Those who weigh their words do
not always speak with weight.
Your faults are better known by
your equals than your superiors.
Sometimes the incest thing about
having company is seeing them go.
7 A woman would rather not know a
secret than not have anyone to tell it
to.
1t appears inconsistent for person
to get into tantrum arguing relig-

More trees are cut down at Christ

All of us have something to be
thankful for if we but stop to think
of it.
In the East women are learning to
run elevators. Is this going up or
down?
The girl who only has one man to
choose between usually is married the

With two young ladies on the sofa,
give man an inch and he will get

fault is not with the neighbors.
Every man has an inalienable right
to workout some do not insist on
exercising all their prerogatives.

ONE. WHITE ROSEBUD
OLD SOLDIERS TRIBUTE TO
HIS FRIEND, POLK MILLER

A white rosebud, dropped on the
casket atop Of the mass of floral de-
signs and beautiful cut flowers of
Polk Miller by an old Confederate vet
eran just before the funeral services
yesterday, was one of the most touch
ing incidents relative to the passing
of the soldier and the veteran enter
tainer.
The veteran in his gray shoddy
uniform, his shoes dusty from the
long walk from the Soldiers home. his
gray hat in one hand, and a single
rosebud in the other, toiled his way
up to the residence of Withers Miller
few minutes before the last rites
were held over the body.
He was friend of Polk Miller's,
He had snapped stories with Polk
Miller, and he had laughed and cheer
ed when the veteran, who had passed,
had entertained him and his COM
rades at the home with the yarns and
the rollcking songs.
And he had come to pay his tribute
Ia the memory of the dead. IT was
not much only a single white rose
bud; but it carried with 1t as much
in sentiment as did the greatest and
the most expensive of the handsome
floral designs. 1t was veteran
token to friend and a comrade, and
the donor, had walked with feeble
hating steps for nearly two miles to
lay II among the offerings of societies.
organizations and wealthy individuals,
The veteran did not remain long.
He came, placed the bud on the
casket, and with It dropped tear.
Then he turned and departed. He had
a long walk before him, and he was
feeble.

Cornell Scrubs
Spring New Play

ITHACA, n. Y, Oct. 22.-Cornell
varsity was given a dose of plays of
the PittsbuTg variety in a hard scrim-
mage this afternoon, and for the first
time this year the scrubs put II over
the varsity. The scrub team scored
twice on the Cornell varsity and
threatened on two other occasions,
when their forward passes were inter-
cepted. The regulars faced a new
formation, the ends and tackles OF
the scrub team being drawn back.
while two of their backs went up to
the line. When the ball was snapped
the tackles and ends rushed to their
old positions, thereby forming inter-
ference for the backs, who made big
gains around the varsity ends and
about tackle. The regulars failed to
diagnose this play, and hence the
scrubs maintained an advantage all
through the scrimmage
