Some Cupidity

From the Philadelphia Times
 As they sat on the clubhouse porch discussing the latest engagement, one of the women asked. Do you mean to say that Sally married Herbert out of pure love?'
 Now, how should I know?" retorted another, somewhat impetuously. But if you want my opinion, I think it was adulterated with cupidty."

one through the line. There was ter rife applause when Alabama recovered the ball, and hope was entertained 'that the lads from Tuscaloosa would either win the game or hold the heavier gridion warriors to a negative 5-3 vic tory. But hope fingered but q second. Moodys kick was a very poor one, the ball traveling without speed and very low over the boundary Brought back into play the ball was fiercely fought for during two downs and then the earth opened mp swallowing the Ala bama team. Unmolested. McWhorter crossed the goal after u run of 12 yards. Powell followed with a kick for goal. Play thereafter was bitter but though Georgia repeatedly hammered at the Alabama goal, that line was never crossed.
 Teams Are Analysed
 Alabama's s team is much stronger than last season. It knows more plays, and understands the art of tacllling. It's fight ing spirit still exists unimpaired, and its confidence in itself is magnificent The Alabama rooters on the sidelines never wavered in their support, and at the con clusion of the day they surged over the field to bear their beaten off on their shoulders.
 Alabama's s backfeld is light and does not possess the speed necessary to over come it's lack of avoirdupos. The team for success against institutions of eqaal rank must develop first cas punter, and must depend for gains on repertoire of forward passes.
 Georsias team averages more than 10 pounds, and possesses considerable speed. It's attack is vicious, and it's plays, while not being out of the ordinary variety, were eXcellenty executed.
 The game was cleanly played and de- void of those incidents which tend to de- tract from the interest and disguest.
 The teams are composed of manly fel- lows and each seemed to show a healthy and honest regard for the other.

1t Should Permit Cooperation
Between Competitors
Says No Corporation Has Right TO OBJ
jeot to Sherman Law If it
Prevents Monopoly.

Washington. Dec. 7.-E. II. Gary.
head of the steel corporation, testified
before the Senate committee on Inter
state Commerce, today, that he always
believed it was entirely legal for com
petitors to come together and mutual
ly disclose their business conditions to
steady and balance trade, without
making any agreement on prices.
Gary urged the establishment OF a
Federal commission, authorized to con-
slider the management, character and
extent of corporations. and to permit
certain pooling arrangements when
conditions warranted. He would give
this commission authority to say what
agreements would be permitted.
Gary expressed the opinion no cor
poration has the right to object to the
Sherman law If it means, as he be-
lieves 1t does, that no combination
shall be created with thc purpose Of
creating a monopoly or restraining
trade. Ii corporations are prevented
from doing these things. then the pub
lie is protected, he argued. He thought
the whole question turned upon the
definition OF undue restraint of trade

MlcHioAN's GREAT NEED.
Agricultural Commissioner Needed to
Create Interest in Earmina.

In discussing Michigan's needs for
a state agricultural commissioner.
President Milton A. McRae of the De-
trol Board of Commerce said:
Michigan is suffering seriously
from lack of interest in agriculture.
A widespread and uncompImentary
view of farming has brought agricul-
ture in Michigan TO a discouraging
state The social condition of the
farmer and his family must be given
attention at the same time that plant
growth, soil chemistry and stock feed
ing is studied. The isolation of the
farm is big factor In making il un-
popular with the masses. The rural
statesman of the future will give some
thought toward creating a wider social
intercourse among farm dwellers. The
township-unit school is doing much to-
ward breaking down narrow neighbor-
hood lines. The rural telephone en-
larges the farmers sphere of ready in
tercourse, but still the factor of dist
ance remains. A development and bet
terment of social conditions must re-
suit in direct proportion as the popu-
lation Is increased. Picture every
farm in Michigan tenanted by "A pros
porous farmer and his family. Would
not all the present fancied isolation
disappear? Michigan would become
land of estates, each profitable to its
owner, affording all tho convenience
and social intercourse of the Large
community without the connnng dis
advantages of city life. A state agricul-
tural commissioner can stimulate this
growth i'm population other large
states arc doing this very thing by
means of this Office. Why should Mich
igan be the laggard and ignore her op-
portunitics?

FIFrY-Two YEARS IN PRISON.
Parole or Pardon Asked For Old Con-
vict in Connecticut Penitentiary.

Hartford, Conn, Dec. Among
the thlrty-six convlcts at the state
prison at Wethershcld, whose appli-
by the state Board OF Pardons when
that board meets here next Tuesday. is
John Warren. the oldest inmate of the
prison. who has spent nfty-two years
OF his life I'm that penal institution. In
the fall of 1869 John Warren was con-
victod Of the murder of his wife and
sentenced to prison for life He en-
tered the state prison mt Wethersfeld
November IA, 1859 and has remained
isolated from the outside world ever
since. Several times he appealed to
the Board OF Pardons for his release,
but in every ease his application was
denied. This year ne has again pc
titioned for a pardon and his friends
confidently expect that this time the
Board of Pardons VIII be less obdurate.
The history OF Warren's crime is
rather unusual In the early summer
OF 1869 John u. Warren, then only
twenty zone years old. and his IS-year
old wife lived ON a small farm in Will
iington. little town in Tolland coun-
~. in the northeastern part OF Con
necticut on warm morning In July
OF that year Warren and his wife took
q walk in the woods. 1t was hot and
when they came to brook not far
from their farm, Warren proposed that
they take off their shoes and stockings
and battle their feet in the cool waters
OF the brook. His wife consented and,
having taken off her shoes and stock
ings, waded into the brook.
Warren sprang at her, threw her
down and held her head undor water
until his wife was dead. Just what
fury or passion animated Warren and
prompted him to commit the cold
blooded and apparently unprovozed
crime, has never been ascertained.
Warren himself, although lac confessed
to the crime, has never given any ex-
planation of his action of the motive
Of the deed. He secreted the body of
his wife in the woods, where it was
soon found. Warren was arrested and
put through the third degree. He con-
fessed his crime, but refused to make
any explanatory statement.
After a number of years the warden.
who placed unusual trust in Warren,
relaxed the rigor Of the prison rules to
q great extent so far as Warren was
concerned. The prisoner was made
gardener and for many years he took
excellent care of the flower garden of
the prison and OF the grounds sur
