No grave was dug. no nags came

This was ever tho law of tho sea.
And husbands clunG to their wives

Till their eyes were misty and could

Now wrapped in silence those heroes

AT rest whero no monumep. ever

All alone on an Icy sea.
All alone meath a cloudy alty:

Giving only ono last long cry:
Those heroes who would not live in

Claiming like mon the right to die.
Soldier and sailor and Millionaire.

That our men died ony az heroes

DOG WINS "A FOOTBALL GAME
Members Of Columbia Squad Are i
spired by Sight Of Canine Attack
ing Red Hot Poker.

sA remarkable turning of a game
between the halves occurred at Ithaca
u IN 1905. Cornell led Columbia by six
20 nothing when the teams returned
20 the dressing rooms. Columbia had
not recovered from wearing game
with Princeton the week before.
Many Of the men were overtrained.
Inere was distinct feeling of the
nopelessness Of it all when the play
ers lay down upon the floor and
benches 81 Only Bill, a white bull ter
r1er mascot, showed signs Of livel1n-
ess It was cold in the dressing
room and trainer shook the ashes
IN the stove. He used poker. the
end OF which became red hot. When
{ nnally he laid down the metal rod the
red Wh1tened, but the heat remained.
Bill, deciding that the poker was to
be played with like a stick, caught the
heated end in his mouth. Instantly
his lips scared and turned black. Bill
only shook the poker harder. Two
men grabbed him and tried to force
him to- open his mouth. But Bill
fought back and finally they had to
choke him before he would loosen his
grip. It was then that Coach Morley
nudged Captain Fisher and pointed to
the dog. Catching the idea, Fisher
sprang to his feet and built up a
speech around Bill He compared
Bits nerve to the teams and asked
the men If they were not ashamed
Of themselves. His closing sentence
was: Just play for Bill, Bill, Bill!''
When Columbia returned to the
held, Bill, yelping furiously, led the
way. All through the half the team
heard him barking from the side-lines.
Said Won saltza, the big tackle, after
the game:
We heard every yelp, and it sim
ply drove u.s.
Also, Bills yelping was so good that
Columbia won out, twelve to six

EARLY USE OF ICE SKATES
Holland Conceded to Be Birthplace
OF Skating and Undoubtedly First
Practiced There.

To "necessity's sharp pluck" not to
q desire for amusement, says the
New York Evening Post We owe the
invention Of skates and their early
use. Holland is conceded to be the
home and birthplace of skating, and
1t was undoubtedly first practiced
there and in the far north.
In country Of lakes and canals the
necessity Of walking and running on
the ice must have been felt from the
earliest days, and, indeed, they were
found in one of the mounds on which
q Friesland village was built. The
skates We're fastened to the feet by
straps passed through holes made in
the bones. A Danish historian men
tons the sport in 1134.
The bone skates were also the kind
first used in England. Fitzstephen,
In his account of the amusements Of
the young people on the ice in Lon
don during the latter part OF the
twelfth century, notes that it was usu-
al forsthem to fasten the leg bones Of
animals under the soles Of their
feet, by tying them around their
ankles, and then taking a pole, they
pushed themselves forward by strik-
ing against the ice, and moved with
great rapidity. #
