Allen and Bacon, both stars on the

MlshaWaka fans Will be interested in
seeing Culp, one of their former lights
on the same quintet with these stars.
There is d possibility that Edwards,
another Mishawakan. may also do duty
during the game, although the com
plete lineup of the visitors has not
been made known.
Mgr. Lackey of the Holy Names
is developing a fast aggregation of
players. and the men are working out
several times a week in st. Patrick
gymnasium. Merlin Guthrie. captain

who will not be back for place this
year and with these veterans and
host of new men, chances are bright
for win over Wabash
Places on the team have not been
awarded yet, as Scrimmages seem TO
show little differences in ability be-
tween any two squads or combinations
sent against each other
Capt. McQuaid, after a years alb
sence on account of sickness, is back
at center and is displaying consider
able skill in this position. The hottesl
fight seems to be for the forward
jobs. Six good men are battling for
the honors. and each seems to have
something on the others. Hagerty anu
Sullivan were the regular starters las,
year and both are making strong
fights. Guthrie and Auer, who did re-
lief duty last season and Cofield and
Nugent, new men this year, are show
ing as much form as the old men.
With these men available three sets
of forwards equally effective can be
put in game.
NOelkers and Vaughn seem slated
for guard jobs, but they are being Civ
en- stiff opposition by Felix, Vennet

MIRROR FOR DAINTY WOMAN
May Be Held In the Mouth, Leaving
Both Hands Free to Arrange
the Back Hair.

At last a woman may have both
hands free to arrange her back hair
as she looks in mirror. This Is made
possible now by the invention OF mir
ror which can be held in the mouth,
thus rejecting the back Of the head
from the main mirror of the dressing
table.
1t is the invention of Frenchman.
Who has given so much thought to the
elegancies of woman's toilet as the
French?
This new mirror is broad, so as to
give good general view sidewise, and,
being fixed on a curved bar, stands
well out from the face, so that there Is
no strain on the eyes.
At the bottom of the curved bar Is
the bite" not too large for dainty
mouths and covered with batting, Sc
as to be easily held without harming
the teeth.
Even the hygienic side Of the use OF
this mirror has been considered, for
number Of thick envelopes just fitting
over the bite" come with the mirror
so that you may lend it to your friend
and neither she nor you fear any con
tagion.

1t makes little difference what spe-
cial breed of sheep is favored, there
are always certain points to demand
when a ram is to be selected for the
flock. These points are not influenced
TO amount to anything by the special
characteristics of any one breed.
Buying a ram is a good test Of the
sheep growers judging ability. 1t is
always best to go to the owner of
some well-established flock when you
are ready to pick ram. Try to visit
such a breeding farm before the an
nual sales have been held and you
will then have a chance to obtain a
really good ram, writes Joseph Cooper
of Illinois in Farm Progress. If you
wait too long there is a chance that
you will either have to look further
or take a ram that is not quite all
that he should be.
1t pays to be on hand a month too
early rather than month too late. You
are not relying on pedigree alone. You
want a ram of good blood, but good
conformation is almost equally impor'

to just suit you it will be best to rely
upon your own judgment to some ex'

That gives you a good line on him.

can see and if the two parents meet

OVERSIGHT THAT WAS FATAL

A fellow stole a coat hanging in

a block away he had the police and
most of the neighbors on his trail.
The poor fellow who had taken the
coat was really coatless before the
crime. And as he ran he struggled
into the distracted article, which fit
ted him pretty well, all things consid-
cred. And when he was apprehended,
about four blocks from the starting
point, he protested his innocence
stoutly.
What dye mean I stole the coat?"
he said. I've had this coat all sum-
mer. Why, amt had it of my back

terrace in a secluded spot in the
shadow of the first terrace wall, where
he could see anyone coming up the

AS he turned away he looked up
