REMEMBER THE LOVED ONES
Pathetic Religious Ceremony That is
Observed by People Of the
isle Of Ushant.

In the Island Of Ushant-the isle
of Fear"-there exists a custom prob
ably unknown In any other part of
Christendom. When a native dies
abroad or Is lost at sea, his relatives
have a small wax cross made, some
seven inches long. This Ia solemnly
taken to the church and presented to
the priest. who deposits it in box,
shaped like cinerary urn, that hangs
on the south side Of the altar Of st.
Joseph. This Is called the PRO Ella"
cross, and is supposed to stand for
the spirit Of the dead. These memo
rial symbols are allowed to accumu
late In the box till the next church
mission comes round AS these revi
val services are held only once in ev
cry four or five years, the number of
crosses may be very considerable. A
day Is then set apart for their solemn
interment 1t is the great day, the
climax Of the mission. The church Is
draped In black and crowded with
mourning congregation, many of
whom break out into loud wailing
The crosses are brought from their
urn In solemn procession, requiem
mass is said over them, and then they
are carried to the churchyar6. the
iron door Of the tomb is unlocked, and
they are inferred with full honors
Throughout the year hardly a day
passes but some pious soul comes to
sprinkle the tomb with holy water
and say prayer before it for the
dead.--Wide World Magazine.

Fear Is Expressed That He

Coach Stage of the University of
Chicago will not be an active member
of the Midway athletic stan for the rest
of the winter quarter of the Maroon
school, according to the latest change
in the directors plans. He was ex-
pected TO return to the Maroon camp
this week. but has decided to remain
in the east at least until April ] in an
attempt to recover from his recent
breakdown.
Doubts as to the coachs plans were
set at rest yesterday when Mrs. Stagg
and two of the three Stage children left
for Pinehurst, N. c.. to join the head of
the family. Mrs. Stagg declared that
the coach had found it necessary to
take longer rest than he had bar
gained for when he left for the Allan

and would stay at the winter resort
until he regained his strength.

EAST CHICAGO BEATEN
BY HAMMOND POlO|STS
Champions Are Given Sur
prise at the Lewis Rink
on Saturday.

The newly organized Hammond polo
team administered a surprising blow to
the East Chicago polo squad at the
Lewis skating rink Saturday night
when they scored their first victory
from the champs by a close score Of
to 2. 1t looked like white wash for
East Chicago up to the last FIVE minutes
of play, but the champs took a sudden
squirt and captured two goals In short
order Hammond played like old
veterans and did some classy work
with the stick.
East Chicago played hard to gain a
lead on Hammond but Trimble the goal
tender was there every minute and held
the score at safe margin. Both teams
played fast and the game was full OF
exciting plays and with the added in
terest of the spectators you could not
hear yourself talk.
East Chicago was unable to score the
first part and after hard night Ham
mond held them down by a score of 3
to 0. The last period was even more
hotly contested and although Hammond
did not score they contended themselves
by holding East Chicago to a safe
margin OF two points.
For the first time that he has ever
donned a polo suit Panenborg played a
brilliant game for Hammond making a
number of brilliant stops which might
have been sure counters for East Chi
cago. In fact all the players displayed
good talent and is bound to make
winning team from all appearances.
One of the East Chicago men played
an unsportsman like game and although
Hammond did not say anthfng regard
ing the matter. they went home with
different opinion of the player than
when the game was being played. Hs
deliberately swung his club as hard as
he could and If he had struck any of
the men, even on his own side no
might have caused a severe injury to
some one. He was also helped along liz
this by young lady from the balcony
who said, '"If you can't hit the ball, hit
Heintz," which was also an unlady like
| thing to say. If we can't have clean
athletics a ban might as well be placed
| on them, they are detriment to tho
| city itself.
| Hammond's next game Will be played
| Thursday night when they meet Indi-
ana Harbor at East Chicago. THIS
