 It is an interesting example of Penn's capacity for keeping on good terms with the Stuarts. that, although he was intimate with their keenest enemies, he got his grant in Pennsyl- vania.

 Penn was a prolific author, but the bulk of his books, being devoted to theological controversy, have long.since passed from the shelves of ordinary men. There Is. happily, an exception. and, as everyone ought to know the name of 1t is "The Fruits Soli- tude" Of solitude Penn who was or ten in prison and often hiding 10 keep out of 1t, knew as much as most men.

not of their judgment is the religion of another and not theirs" That translation on the supreme right to individual reason gives a manliness to the book through which It's preach- ing of a general charity is the more powerful.
 But no doubt If Penn were to do as he advises the reader and fold down the page where a passage mat ters most, he would choose sornc- thing like this: T find all sorts of people agree. whatever were their animosIties, when humbled by the approach of death: Then they fors give; then they pray for and love one- another. Which shows us that it IA not our reason but our passion which makes and holds up feuds." It Is m that declaration of peace and charity, with its companion denuncistion as to the poor and unhappy Of man kind' which make up Penn's mes- sage.

What manner of man was this Quaker over whose body English and Americans have more, than once been at odds? He was born for enthus- iasm When only boy of twelve he knew what 1t was to be suddenly surprised with an inward comfort. and. as he thought, an external glory in the room which gave rise to re- ligious emotions, during which he be- lieved that the zeal of divinity had been put upon him or that he had been awakened and called upon to a holy life:" Such a temperament Is always found making strange mani festations. It induced Penn. as an un- dergraduate to tear off the surplices of unoffending students of Christ Church. for which the dons very properly sent him down, and his fath- CT very foolishly whipped him. We may, however. sympathize with the father who had to deal with son of religious principles which would al- low him to take off his hat to nobody, even the king. Your enthusiast Is never an easy person to manage.
 Penn united his pietism with a pro- ficiency in sword play which allowed him to disarm a quarrelsome fellow and give him his life in the approved manner of all the heroes of all the romances. He had enough of the apostolic ability to be all things to all men, to succeed at the French court, and make friends with Robert

Walter Camps American Sports"
 Tn the winter of 1sss-1soo. before an open fire at New Haven. with sieet and snow beating at the windows and the wind howltng a gale outside three men sat thrashing out the -never-faii- ing subject of football strategy.

 When the three men met later in the evening, 1t was a depressing occasion' The captain reported that almost every man on the team had lost conndenSe' He had talked with them individualiy. and all wanted the back held speeded up and Hale, the heavy fuil-pacA' I,,t pus into his old position at tackle Tne coach said that he was hearing nothing else from the coaches who had seen tne game in New York against Columbia.

Only one who has either captained or coached a football team can appreciate the feelings of these three men on the eve of the Indian game. Each knew that failure then meant too short a time to develop the team along other lines.

lie. It would not be difficult to trace its influence in some of the statesmen who guided the United States through the dangers of the next century. The reverence of America is natur- al, and 1t may we'll explain the pro- ject of which we hear to remove Penn's ashes to an American shrine. But an explanation is not a 1ustifica- tion. It Is neither vulgar jealonsly nor ,unreasoning sentiment which de- manas that the grave at Jordans should be left undisturbed.
 No place in America could have the same fitness as the humble burial ground at Jordans, with its memories of the days when the followers or George Fox, persecuted and insulted by the powers of the day. were fight in their battle for freedom and the dignity of man. In England the fight was won, and to England belongs the dust of the victors. If any other country than the land of his birth and his death. of his work and his sufferings, is to claim the shrine of Penn, not America alone, but all the civilized world might we'll appeal. To him as much as to its founder, George Fox, the Society of Friends owes its power. anj the strenuous philanthrophy of the Friends has left its mark all over the world The poor in every country. the savage,
 the criminal, and the lunatic owe much to the spirit of William Penn.

"weli. if my Judgment of pace and the present defense is not all wrong, am sure the plays will come out all right If you will keep at them to the end"
 wen stick to them fast enough" jauntiIy returned the captain.
 Its a bargain. then." said the grad uate. "I'n lay them out and give them to you"
 The winter passed and the spring and summer Fall practice began and the series of plays was put into ef- feet. They were based entirely upon the theory that the opponents had been taught to play low and to charge forward immediately upon the snap Of the ball. The lines of attack were so disposed as to make their very charge of each man in his line place him Tn such a position that except by tremen- dous effort he could not recover his balance so as to oppose effective re- distance to the attack. The new play necessitated a heavy full-back, and no other being at hand, one of the tack les, Perry Hale. was taken from the line and made the regular full-oack. Another green player was placed At tackle.
 By the first of November great was the criticism of the team. It was 'slow, painfully slow" A respectable end run was certainly out of the ques- ton. The back field. to use the expres- sion of one of the coaches. was slower than molasses in January" Finally the captain called up the graduate one evening and said that he thought they would have to put the fullback up at tackle again and get faster, light CT man who could get up pace enough to keep up with the rest of the backs
 But that means the abandonment oi the plays" said the graduate
