been replaced by a new type The long
horned Texas steer is rare to-day. though

horned animal. all beef instead OF all
hoofs and horns. These new types Of
beef steers do not rustic Ike the old
Texas steers, on account Of their greater
weight. They feed IN q smaller circum-

From the winchcster Star.

That football is becoming rOugher each
year cannot be denied. There is scarcely
game played between any OF the col
leges nowadays that is not marred by
some death or accident One OF the IA
vorite tricks OF the game IS for the men
on one team 70 select a star player on
the opposing eleven, and mark him for
the slaughter. in order 10 get him out
Of the game. They may not actually
intend 10 kin their man. but they concen-
trate attacks upon him and deliberately
try to MAIN and cripple him, so that he
cannot play.
The death OF young Christian was prob
ably due 70 an accident, but II is the
brutality and roUghness OF football. as
played now. that makes such accidents
possible. And what is the use OF II all?
Why should the flower Of our young men

players whose injuries have lately

tragedy must be the beginning Of the
