Former keokuk Boy, Son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. T. 3. Boyer, is Looked Upon
to % Much in Athletic
way.
AT MICHIGAN LAST YEAR
Was Considered Find on Freshman
Team and His Loss Will Be
keenly Felt by Coach
Yost.

A former Keokuk boy. Cedric Boyer,
Familiarity known by his many friends
as Sid is expected to make marx
in athletics OF the state during the
coming winter and spring. for he has
left the University of Michigan and
will enter Iowa in the fall He is the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. T. B. Boyer, who
left Keokuk some time ago and went
to Cedar Rapids.
At Michigan last year Boyer made
good In freshman athletics and was
looked upon as a find at that college.
He gained his early reputation while
attending the Cedar Rapids high school
and featured in several state meets
held on the Iowa field. A special
from Iowa City to the Gate City speaks
in the following words of this young
athlete whose rise will be watched
with interest by Keokuk friends:
Another crack athlete has been ad-
ded to the list of promises at the State
University. Cedric Boyer, of Cedar
Rapids, has decided to leave the Uni
versity OF iIichigan which he attended
last year. and cast his lot with the
Iowa "U." While at Michigan, Boyer
made remarkable record, both athlet-
ically and enthusiastically.
He played "steller" game at end
on the fast Wolverine freshman team.
Trainer Fitzpatrick .clared him to be
the find" of the season for Michigan's
great foot bali machine, and placed
high hopes in his work for this year.
Boyer was also considered the best
quarter miller among large bunch OF
candidates. In the indoor relay try.
out for the great University of Penn
sylvania relay games the husky Cedar
Rapids freshman ran with the best OF
the upperclass men seconds. He
would have easily qualified for the team
had he not been barred on account of
being first year man.
] The rapid development OF the En-
cheering school at Iowa City and the
energetic and irresistible campaign be-
| ing waged by the S. U. /. freshman
athletes attracted Boyer to his home
school as 1t is doing with many other
young athletes who have heretofore
planned on leaving Iowa for their
schooling Boyer is expected to do
great things at Iowa.

WISE WORDS.

Even when a man has his price a
woman can generally make him feel
pretty cheap.
In divorcing a fool and his money
most of us are willing to be named
as correspondents.
You will discover that most men
are all right If you will only trouble
yourself to ask them.
It's no wonder it takes three gen.
erations to make gentleman if 1t
takes nine tailors to make man.
The man who tries to drown his
sorrows in the flowing bowl may dis
cover that it only makes his head
swim.
Many a fellow who thinks he is
the light of girls life is quite put
out about it when she turns him
down.
It's treat to listen to man who
asks you what you'll have.
Don't exaggerate your own faults.
Leave that to your friends.
A fellow has no business to be
headstrong with a weak intellect.
It's all well enough to take the
bull by the horns, if the bull will
stand for it.
Heaven would be overcrowded II
we could all be taken at our own val
uation.
The right will triumph. At least
man always feels that way when he
wins.
1t is human nature to imagine we
would be satisfied with the things
we know we can't get.
1t isn't a physical impossibility for
man to lie while he is standing up
for himself.
The man who permits his pleasure
to interfere with his business may
reach the point where he won't have
any of either.
In spite of the fact that love is
popularity supposed to be blind, many

who is a sight.-From "The Gentle

THE AERIAL SLIDE.

The people of India have curious
customs in the way of religion, and
the strangest of them all is the aerial
slide, which is performed annually at
Kulu, in the Himalayas. ,At point
where there is cliff overhanging q
dangerous gorge several hundred feet
in width and hundred feet in depth
rope is made fast to the rock. The
other end of this is carried across the
gorge and there secured to a stake.
The total length of the rope between
the two points is when drawn taut
$500 feet, and the end attached to
the cliff is several hundred feet higher
than that fastened on the opposite
side of the ravine. Thus a slide IL
contrived, and 1t is a dangerous one
to all appearances.
1t is down this incline that the per.
former has his path. For the lofty
journey sort of saddle is provided
made of wood, with holes in 1t,
through which the rope passes. But
before start Is made the whole
length of the rope is wet to prevent
the saddle from catching fire from
the friction. The performer sits aside
this seat, and to his legs are fastened
bags of sand, which serve two purposes
they enable him to maintain an up.
right position during his lightning.
like descent, and they increase the
speed. The lower end of the rope Is
carefully wound with bits of carpet
to check the speed before the stake
is reached.
The terrific velocity of the descent
for the first few hundred yards is
shown by the stream of smoke that
trails from the wake of the saddle,
despite the fact that the rope has
been wet. Afterward the decline be-
comes less steep, and the pace, there-
fore, becomes slower. By the time
the goal is reached the jheri, as the
performer is called, is able to come to
a standstill without disaster.
This slide in the air is supposed
to reveal the will of the gods as to
the crops of the approaching season.
If the perilous trip is accomplished in
safety plentiful harvest is assured.

An Ancient Mine.

At Falun, Sweden, are the head
quarters of mining company with
history so remote that the date of
its origin cannot be definitely fixed.
An original purchase deed dated in
the year 1888 has to do with a sale
of stock of the present company, and
a charter given by King Magnus of
Sweden and Norway is dated Febru-
airy "a, 1S47. At that time the rights
granted by King Magnus' predeces-
sors were referred to as very old.
The original business was the manu-
facture of copper and the mine at
Falun, "Stora Kopparberget" (the
great copper mountain), has been
continuously worked for nearly 700
years. In this time it has yielded
about 100000 tons of copper, 1916
tons of silver and IL tons of gold,
the whole representing a value OF
1000, 100000 kroner, or about s55,-
00,000.-London Globe.
