HUNTING AND FOOTBALL.

Thirteen men were killed while on

brief open season. That IL the num-
ber of young men killed in football in
the whole country this year. or ~
many Pennsylvanians AZ have died
from this cause in a century. These
figures are offered not to prove that
football IL without . certain amount Of
risk, but to show that all human oc-
cupations are accompanied by some
dangers, says the Philadelphia Inquir-
er. The law Of averages Is remark
able one. It indicates that about q
certain number of persons die each
year from fortuitous causes and II
one class is lacking the other supplies
the deficiency. Parents who ara
afraid their boys will be injured or
killed playing football may be encour-
aged by the fact that 1t is proved to
be one of the most innocuous Of sports.
The danger from death or severe in
Jury In any college sport is not any
thing like so great as that of being run

Human life is precious and must be
conserved. Science has done much for
those who err in certain directions,
but 1t has nothing to offer those who

common sense. 1t is not to be forgot
ten that the mother who kept her boy
home from school because he dream
ed he had died was an actual mourner
few hours later because he fell on
the roof. Let US all act sensibly, with
courage. faith and proper caution.
Those who take the most pains to es-
cape accidents are apt to be the worst
sufferers. but 1t is certain that boyish
sports are not dangerous compared
with the most ordinary avocations Of
adults.
