Tackling Dummy Used.

The men We're lined up by Bennion

The man who fell hardest and took the
greatest amount of skin of the end Of
his nose or his shoulder was pronounced
to be progressing most rapidly,
After the fellows began to look pretty
we'll all In because OF this treatment and
were expecting TO be excused any min
ute, they were set to diving at the tack
ling dummy and charging machine for a
couple of hours more Then, after they
were so tired that the whole forty men
could not have. whipped the two coaches,
they were made TO get into big circle
and learn something about catching a
football.
This Is rough treatment for the first
day, but it will show the rockies that
football and croquet are not a great deal
alike and that they will have plenty TO
do before they are permitted TO bump
up against the huskies on the other con-
ference teams.

TIME NEEDED TO CLEANUP

Some people are disposed to
complain because things do not
move faster in Washington.
They are fretful under the seem
ing delay in passing the tariff
bill and other measures. But did
any party ever before have SO
many different things to do. and
all at once?
Think of the amount of rub
Dish and even filth that had to
be gotten out of the way! The
accumulation of more than a
quarter century of Republican
misrule had to be gotten out of
the way or corrected. Then,
there have been those whose
special pleasure it seems to have
been to hinder as much as nos
slble the work the administra-
ton was trying honestly to do.
Come to think of it, perhaps no
administration has ever done as
much in the same lentgh of time.

THE VIRGINIA MOUNTAIN
EER.

Prof. John II. Aswhorth, of
Johns Hopkins University, con-
tributes an article to the July
number of the South Atlantic
Quarterly, which has awakened
the country generally, as far as
the article has been read, to the
manner in which novelists, mag
aizne writers and newspaper re-
porters have misrepresented the
mountain people of Virginia and
other Southwestern States. The
article is entitled 1.-The Virginia
Mountaineers," and shows con-
clusively by facts and official
statistics, that portrayals of char
acter, customs, ect. of the noun
taineers of Virginia, Tennessee
and Kentucky, are entirely in
accurate, misleading and SANDER
Gus. The trouble is that books
and articles about the customs,
modes of life. feuds, etc. of
twenty-five or more years ago,
are taken as representing actual
conditions today, ignoring the
fact that this country has made
wonderful strides within that
period Of time.
Prof. Ashworth is himself a
Virginia "mountaineer," having
been born and reared in Bland
county, hence speaks with au-
thority. Nevertheless, it is to be
hoped that we havn't seen the
last of such charming stories as
THE Trail of the Lonesome
Pine" and "The Little Shep-
herd of Kingdom Come"
