The Football Boys Of Lakeport.
~ "a


By Edward Stratemeyer; fourth vol
ume of the "Lakeport Series;" IL
Illustrated by Arthur o. Scott. Price
$1.25.
Mr.. Stratemeyer shows in this book
what the jolly and dauntless boys OF
Lakeport did when the football sea-
son came around. Their heroes OF
the baseball field were not long in
organizing an eleven, and there fol-
lowed series of exciting contests
for the Lake remnant. The boys had
a college man to coach them, and
made a number of brilliant plays,
some of which are described In de-
tail. How the quarterback helped his
rival of the gridiron to get away from
his enemies and reach the field in
time, and then defeated him, is strik-
ingly told But the story is not all
football and some jolly times on the
water and on an island are depicted;
and the author shows how a youth, in
tensely shrinking, overcame his timid-
ity and made something of himself
by simply saying Il wilr' and stick
ing to it.

The Social Life of Pittsburgh.

Socially, Pittsburgh may be likened
to huge pie, with upper and lower
crust a-plenty, but a noticeable lack
of what the good housewife realizes
is the chief feature of her culinary
triumph, the filling. The top crust
is extremely light, and therefore has
various elevations or excresvences.
Sticking to the under side Of this up
per crust you will find many traces
of what was once Pittsgurgh's social
filling, or middle class. Their con-
nection is a bit precarious, almost
perilous, but they manage somehow
to stick far below, through great
space, they see the under crust, alb
sorbing that part of the filling which
failed to rise and cling to the upper
crust. In no other city Of America
will you find the words middle class"
regarded as a term Of contumely. In
no other American c.cy will you see so
many individuals drawing comfortable
salaries and yet regarding life as a
hopeless sort of game, hardly worth
the playing. Pittsburghers have re-
duced the art of being pessimistic
to a science.-From Woman's Home
Companion for November.

TWO SHOT BY NEGRO
Motorman and Conductor on Street
Car Killed.
EAST ST. LOUIS CAR RUNS WILD
With Crew Dead and Dying, Runaway
Car Creates Panic-Negro Es-
capes With Small Sum
Taken From Conductor.

East st. Louis, Ill, Dec. 20.--An un-
controlled street car bearing a dead
motorman and dying conductor ran
wild through four miles of city streets
here. The men were shot by negro
highwayman, who escaped with a
small sum taken from the conductor.
According to the few words spoken
by N. P. O'Brien, the conductor, who
is desperately wounded, the negro
boarded the car near Fireworks sta
ton in the southeastern part of the
city. The conductor refused to obey
the highwayman's order to hold up
his hands and struggle ensued.
E. v. Goody, the motorman, is sup.
posed to have started to O'Brien's as
sistance. From the position Of the
bodies in the car it is inferred that
he was shot down while still some
PAGES from the negro. ..
Whether O'Brien was shot In the
first struggle or when trying to pre-
vent the negro's escape could not be
determined. No passengers were on
the car, and with its motorman dead
and its conductor helpless 1t started
on wild run through the streets.
Several times as it rounded corners
without warning from it's gong, Pc
destrians and vehicles were missed by
narrow margins.
The car kept on to the downtown
terminal, where employees of the street
car company boarded it and brought
it to a halt
