Rat Tails For Embroidery.

Natures pleasant forms must be ex-
hausted when gown makers begin to
talk about rat tail embroidery. Yet
such is the fad for the hour. Rat tails
are having their day in soft wool
gowns. They are embroidered in silk
and twisted and turned in a way cal
culated to make the timid squirm.
Then rat tails figure among Partisan
novelties as one of the trimmings for
hats that divide popularity with chick
weed and pullets' wings. For the hat
the tails are near enough to life to
give the creeps. 'Wen," gasped one
good healthy, normal minded woman
when she saw such a piece of head
gear, cit makes me want to get out
the trap and the cheese"

Z. IN AID OF FOOTBALL.
Missouri University Faculty viii
Offer FRIES For SpeCiaItieS.
A SPUR 70 SPRING PRACTICE.

Trophy Cups For Winners In Punting,
Place and Drop Kicking and Tao
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Athletes Must Be
Fall EiigibIes Only.
The faculty members of the Univer-
sity of Missouri at Columbia, Mo,
have come TO the aid of football. Clark
w. Hetherington, athletic director of
the state institution has received an
offer from one of the leading faculty
members who desires to keep his name
a secret, saying that some members OF
the faculty of which he is the spokes-
man desire to come to the aid of the
athletic interests of Missouri unlVer-
sity, especially along the line OF foot
ball. To this end they wish to offer
a series of prizes to be awarded in
spring football competition.
Punting. place kicking, drop kick
ing and tackling are mentioned as eX-
amples of the kind of work they, the
faculty members, wish to encourage.
The awarding of the prizes, Which are
to be in the form of trophy cups, is
to be entirely in the hands of the ath-
letic department so that Hetherington
cannot object to the intrusion of out
side aid.
The letter follows:
cit has seemed apparent to some
members of the faculty that our foot
ball team does not have sufficient time
in the fall for the thorough drilling in
the elementary details of play that is
necessary for the production of a sue
cessful team. Being convinced of the
advantages to be gained by spring
practice in football and desiring to
show their interest in the success of
Missouri on the gridiron, they beg
leave to offer six trophy cups to be
used as prizes in a football field day
to be held some time this spring.
cit is the desire of the donors that
these cups be offered as prizes in a
competition consisting of punting, place
kicking, drop kicking, tackling and
other such events as the athletic de-
partment may consider best suited for
the development of football skill.
''Since the object in offering these
cups is stimulation to spring prac-
tice and the development of players,
the donors stipulate that the cups
should be awarded only to players
who will be eligible in the fall and
also to reserve the right to withhold
their gift if. in their opinion, the num-
Der of men engaged has been too
small the practice not sufficiently sys-
tematic or the period Of practice pre-
ceding the field day too short to pro-
duce results of value"
Coach Monilaw says that the offer Of
the faculty will be accepted on the
part of the athletic department. 1t
was the intention of the department
to arrange similar meet last year, but
the object was abandoned. = Kansas

DR.. BULLS HUMANITY.
Famous Surgeons Kindness to Poor
Jewish Family.

Famous Surgeons Kindness to Poor
Jewish Family.
The humanity of DR.. William I. Bull
Of New York, the famous surgeon who
recently died at Savannah, Ca, is illus
trated by an incident in his career
which came to light through another
physician.
Late at night a young doctor from
the east side of New York city went
to DR.. Bulls home and told him that
his skill was needed to save the life
of a young Jewish girl afflicted with
appendicitis.
Dr. Bull went to the home of the
girl. 1t was in a tenement house.
She lay on the floor on a bundle OF
rags. The family had not tasted food
in two days.
Taking off his coat and rolling up
his sleeves, DR.. Bull turned an icebox
into an operating table, operated on
the girl, stayed in the house till the
patient was out of immediate danger
and saw that food was brought for the
family.
Inc IaIner OF the SIII LII LIS great
gratitude for the surgeons kindness
took from his pocket quarter, all the
money he had in the world and prof
fered it to the great physician, and
DR.. Bull, realizing the spirit in which
the money had been offered and too
tender to refuse it, accepted the quar-
ter and placed it in his pocket.
ST hadn't the heart to refuse it," he
said afterward.

TAFTS HASTY ADMlRER.

Calls President Elect Colonel ana
Leaves His Fathers Best Wishes.
As the Taft train pulled out of Bir
mingham, Ala, the other night Viii
liam Howard Taft. the president elect
dropped down into a Pullman seat
sighed and stretched himself for a reaI
rest. says q Cincinnati dispatch. His
labors for the day were over. It was
the first time since the train left New
Orleans at 9:2O o'clock in the morning
that his car had been free of local
committeeman, the first time he had
really had breathing space. His eyes
closed, and he began to nod.
Most Of the others in the car were
already snoozing, their heads tilted
against the backs Of the seats. Every.
thing was as peaceful as graveyard.
Suddenly from the very center Of the
car came a voice: GLOW do you do
colonel? Glad t. see you"
Mr.. Taft opened his eyes with &
start; so did everybody else in the car
The old familiar voice Of the hand
shaker was there, but who the deuce
was "colonel?"
The mans collar was unbuttOned
his shoes were united, he was minus a
necktie and was sweating like an ice
pitcher in July. He was standing be-
side Mr.. Taft's seat.
"Why, knew you, colonel" he went
on, 1.-The moment I set eyes on you
You look just like your pictures"
Mr.. Taft stopped rubbing his eyes
and smiled, smiled. -
"Well, l have had a good man.
Names" said he, "but this is the first
time anybody has called me colonel
They call me judge sometimes"
"Well, now. that's So" said the call
er; "they do call you judge, but you
certainly look like your pictures"
Before Mr.. Taft could say anything
further the man ratified along, appar-
emily alarmed at the prospect of the
train starting before he finished.
"My father-eighty-six years old
lives just uphill there. I'd gone t
bed. Father, reading evening paper
Saw you WAS COLulLS luIOuSA Oh IhS
$50 and hollered t. me. John, John,
git up quick he hollered, and &C
shake hands with the first Republican
president l ever voted for / gets up,
Jumps into clothes-scuse 'pearance-
and rushes down here just in time t
catch train at water tank. Glad t. see
you-very glad-great privilege-very
happy"
"Give your father N.Y. interrupted
Mr.. Taft, but the caller went on:
Course / will-father II be tickled-
wish he could "a seen you hisself-could
have come all right if he'd only knowed
tn train was goin' to stop s'long. got
three children, three-two boys an a
girl-sorry they're not here too"
"Well. tell your father said Mr..
Taft again, and the train started.
Certainly the man called back as
he sprinted toward the door.
'"Tell him l shook hands and every.
thing you said
"Thanks, thanks, thanks"

Joke at President Elects Expense Told
by Booker Washington.
President Elect Taft and Booker T..
Washington discussed the negro prob
lem the other night before an audience
that packed Carnegie hall, in New
York. They had been invited by the
Armstrong association, which arranged
the meeting, to arouse interest in edu-
cational work in the south.

told by DR.. Washington in the latter's
address, which preceded that of the
president elect DR.. Washington told
of having been in Georgia just after
Mr.. Taft had left there during his re-
cent southern tour and of having Wis
tied n house where Mr.. Taft had been
entertained. The proprietor of. the
house said, according to DIR. Washing
ton, that after the president elect had
left he went to the kitchen and asked
the cook. an old negro "auntie," if
she knew who had been entertained.
"Deed. boss, l amt never heard of
him before" said the old negress.
''The master of the house was sur
prised," said DR.. Washington. 'He
told her what a great man Mr.. Taft
was, how he had been chosen to head
the nation.
"No. boss, I amt never heard tell Of
him. said the auntie again. The mas
ter of the house started to walk away
"But wait a minute, boss" exclaimed
the negress. HE sholy do look like
he's been regular at his meals"
Mr.. Taft Joined in the laugh that fol-
lowed this joke at his expense.

The Lincoln Cent.

Not on the eagle golden
Will we behold his face,
Nor yet on cleaning silver
The honored features trace,
But to the common copper,
The lowly coin, instead
Has fallen the distinction
OF bearing Lincoln's head
The millionaire may seldom
Those NOBLE outlines grasp,
But childhoods chubby fingers
The image oft will clasp.
The poor man will esteem it
And mothers hold 1T dear
The plain and common people
He loved when he was here.

1t is reported that one of our we'll
known young men went out to visit
couple of capricibus young ladies'
the other night, and it seems that
they framed it up on him to some ex-
tent and planned to have all sorts of
sport when he came to spend the
evening. AS he was accredited with
being somewhat bashful they thought
it would be a great joke to initiate
everything he did. When he appear
ed in the parlor he blew his nose,
and each Of the girls promptly fol-
lowed suit. The incident struck him
rather funny at the time, but he
didn't make any particular cute re-
mark about it. He said mice even
ing" and sat down and they repeated
the performance. The repetition of
the remark caught him again, so be-
| fore he did anything more he rubbed
his hands together and stroked his
hair, and they did the same. Not
! s cold tonight" he ventured in Or
der to be sure of his ground and
they repeated with slight change in
emphasis, Not SO cold tonight" :"
There was a slight twinkle of mis-
chief in their eyes, and he caught the
cue. He Strengthened his collar and
they did the same, and one of them
smiled a trifle. He didn't hesitate
any longer but deliberately stopped
down and turned up his trousers

| At the close of Mrs. Parenteau' s
discussion, the questions that had
been collected from patrons for the
question box were answered by the
superintendent. A great many ques-
tions were asked and each one was
answered as carefully and fully as
the time would permit. The questions
touched on such subjects as promo
ton, school reports, age at which
troduced, value of course in miner
alogy, necessity for home study, ex-
aminations, teachers pensions, prob
ability of the establishment of bus
mess course, the Union high school,
study of German in the grades, ath-
letics, library societies, relation nee
essary between teacher and pupil for
the success of both, etc. The ques-
tion box closed the formal program
and the audience adjourned to the
reception room, where bevy of beau
tiful young ladies served tea, and
where everyone became acquainted
with everyone else and enjoyed
very pleasant social hour.
The committee on program, Miss
Mcleod, Miss Loughran and Mr..
Green; and the committee on enter
tainment, Miss Lewis, Miss Gill and
Mr.. Weidmann deserve the highest
praise for the success of the meet
ing. 1t is to be hoped that subse-
quent annual parents meetings will
continue to improve in interest and
in usefulness. Central City is now
and should continue to be in a class
by herself in the usual amount of
helpful. thoughtful cooperation the
school receives from the home.
