FOOTBALL TANeLES.
Queer Situations That Have Developed
on the Gridiron.

on the Gridtron.
In tie fall Of 1899 Young. the Cor
nell quarterback. received a bad bump
on the head during the first half of
ore of the early games and was so
dazcd that he gave the signal for the
same play eight times in succession.
The rival eleven. unable to compre-
hend such generalship. or, rather, lack
of it, became just as bewildered as
the injured quarterback and in the eff
fort to understand the unintclligible let
the Cornell backs through for a quick
touchdown.
The calling out of numbers while the
opposing quarterback is trying to give
his team the signal for the next play
has resulted in numerous tangles. In
one Of the Army and Navy contests
the quarterback of the latter eleven be.
came so confused in one instance when
the Army players were shouting out
various numbers while he was trying
to direct the next play that he actual
ly gave his men one of the series of
numbers the Army men were suggest

the subsequent mixup may be better
imagined than explained.
On the Yale squad in 1906 there was
n man who was not only a good play
or, but an excellent comedian. 1t was
told of him that more than once he
put this gift TO good account in game
An amusing remark here. bit of a
story there then touch of burlesque
and his rival in the line would forget
for the moment that football is too Sc
rious matter for laughter. 1t is un-
necessary TO add that the comedian
was never so Interested in his own
dramatic efforts as to fail to take ad-
vantage of their effect on the other
man.-Outing.

Instructed the Queen.

Queen Victoria OF England was once
pulled up short by an old ScUtctwo-
man. Her majesty had started out
one afternoon to sit on Il hillside and
watch some of her relatives fishing in
the river below her. when she found
that she had no thimble i'll her pocket,
so could not work. as she had intend
ed at the sewing she was carrying.
Turning out of her way TO Mrs. Sym
ond's shop, she bought the smallest
thimble there. which was, however,
many sizes too big for her. There
was an old Scotch dame at the coun-
ter impatiently waiting to make her
own purchases. Not recognizing the
queen, she broke into the conversation
with "Hoots, but it's a rare fuss an
faddle you're maxim. Blow intae it
weel an it'll stick" That phrase, the
latter part of the sentence. amused her
majesty Immensely and became quite
a proverb in the royal family.

State Mining Bureau.


To the producers of mineral sub
stances in California;
Gentlemen: The law makes it a part
of the duty of the state mineralogist to
ascertain annually the amount and value
of each of the mineral productions of
California, and in order to do this it is
necessary to have a complete and cor
rect list of all persons and companies
owing or operating mines, quarries, oil
wells, etc. The object of this Is to
send out inquiries in order to ascertain
from the replies the amount and value
of the product of the respective proper
ties each year.
These replies are never published,
exhibited to any one, or made public in
any way The figures submitted are
used only in making up totals of the
different substances in the various
counties of the state. The bureau
realizes perfectly that owners of proper
ties do not care to have any one in their
line of business, or any other, know
exactly what their output or its value
may be. For this reason, every care is
taken that such matters will be kept en-
tirely secret. 1t is necessary, however, to
obtain separate individual returns in or
der to make up the totals. For this rea-
son, every one receiving one of the
planks of inquiry is earnestly uged to
fill it out and return it at once to this
bureau giving amount and value of pro-
duct for the year, and any change of ad
dress.
| The annual statistical tables of mineral
production by the state mining bureau
have long been recognized as being the
most complete and correct of those
published in any state in the union.
They are useful to the general public,
but even more so to the producers of the
mineral substances, who may thus learn
exactly the condition of their special
branch each year, the total amount pro-
duced and its value. Ii each producer
will assist the state mineralogist by
| PiOihPtlJ lSplyihS " Inquiries, IHuCll
labor and time may be saved. The
matter is really one of mutual benefit,
the object of the mining bureau being to
promote the mining industry of the state
in every way. One of the ways is to
keep a correct account of what, the
miners are doing and how much wealth
they are adding to the world each year
Without some showing of this kind,
from official sources, the press and
general public will have only vague
idea of what the miners of the, state are
accomplishing. If the miners them
selves will furnish the details Of their
own operations, the state mining bureau
will DO the work of preparing and
publishing the matter in form con-
venient for reference. which will show
to any one at glance the progress and
condition yearly of the different branches
of the mining industry of California.

A LITERARY SIN.
The Fabrication of Quotations Is
Censurabe Practice.

The Fabrication OF Quotations is
Censurabe Practice.
Plagiarism is hardly so great crime
as the fabrication of quotations a
practice which has caused many an
earnest student to waste hours in a
fruitless endeavor to trace the passage
cited Among the guilty Samuel War
ren deserves special mention. On one
occasion he took part in a debate dur
ing which Roebuck boaSted that he
was not a party man. whereupon War
ren rose and said that my learned
friends boast reminds me painfully
of the words of Cicero. He who be-
longs to no party is presumably too vile
for any" At the conclusion of the de-
bate Roebuck came over to compli-
ment his adversary on having made
successful hit, adding, Il am fairly
well up in Cicero, but l have no idea
where can find the passage you quot
ed" Neither have t. said Warren.
Good night"
That literary sin. the fabrication of
quotations. leaves its legacy of trouble
behind it long after it has been com
mitted. Only the other day to week

where in the Scriptures is TO be found

Mountain Apples

Geo. Preston left at our office this
week four apples of the Newtown pippin
variety. They were the product of his
orchard on his homestead at Pine
Grove. In size and flavor they will
compare with apples grown anywhere.
The trees are in full bearing, and give
good account Of themselves every seq
son. 1t is another illustration of what
these foothills will do in the way OF
Fruit raising. One drawback is realized,
namely the uncertainty OF securing
water for irrigation, which is very es-
sential for some crops. He lost a great
portion of his potatoes from this cause
last year. But this question is not an in.
surmountable one. In many places
water can be had in abundance from
wells and with windmill, supple
mented by gasline engine in case of
failure of wind at important periods
sufficient water can be had to cultivate
snug little garden They irrigate by
means of wells in the valleys, certainly
il ought to be easier TO do so in these
foothills.
