STORY OF RINGER.
sAn excellent example Of misguided
college loyalty may be taken from one oi
the State universities. In the football
season a huge, green looking youth. osten-
sibly from Montana. appeared at tne
university and reported for practice. he
had nothing but size to commend him'
and his clumsy playing discouraged every
body. Though the coach took him out by
himself for hard drill in the rudimenta
OF the game. he learned 30 slowly that when
the students found the coach bent on
using him in the great contest OF the
year they almost abandoned hope. In
that contest from the very outset the green
newcomer performed prodigious feats OF
strength and skill Immediately after the
victory. Which he had won for the uni
yersity, the well timed sickness OF his
mother snatched him from his ephemeral
alma mater. IL
aHis play was so suddenly good, his
mothers sickness was 30 opportune. ms
stay was 30 brief, that some persons
became suspicious. IL then transpired
that Montana was quite innocent OF MIN;
that he was a football player Of distinc..
tion. from an Eastern college; that he had
been captain Of the team in which the man
who had Just been painfully teaching him
the rudiments of football had been a sub.
ordinate; and that he had been imported
by this coach with the aid OF single local
patriot who had put up the money.
Ito any one who watches athletics as
a phase OF moral and intellectual as we'll
as Of physical life. it becomes clear that
the standards of coaches and trainers are
accepted for better or for worse by the
ma jority Of boys and young men. and that
with distinguished exceptions these
standards are low. Sometimes. indeed.
they are disgustingly low. II you haven't
got the men, says an eminent trainer,
damn it, get 'emi The same authority
observes that ten years from now people
will note by the score that the game was
won: they will not remember how II was
won"

A Queer Couch Mixture.

Mrs. Delaney, so well known as an
eighteenth century parsonage, had a
strange prescription for cough mix
ture. Writing to a friend In January,
1853, she says: Does Mary cough in
the night? Two or three snails boiled
In her barley water or tea water or
whatever she drinks might be Of great
service to her. Taken In time they
have done wonderful cures. She must
know nothing of 1t. They give no
manner Of taste. 1t would be best
nobody should know IL but yourself,
and should imagine six or eight boil

The Scottish golfer who undertook
for a wager to drive a ball a mile In
a dozen consecutive shots probably set
himself an easier task than some of
his predecessors north of the Tweed.
Among the most interesting wagers
of this kind was one taken In the
Burgess Golfng society in 1893 that
no two members could drive a ball
over the splre of st. Giles steeple
The feat was attempted by a Mr..
Sceales of Leith and Mr. Smellie, a
printer, each being allowed six balls
and both competitors succeeded in
sending their balls well over the
weathercock, a height of more than
100 feet from the ground
Some years later Donald Mclean, a
writer to the Signet, won substan-
tial bet by driving a ball over Mel
ville's monument. In St Andrew

performed the difficult feat of driving
the ball from Burntsfleld links to the
top of Arthurs seat species OF golf

Always Waning.

A Frenchman who apparently has a
good deal of time on his hands has
been amusing himself by reckoning up
the number of kisses he has given his
wife during the first twenty years of
his married life.
He finds that in the first year he dis
pensed about 100 kisses day, or, say,
allowing for birthdays and legal and
church holidays, about 36,7O0 In the
year
In the second year this number was
reduced by half and in the third year
to ten day, while In the fifth year
his better half had to be content with
two day, one in the morning and
one In the evening,
What happened Ia the fifth year is
wrapped In mystery" but at the same
rate of progression" he probably ar
rived eventually at one kiss on the first
