Several of the players are suffering

they will be given plenty of oppor-
tunity to get over their ills before
starting the hard conditioning for
the blue ribbon event.
Manager Mack said last night that
he would at once start to put in sub

NORNALS ARE
DOING WELL
FIRST sCRIMMAGE OF THE TEAM
SHOWS SOME EXCELLENT
MATERIAL.
BELL WELL SATISFIED
WITH EARLY WORK OF
ELEVEN.

The first scrimmage OF the Nor
nal team was success and Coach
Ernest Bell is well satisfied with the
showing that his team made. Yester-
day afternoon the boys took adVan-
tage of the straw covered ground left
by the circus and practiced falling
on the ball followed by a stiH TWEEN
ty minute scrimmage the first of the
season.
Coach Bell had four big huskies
out for the first time. These men
made a good showing and will add
much to the efficiency OF the team.
The dummy practice is much in
vogue with many teams. Manager
Bell feels from the showing that his
men make on the field that this form
of practice is unnecessary.
The new uniforms have arrived
and all Of the men who are on the
.-.nl look well In their black jerseys
and Princeton stockings. With new
shoes they are able to take better
stand against offensive playing. From
this time IN there will be daily scrim
images.
Friday afternoon the first tealn
will contest the gridiron with the
second team and by that time the
teams will be roundtng into excellent
condition. The first regular game
is scheduled with Davis and Elkins
college and will be played at South
Side park October 4. There is much
to do to get the grounds in order:
The circus left the field all cut UP
and this will have to be put in con-
dition before the game can be played.
The Varsity team Of the University
is anxious to meet The Normal team
Coach Backman has been .insistenl
for the teams to meet but the local
squad is not ready for such a heavy
team at this time. Later, however,
II may be that game will be sched'
uled.
There is every reason to believe
that the Normal will have the best
football team in the history Of the
school and Coach Bell is working
faithfully with his men to accom-
plish this end. He is a popular train
or and the men are working with a
Willingness that is seldom seen.

GOOD MEN ARE DISSATISFIED
Feel That They Don't Measure Up TO
Own Standards Every Day
in Week.

So you feel that you're a failure
because you don't measure up to your
W standards, every day in the
week?
Buck up, brother! That's the way
all good, go-ahead men feel some
times!
If they weren't dissatisfied with
their performances as well as their
promises, they'd be trotting around In
a circle; and that can business dry
rot, if anyone asks you.
A certain amount Of self-dissatisfac-
ton is the best tonic in the world for

broodin' on bein' a man-like David
Harum's fiea-bitten dog, you know!
AS long as you can find fault with
yourself and your works. you're alive
my friend.
When you get to the point where
you feel sorry for other men because
they aren't such good statesmen, or
managers, or presidents-or porters-
as you, then is the time for the doc
tor to put you on a diet and prescribe
perfect quiet-to keep you from go
ing crazy about Yourself!
Don't get the g1ooms ove self-dis-
trust. Ambition and dissatisfaction

EpILOGUE.

No one ever knew whether the &C.
complished Frenchman reached shore,
ultimately, in the rowboat, or descend
ed to Sabrina beneath the waves. If
that last hasty exit from the deck of
the Sea Gull was also his final exit
from life, certain Ii is that his depar-
ture into the realm Of shades was un-
wept and unsung. The stick of dyna-
mite was found, after a gingerly
search, lying on one of the berths In
the large cabin, where it had been
dropped by the Frenchman In his
flight.
Jimmy Hambleton did not let the
shoe business entirely go to destruc-
ton, though his taste for holidays
grew markedly after he brought his
bride home with him to Lynn. One
year, when the babies were growing
up. he ordered a trim little yacht to be
built and put into her berth at
C~harlesport. She was named the Sea
Gull. Jimmy's chauffeur. called Hand,
was her captain.
Sometimes, when James and Aga
tina were alone, in the zone Of still.
Tess hung over the listening water,
there would rise a song, clear and
birdlike:
Free of my pain. free OF my burden
of sorrow,
At last / shall see thee"
and again Jimmy's heart would rise
buoyant, free, happy--the heart Of I'M
quenchable youth.

ECZEMA ON BACK AND CHEST

my back, arms and chest. 1t broke

Unconquerable Cat.

There is just one animal man has
eve conquered, never can conquer.
Centuries ago every other beast be-
came the slave of nan or else fed
far from human habitation. One and
one only refused to flee or to submit.
This only exception to a world OF
servants and of scared enemies is the
domestic cat. When some animals be-
came mans slaves and others fed
from him, the cat did neither. It
simply took all the favors and ad-
vantages man had to offer, and refused
to do one lick of work in exchange.
Beat a dog and he will fawn on you.
Beat a cat and it will attack you and
then desert you. You can't conquer
the cat. You can't make it work.
