The log cabin Democrat. [volume] (Conway, Ark.) 1901-1982, 1914-01-01

Cook of Arkansas has very little
competition from his brother quarter
backs over the state. His punting
passing and prop-kicking raises him
easily above his fellows. In addition
he was a great broken field RUNNER
but in this department he was rivalled
by Legg of Hendrix, who was also a
great returner of punts. Jamison of
Ouachita and Goodgame of Henderson
were both field generals of type
hard to find in college football, but
not brilliant individual players.
The half-back positions go to Cap
tain May of Arkansas and Captain
Holmes of Hendrix, although Parch-
man of Arkansas, Wade of Henderson
and Abrahams of Ouachita may with
some justice dispute their claim to
the title. May has been frequently
mentioned as an all-Southwestern Sc
lection, and although somewhat off
form this year, no one will dispute
the big Swede's claim to being the
best half back in the state Holmes
of Hendrix is just as big, somewhat
faster and almost as good as the Ar
kansas Captain. Wade of Henderson
would be great relief man for such
q back.fleld, Parchman and Abra
hams are first year men who will
shine next year in college football as
they have in high school football in
the past.
The fullback position is open to
debate between Jackson of Ouachita,
Rudd of Arkansas and Moores of Hen
derson, the substitute back-field man
who leaped into the calcium toward
the close of the season. jackson gets
the call because he is heavier than
Moores and faster than Rudd. In adj
dition he is probably the most accu-
rate forward passer in the state
Both he and Cook are southpaws and
their left hand shots would worry the
defense.
This team would be a splendid COM
bination of weight, speed and expert
ence. The line from end to end
weighs 1S5 pounds and six of the
seven men are reterans. Both ends
are dash men and it would take an
unusual HEAVIER to get the ball out
of the reach of either man. The back
field would be equally versatile at
plunging the line and running the
ends. Cook weighs only 1876, but the
other three will average $50. Cook
and Harton would do the puntine
for this mythical team, Cook the drop
kicking and Jackson the passing.
One significant feature of the team
is that eight of the eleven men are
either former captains or leaders OF
next years teams.

In "The Tragedy of Isabella H." 1t Is
said that the unfortunate Spanish
queen, blessed with generous impulses.
was exceedingly charitable. Unfortu-
nately she had no notion Of the value
Of money and would want to give away
sums out of all proportion to the oc-
casion. Once the queen had command

her just idea Of its magnitude, decid-
ed to present the donation in the form
Of many banknotes of small value

fo.s.ys NEGRO MeiodleA

"For a period Of thirty years or 90"
says the Musical America, stephen
Collins Foster was SO far ahead of all
competitors as the most popular Amer
lean composer that the others were
scarcely in sight. While we know little
enough about great many of his mel
odies today, such songs as The Old
Folks at Home My Gid Kentucky
Home Old Uncle Ned and 'Massa's
In the Cold. Cold Ground have sunk
deeper and more permanently into the
American heart than any other songs
ever written in America. For better
understanding of Foster it Is well to
remember that his melodies had moth
ing whatsoever to do with negro melo-
dies, the composers models being the
great melodists Of the old world-Mo-
Fart, Beethoven, Handel. The fact that
his songs formed the piece de resist.

Eiephants' Teeth.

The elephant has no cutting teeth.
6ke most animals, but only series OF
uolays. These molars or grinders as
they wear away gradually move for
ward in the jaw. and the remnant OF
the tooth, when the surface is com
paetely destroyed. is cast out In front
The same molar can thus be replaced
as many as eight times. The tusks,
which are only enormously elongated
teeth, can be renewed only once. This
wearing process and the election of the
stump Of the tooth go on very slowly
during the life of the elephant. Only
one or two teeth at time are in use
or in view in each jaw. There are al
ways other teeth waiting to pass for
ward and begin their work. although
there is a limit to this succession. for,
when the last has come into use and
been worn down. the elephant can no
longer chew his food and must die OF
Starvation. If be has not already sue
cumbed to old age.

Hat Islands UNIQUE Rookery.

Hat island. in the Great Salt lake
Utah. is probably the most unique
rookery In the world. as well as one
of the most densely populated. The
island contains about twelve acres, and
on a rocky pinnacle hundred feet
above the brine, with not drop OF
fresh water to be found and where
there is nothing to excite the cupidity
or commercial instinct of man, the
birds gulls. peiicans, herons and cor
morants by the thousand-make their

distance of ten miles. rising like
cooked hat" out of the sapphire of
the inland sea. The birds are utterly
fearless. Protected as they are by the
laws Of the state. they have had little
,ause to fear man and his death deal

METHOD IN HIS TEACHING
Agassiz, as Preceptor. Had His Own
Way Of Doing Things, and He
Got Results.

A student enrolled IN Agassizs
no attention to him whatever. AT
length, tired of standing around idle,
the student asked Agassiz to give him
something TO do. Agassiz's reply was
to hand him a herring and TO say,
''study this" The student was be-
wildered, but set about Studying"
II, The next day Agassiz asked him
what he had learned about that her
ring. The student replied that It had
two eyes, so many fms, and such and
such markings.
mo, mol" Agassiz cried study IT
more. Those things are not import
ant"
The next day and the next the ex-
perience was repeated. The fourth
day Agassiz again demanded informa-
ton about the now rotting specimen.
In a desperate attempt at humor the
student replied, well, it's the same
on both sides"
That's it," shouted Agassiz. That's
It! A starfish isn't the same on both
sides. an oyster isn't, thousands Of
specimens OF the sea are not When
you find one that is, you've found a
starting point in new stage in the
evolution Of life"
Obviously, that student learned
more from that one lesson about the
scientific method of study than hs
would have learned in & years read.
would have taught him the facts;
Aggassiz taught him the method Of
learning all facts.-World's Work.

In connection with the name salt .
curious fact Is to be noted Salt was
formerly regarded as compound r.

acid and soda. and hence the generi'
term of salt was applied to all sub

Davy, however, showed that durin'
their action on each other both th
acid and the alkali underwent decom

alkali and the hydrogen Of the acid
the sodium of the former combines
with the chlorine Of the latter to form
chloride of sodium. and this term Is
the scientific designation of salt. which

Tennyson ana the Horse.

Tennyson once arrived at Haslemerc
station carrying parcel of books. and
as his own carriage had not arrived to
meet him he was glad to accept the
offer of a lift home. Going up the
steep hill to Breakdown. Tennyson
with. his characteristic consideration
for animals. suggested that they and
the books were too heavy for the pony
to drag. The two men therefore got
out and walked for some distance in
front of the trap. until they discovered
that the books had dropped out. The
owner of the pony asked Tennyson to
stand at the animals head While he
went back for the books. These be
found hundred yards or more down
the hill, and on his return he found the
pony had been FESTIVE. but had quickly
become quiet Knowing that it dislik
ed strangers. he wondered how Mr..
Tennyson had kept 1t quiet What
yas his surprise to learn that the poet
4ad managed the affair by holding a
watch close to the animals ear.
