Amazed When Typical Country
RUDE Borrows Toothbrush.

Col. Edward B. Smith, for 20
years a Washington newspaper man,
now serving the postmaster general
in a secretarial capacity, has had his
full share of amusing adventures.
This story is told by Mr.. Smith of
an incident which happened to him
while en- route from Washington to
Baltimore At one of the little way
side stations a typical country ''rube"
boarded the train and Immediately
went to the wash room at the end Of
the car, where Colonel Smith was
'dolling up" preparatory to his ar
rival in Baltimore His toothbrush
was lying conveniently on the wash
basin, and the Marylander. after re-
moving a goodly portion of Kentucky
leaf from his mouth, unhesitatingly
proceeded to make use of it.
Here What are yeu doing with
my toothbrush" exclaimed Smith.
'Scuse me, ledge, didn't know
that was yours. Where's the 'regu-
lar one?" inquired the innocent cOun-
tryman
Whereupon Smith enlightened the
old farmer to the effect that the rail
road has not yet, in it's magnanimity,
seen fit, for sanitary reasons or other
wise, to provide such luxuries for It's
patrons.

of the game in this country.
One of TIE most important changes
provides for the removal of the head
coach from the side lines. and here
after no one will be allowed to walk up
and down the side lines. Another
change provides that when a free kick
hits the goal posts and bounds back
into the field Of play it automatically
becomes a touchback. another official,
the field judge, has been restored to the
ctaff of officials, although this is op-
tional with the teams.

The kickout has been eliminated, and
after a touchback or safety the bail
