AUIT BOYS RELIEVE
IN WHIPPJN(,S

Ault, Dec. IL S-nne Of the NEST
remarkable debates on record came
on ut the Collins school house Friday
night when four boys, none OF them
more than 13 years of age, debated
the question, 'I.esOived, that cor.
poraI punishment is justitiabic in the
schools And the most remarkable
thing about II is that the affirmative G
put the case so well that the judges
awarded that side the decision.
The young orators were no whit
abashed by the audience that had as
sembled to hear the discussion Of this
question that presumably has a per-
sonal bearing for more than one OF
the speakers. Master Lowell Mondt
of the affirmative pertinently in
CURED of his audience, "how many
are there present who have raised
boys without whipping them"
And when no one answered he
cllnched his argument by the remark
that IF you can't raise three OF tour
boys on hundred and sixty without
doing some whipping, how can !
teacher take forty of them u as
small place as a school room and
get along without whippings?'
/ Lowell Mondt and Charley South.
ard were the spoa alters on the affirma.
| tive.
Hobart Ball and George Bal HAD
the negative side and put up a gooC
talk as to why teachers should b,

COLORADO L. Is DE-
FEATED BY GREELEY

Hats of to the basketball cham
piOns of the state of Colorado.
The Arrows haven't clinched that
title vet. but they are well on the
road.
1t was a battle of giants and the
better team won. Throughout the
first half the Arrows played with a
speed and team work that had the
university men guessing and the per-
| iod closed with the scores standing
| 90 to 9 for the Arrows.
| In the second half the Colorado
men braced up. Goaded on by the
superior playing of the Arrows, the
university five went in with whirl-
wind determination which was not to
| be resisted They scored sixteen
points to the Arrows eleven in this
half but were still five points short
when the time was called at the end
of the second half.
The crowd present was enthusias-
tic to degree and the cheering was
we'll divided between the two teams.
In the second half, Taylor, the
Colorado center. was inclined to
rough it but Hamnett's superb work
was not to be handicapped. Deane
McCreery suffered a severe fall in
the first part of the game but ne
was able to continue in the game.
Three fouls We're called on both
teams. If the Arrows continue the
pace which they have struck, there
appears to be no doubt but that they
will land the championship of the
state and maybe of the entire west
The officiating in last nights con-
test was extremely fair
Following was the lineup:

HOW KERMIT ROOSEVELT
IDT HIS LEOPARD

In one of these beats they put up
a leopard, and saw it sinking or-
ward ahead of them through the
bushes, writes Theodore Roosevelt
in the January Scribner Then tney
lost sight OF it, and came to the CON
clusion that it was in large thicket
So Kermit went on one side of it and
Mcmillan on the other, and the beat
ers approached to try and get the
leopard out OF course none of the
beaters had guns; their function was
merely to make a disturbance and
rouse the game, and they were eau
toned on no account to get into dan
ger. But the leopard did not wait
to be driven. Without any warning
out he came and charged straight al
Kermit, who stopped him when he
was but six yards off with a bulle
in the forepart of the body: the
leopard turned, and as he gallopeC
back Kermit hit him again, clipping
him in the hips.
The wounds were fatal and the.
would have knocked the fight out o
any animal less plucky and savag'
than the leopard; but not even il
Africa is there beast of more un
flinching courage than this spotted
cat. The beaters were much excite'
by the sight of the charge and tn
way in which it was stopped, AM
they pressed iubilantly forward, to-
heedlessly; one Of them, who wa
on McMillan's side of the thicket
went too near it, and out came tn
wounded leopard at him. 1t wa
badly crippled or it would have &C
the beater at once: as It was. it wa
it was slowly overtaking him as h
ran through the tall grass, whe
! Mcmillan, standing on an ant hea'
shot 1t again.
Yet, in spite of having this thir
bullet in 1t, 1t ran down the beate
and seized him, worrying him wit
teeth and claws; but it was wea
because of its wounds. and the pow
erful savage wrenched himself FREE
while Mcmillan fired into the bea'
again and back it went through tn
long grass into the thicket. The1
was a pause. and the wounded bea
er was removed to place OF sa'et,
while messenger was sent on TO L
to bring up the Boer dogs. Br
while they were waiting, the leopar'
on its own initiative, brought ma
ters to a crisis, for out it came asal
straight at Kermit. and this time
dropped dead to Kermit's bullet.

He Could Not Tell a Lie.

AAAN S"AAH
The late Professor Rowland, Of Johns
Hopkins university, was the most en-
inent physicist since the days of Jo-
seph Henry. Among his notable
achievements in the realm Of pure sci
ence was the calculation Of the me-
chaniCal equivalent OF heat and the use
Of gratings in spectrum analysis, for
which purpose he devised a machine
that could cut 10000 lines to h inch
on q plate Of polished metal. In the
practical application of his knowledge,
ne was noted as the inventor OF the
multipleX telegraph apparatus.

The Wrath Of the Trail.

There's a grass-grown trail neal the Shin

by
Where the smoke from the overland last
express is spread like a veil to the
sky;
It's the trail where the stage went rum
bling through In the days OF the real
frontier.
But where is the driver who braved the
path, and whose stout heart knew no
fear?
Twas a perilous trip that the prairie ship
made across the high. brown plains,
But has any one ever heard men tell OF a
coward who held the reins?
There are plenty OF tales OF heroes work
and OF passengers saved from death,
But where did a driver ever quail in thu
fiercest blizzard's breath?
So go to the trail when the stars are pale.

4 young woman who has been to

a little cake hat is popular among her
friends.
A rich puff paste is divided into four
parts. each rolled as thin as possible.
on M sheet is put an almond paste,
on another pounded peanuts or
pistache nuts, on q trird currant jelly
or range marmalade. The layers are
placed on each other, honey or maple
syrup is poured over, and the whole
baked in a moderate oven until a deli
cate brown.
When cold the crust is cut I'm squares
or diamonds and passed on a plate COW
cred with a lace dolly.
Another deliCacy for afternoon tea IS
the crisp cassava wafer used 80 much
in West Indian households. This is
served cold. but is better If buttered,
and made very hot in the oven.
Rich little crullers or doughnuts,
made not more than two inches long
and busted thickIy with powdered
sugar, are a pleasant change from the
usual small cake passed with after
noon tea.
A nice and inexpensive sandwich fill
ing is cold chicken or lamb, put
through a chopper, highly seasoned
with salt n pepper and mixed to a
smooth paste with rich cream. This
is not so rich as mayonnaise, which is
usually employed in sandwiches.
Bars Of brown bread slightly toasted,
buttered and covered with sardine
paste made by shredding sardines and
mixing with lemon juice are a nice
change from sandwiches.

A Black Hand Irust2

Deputy Police Commissioner Woods. Of
New York, in the May McClure's.
The Black Hand is not a cohesive.
comprehensive society, working with
mysterious signs and passwords. Given
a number OF Italians with money. and
two or three e~x-conviCts, you have all
the elements necessary for n first rate
Black Han campaign. In New York
city, however, there are 50 many groups
Of these Black Handlers that they have
come In more or less close contact with
each other, Iryestigatiou seems 20
show that the leaders, at any rate. of
the different groups are acquainted,
and that they work their schemes in
harmony, especially when their extor-
tion takes the form Of commercial
~swindling. In other words. the situa-
ton seems ripe for the creation in the
city Of one fairly powerful organized
society. A little police laxity, coupled
with the appearance of a leader of mag
netism and force, would very likely
bring about the formation Of a Black
Hand trust.

The industrious Negroes of Africa.

FFOW Leslie 5 weekly.
The blacks of tropical Africa are
proving their willingness to work hard
for the whites along the lines of the
new civilization which has been intro
duced in the Dark continent. The ne
gro planters of German East Africa are
raising more products for export than
the white planters. In 1903 the native
planters Of Southern Nigeria shipped to
Europe and South America 800 bales
OF cotton; in 1906 their cotton exports
rose to 5000 bales and if the season
Of 1909 fulfills its promise the export
crop will be well-nigh SO, 600 bales. The
native coffee sent to Europe n Amer
lea now amounts, without the invest
ment Of a single dollar OF foreign cap
ital, TO one-third of all the coffee eX-
norts from that dependency.
