FITZPATRICK FORCED
into ATHLETICS
BY HIS FATHER

John Reid Fitzpatrick, Yale's famous
football player and all around athlete,
may thank his father for helping him
to win the many honors that have
fallen to him during his time at Yale.
Perhaps had it not been for the care.

letic training and his fathers persist.
ence that he devote much time to ath.
letic exercise he would V have
made the great reputation that is now
his.
When "Kil' (or "Reidie,' as he is
known to. his intimate friends) was six
years old his father sent him to the
N. Y. A. G. as a junior member. Hc
insisted that the youngster must have
physical training. Young Fitzpatrick
didn't care for that line of stuff. but
his father insisted upon it.
Fitzpatrick was never overambitious
to be known as an athlete" said one OF
his boyhood friends, "but his father
kept him at it up to the very time that
xiii entered Yale"
Compulsory athletic training, at Least
in Kilpatrick's case, developed one OF
the greatest gridiron heroes we have
ever produced.

COLD BATHS MAKE ROSES
DEFY JACK FROST'S BITES
Massachusetts Fancier Has Boomers
. All the Year Round.

There are several reasons why roses
are not trellised around the north pole,
one of these being that Peary started
before NJ. +. Darcy Of Andover, Mass,
had got far enough advanced in his
scheme of Eskimo arboriculture to
make the experiment worth trying.
Mr.. Darcy has a hundred bushes
still blooming in his outdoor garden.
One day in November a frost spread
a lacework Of ice crystals over the
ponds of Andover, yet the hardy rose
bushes put forth their frail buds Of
pink and white next day as if nothing
had happened. Yet the place where
they bloom is exposed to the sweep of
the autumn winds.
There is no magic about it, Mr..
Darcy explains. 1t is merely a new
justification of the habit of daily cold
bathing. These bushes get a shower
bath Of unwarmed water every morn
ing before the sunrise. This prevents
the frost from harming them. Their
owner says n can make roses bloom
at any time of the year with proper
care.
Mr.. D'Arcy's rosebushes had two
sets Of blooms in 1909, the first start
ing in June and the blossoms of the
second crop lasting until after Christ
mas.

Cuttina Up Old Furs.

There is a knack of cutting up old
furs with which all women are not
familiar. The pelt should be turned
wrong side up and the skin slowly and
carefully cut with a sharp penknife,
the blade penetrating the skin only
and not touching the long hairs. Cut
ting fur with scissors destroys the
beauty of the hair and wastes much Of
the pelt that might be saved by the
penknife process.

The Moba In Servia.

Servian peasants help each other by
means of an institution known as the
moba. 4 man who has not hands suf-

in the moba-that is to say, invites all
his neighbors to come and help him.
He pays nothing for this service, pro-
viding only generous supplies Of food
and drink, but when any of them ap-
ply for the moba it is understood that
he will take his turn.
