An Easy Job.

Indifference displayed in the face of the uncertainties and dangers of life is characteristic of the Wessex dwellers in the Islands of the Vale," according to Eleanor G. Hayden, the author of the book of the title, who supports her statement with story of humorous turn.
 A certain cottage and it's old mistress had improved so greatly in comfort and appearance that a visitor shrewd- ly surmised that the son of the house, a lazy ne'er do well, had turned over a new leaf. He inquired about it.
 "Yes, sir, my sons in work now" said the smiling old mother. 'Takes good money, he does, too. All he has to do is to go twice day to the circus and put his head in the lions mouth. The rest of the time he has to him. self''

How She Wheedies and Buiiies the
 Poor Man Creature.
 As woman gradually impressed upon man the futtlity of strutting around in fnefy and the necessity of being prac- ticaIly useful his garb has become more and more sober and workaday in ap- peArance. Ethnologists tell us that the. decorations of primitive man were intended to fascinate feminine eyes but woman presently began to make it clear that she was not hunting for "a fine, showy article" but something solid and plain and useful. warranted to stand wear and tear. As for the or namental role, she was going to repre- sent the family herself in that line.
 In fact, when one reflects how man has been stripped of gauds and vince dled out of his fiipperies one by one, one cannot help feeling a tender pity for his victim of feminine self asgran- ligement.

Telescope.
 Some of our most useful mechanical appliances owe their existence to the ingenuity of children in fashioning their playthings. Argand, who in- vented lamp with a wick fitted into a hollow cylinder, was one day busy in his workroom. Sitting before the burning lamp, his little brother was amusing himself by placing a bottom less oil flask over different articles. Suddenly he placed 1t upon the flame of the lamp, which instantly shot up the long circular neck of the flask with increased brilhancy. Argand did rat' allow such 8 suggestive occur I-5ace to escape him. The idea of the lamp Chimney almost Immediately came into bis head, and in a short time his invention was perfected.
 The telescope owes its origin to a similar occurrence. The children of a Dutch spectacie maker happened to be playing one day with some of their fathers glasses in front of the shop door. Placing two of the glasses to, gether, they reeped through them and were exceedingly astOnished to sec the weathercock of the neighborine steeple brought within short distance of their eyes. They were naturally puzzled and called their father to see the strange sight. When the spec. tacIe maker looked through the glasses he waA no less surprised than the children had been. He went indoors md thought the matter over. and then (*ha idsa occurred to him that he might construct a curious new toy which would give people a good deal o1 2 ausennent Not long after the tele- scope was an accomplished fact.

Not infectious,

l used to be very much afraid that my children while playing with others would be exposed to some contagious disease, and they were constantly on the lookout for trouble of this kind.
 One day little Louise, aged four. came rushing in from the street where she had been playing with a crowd of children. In very excited manner she burst out, Well, mother, two of the Meyers children have something, but sister says she don't think we'll catch it, though"
 "Well, what is 1t, darling?' asked.

How Pike Kill Perch.

From careful observation I am sat isfied that pike kill their prey before swallowing them, and they do this by holding whatever fish they have SC. cured crossways in their powerful jaws for some time before bolting it. I once watched a pike hold a perch in this way for twenty minutes, and then he moved off out of sight, but from five to ten minutes is the usual time.- W. Fl.

IOWA SEES HOPE FOR TEAM
Iumni VIII Assist EFFORT to Beat
Out Winnfn Eleven.

IOWA CITY, Ia, June l2.-(Special)-
Alumni from the four corners of the state
OF Iowa will flock back to the UNIVERSITY
next fall to help John G. Griffith, the can
tain of the famous 1900 team coach, the 1909
eleven, in an effort to regain a footing
among the leading western institutions in
foot ball. Not since the days of DR.. Knlpe
have the Hawkeyes possessed a winning
team and Griffith, the first of the alumni
coaches, will endeavor to perfect a ma
chine to start the season by a defeat of
Minnesota on October 2.
sam Hobbs, one of the best halfbacks
Iowa ever had. will aid Griffith. He is a
close student Of the new game. Edison will
be on hand and help Griffith with the
backs. "Morey' Eby, the greatest tackle
Iowa ever had for his weight, will assist
Griffith in developing the line men. and It
is possible he may be the selection for as
sistant coach. Frank Moore, center on he
'O6 eleven, will be in the College of Medi-
cine, and Hastings. star lineman for the
last three years, will be in the College of
Law. Both these ex-stars will be valuable
ASSISTANTS in coaching the forwards.
OF the old players who will return there
are Captain Gross, tackle; Hanlon, John
son, Hyland, end; Collins, halfback; Haz-
ard, fuliback; Stewart, quarterback; Comfy,
center, and Fee, halfback.
But the most promising aspect OF the saII
season is the wealth of freshmen material
which will be eligible. Chase is a fierce
tackler and ne IS expected to make good
at the end opposite Hyland. o'Brien will
probably be used at center and he promises
to make a second Hastings. Murphy and
Ehret are two Of the best halfbacks that
ever played on any Iowa freshman team.
The drowning of Don Wagner, the former
West High athlete, was a bad blow to the
foot ball teams, for he was certain of a
position on the varsity next fall. Fast and
heavy, he was one OF the best athletes to
ever try for an Iowa foot ball team.

Joe Cans an Example.

Every follower OF the fighting game
knows that Joe Cans, the former light
weight champion. quit on more than one
occasion. He was a remarkable clever
pugilist and held his title for a number of
years, fighting all of his ch~alIengers. but
in 1900 Cans quit cold to Frank Erne in the
twelfth round OF a bloody battle at the
Broadway Athletic club. He also stopped
