SPEAR GOOD ENOUGH FOR HIM
One Experience With White Man's
Weapon Was Enough for
African Native.

When Mr.. Montague, the English
traveller, was In Africa, he gave to q
native an old single-barrsled gun. and
the fellow was delighted. He put in
a small handful Of powder, and about
quarter Of q newspaper on top Of
it, and finally ball, and then rammed
the whole charge down. Then he de-
parted. In the evening he returned,
with his face battered and swollen al
most beyond recognition. What have
you been doing?" asked the English
man, in amazement. The native sat
down on the ground and said. sorrow
fully: "A little after noon found the
track Of Glands, and / followed 1t un-
til found them feeding. l crept up
to one Of them. He was twenty yards
away. rested the barrel Of the
gun on stone, placed the butt
against my nose, directed the muzxle
toward the Gland, and pulled the trig-

for I was blind and deaf for some
time, but when I came to found my

HOW PAPER CAME TO BE
A Wasp In . Garden Was Inspiration

Opportunity.

Long years ago japanese walked
through his pretty garden to his home;
his hands were clasped behind his
back and he was thinking as he cross
ed the bridge to pluck a fresh wiste-
ria blossom that hung just over his
head. This little gentleman had a
great many parcels to send out from
his shop every week, and he had al
ways wrapped them in silk; but this
was expensive material and he need
ed something cheaper for his purpose.
All at once a wasp came fitting to-
ward him, but he thrust 1t away that
1t might not nip his nose, and 10!
there at his hand was wasp's nest!
1t was made Of thin wood pulp, soft
ened into thin paste by the jaws of
the insect, then formed and left
to dry.

thought the Japanese merchant. Get
certain wood, form II into a pulp by
means Of water from the river and

Japanese Pastlme.

Combats between animals OF differ
ent species are source OF great
amusement among the Japanese. One
of the most popular contests is that
between monkey and goose. The
monkey is tied to one of the goose's
legs. by means of cord, and both
animals are set down near the bank
of river, or pond. The goose, stand
ing in dread Of the monkey, seeks for
safety in the water, and the monkey,
afraid Of the water, exerts himself to
the uttermost not to be drawn into It.
As a rule. the goose draws the monkey
into the water, and then the cunning
simian sits astride Of the goose, In
equestrian fashion. The goose then
tries to dive, and the monkey pre-
vents her II he can; and SO the fight
goes on until the spectators tire, and
the animals are released from an un-
congenial companionship.

French Lawyers Went on Strike.
Over 300 years ago one of the most
unusual strikes ever recorded took
place in Paris, when all the lawyers
walked out, 80 to speak. A law or
ordonnance was issued and promul-
gated by the French king, Henry ILL.,,
ordering all lawyers to sign their
pleadings and to state the amount
they were charging their clients for
their services. This was done 80
that the lawyers could be properly and
sufficiently taxed on their income. The
lawyers objected, and the strike, caus-
ing an entire stay Of judicial proceed
ings, followed. Peace was restored
by the non-enforcement of the ordon-
nance. though IL was not repealed.

PROMISES TO BE LIVELY FOR
JoRs-vETERANs ARE BEING
SHIFTED.

The prospects of a winning football
team at the high school this year are
very bright. The best team in recent
years is expected and a number Of
promising new men are out fighting
hard for positions.
McEnroe, freshman, is out for a
line job and will no doubt land a
guard position. He has weight and
speed and works hard all the time.
Pope, a new man, Is out for center
and Is putting up a great fight against
Perry, another new man. 1t is toss-
UP between them at present but Pope
has the advantage of having played
on an eastern high school eleven be-
fore coming here, Early lis out for
a guard position. He is heavy and
with experience and training will
make valuable man.
Captain Nesbit, the high schools
brightest star, Is back at left half. He
will do the punting for the team this
year. His speed is greater than ever
and beyond a doubt he will again be
the best halfback in the state.
Warner. for the last two years a
star tackle. is back again better than
ever. He is brainy player and re-
liable ground gamer.
THEM, last years center, Is out for
left end. He is good at breaking up
interference and getting him man at
the same time, as well as being sure
tackler In the open field.
Elliot, the star guard, is helding
down left guard In great style. He
breaks through the line and stops
plays before, they are fairly started.
Few gains will be made through his
position.
Booth has changed from tackle 10
right end His work shows improve
ment over last year. He is again out
for the drop and place kicking and
intends to make another record.
Hoover is doing some great work at
right tackle opening up big holes in
the seconds line. No matter where
the ball Is fumbIed. he Is there to
recover 1t.
Moe of last years second team Is
making fine showing at right half
and shows a lot of speed on end runs,
hitting the line like a cyclone.
There are a number of candidates
out for quarter. but Rusch has so far
made the best showing. He is good

WOULD CAPTURE
Big LIST OF EVENTS

New York, Sept 9.--Great efforts
will be made to secure team from
the United States for the Olympic
games at Stockholm next year that
will not only sweep the boards In the
field and track events but will capture
most of the other events as well.
More attention win be paid in the
next few weeks to the selection of "a
team for rifle and revolver shooting.
lawn tennis, wrestling, cycling, gym
nastics, etc,
This win mean that more men will
have to be sent abroad. AS the Ann
erican Olympic committee has not the
slightest doubt that 1t will be able to
raise the fund OF $4,000, there will,
however, be no need to be sparing in
the number of representatives that are
sent across the Atlantic.
'gThe programme that has been
drawn up by Sweden" said James
e. Sullivan, the secreatry Of the Olym-
pic committee. lis absolutely fair. No
body is favored and we have no COM
plants to make.
I'VE are going to take care of other
than the field and track events this
time" he went on to say. ''In London
in 1908 we were poorly represented In
the cycling contests for one thing.
Amateur cycling does not amount TO
much nowadays, in this country; but
we hope. nevertheless, to gather a
strong team.
II am afraid 1t win be some years
before we can excel the Germans
Norwegians and Bohemians in gym
nastics. However, during the Iast Ave
yeers wonderful strides have been
made at the colleges in gymnastics,
and when we come to look into the
