ference in Average Weight of
the Players.

Saturday the old rivals, Rock Island
and Moline high schools, will face each
other on the gridiron in the annual
football game for this year. The con-
test will take place at Athletic park
in Moline. The outcome of the game
IS very much in doubt and the follow
ers of each team are confident of vic
tory. In the face of the record of the
two schools during the past II years,
1t would be hard to venture a guess
on the result unless the guess was
that the game would be a close, hard
fought one. The Rock Island boys
have improved wonderfully during the
past two weeks, and ii they play
against Moline as they did against
Clinton. the maroon and white is
bound to be dragged in the dust. On
the other hand. however. the Moline
team will be greatly strengthened for
the contest by the return to the squad
of Ray DewrOse, one of the strong
men on last years team. DewrOse
was barred from playing this year on
account of a Scrape in which he was
entangled and which got him in bad
with the school authorities in Moline.
He now has smoothed over the diff
culties, and has been declared eligible
again. He will play some position in
the line, just where has not been set
tied as yet.
Comparison of Teams.
Dope shows that the two teams are
apparently even better matched than
usual. In weight the Rock islanders
will have an advantage OF about one
pound TO the man, while in experience
the Moline team will have the edge,
as there are more players from last
years team in the squad than there
are in the Islander squad. The game

Past Record of schools.

The record of the two teams for the
past II years shows that Rock Island
has won three times, lost four times
and tied the remaining four games
with the Moliners. On total scores
made, Moline has a large margin due
to two overwhelming victories over
the Islanders. one of 81 to in 1900
and one of Al to 0 in 1907. Moline
has been blanked twice, while Rock
Island has been kept from scoring
four times. The complete record dur
ing the period mentioned is as fol

French Servants Characters.

1t Is an unwritten law In France that
you must never say anything bad about
q servant or employee in his "charac-
ter"-that is to say, IL you cannot say
anything good you must content your
self with a noncomnittal statement
which will not compromise his pros
poets. For instance, If you have caught
your cook robbing you In such shame
full and impudent fashion that You are
obliged to dismiss her you may not
state on her certificate" that you have
dispensed with her services because
you found she was dishonest. That, 1t
Is held, might prevent her obtaining
situation elsewhere, and as every one
has to earn his bread the cook must
be given the opportunity Of recon-
menclng her larceny elsewhere. All
that you are entitled to say on her
Character If you will not lie and pay
her compliments Is that she entered
and left your service on certain dates.

Armies In Old Testament Times.

ARMIES In via testament HINES.
All through ancient history oriental
armies had no sentinels, and thus in
the Bible King Saul when he was pur-
suing David slept without any guard,
so that David stole up to where the
king lay asleep and took the cruise OF
water at his head with him q Samuel,
XVII. A striking illustration Of this
was when Alexander the Great, ac-
companied by his chief officers, enter
ed the lines Of the Persian army the
night before the decisive battle Of Ar
bella and found that there was not one
of the sleeping host who observed
Them. We can readily see, therefore,
that a panic might occur by sudden
night attack on an army so carelessly
guarded and that Abraham's company
might easily have taken advantage OF
this.-Dr. William Hanna Thomson IN
