President Taft named Charles R. Crane for minister to China. but he talked with such undiplomatic yolu- bility before he received his papers that he never got them. Later, from wholly impersona1 motives. of course, he became a progressive. Now, it is reported, President Wilson is about to appoint him ambassador to Russia. Perhaps there is a logical connec- ton, but it's a little difficult to see it. New Haven Register.

In the Gloversvil1e congressional district where all business was shut down and a mighty army marched in protest against the Wilson tariff bill, there were some 5000 votes cast at the last election of which Taft only divided between Wilson and Roose- welt. If that vote were cast today, Taft would probably have the 5000, and the 2.000 would be divided be- tween Wilson and Roosevelt.-Wat ateF- bury American.

Football.

If you are getting on in years-nay,
to the time when the young fellows be-
gin to caution you that it is impru-
dent to run upstairs-it is a good
thing to go out to a football game and
renew your youth A perfectly silly
thing, a football game, you think as
you see the struggling, swaying mass
in the middle Of the field. And the
cheer leader Did you ever see any
thing more ridiculous than the utter
seriousness of his manner as he sol
EMMY calls for nine 'rahs' for So
and-so?
But as the game progresses and you
see some thrilling runs around the end
and some reckless tackIing and some
nervy line bucking, all for the honor
of the team and the college-Well, you
| begin to warm up. Before the last
quarter is over you have picked your
team, if you hadn't one to start with,
and are pulling franticaIly for it to get
the ball across that stanchly defended
goal line.
After all, youth is a great thing. The
well-fought college football game, with
it's fine abandon and it's compelling en-
thusiasm and it's fervid admonitions
from the rooters to 'Hold-that-
line!" makes the blood flow faster
through the veins of the most sedate
person of middle age.-Kansas City

Indians Have nEireMatsr ,,

the Ray river country to investigate,

he found a happy lot Of Indians
among whom ''irewater' was quite as
common as it used to be down in Ken

buck" was the proprietor of a brew
cry" and that life south of the Great
Slave lake was one long and joyous
spree. A strange white man had sold
the secret of making 'firewater" to
the Indians, and they were making a
brew of potatoes, hops. sugar, and
yeast, which, when allowed to fer
ment, was strong enough to cause in
toxication During the summer
months the Indians raised potatoes
for this brew, but in scarcely any in
stance can they be persuaded to grow
anything for food.

Iron Clothes With Their Eent.

A writer in the Wide World Maya
zine says that the most curious sight
he saw at Cairo was men ironing
clothes with their feet. The men
were employed in the native tailoring
establishments. Except for a long
handle, the irons were shaped like the
ordinary fat-iron, only larger. A solid
block OF wood rested on the top of
the iron, and on this the men placed
one foot, guiding the iron in The de-
sired direction by means o. she
handle. For the sake of convenisuc8,
ironing boards We're raised only d Jew
inches from the ground and however
strange the method may. seem to Us,
the work was done very well and very
eXpediti0usly.

Grief made Gloria insensibie to the
flight OF time, and how long she had
been PROSTATE on the floor before
sounds on the stairs aroused her she
did not know. Thinking that it must
be Mrs. Hayes returning with a ply
stefan, she rose hastily and tried to
remove all traces of her tears. She
wished above all to avoid explanations,
and if none was asked she did not
wish to have her grief misconstrued.
But it was not Mrs. Hayes, for Gloria
could hear the heavy tread ascending

Little Ella was restless and roll 81
and tossed in her sleep. The daughter
Of David Kerr looked with pity upon
her Her discipline was too new, her
spirit was still too untamed for her to

that she was herself without the caste
she thought was hers, she had not
come to know that on the last great
day there would be only the Judgment

poor, OF the wise and the ignorant, of

There was also much which she
could learn from this bit of fiotsam

NEW GUinEA'S QUEER TRIBES
Claim Dog as Ancestor and Sill prac.
tee Sorcery and Canni-
bslism.

There seems to be no end to the
stories OF strange people and customs
TO be found in New Guinea. The
latest news from this island is given
by Mr. W N. Beaver, resident magis-
trate in the western division of New
Guinea.
Two OF the most interesting eypedi-
tons in which Mr. Beaver took part
were to the Clara country, which for
three parts of the year is almost en-
ttrely submerged
These people claim descent from q
dog. They possess five totems, which
are drawn on all their houses. Their
villages are erected on hillocks so as
20 be clear of the water, and the pee
common house.
The center of this huge building is
kind of common hall which is
used only by the men The women
are not allowed to enter the building
by the same door as the men.
In the wilder parts Of the country
the chief is himself a head sorcerer
He claims to be able to separate his
spirit from his body and to send it
on various missions, including that
Of killing people. Quite recently a
number of sorcerers went by the
house OF q native on whom they cast
a spell by pointing at him a human
bone They afterward murdered their
victim
Mr. Beaver explored a large tract
of country in Dutch New Guinea,
where the majority of the people had
never before been visited These
were very primitive folk, armed with
bows and arrows. They assume a
fierce aspect by inserting kangaroo
claws in their nostriIs and by wear
ing in their hair artificial tails ex-
tending to their waists.
In one district near Daru it is the
custom to brand, by means of mark
on the shoulder, girl children with
the mark OF the men they are subse-
quently to marry. Cannibalism still
exists
One of the most curious movements
that has recently been brought to
light prevails along the northeastern
coast. It is known as the Baigona
movement, and its operations almost
approach sorcery. Great respect is
paid to snakes, none of which is al
lowed to be killed.
