New UIm At 81. Peter.

st. Peter proved q formidable snaR
for the somewhat over-con6dent New
Ulm High School team last Friday
night and after spirited fight carried
IF the long end of q 25 to u score.
The game was played on the Gustsvus
Adolphus floor and was staged as q
curtain raiser for the Gustavus-Pills.
bury game in which the heavy, we'll.
trained collegians romped away from
he cadets by q score OF 81 to Ii.
From the standpoint of fast, scrappy
basket ball the first attraction proved
ar more interesting than the latter.
The st. Peter boys started in with the
whistle to show what basket ball
uexnt to them as pastine.
New Ulm, in turn, also had some
'ery pronounced views on the gentle
,rt of basket-tossing and refused to
'e licked without . stiff psrley. The
Inevitable result was q whirlwind
.sme of slsmbsng basket ball that
kept the crowd on edge to the very
snd. The first half ended with St.
'eter two goals of the good. The
-cond session found New Ulm fight
ing harder than ever and up 10 the
.st five minutes to play Solomon
himself would have had to toss . coin
to pick the winner. Then =, spurt of
clever teamwork and perhaps : slight
cement of luck gave the Saints three
baskets in rapid succession and
decided the most gruelling game our
ooys have played this seasor. The
game was rough but clean aud fast
enough to suit anyone. St. Peter has
fast, aga ressive team and their
terrific bio. XII Ig shows the effects of
.neir frequent practices with the
c ,llege team. New UIm was discon-
certed for time by the savage attack
md we're working under a most per-
.,stent "jinx" all evening in locating
he basket.
Schleuder, playing his first regular
game at forward, gave very satis-
factory account of himself. Seifert
nd Cordes played in hard luck and
we're not up to their usual form.
duevelmann played q hard guarding
game against Mead, the fast St..
Peter forward. Gieseke played q
strong game at the other guard posi-
Ion. The whole team gave every
thing they had and Coach Lewis
declares himself we'll satisfied with
their work. johnson and Mead did
the most effective work for the win.
oers. johnson was especially effec.
tive, scoring i've field goals and four
free throws out of four trials.
The teams meet again 10 two weeks
and New Ulm Is determined to reverse
he score. The boys can and must
win this return game. They've got to |
lick St. Peter. Let's turn Out and
,elp them do it.

PRESENT SYSTEM BETTER.
Seth Low Condemns Project Of Gov.
eminent Ownership Of Railroads.

New York, Dec. 1.-THE project Of
government ownership of railroads in
the United StSates was condemned by
President Seth Low of the National
Civic Federation in his address, today.
opening the 18TH annual meeting OF
that organization. Mr.. Low was chair.
man of the Federal Board of Arbitra-
ton which recently decided the con-
troversy over wages between the East
ern railroads and their conductors ans
trainmen.
1.-The considerations satisfy me-
said, that the railroad employees are
not only better off now, under the pri-
vate administration of railroads, than
they would be likely to be under pub
lie administration, but also that under
existing conditions, they can hope for
a betterment in pay and rules of SER
vice which 1t would be vastly harder
to realize from federal government
constituted like ours"
Mr.. Low said that the actual situa
ton of the railroads at the momen
seemed him so serious that 'if this
application for an increase of freight
rates Is declined, / fear that the i'm
pulse that will be given to the demand
for public ownership and operation
will be inevitably strengthened"

Just as the brain and nervous syp-
TENS are highly developed by activ-
ity, so is the muscular and bony sys-
tenn. The whole makeup of the man
who docs things" suggests activity.
Muscularity is his predominant physi-
cal capital. His face Is square rather
than triangular. Upon the body there
is little surplus flesh. 1t is broadcast
at the squareiy set shoulders, from
which 1t tapers to the feet. When
ever the position demands activity
and the ability to ride over obstacles
directly to the goal, the motive type
is your man. With other necessary
qualifications, he makes an excellent
travelling salesman. His qualities are
likely to find expression in agricul-
ture, manufacturing, transportation
and construction. Professionally, when
other characteristics SO incline him,
he makes an excellent engineer. sur
geon, and inventor. Men who drive
racing automobiles or skim the skies
in aeroplanes, baseball players and all
other athletes, prizefighters and horse
men, all belong to this active type.
Army and navy officers, sea captains,
and explorers also come under this
head.
Physicians maintain that a mans
vitality and recuperative powers de-
pend upon the soundness and relia-
bility Of his digestion. A man in
whom the processes of digestion and
assimilation are vigorous and in a
sense predominant, tends to roundness
of face and figure. His largest meas
urement is around his grit. His con-
spicuous physical characteristics are
the protuberant abdomen, the stout
legs. the round, abundantly filled-out
face, perhaps even the suggestion OF
double chin Mobility is not his
leading characteristic. He moves
slowly, is not given to exercise, pre-
fers to sit in a well-upholstered chair
before his desk and issue instructions.
If he does go in for out-of-door sports,
his enthusiasms are not for hunting
or Notwithstanding; his athletic
ideal is golf. He frequently has the
corresponding social attractions; he Is
good-natured, enjoys the society OF
his kind, loves to tell and hear a fun
ny story, and oftentimes is endowed
with a laugh that is fairly Olympian.
From all this it does not follow that
the stout man is necessarily ineffec-
tive. AS a matter OF fact, efficiency
of particular kind frequently goes
with the character. Great judges are
more often than not representatives
of this type. Bank presidents, the
heads of large corporations, can be
commonly classified in this division.
In less exalted business positions, We
find these men among butchers, groc-
ery-store capitalists, or thrifty Ger
man delicatessen proprietors. In an
office, the best executives are often
of this type. Such men are slow-go-
ing but sure-American Review Of
Reviews.

Cleveland, Ohio, Dec. 11-Cleveland

members are. today, being enlisted in
war against prevailing modes in
feminine wearing apparel.
The movement follows an attack on
prevailing styles made, last night, at
convention of the County Women's
Christian Temperance Union, when
resolutions were adopted which recit-
ed that: Whereas. many women are
given to immodesty as expressed in
wearing apparel; and
Whereas, this body believes such a
practice tends towards the demoraliza-
ton of society, the destruction of
homes and the extension of the white
slave traffic, therefore. be it
Resolved, that we condemn all
transparent wearing apparel or any
other kind which unduly exposes the
form or figure of women, and take
stand for simplicity and modestry,
which are expressions of character in
Dress"
There seems to be no individuality
among women now" said Mrs. Emily
Warner, one of the leaders. "They
wear what men tell them to wear. be-
cause the designers are nearly all
men"

Humor Lightens Life.

The saving grace of humor serves to
modify and materially tighten the
burden-bearing incident to all prog
ress through this mortal sphere. II
one can see the side of life which is
illuminated by laugh the darkest
cloud will have some sort of silver
lining, and gloom will be dispelied to
a degree at least 1t is indeed essen
tial to satisfactory living that one
should catch CLEANS of bright side
to even the most tragic occurrence
and that one can be plunged into no
depth of woe that has not contrast
which serves to afford relief from its
crushing weight.
The poet would have us believe
That Sorrows crown of sorrows
Is remembering happier things.
But on the contrary to recall tho
things of greater pleasantness Is the
best possible relief from the overmas-
tering woe that must some time be-
fall in every life. There is a resihen-
cy in human nature IL the ocular
side of situation, no matter how se-'
rious, appeals to one most forcibly
and the laugh can ward on the tears
which otherwise might come. Beneath
the outer integument of life lie nerves
that respond with great readiness to
the touch of circumstance. If those
which give answer the most readily
are the ones to which the ludicrous,
comic and absurd most strongly APP.
peal, the result is a modification OF
the situation before the deeper notes
~ he nf life iS
heard above the shrill tenor.
The man who can take joke
in the proper manner and enjoy
1t even when it is at his own
expense, may be sure of much
happier passage through life than
one who encourages himself In
the belief that the world lis against
him and that circumstances are con-
spring for his downfall. The keenest
appreciation of the irony or rate, the
humor of existence, the confederation
of events that links the year as an
endless succession of eventful happen
ings, can only be secured in the lght
of the humorous interludes which
serve to break up its monotony ana
to make tho endurance of the monot-
onous years more tolerable and the
inlook on the past and the outlook
ON the future more satisfactory by
reason of present possibilities.
A famous definition OF the quality
Of humor is this: For this humor IS
an adjunct divine; 1t is value OF
life; it makes for greater things than
clean laughter from the lungs 1t Is
the root of tolerance: the PROOF or pa
thence; 1t suffers long and is kind;
serves to tune each little life-harmony
about 1t; keeps the heart OF man
sweet, his soul modest. Andi at the
end, when the light thickens and the
mesh grows tight. humor can shape
the suffering vigils of the sieepiess.
can soften pain. can brighten the
ashy road to death. "-Brookiyn
