Some weeks before his last illness

guests were restrained by respect for
etiquette from waking him, but con-

The bluejay builds its nest about
twenty feet above ground. It is made
Of twigs and fine roots. From four to
six eggs are laid. They are Of green

Doubtless the bluejay helped to
name itself. as its common utterance
is long drawn '.jay, jay, jay. This
cry. with the bright blue colors, has
given it its name.
While the jay sings no song 1t is able

CANNIBALS IN ANCIENT DAYS
Scientist Claims to Have Found Evil
dence Of Existence Of the Practice
in Prehistoric Times.

That prehistoric man had canni-
balistic propensities is shown by de-
posits in the rectangular house ruins
Of Nebraska, reported by DR.. Robert
F. Glider, archaeologist for the Ne
braska State museum. In Records
of the Past Doctor Glider describes
the discovery of a veritable charnal
house in Sarpy county, showing
strong evidence of cannibalism. He
says:
II explored a small ruin, and on
its floor were charred human bones,
many Of which had been mashed,
and near a large, fiat boulder, south
west of the fireplace in the center Of
the ruin, were many bone fragments.
Beside the rock was an unshaped
hammer stone which bore evidence
Of much use. My conclusions were
that the bones had been broken for
their marrow. One cache in
particular was filed with human
bones, and the plant seemed to indi-
cate they had been deposited when
covered with flesh. Seventeen 'front.'
al bones indicated that number of
persons had been victims of canni-
balls. Most of the skulls were of
women. and children. Nearly all the
bones in caches and on the floor were
more or less burned and blackened
by fire, and reposing within a frac-
tured pot were several rib pieces
which had attained the color of bones
after boiling"

The Surgeon-G General of the Ma

brought about by entertaining
and overstraining. and has rec
commended that athletics be
regulated to avoid such condi-
tions, that the endurance contests
dependent upon brute strength

4 Tupelo Wins

Last Friday afternoon the
cadets Of the Military Institute
defeated the Baldwin High
School in a game of foot ball on
the fair grounds. the score being
13 to Z. The visitors were near
ly twenty pounds heavier to the
man and it seemed to many at
first that the Cadets had but
little chance, but resorting to
well gagged forward passes to
Kinds and Allen they were able
to more than counterbalance the
disadvantage of a lighter line.
The other features of the game
were the touch downs by Bodkin
and the line blowing by Thomp-
son and Livingston. The most
commendable tackling was done
by Mathis. playing guard for 7.
M. /. Agood interest was shown
in this game and it is to be hoped
that a much larger crowd will
see the game with Holly Springs
on Thanksgiving Day.

LAST SCOTCH PARLIAMENT.

Will Scotland have a parliament
of its own again? 1t was On the LIST
of May, 1907, that the legislative
union of England and Scotland took
place, ''amid the detection and de-
spair," wrote Sis Walter Scott,
which attended on the downfall of
an ancient state, and under a sullen
expression of discomfort that was far
from promising the course Of pros
perity which the treaty finally pro-
duced." However, Seafeld, the
chancellor, gayly remarked when the
parliament of Scotland adjourned
forever, "There's an end of an auld
sang"

RAILROAD FATALITIES.

The fatalities in railroad wrecks
continue to appall the public and
some steps must be taken to safe
guard that portion of the public
that travel.
It has become an everyday &C.
currence when fatalities are re-
ported in railroad wrecks. Con-
ditions grow worse and the roads
seem to be unable to furnish safe
transportation. to the public.
One of the causes that has led
up to this condition has been the
disposition on the part of the
management of the roads to neg
lect the tracks and rolling stock
and apply the proceeds of the
road to the payment of salaries,
dividends and interest on bonds.
The public have demanded cheap
err rates of the roads, and state
and federal laws have forced
the roads to meet the demand.
Just how far this is right can
never be ascertained until the
roads take the pnblic into their
confidence and publish a plain
statement of facts showing the
actual physical valuation of the
rolling stock, track and other
properties. When this is known
the public will be liberal enough
to pay such rates, both of pas
senger and freight, as to allow
the roads a fair earning on this
valuation. When dividends must
be paid on watered stock at the
expense of the service, the pub
lie will complain and demand
that better facilities and service
be furnished. If higher rates
are necessary to safeguard the
interest of the public, let us have
them, but there should be no
Watered stock in the estimate
made upon which dividends are
to be paid.

ARMY AND NAVY CON-
DOMINATION OF FOOTBALL

the various CnOO VI tIlC Coun-
try will close their education in
brute force and it is to be hoped
that the duties for which young
men are sent to college will be
taken up and prosecuted vigor-
ously.
The football season ends with
THANKSGIVING and that of itself
affords us something real to be
thankful for. To say that it is
a manly sport is overdrawing
the picture from what gentlemen
demand in the way of amuse-
ment. 1t is a fad taken up
and accepted by the schools
without regard to lives and health
of the contestants. To say that
it is necessary for a school to
have a football team to acquire
standing with other colleges is
saying very little for the educa-
ton dished out by the various
colleges of the country. One hu-
man life is worth more than all
the pleasure and honor that all
the schools can secure through
their football games. The theory
that it makes a manly. healthful
and spirited boy has been explo-
ded by facts gathered by those
in a position to get at the real
facts in the case.
The Army and Navy Journal
New York; has this to Sey from
officers from both the army and
navy:
Colonel Townsley says that
the frequency of injuries to foot
ball players, and the permanent
character of many such injuries,
make it a question of whether
football is of sufficient value to
the corps to warrant its contin-
uance and the tremendous expen-
diture of time and money invol-
we'd. Of the sixty-one injuries
due football and treated at the
hospital at West Point from Sep
TENDER l to November 30 last
year, eleven were of a character
liable to cause future trouble
that is, Is per cent of the inju-
ries were of a serious nature.
Colonel Townsley says: Football
certainly serves no useful pur-
pose in the physical development
of training in the corps, as it is
voluntary and attracts to it's
squad only the few who are al
ready physically strong, active,
and we'll developed. It's value, if
it has any, lies mainly in the in
terest, entertainment, and ex-
citement it affords to the other
members of the corps and the
thousands who attend its princi-
pal contests and are willing to
contribute to its support
Surgeon General Stokes, from
the very beginning of his term
as head of the Bureau of Med
icine and Surgery of the Navy,
has Numbered against the injur-
GUS effects of football and other
too strenuous sports, and in his
very first annual report took
strongground against the encour-
agement of games which he be-
lieved tend to weaken the heart
of the participant and thus make
him an easy victim in later years
to the inroads Of disease. DR..
Stokes has had studied the ca
reers of a number Of officers who
were athletes in their Acadamy
days, and has sought to prove
from the data thus collected that
the service suffers a positive loss
in weakened physique at a time
in life when the best should bel
expected of officers in the coor-
dination Of mind and body. In
