"AN0THER'S SHOES"
A Phrase That Had Its Origin In an
Ancient Custom.

Ancient Custom.
The expression stepping into an.
others Shoes" like many another com
mon phrase. had its origin In an an
cient custom.
The old Morse law required that a
person to be adopted must step into u
previously prepared shoe. This shoe
was made from the skin taken from
the right hind leg of "three- winters
old bull"
The skin was flayed from above the
hook, and out of this the shoe was
made. The person to be adopted step
ped into this shoe, taking into his
arms one at time, 1t is presumed. the
younger sons of the man making the
adoption. If there were also sons who
were Of age they stepped into the shoe
afterward, by this sign showing their
consent to the adoption.
A man in this way could adopt an
illegitimate son. making him his law
full heir, but in that case the father
was obliged to step into the shoe first
II there were any full grown sons.
they stepped into the shoe afterward; I;
II there were no full grown sons, then
the next Of kin did the stepping, and
without his consent, by the way, this
special adoption could not be made.
Witnesses to the ceremony in the
use Of the shoe we're required to es-
tablish its legality.
1t will be seen that this was con-
sidered an important ceremony, and
since so much ''shoe stepping" was
done 1t is not strange that the express
sion as now used passed into common
speech.-Chicago Record-Herald.

Captain Mcintyre Takes Place in the
Line-MaSManus and Woodin
Not to Play Tomorrow.

Those who have been watching the
local high school football team prac-
tice the last few nights have noticed
a considerable increase in the speed
of the team. The lineup has been CON
siderably shaken UP since the defeat
at the hands of Monmouth last Satur-
day, and Coach Harmon expects the
boys TO put up a better article of foot
ball than at any time before this sea
son. Ernest MacManus, the plucky
young quarterback who has been the
star of the team up TO this time. will
not be in the game on account of the
sprained ankle he received in the
game last Saturday. He is improving
rapidly, but the coach has refused to
take any chances on a more serious
injury. Will Woodin, who has been
putting up a good game at guard, will
also be on the sidelnes. The coach
does not think he is in condition for a

Get Reports From Cities.
Appeals to the American league
office were unavailing, but queries
sent to the other cities of the league
brought in the much desired infor-
nation. By averaging and recompil-
ing the figures of the two stars for
the season, it has been found that
Cobb leads by single point.
In 1909 the Detroit wonder bat
ted to a percentage OF .377. while
this year he fattened the mark,
thereby giving him the highest bat
ting average in his career. In 1907
Cobb averaged $50. while he wound
up the 1908 campaign smuggling at
1929 clip. While the figures for the
year are regarded as authoritative,
the local fans are awaiting the con-
frmation from Chicago. which is ex-
pected to follow as soon as Presi-
dent Johnson of the league has COM
pleted his investigation into the af-
fair of last Sunday at st. Louis.

how to use the automobile in their ia

WANT STATE TITLE.
West Ends of Moline and Pc
oria Socials to Meet in
Championship Game.
BOTH EXPECTING TO WIN
Contest to Take Place at Athletic
Park in Sister City-Maroons
Go to Muscatine.

The West Ends Of Moline and the
Peoria Socials will clash Sunday af-
ternoon at Athletic park in Moline in
what is to be the most important indie
pendent football game in the state up
to date. The Socials have always been
contenders for if not in fact the cham
pions of the state, and the same thing
has been true of the West Ends for
several years past. The Socials are to
come to Moline with 20 men in their
squad, and they expect to trim the Mo-
liners. The West Ends are not ex-
pecting to be trimmed easily in fact,
they rather expect to win the con-
test. With the exception of Captain
Johnson and Williamson, all the men
are in good shape and ready to play a
hard game The absence of Johnson
at fullback will be felt, although his
place is well filed by Rains. Stolt-
ing, a new man, is being tried out at
Williamson's tackle.
Team Average 100.
The West Ends figured up their COM
bined weights after practice last ev-
entng and it was found that the team
average is 160 pounds. This will COM
pare favOrably with nearly any indie
pendent football team, as the team is
well balanced, nearly all of the play
ers being within a few pounds of the
average mark. The team which takes
the field Sunday against the invaders
will line up as follows: Carlson, c;
Swanson, lg; Foster, re-; Teats, It;
Stolting. TT; Heffernan, lie; Pierce, re;
Anderson, OBJ; Wolfe, lib; Kipp, RIB;
and Rains, fb.
MarOons to Iuscatine.
The Maroon football team of this
city will go to Muscatine to play with
the Muscatine Athletic clubs football
aggregation. The Maroons have suffer
ed defeat twice this year and they
will be unable to present their strong
est lineup against the Pearl city boys,
but they hope to win, nevertheless.
The teams which they have played
thus far have outweighed and outclass-
ed them.
