A Plea for Foot Ball Reform.
lie Editor Of The Star

10 the EultOr OF Inc star:
I would like the privilege Of expressing
through your columns my views relative
to the terrible results of foot ball games
OF this and previous seasons Must the
interest of so-called sport require the re-
peated sacrifice of human life? Is this
not in substance degeneration to the
contests of the gladiators? The advocates
of the sport do not seem to be willing
to recognize this situation. At least no
steps are taken to relieve il. Is not the
game as now played. taking into account
these frequent sacrifices. worse than the
bull fights of the Spaniard which we will
absolutely not tolerate? Must the inter-
ests OF sport demand that the man who
enters the grfdirOn stand ready to sac
rlnce his life to the game? In progress
sive America must the game, that was
originally game of foot ball. literally
be distorted into a game the methods of
which repeatedly cause broken vertebrae,
fractured skulls and brain conclusion, to
say nothing of less serious Fractures and
dislocations? l have been personally ac-
quainted with a Scotchman who entered
one of our schools with a good knowledge
of the game of foot ball as played in
Scotland. but was unable to obtain a
place in the schools foot ball team here
because in the game with which he was
familiar to touch the ball with the hands
was to cause a foul. Yet he was so ex-
pert that he could keep tennis ball
in the air by kicking il with his toe.
Cannot game of skill and interest be
be freighted with such unnecessary
slaughter and still be attractive to the
onlookers and stimulating as a friendly
contest between the young and ardent
blood OF our educational institutions?
Until such can be done we ough. to be
well able to dispense with the thrill of
the foot ball fight.

WOMAN.

Unnamed and forever the tameless.
The frail and forever the free.
unShamed and forever the shameless
The top of creation is she;
All llcivilizations have passed her
And left her barbarian still.
And the man who had dreamed he !,
master
is simply slave of her will.
She shippers and glances demurely.
And looks like a saint as she goes.
AS sweet as lily, yet surely
She's leading some man by the nose.
For hers are the primal resources
OF strong, unregenerate sense:
Duplicity marshals her forces
And art is her subtle defense.
Oh, man. you may marvel and wonder.
May reason and argue and fret:
Oh, man. you may buster and blunder
You never have conquered her yeti
You lecture and tutor and teach her.
But still she is ever the same.
The free, irresponsible creature
That nothing can fetter or tame.

We shall go to the days work with .
sweetef spirit for IL,
Let us take time fog the evening
prayer. Our sleep will be- more restful
if we have claimed the guardianship of
God.
Let Us take time to speak sweet, fool
ish words to those we love. By-and-by,
when they can no longer hear US, our

our best wisdom.
Let US take time to read our Bible.
It's treasures will last when we shall
have ceased to care for the war of politi-
cal parties, and rise and fall of stock,
or the petty happenings of the day.
Let US take time to be pleasant. The
small courtesies, which we often omit
because they are small. will some day
look larger to US than the wealth which
we covet, or the fame for which We
struggled.
Let Us take time to get acquainted
with our families. The wealth you ar,

HOW OUR FORESTS ARE GROWING,

The original forests Of the United
State covered $50. 600, 900 acres and
contained five hundred and twenty bill
lion feet of lumber. This acreage has
been reduced by extravagant waste to
$50. 900, 900 acres, containing less than
one half the original amount of stand
ing timber. The total annual loss from
fire, storms and insects ia estimated to
be 20. 900. 600, 600 cubic feet. The annual
growth Of our forests is stated to be not
over IL cubic feet per acre. and we are
cutting twenty billion feet annually. So
that. IL we add the annual cutting to the
annual loss the trees are cut about
three times as fast as they are grown.
Germany cuts 81 feet per capita and
france but "a cubic feet while we are
cutting $50 feet each year. If the en-.
croachment OF farming land upon the
forests continues at the present rate
the total acreage of forest lands will
soon be reduced to $50. 600. 900 acres.
Compare this with the original $50.
000. 900 and we have some idea of the
rapidity with which we are DESTROYING
our timber lands, and to that extent
bringing on condition of chronic
drought. The sooner we get down to
concrete houses and buildings the better.
for 1t will soon be that lumber will he
more costly than stone, even of the
artificial sort.

SOME DAY.

Some day I think you will be glad TO know
That have kept you ever in my heart.
And that my love has only deeper grown
In all the time that we have lived apart
Some day when you have slipped awav
from care,
And idly fail to dreaming of the mast
And sadly think Of all your life has
missed
Will you remember my true love at
last? 90
Or will It come to pass some dreary
After day that has been hard to
When you are weary, heartsick and for
And there is none to comfort or to
care;
That you will close your tired eyes and
OF tender kisses falling soft and light
VI restful touches smoothing back your
hair
And sweet words spoken for your
hearts delight?
Perhaps. then, you'll remember and be
That SO long have kept you in my
And that your SOULS true home will vet
be there
Although we wander silent and apart.
