HOW THEY GOT THERE.
IIowa CITY Republican. !

An Iowa City business man return
ing from Des Moines at a. N. noticed
several dark forms hastily detaching
themselves from the train and quickly
heading toward the sleeping city. A
vigilant night officer also observed the
bunch of some twenty grimy. disreput-
able looking fellows and shouted a
command to halt at the same time
sprinting after the supposed hoboes,
disappearing in the gloom.
However. no depredations were COM
mitted by this band. as business men
and officers learned during the day
that the gang wer( merely high
school students of this city. They were
just home from Grinnell, where they
attended the basketball game, making
the trip to and fro in the informal man
ner usually resorted to by Weary Wag-
giles or Dusty Rhodes when pedestrian
ism has become tiresome.
On Friday afternoon, the boys clad
in their tackiest clothing. including old
sweaters. headed for the Rock Island
tracks, disdaining the usual visit to
the ticket office. "On to GrinnelP was
their slogan and the persistency and
resourcefulness of the boys was shown
when the high school five came out
on the floor for the game at Grinnell
in the evening. A commotion in the
gallery attracted their attention, where
in the midst of a large crowd of gaily
dressed boys and girls of GrinneN, sat
the undaunted twenty. No sign of rec
ognition passed between the athletes
on the floor and their fellows in the
gallery. the usual strawberry marks
of Identification being too deely hidden.
A pair of shining eyes and cleaning
teeth was all that showed from each
dark, oval snutted face, and in mo-
ment the assembled were startled by
the Iowa City high school yell. which
was given by the supposed rough
house" gallery occupants. with a vol
ume and abandon that would have dis
credited its famous rebel prototype.
Every member of the party was pres
ent altho the obstacles encountered in
Cumming the sixty-ni1e miles should
have discouraged the older hands at
the business.
Only three of the party found it pos
sible to reach their destination on the
same train on which they had en-
barked. Several of the boys were com :
PEELED to Change cars" frequently, and
in one instance a hike of six miles on
foot over the ties was an incident of
the trip.

The newspapers are busy retailing
the sorrows of Philander Il. Knox

Knox family for Philander's father was
a banker and presumably rich man
as men went at that time. 1t generaily
takes but one generation of wealth TO
spoil a family but Philander seems to
have had brains, used them ana mas
made good. The danger that his son and
his sons son shall become idle and dls-
solute loafers is thus accentuated. That
kind should logically produce one OIL
those mixtures of man, moneky ana

injection of good honest working blood
with a memory OF poverty is the pest
thing that could happen to the family
future. 1t is pretty hard on practlcai
sensible woman TO be burdened WITH
one of the degenerate sons of the rich
but it is good for the human race.
If the shop girl is no better than
the boy no great harm has been done.
Perhaps it is better not to spoil two
families with them.
If young Knox and his young wife
were to forget all about Philander's
money and go to work earning a decent

How to Sow Flower Seed.

Many OF the failures with flower
conditions. It is impossible in this
space to give directions for each and
every variety. The cultural directions
found on nearly all the packages OF
flower seeds sent out by the differena
seed houses, will give you a good idea
Of the culture Of each variety.
Our aim in this article is to give you
special directions for sowing the finer
seeds, those which have to be planted
satisfactory results from them next
pansy, verbena, helitrope, saliva, car
nation, early asters, petunias and
many Of the hardy perennials.
In planting your seeds it is best to
secure shallow pots or small sized
boxes not larger than IL inches square
using a rather light, sandy soil, not
very rich, and see that your boxes have
holes bored in the bottom for drainage
so that all surplus water will be
drained off. A few pieces Of broken
crock or small stones should be scat
tered over the bottom OF the box before
the soil is put in.
After filing your boxes about two
thirds full of good soil, patting down
level with a brick or small board, give
a thorough watering. letting 1t stand
for several hours. Then fill your box
to within an inch of the top with more
fine. soil. patting this down firmly and
smoothly-this is very important.
If your seed is very fine. scatter 1t
on the top and again press the seed
down with brick or board and do not
cover at all unless very lightly.
Seeds as large as pansy or verbena
should be covered lightly. perhaps one
eighth and firm the soil we'll. Then
give good watering but do not make
the soil mushy or very wet. A pane OF
glass covered with two or three thick
nesses Of newspaper placed over the
top of the box until they are coming
xhru the soil will aid them very much
in terminating quickly.
Keep at a temperature Of so to 10
degrees and water carefully, as needed.
After seed commences to come thru,
give full light but gradually accustom
to the sun. To omit a single watering
or too frequent watering often leads to
a failure. At all times they should have
an abundance OF light. otherwise the
young seeds are liable to damp of.
Should you notice this dampening off,
a little bright sand thoroughly dried
in the sun and scattered lightly on the
soil where the young plants are damp
ing off will often absorb the moisture
and thus prevent any further trouble,
AS soon as the seedlings can be
handled they should be transplanted
into similarly prepared boxes and about
one inoh apart, each way. In trans
planting. firm soil well; then take a
sharpened stick or lead pencil and see
that the roots are well down in the
soil and that the soil is we'll firmed
around each little plant, planting them
down to leaf axiL.

YALE Is HELD DOWN.
Vanderbilt Succeeds in Playing
Scoreless Game.

NEW HAVEN. Conn.,, October 22.-On
a wet field and in q drizzIing rain. Yale
kicked off. Vanderbilt tried end plays
in lively style. but could not gain against
the Yale backs.
In the first period. both teams tried end
and line plays. When gains did not
come punting was resorted to, although
the ball was heavy.
Stroud made one long run through
broken field. Vanderbilt was even
more aggressive than Yale.
In the second period after the kickoff
from Vanderbilt's :,0-yard line, Yale kick
ed over the visitors goal for what look
ed like safety against Vanderbilt, but
it was not so given.
After that the playing was in Wander
bits territory. the ball changing hands
constantly. two attempts by Yale at field
goals being blocked, giving the visitors
the ball.
