The Seuenth Column
Diary of an Aero "Bo."

Oct. 9, 2009.-My pal is gone. He
must have been a gay cat, for any
profesh would have watched out
could see that we were passing
through a part much traversed by
comets. Where there are comets
there are also flying pieces of comets.
Now if there is any one thing that a
bo must be leary of it is these comet
ships. They get cold so much quicker
than the big hunks, and you can't see
them at night until they bump up
against your mug, and then it's no
telling where you are going to land.
AS soon as l got on the roof of the
aeroplane, l wrenched windguard
loose and covered my head with it.
Then l tied myself to the roof with
my belt. l don't know how or when
the gay cat fell off, for it was too dark
to see. When the sun rose this morn
ing | saw that he was gone.

TAKE FOOTBALL SERIOUSLY.

On that last Thursday IN November
about $3.50 o'clock ia the afternoon,
what IS it that natters more than any
other thing in the world?
a YER ago Oh that date there were
'"o1 peopie sitting around a field in
which were twenty-five men represent
ing two Institutions. Throughout TWO
states there We're twice that number
of persons watching bulletin boards
and waiting impatiently for the out
come of the contest
Why all this interest? Who were
the small band of men on the field and
what did they represent? Was it just
a mere game? The bitterness in the
defeat and the joy in the winning of
that contest prove that it is no mere
game.
If there's anyone who does not rea-
lize to the fullest what that game
means then he probably never will
realize any Of the serious things in
life. AS we go out day after day and
watch the men training and working
in preparation for the final conflict,
do we realize what a serious matter
it is? Do we realize what a little
hitch even at this stage of the game
might mean before the season is over9
Do we realize that word or sign
of encouragement might turn the am
bition Of the best player on the team
and cause him to work hot so hard
and thus influence the entire team to
do the same? In fact, do we realize
just how serious a proposition this
football game is? If we do realize
this then for the sake of all that's good
let us suit our actions and words to
the truth and prove that we realize
it. If we do not think football is seri-
GUS, then we should let up on this
strain and worry and preparation and
apply ourselves to something that is
serious.

Indian Landmarks in Ohio.

In the vicinity of Defiance can be
found trees that many would think
freaks of Nature. Such they are, but
they are created by the hand of man.
According to the stories of some of
the old-timers, these trees are much
older than the present generation has
any idea of and at one time served as
Indian guide posts. 1t is said that in
the early days, when the Maumee Val
ley was one vast woods, the Indians
bent these saplings to indicate GER
tain paths. The trees, because of
their deformity, grew slowly, and al
though they are many years old never
attained the size of their hrethern in
the forests. Similar trees exist near
Fort Wayne.-Tqledo Blade.

To jam the helpless freshman into

New Marriage Laws for Australia.

The new marriage law now under
consideration in Victoria Australia,
has as its object the prevention of
clandestine marriage. 1t provides that
no clergyman shall perform the cere.

have obtained license. An excep.
tion is made, however, for reasons un.
known, in the case of Quakers, who
are not obliged to come before the
marrying authority armed with a per-

ANNUAL REPORT OF
 HAWAII IS GOOD

washington, December 1S.-Hawaii, though losing some of its Oriental popu- lation by emigration, promises to make up the loss in part by births among Ori- ental immigrants. The departure of Jap anese during the fiscal year 1909 far ex- ceeded the arrivals. Among the immi- grants from Japan there has been an in- crease in the percentage of women. These facts are shown in the annual report of Gov. W. F. Frear. Hawaii had a good year. Imports and exports amounted to S61, ,s46, 4s4.
 The condition of the laborers is rather an enviable one, according to the gover- nor. For some years, he says, there has been a growing disposition even among the sugar planters not only to improve conditions of workmen but to increase the numbers of those who will be citizens and homeowners.
 A large proportion of the work of the laborers is done by contract. The result Is that the great majority, or 90 per cent. receive considerably more than the minimum wages paid to an adult male for ordinary work, such minimum being SIS per month, besides house and lot, fuel medical attention and water rent free.
