How a Bow Started In Glen Elder.

They were leaning over the line
fence, these ladylike neighbors, and
they seemed to be having an argu-
ment as the Glen Elder Sentinel's
reporter passed.
How do you know it is SOP" asked
one.
81 said it was so, didn't II" the
other came back, coldly.
"Uh, huh, you did, and I suppose
it is your idea that whatever you say
goes?"
Yes, If I say it to you-it goes all
yer town." +
And then the neighbors called the
police.-Kansas City Star.

War and Football.

Yale's Bowl, the fell cirque" or
stadium in which the great football
battle with Harvard will be played
this fall, will be the objective of %
trainloads from New York alone on
the day Of the game. The whole
structure will seat $1,000 people, and
it is announced that every seat in
the Bowl is a good seat'-that is, it
has an un%obstructed view of the play
ing field. Despite Cleveland H. Dodge's
protest against holding these annual
mimic battles" during wartime, the
Yale Alumni Weekly says they should
go on If the contest in Europe has
any direct reaction on American col
lege football it would seem to lie In
the direction Of eliminating the brutal
factors of the game.

Muscovltes Are Fighters.

Scratch a Russian and you find a
tartar has proved a fatal truism to
almost every enemy of the Muscovite.
The Russian soldier is the scion OF
the Scythian. He is, therefore, a
fighter of deadly surprises and uncer-
tainties. His next move may not be
predicted on any known or limited
method of warefare. He is apt to de-
velop a fighting science Of his own
in a five minute emergency. Depend
upon the Russian battler to behave
we'll. His manner and method OF
proving his mettle are not practicable.

a few days ago a concurrent resolu-
ton, the aim of which is to forestall

attorney general is called upon to
ascertain If the meet is to be opened

to take active and vigorous measures
to restrain the turfmen. Sea'tor Cliff
