Footba all.

If you are getting on in years-say.
to the time when the young fellows
begin to caution you that 1t is impru-
dent to run upstairs-it is 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 tackling, and
some nervy line bueking, all for the
honor of the team and the college
well, you begin to warm up. Before
the last quqarter is over you have
picked your team, if you hadn't one
to start with, and are pulling frantic
ally 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 compell-
ing enthusiasms and it's fervid ad-
monitions from the rooters to Hold
that-line," makes the blood flow fast
er through the veins of the most Sc
date person of middle age.-Kansas

The future action of the company in

HAM LEWIS NEARLY
GETS SENATE SEAT
BY SPEAKERS RUSE

SPRINGFIELD. ILL, Feb. 2S.-A
ruse by Speaker Mckinley to elect ].
Hamilton Lewis to the long term sena-
torship was sprung late yesterday. Nc
Kinley, after the first ballot had been
taken and most of the members had
left their seats, called for a second bal
lot, and declared it his intention to de-
side the senatorshlp on a majority of a
quorum.
The second roll call showed that
Colonel James Hamilton Lewis had re-
ceived &c votes, and the claim was ad-
vanced in the joint assembly that he
had been legally elected United States
senator.
Colonel Lewis title to the seat prob
ably will be decided by the United
States senate and according to his sup
porters he is reasonably sure of being
seated. Precedent is said to have been
found covering situations identical to
that witnessed in the assembly today.
