years ago that when people came t.
this window l had to be a walking
geography for them. They didn'
know where they wanted to go, mol
how, and they always asked the
names Of all the towns they would
pass through. They wanted infor.
nation as to what was the place just
before their own destination, where
they could get their meals, and ev.
cry little detail about the whole trip
MANY of them insisted, too, on
telling their whole family history
where they were going and why. how
glad the folks would be to see them
and when they would be back. They
were not worldly wise nor much So
phisticated. Careless youth would
laugh at them today. perhaps; at
their simple questions and their naive
frankness. But they were whole
hearted and whole-souled, and of
common sense they had goodly
store if not of polish and book larn-
in.
But now the ticket selling busi-
ness is a different proposition. Most
people come to the grating with a
well-defined notion of just where
they want to go and in many cases
just how much it is going to cost.

conductor mildly suggested that may

OUACKS AND FAKERS.

There are undesirable members in
all professions, but ordinarily they
harm no one but themselves. In few
o. the callings upon which the public
is most directly dependent, however,
there exists actual danger.
This is especially true of the med
ical and dental professions. If
quacks are permitted to put out their
shingles freely what chance has the
stranger to choose a competent ad-
wiser?
1t is one thing to be a menace to
the profession, and quite another to
bt menace to the public health. If
the health officers, especially in the
larger cities, could be induced to
KEEP an eye on the Quacks and fax
e.. ), benefit of no small proportions
would be worked for society.

Plays That Made
Football History

While eleven men compose a foot
ball team. some one man on the
team sometimes does what all the
rest cannot do. This was the case
in the Missouri-Ottawa game in 1901.
when Izzy Anderson broke up the
pay that meant certain defeat for
the Tigers.
Ira T. G. Stone, cashier of the
Central Bank. tells the story.
"A mass play around our ends -
said Mr.. Stone, ''bade fair to defeat
us that day. Already it had caused
one touchdown against us. The
score was to and Ottawa was
going down the field, using this
mass play around the end, for an
other touchdown. 1t seemed that
nothing could prevent score. At
last the coach sent in Izzy and told
him to. break up that play. He
took his place at end and Ottawa
tried the play around his end.
Five men formed the interference
for the man carrying the ball. IzZy
dived under them all and stopped
the play without gain. Two Otta-
wa men and IZzy were injured. In
a couple of minutes the teams again
lined up. Again the play was
massed around Izzy's end. Again he
went under the interference and
broke up the play. This time Izzy
and two Ottawa men We're uncOn-

ried off the field but fortunately for
the Tigers IzZy was revived and kept
his place. The mass play around
end was not tried again, and the day
was saved for Missouri.
up to that game Izzy had not
been considered good enough to MAKE
the team. But there was one thing
about him, and that was that he
would do exactly what the coach told
him. In that way he was an idea.

in and break up that mass play he
