 With several of the colleges which have gained more or less importance in football history starting their sched- ules to-day, the gridiron campaign for 1909 receives it's real formal opening. As is customary with the big colleges, what little condition that has been gained by short preliminary prac- tice will be tried on weak opponents, and there is very little possibility that anything out of the ordinary will be seen in the results.
 There is a bare chance, however, that Carlisle will have to play hard to beat villanova. The Catholic collegians proved to be a very sturdy aggrega- ton last year, and held the Indians to a 10 to score and Princeton to 6 to 0. Had Villanova possessed a little more confidence and less stage fright in the latter contest it is doubtful if the Tigers would have gained a vic tory. The contest to-day, therefore should be the best from the point of both teams having fair chance for victory.
 Pennsylvania is the only one of the big college elevens to get under way to-day. Tho Quakers will meet Get tysburg, whom they beat last year, 23 to 4. This contest will be watched closely by the adherents of the red and blue, for the problem of getting a suitable back field is worrying the coaches at Franklin Field. The loss of "Boll'' Hollenbach, one of the greatest full backs seen in years, will mean a big decrease in the efficiency of the Penn" eleven. There is some hope that Ramsdell, a speedy candi- date, will develop sufficiently to fill the old captains shoes, and his work to- day will be watched very closely. Out side of the back field Pennsylvania appears to have team that will be every bit as good as the one of last year.

The conviction of Police Inspector Edward McCann of Chicago on charges of accepting graft from the keepers of disorderly resorts caused a sensation, but the people of Chicago are looking for bigger one when State Attorney John B. Wayman pre- sents further evidence in his posses sion to the grand jury. Already sev- eral men who were under suspicion have left the city, and Wayman de- clares he has information that will place several prominent politicians in an unenviable light, which may send some of them to prison. Efforts are being made to induce McCann to turn states evidence, so that other con- victions may be obtained.

CARPET SWEEPER TOO NOISY.
Dealer Left with Memory Of Good
Joke to Compensate Him for
Loss of Sale.

A hardware dealer in town tells a
story about prim old lady who came
into his store the other day to pur-
chase carpet sweeper. She gazed
here and there about the store as she
entered, and finally going up to the
dealer she looked at him quzzically
over her glasses and asked: DO you
keep carpet sweepers?"
Yes, madam" replied the dealer
and naming the two kinds which he
had in stock, asked which she de-
sired
Well" said the lady, you may
show me both kinds. if YOU will"
just moment, madam, until l get
them from the rear of the store" And
with that he went to an obscure cor
ner and took down the carpe -sweepers
from their hooks upon the wall.
1t happened that in front of one of
the makes which he desired there was
la lawn mower so hung that he had to
move it. He took it down from the
hook and as he did so it rolled along
the floor with grinding rattle
Before he had time to turn around
he heard the old lady shout from the
front of the store: That makes more
noise than my old one, and | don't
care TO look at it." and so saying, she
Whisked out to the door, leaving the
dealer to wonder whether the joke was
worth the loss of the sale.-Portland

say Sir John Millais was not above
taking 10000 marks from soapma-
ker for one of his paintings, to be
used as an advertisement. Nor did
he hesitate to offer other pictures for
the same purpose at the same price.
