Sumter Marks, the Tulane quarter
back, one of the most popular men tn
the New Orleans institution. has been
elected captain of the 1913 eleven.
Speed Elliott, head coach Of the Vir-
ginia eleven, is an advocate Of heavy
schedule for the Charlottesville team.
Most of the other colleges generally
squeal at seven or more games.
Curiously enough, Bill juneau. who
as coach brought Wisconsin's first
championship since 1901 to the Bad
gers. played his last game for the col
lege in the ranks of that 1901 cham
pionship team.
Swarthmore, though invited by
Yale, Harvard and Princeton to sched-
ule football games for 1913, has de-
clined all three on the grounds that
the schedule would be too heavy a
one for the team to undertake and
still do justice to the big games al
ready listed-those with Penn, Penn
State and Cornell.
At a meeting of the Bucknell ath-
letic board the following players were
awarded the football B: Captain Jor-
dan, Hearn. Teamer, Shafner, Richard
son, Dunkle. Sturgis. Cruikshank,
Gdnaic, Keiser. Topham and Reading.'

TASTY PEANUT DISHES

NOT LIGHT SORROW
Childish Troubles Are Very Real

Feelings and suseep-
abilities.

For so long have childhood and
happiness, youth and hopefulness,
been linked by tradition as 4 synony.
nous terms, that only by an effort Of
thought can we associate them. Be-
cause We have lived through the emo
tons OF childhood and into the en-
crossing. passionate interests Of man-
hood or womanhood, the essential fla.
vor Of these earlier experiences Is
lost to US. Our sorrows tend to be
forgotten. At the same time. men,
ory purifies the Joys Of earlier years
by robbing them of their dross Of pain
or suffering The law that the dis
agreeable tends to be suppressed Is
perhaps the most potent force in men,
tai cosmogony.
But this law has its unfortunate
consequences. The diminished sense
OF reality for the things Of our own
childhood often projects itself into
our Interpretation of child life about
US. We seldom treat children as
though they were real personalities.
On the contrary, we handle them ,
we would manipulate puppets; we pay
little heed to their feelings and pref
erences. In their presence we make
cruel comment about their faults to
other persons. We buffet them about
with comments as arbitrary to them
as an ocean typhoon. To many Of US
their sorrows are but foolish tears:
their deepest griefs. humiliations and
disappointments seem but colorless
and transitory affairs.
Psychologically nothing could be
further from the truth Children's per-
sonalities are less genuine and are
subject to sorrows and regrets not
less keen than our own. Their emo
tons are not vague and misty. but
real and compelling. If the parent
or teacher were but granted a mo-.
mentary insight into their reality, in
all its fullness, establishment and some
times humiliation woulu result. In
truth the sorrows of children are
the most real there are. The fact
that they are not so lasting does not
affect the essential fact The child
lives in the present. When that Is
dark, there is no light anywhere. Our
own griefs are mitigated both by the
memory of former joys and by the
hope Of others yet to come. But past
and future arc distractions which the
child mind but vaguely appreciates.
There Is no sadness like the sadness
OF childhood.-Lewis M. Terman in the

PeriIous, but Profitable.

Taking young geese on the island OF
Roma, in the outermost Hebrides, is a
most perilous business, though large
captures are occasionally made. A
crew recently returned with bag of
1900 birds, which found ready sale at
Ness. The men were lowered over
the face Of the cliffs, which are 400
to 500 feet sheer to the sea. They
then lassoed the birds out of their
nests BY means of a fishing rod with
a noosed string at the end. '
