to get together and all go to one OF the

proved to be SO enjoyable. and at the

from them was conceived the idea OF

Players and coaches might as well

new method of play. but 1t is not long
before the defense has adjusted itself
and improved SO as to balance the

open or passing game is being rapidly
developed It has already, in many Of
the early games, shown itself far su-
perior to the old line plugging mass

Besides. this open play exhausts the

shape for their defense when the time
comes that the opponents have the ball.
For these reasons the open game Is ac-

weeks of the season But there will
surely come a time, If not this season
then by next year, when the defense
will have perfected itself and the open

may come before the later games of
the year 1914. It should not. however.

the greater facility of execution may
still match this up. When our passers
learn to conceal their intention. and
when plays are developed that threaten
a run without betrayal of the eventual
pass, then, indeed, will the defense find
itself put to the utmost of its skill
and exertion to prevent gains. It should
be borne in mind that our American

A RaiIroader's Prayer.

An old railroad worker was converted,
and being present at a meeting at which
there were many inquiries, he was asked
to lead in prayer. He hesitated for
moment, and then in a clear resounding
voice, said: 'Oh Lord, now that have
tagged Thee, lift up my feet from the
rough road of life and plant them safely
on the deck of the Train of Salvation.
Let US use the Safety Lamp known az
Prudence; make all the Couplings of
Train with the strong Link of Love. and

Mystery Solved.

The legend that Mrs O'Leary's kick

is challenged by the death bed declara-
tion of Miss Rebecca Thrift, who died in
the county infirmary here aged about
20 years.

the strange old woman, land fearing ar
rest, fled while the flames ragged.
Further details, whatever these details
may have been, were sealed by death
and were buried in the potter's field
along with the body of the woman whose
life story has for more than 10 years
been an impenetrable mystery.
Coincident with the burning of Chi
cago in II, this woman was found So

stack on the Booth farm, south of this
city. With her was a man. The vigi-
liant spirit, rampant in those days, as
serted itself in the form of mob. which
after parley, spared tar and feathers,
but warned the man to leave the couE-
try. He fed and was never seen or
heard of again.
The woman, sullen and dazed, made
no explanation at the time, except that
she was homeless and i'll. She gave the
name of Rebecca Thrift and was at that
time apparently about 30 years old.
The authorities not knowing what to
do with the odd charge thrust upou
them, committed her TO the county
farm.
Here, for IS years, she has remained
a county dependent and never once has
she consented TO give the name and adj
dress of any relative, or TO reveal other
family history, and no one has ever
claimed her. No one in authority ever
believed she had given her real name
and no one was ever able 10 learn her

Cost of Panama Canal in
Lives.

In a letter TO Hon. Geo. M. Young,
Representative in Congress, Col. Goe-

March, 1914, 1,2l9 lives were lost on the
Panama Canal through accidents. This
total covers only those deaths which re-
suited from accidents happening on the
work, except that it includes 1877 deaths
from accidental drowning, all of which
did not occur on the work. From Au-
gust, 1908, to March, 1914. the accidents
resulting in injuries reached total OF
25,l0l. Mr.. Young called the attention
of Congress to the fact that the loss OF
life through accidents, as here recorded,
was greater than that during the wal
