been appointed by Mr.. Loeb to take
up once the work of making the New

entire country

GRIDlRON GOSSIP.

The one big game in the Missouri

one of the finest contests of the year.
If Kansas succeeds in defeating both
Iowa and Missouri, and should Michi-

post season game between Notre Dame

An Unofficial Visit.

One should always distinguish be-

pacity of person. The way of the
policeman may thus be made hard be-
cause he is forced to arrest his friends
sometimes his former comrades. New
ertheless, stern necessity demands that
the distinction should be kept. A
writer in the New York Times tells
how the Russian novelist, Tolstoi, is
wont to act when occasion demands.
Tolstoi abominates sneaks and spies
of all kinds. Melikoff, a sneak and a
spy, he especially abominates.
One day Melikoff, suspecting that q
good, deal of revolutionary work was
going on at Tolstoi's estate, dropped in

People in these days speak and
write very patronizingly of the old
ages of superstition, rejoicing that
they have passed, and that the world
has entered on a wiser and saner
era. But, If the truth be told, every
age has had its pet superstitions, and
If some have vanished, they have been
replaced by others quite as irrational.
In old pagan days, the Greeks and Ro-
mans before entering on any IMPORT
ant business, consulted the Delphic
oracle, the Cumean Sybil or Virgilian
Lots Now many persons consult the
clairvoyants and the psychic mediums.
In those old times certain days and
numbers were supposed to be melevo-
leut. The idea that Friday is day
OF evil omen, comes from the fact that
Christ was crucified on that day, and
the superstition that thirteen is a
malevolent number arises from the
incident that at the Last Supper thir-
teen sat down at the table and one
of them was the arbitrator, Judas.
To-day many wise people decline to
start on Journey or enter into anv
business enterprise on Friday. Our
own President Mckinley would never
lnaugurate any public affair or sign
any important document on a Friday.
There are kings and emperors who
still cherish the same superstition.
Great rulers have been noted for an
absurd faith in omens. Napoleon re-
garded the breaking of looking glass
as presage of death or dire calamity.
The kaiser Is not devoid of supersti-
tions, which to people in general seem
absurd The czar possesses a ring
set with a bit of the True Cross,
which he always wears as a talisman
against evil. Queen Victoria had an
uncanny horror of cats; so also had
Lord Roberts. The black cat is an
object of morbid terror to many peo-
pie both great and small. Bismarck
had a superstitious reverence for the
numeral three as his lucky number.
The ancient regard for seven as a
sacred and symbolic number still en-
dures, and we see this idea carried ont
IN church architecture and decora-
tions Many men, sailors and theatri.
cal people are noted for their SUPER
stitions. Kipling is always careful to
avoid seeing the new moon over his
left shoulder. Zola was a victim of
many petty superstitions. The use
OF the horseshoe as an emblem of
good luck dates from that remote time
when device of this shape traced in
blood was placed on the doors of the
lsraelites to ward off the murderous
attacks upon their first born. Bust
ness men who believe Friday to be q
day OF evil omen still cite Jay Gould's
BLACK Friday" as a justification of
their belief. Many other superstitions
cherished not only by the ignorant
masses but by the wisest people might
be mentioned. Many poets, rename
ers and even scientists and philosoph
ers have been addicted to absurd su-
perst1tions. People still see visions
and dream dreams, and attempt to pry
into matters not given unto men to
know. But the great mysteries of life
and death and the hereafter, remain
as unsolvable to-day is in the first
days OF mans existence upon the
earth.
