MONTY DOPES OUT GRIDIRON
By M ONT1

, high sounding title of Conference Cham pons" All Michigan can say is that she played good football and made better scores, if indeed that happens to be SO. The pity of it is that Michigan is un- doubtedly on the football map so far as the ability of her gridiron representatives are concerned and could possibly thrash any one of the conference contenders Last Saturdays game with Case and to- days tussle with the Michigan Aggies showed that Coach "Hurrpy Up' Yost has a bunch of fine material, and he is the very person to whip it into the strong scoring machine invariably turned out by the Ann Arbor institution
 Michigans campaign is being watched more closely than that of any other ream in the country, outside of Yale, Harvard and Princeton. This is because of the fact that Michigan meets Vanderbilt, probably the strongest southern team, and Syracuse, Cornell and Pennsylvania, all worthy missionaries of the east. It is truly a peculiar schedule when a team plays all but one of it's important games against teams from other ends of the country.
 Next Saturdays game with Ohio State does not amount to more than q practice session. but the following week the big ones begin to come. Vanderbilt visits Ann Arbor on October 2S, Syracuse on NoNemDef I, cornell on the llth and Pennsylvania on the 18th, and the Vol verines journey to Lincoln for the Ne braska conflict on the 18th Verify it is q hard route to travel.
 To emerge creditably from such se- ries of ordeals means that Michigan will have to play football of the first calibre and that, not only will Yost need a good eleven. but a good twenty or thirty. For, there will be men laid up, particularly when they go into such fracases as these will be.
 Yost says he has the men to do the deeds. He has lost Benbrook. the all- American guard But he has already developed a good successor for the big fellow in Koliler, giant sophomore, who is eligible this year for the first time. The rest of his outfit is well balanced with scintillating star here and there to provide sensation for tic Michigan rooters. Taking the squad as a whole, it is in Yost's own terms a bully" one and, as said before, it is to be regretted that Michigan does not get shot at the conference contenders for the cham5 pionship.

Ruskin as a Grocer
rom the London Chronicle.

Ruskin was once a grocer. In 1874 he opened shop in PaddinSton street, Not ting Hill, in order. as he announced. 'to supply the poor with pure tea i'll packets as small as they chose to buy, without making profit on the subdivision, larger orders being, of course, equally accepta- ble from anybody who cares to promote honest dealing. The shop did not at tract. Ruskin complained in "Fors Clavl- gera" that the poor only like to buy their tea where it is brilliantly lighted and eloquently ticketed; and as l reso- lutely refuse to compete with my neigh boring tradesmen. either in gas or rhetor- ic. the patient subdivision of my parcels passes little recognized as an advantage by my uncalculating public The shop soon closed down, and the grocery trade lost the most distinguished representative it is ever likely to posts.

Rochester, N. Y, October 4.-(Special) Rochester has an area of 14500 acres, of which 1476 acres are used as public parks.
 The park system of Rochester is one Of the best in the United States. 1t-fs the, result of deep study ahd years of hard work, and has attracted much attention from those interested in the problem of municipal doN elopment.
 Well kept drives attract the motorst and horseman, and on the upper Genesee river within the park limits the canoeist will find opportunity to enjoy his fav- ored sport. in three of the parks play grounds have been laid out for the bene- fit of the little folks.
 In every park provision is made for con oerts by the park band, This is d first

The Connection

From the New York Tribune.
 '.The late Professor Corson of Cornell, said Cornell instructor, had little sy:n- pathy with the freakish philologists. or the modern school.
 'I once quoted to Professor Corson an extremely interesting and odd analogy that had just been suggested for Ces- tic word He smiled. and said that the analogy was about as probable as that which linked fish scales to shingles.
 "A little girl" he explained. 'once asked her mother:
 ''.Are, scales fastened on fish ike shin gles on roof?
 '.Yes. dear. the mother answered. '.Hrhey're. put on that way. of course. said the little girl. to gkeep. the fish from leaking. s1.i.s. A 1s z e s3s

Light of the Firefly

From Harper's Weekly.
 The statement that the light of tirehies and other phosphorescent animals is pro- duced without any sensible degree of heat. has often been repeated without any information as to the quantity Of heat that would be required to produce a. similar amount of light by artificial methods This information is supplied by Professor Mcintosh. He says that a temperature approaching 2o00 degrees Fahrenheit would be necessary to make a light equivalent to that emitted by an ordinary firefy. The enormous waste of energy In all industrial methods of producing light is matter of common knowledge and the example of the fine fly remains unimitated by man. The very simplicity of the mechanism employed by nature in phosphorescent, animals is baf. fling. ..ysi f.3.f et

German Pig Iron Syndicate


From the London Flnanclal Times.
 According to advices received in Glas- gow the remaining iron producers of Luxemburg and Lorraine who have hth- erto held aloof from the Essen Pig Iron Syndicate have at length agreed to throw in their lot with that organization. That removes practically the last obstacle to the general pig iron syndicate which has been so long desired in Germany. It is concluded that the almost immediate ef- feet will be to bring about an advance in German prices, which in turn will be of advantage to British exporters Of Cleveland and Scottish pig iron to Ger many Recently an initial advance Of two marks 47.6 cents) per ton was ad- vised from South Germany

 TOasting the Teachers

Litigiousness is a characteristic vice of early settlers.

The same spirit that enabled them to pene- trate >the wilderness and cope with the forests and wild beasts and sav- ages made them contentious with each other, we suppose.

 Cornell has an excellent set of offeil- sive men in Hawkins at right half, O'Connor at left half and Underhille at fullback. The Ithicans defense has not been duite up to the standard. however.

Girl Who Does THINGS

It Is the girl who does things IN
this world who is attractive, both to
men and to her own sex. which last
counts a little, too, in the long run.
Won may not be able to do great
things, to paint great pictures or to
sing in grand opera, but you can learn
to make bright little things for your
self and your friends. and perhaps to
NAV the light. catchy" airs OF the
dav. so that your friends will enjoy
them: and if you can't do anything
else cultivate the art of talking
hr;cnt,v and of being sympathetic.
Every girl can 20 one thing well if
she will only take the trouble to find
ont what that thing is. The difficulty
is that She often looks in the opposite
direction: size wants to do something
great and ,showy or nothing at all.

reoc,, if she will only look. and these

The Oldest Oak In Enuland.


A correspondent having written to
Mr.. Lewis Harcourt, first commission
er of his majesty's office of works, sug-
costing that for it's proper protection
suitable fence should be placed
around the famous old oak tree in
Hampton Court park, has received a
reply In which the right honorable
gentleman states: This fine old oak
tree in which you are so good as to
take an interest IS especially under
the care of the keepers and the staff
of the park, who have strict instruc-
lions from Mr.. Harcourt as to its
preservation and protection"
The tree, which is situated close to
the south side of the Long Water, is
repIted to be about thousand years
of age, and it is probably the Oldest
oak in England. It's gigantic trunk
two feet from the ground measures
about As feet around, and bein; quite
hollow, offers standing room for about
a dozen persons. The sides, however,
are so sturdy as to give support to a
number of branches, some of them
dead wood, but the greater number
are still alive and come into bud every
year. Some time ago a quantity of
dred grass and paper was placed in
the trunk by, it is supposed, mischiev-
Gus boys, and set alight, with the re-
suit that the old oak was nearly de-
strOyed.-LOndon Telegraph.

liked; dredge large tablespoon of
wheat flour over; put in water to near
ly fill the pie; lay skewers across the
top, cover with puff paste crust; cut

If preferred.
Any small birds may be done in this
