was
held with the condition that Race
throw Pratt inside of fifteen minutes,
without rolling throw. But Pratt
was excellent on the defensive and
Race was unable to get a hold and
though he got Pratt to the mat, he
failed to bring him to his back in
the time specified.

Brer Woodchuck saw such well
developed shadow on 1Candlemas
day that he scooted for cover and
did not wait to see what was COM
ing. And it was not long in arriv-
ing; for Monday evening lowering
sky began to send down light
furry of snow which increased
throughout Tuesday and Wednes-
day until blizzard developed and
between eight inches and foot of
snow had fallen.
The sidewalks were well nigh
impossible and the snow plow was
called upon to do good service.
In town sleighing is good, and
many are taking advantage of it,
but the country roads are badly
drifted,. in places the highways are
bare, while in others the drifts are
above the boxes of the sleighs.
But the weather is fine to-day and
all prospects are good for its con-
tinuance, so the farmers will soon
see that the roads are put in the
best possible shape for travel.

preston. And so the victim lets it
go on, day after day, red eyes, swol-

loss of appetite, the irritating cough.
In itself cold may be simply un-

fatal. Pneumonia, with its enor-
nous fatality; consumption, with its
deadly grip; bronchitis, asthma,
these and many ailments are often
the direct result of cold.
The patient may have had many
colds. They have resulted in moth
ing serious. But when the system
has become weakened by these re-
peated attacks, when the mucous
membranes are in a chronic unheal-
thy condition, then it is these fatal
maladies assert themselves.
There is no greater mistake than
to neglect cold. At it's first APP
pearance measures should be taken
to relieve it. At this season of the

LAUNCH PAPER
FOR The PEOPLE
DUCHESS OF sUTHERLAND's WIS.,
IT TO AMERICA SAID TO BE IN
INTEREST OF PROVIDING PA
PER FOR ENGLISH PEOPLE

NEW YORK, Feb. Am inter-
esting story is going the rounds in
relation to the visit of the Duchess
of Sutherland, who reached New
York unheralded few weeks ago
and managed to remain in the city
some days before her presence be-
came publicly known. 1t is report
ed that the purpose of the duchess
in coming to this city was to discuss
a project to launch newspaper for
the people in London in partner
ship with a millionaire publisher Of
newspapers in New York and other
cities, whose wealth and political ac-
tivities have made his name faniI-
lar to all.
Just why the American publisher
should desire to start newspaper
in the interest of the poor suffering
English proletariat is not stated.
but the story is no less interesting
because of this omission. The pros
pective journalistic alliance of a
Yankee millionaire and an English
peeress is sufficient in itself to Gre
ate interest, and the story seems to
have attracted attention in London
as we'll as in this city.
The Duchess of Sutherland is
remarkable woman in many re-
spects. She has the pen Of ready
writer, publishes books, has written
a play for Ethel Barrymore and is q
frequent contributor to the maga-
zines. She is fond of literature and
literary people, has a head for bust
ness and is a first-class organizer.
Her first literary work was de-
scription of her honeymoon trip
around the world, and she called it
How Spent My Twentieth Year. z
1t became fashionably popular, and
was much praised on account of its
refreshing simplicity. In 1889 she
published a novel entitled "One
Hour and the Next" a psychologist
cal work, which attracted much
praise and criticism from the Eng
lish literary journals 1t was ?
story treating with the melancholy
side of working-class life, aend II
then became known for the first
time among the poorer classes of her
country, studying their conditions
and constantly performing acts Of
charity.

Well, would you prefer to see the

The children are asleep, and her hus-
band is away at the club, or out with
a business acquaintance, or off on a
journey, and this happens night after
night. She watches for him to come
home not because she Is a nagger, but
because she doesn't know what else
to do. If when he had to be out there
was some place she could go to herself
she wouldn't be standing waiting for
him at the head of the stairs. She
would pass a pleasant evening and
