An English lord used to tell story
of sheriff substitute he once knew
slightly.
Although he was n very religious
man, the sheriff had his faults. and
one of these was that he had a habit
Of using strong language without re-
alizing what his words implied The
sheriff's best friend was the minister
OF the parish, and great misfortune
befcll the reverend gentleman by the
death OF his wife.
The sheriff wished to express his
sympathy but he found himself quite
at loss to know what to say He
sat for long time scratching his head
and puzzlng himself to know what he
could say to the minister. At last he
blurted out. well, minister. this is n
ID of business. "-London Express.

The greatest of all Scottish anniyer-

tional interest from the military point
Of view, as Bannockburn may be said
to have been the birthplace Of the
British square. Proud Edwards
while that of the Scots, on the other
hand, was almost exclusively composed
Of foot folk armed with the spear,
and these Bruce threw into "schil-
troms," or oblong squares, a formation
borrowed by Wallace from the Elem
ings, who had employed II with sue
cess at Contrary to resist the charge of
the English cavalry.
Hitherto the mounted mail clad
knight had carried everything before
him, but Courtray and Bannockburn
proved that he was powerless to break
resolute spear armed infantry drawn
up in ''schiltrom," or hedgehog forma-
ton, and these two battles revolution
lied the tactics OF the continent and
of our own island. Profiting by the
lesson which had been taught them
at Baunockburn. the English applied
the tactics OF the Scots with brilliant
success at Creey and still more AT

may be said to have originated the

NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-With a goal from
the field counting three points instead of
four, and with a few other changes made
in the rules to clear up points that have
been doubtful and to give merit a better
chance, the football season of 1909 is now
under way.
over in Princeton they expect to develop
a foot ball team this year that will be
able to stand Yale's battering attack
through the second half of their annual
struggle. Princeton has a new coaching
outfit, and its work will be watched with
unusual interest, because there is good
material at the university, and the outlook
for a winning team is very promising.
"Bir' Roper, the energetic coach of sew
eral years, who was able in 1907 and 1908
to put a team in the field that outplayed
Yale in the first half of each contest, but
collapsed in the second period of play, has
given way to Jim Mccormick, one of
the best plunging fullbacks in the history
of foot ball; Phil King, '93; Howard
Henry, "a, and Walter Booth, 'O2. McCor-
mick is In charge as field coach, and the
other old stars are at his side most of
the time to advise and get into the scrim-
images when the occasion demands 1t.
Roper's last two teams were strong in
strategy and speed, but slow in diagnosing

other fellows attacks. Tricky, lance-like
thrust through the Yale line, did well
enough until Yale saw through them and
checked them. Then Princeton made a
hopeless finish because it had nothing
else to fall back on. In developing a
brilliant thirty-five minutes attack, it ap-
peared as IL the coach had forgotten t.

Yale will go to Cambridge on November
