Last Seasons Troubles.
In that category of evils is defined every
thing which was put in use last year to
put the man catching the forward pass
out Of commission before he got his hands
on the ball. In effect it means that if a
forward pass is merely touched or fun bled
by a player, no player on either side may

player except in a bona ide effort to get
the ball.
1t Is not going to be very difficult to
tell the difference between a bona fide at
tempt to get the ball and a bona fide at
tempt to drop the man who is about to
catch the bali There are not likely to be
played SO many Of those tricks this year
by which players in concerted attack got
rid OF the man who was about to receive
the ball. If one player jumps for the bail

that, the rule makers are quite confident
that they have put it on a basis where it

has been since the day it was adopted.
! 1t Is very we'll known that the oppo-
sitfon which aligned itself against the
play came from men Of substantial expert

| they deemed il to be one Of the most
| harmful plays Of all football strategy.
They did not think that It was rood foot
oali, to begin with, nd did not think that
the player trying to catch the BAN had
anything like adequate protection against
field OF charging men. and very likely
there was q great deal more truth than
poetry in their contentious.

They must not forget that when the

Players in other elevens probably had
their full share of trouble trying to ge.

men VINO were determined that they
should be eliminated from all possible

With between $4,000 and 10000
pensioners on the rolls, Pension Clerk
E. L. G. Scott, of the Office of the Au-
ditor OF Public Accounts, yesterday be-
gan the annual distribution of state

amount was made up by special
emergency appropriation in the Legis-
lature. The sum of pension money was
increased to SAFE, 900 for this year, and
of this about 1856 5000 will be distri-
buted this month. The remainder OF
800, 900 was spent in the June distribu-
ton, which comes under later act.
The money now being paid is under
the acts of 1900 and 1902. The checks
are for the year beginning September l,
1910, and ending September l, 1911.
All pensioners are urged to be pa
tient, since there is limit to the capa-
city of the Office force. From 500 to
600 checks will be mailed every day.
The State will be taken alphabetically,
beginning with Accomac county, and
running down through the list of 100
counties and eighteen Cities Rich

els Like a Book.

els Like Book.
In some ways the Arabs of the
desert resemble the Indians. A
traveller writes: tt'The Shcrrarat are
all very good shots, and their skill
in tracking is also very great, for
these nomads, like the red Indians
or the Hottentots, have reduced the
practice of tracking to a science.
Half the life Of Bedouin is spent
among the camels. From early
childhood, when he is sent out to
guard the herds, until he is too old
to ride out on raiding expeditions
camels form the chief concern of
his existence. They are herdsmen
by profession. Without the camel
life would be impossible in the des-
crts of Arabia. Small wonder, then,
that camel talk is as interesting to
the Arab as the camel itself. It is
his only means of information, and
by constant practice the true Bed
ouin can read the footprints like a
book. They are science and gossip
to him. This art is called affair.
"On several occasions when trav-
cling by night my hunter stopped
his camel and after a short exami-
nation Of some camel tracks ex-
claimed that it was raiding party
of such a number and of such a
tribe, and on each occasion l proved
him correct. In daylight he could
determine the exact number of
camels from mass of tracks all 60
ing in one direction and could also
say how long ago they passed and to
what tribe they belonged. Maraud-
ing bands always leave a long,
straight, compact line Of footprints,
as. of men travelling fast, close to-
gethcr and with an object. Even
on hard, stony ground, where the
camels leave little or no impression,
they could tell exactly the time at
which the owners passed that way
and deduce the extent OF their wan
behring's.
"Anothcr most interesting GUS
tom of the Sherrarat is their habit
of fortune telling. On every pos
siblc occasion when in doubt as to
the way, in danger Of marauding
bands, in want Of water or even
when hunting and in doubt as to the
age Of an antelope track they pro-
coed to tell their luck before ven
turing. 1t is simply done by smooth
ing out the sand and making at
hazard several rows Of marks in the
sand with the fingers. An even
number is bad omen, an odd num-
