coach more for the love of sport than
because of the financial returns, al
though both receive large salaries

iron strategy is expected to be one
of the classics of the autumn sport.
Although differing widely in per-
sonality and methods Haughton and
Yost year in and year out achieve
wonders with the material that re-
ports for football at the two great
universities which they represent.
Haughton is a coach who talks little,
thinks deeply and is tireless in ac-
ton. Once the early season prelim-
inafies are completed Haughton rules
the squad with an iron hand. He
plays no favorites and his instruc-
tons are sharp and to the point. He
demands explicit obedience and ex-
poets immediate improvement in play
once a fault, either individual or Of
the team as a whole, has been point
ed out and the proper method of

Harvard's head coach is keen
student of football and knows the
game both ancient and modern in
every phase. He is an autoerat on
the field, inclined to be sharp and
caustic in his Instructions and re-
marks, and a coach who believes in
hard practice and plenty of il for
both the varsity and second string
players He is quick to detect abil-
ity in candidate and is always look
ing far ahead, planning his system
and plays to fit the type of team ma
terial at his disposal. Haughton is
inclined to be conservative in his
methods of attack, although he can
and occasionally does devise startling
and unusual plays which completely
upset the opposing team because of
their striking novelty and the clever
ness with which they are developed
from ordinary formations.

WHEN NEWLANDS FIRST CAME
TO THE STATE OF NEVADA

There are quite a number of people
yet living in Nevada who remember
when Newlands first came here to
run for office. They remember, too,
the English bob-tail horses he brought
to Reno and the little English cart he
rode in with the nags hitched up tan
dem; and the driver in his livery and
the footman. A blunt old Nevadan
said to Newlands one day: what in
hell are you driving around in that
rig for Newlands? You won't get a
vote in Washoe county if you travel
about in that rig" That style of a
rig was the proper thing in England
and Chevy Chase in those days, but
after conference with some of his
friends Newlands discarded the bob
tail horses and English trap.

A Good Shot

A San Franciscan. who had been hunting in the vicinity of Lake Tahoe without bagging any game, came upon a mountaineer who was feeding a caged wildcat he had caught the day before.
 How much will you take for that beast?" he asked
 The captor said $5, and the money was paid over
 Now" said the Nin-rod, tie one end of strong cord to that tree and another to the cats neck, and then open the door of the cage"
 This was finally accomplished and the fierce animal stood straining at its tether.
 The sportsman, who was watching the exercises from the interior of the cabin, leveled his rife across the win dow sill, took careful aim and blazed away. The wildcat gave joyful yell and disappeared in the forest. The bullet had cut the rope.

It itched and burned so that sleep and rest were impossible and I could not sleep any hardly for weeks. Nv clothes trritated my back till 1t got so sore had to have a soft cloth pinned to my shirt.
 As I heard of Cuticura Soap and Ointment for years I bought a cake of Cuticura Soap and box of Cuticura Ointment and to my surprise and ioy my itching and burning had disap- peared. My back had been so raw and inflamed could not lie on it and the first application brought relief.

EARTH'S MOST LONELY SPOTS
Islands Where Communication With tho Great World is at Rare h.
 tervals-Tristan da Cunha.

Though scientific progress has made 1t possible to do a double journey be- tween England and America in fort night. there remain many islands with which 1t takes years to communicate.
 Of the Scottish coast are the groups of islands known as the He brides, Orkneys and Shetlands. Of these the most isolated island is St. Kilda. some three miles long and two miles broad. The inhabitants lead lives of great loneliness, for 1t takes month to get to the next island. and the sea often makes any com munication with St. Kilda impossible for months.
 The group of eight Phoenix islands in the Pacific has total population of only 158, while another little bit of the British empire is Tanning island, This is landing place for the Pacific submarine cable, and usually there are about one hundred people in the place.
 The loneliest of all parts of British territory Is the Island of Tristan Da Cunha in the South Atlantic, which Is also the smallest inhabited island In the empire. It is 1,S00 miles from land. has population of "A Scottish Americans, and the inhabitants get news of the outer world usually once every two years

The first thing he said was: Why don't you use a tire that lasts? They tell me there's nothing like Poppleton's Gumelastic. And, say, l see you are using Pin ker cyclometer Friend of mine says he wouldn't take 1t for gift. He has a Hickenlooper.'

WITH TRAGEDY IN HIS MIND
Husband Dashed Home In Response to Telephone Call to Find hls
 Worst Fears Were Groundless.

Smithson said thunderstorm al ways reminded him of this absurd in- cident in his early married life. He said 1t happened when their first baby was only two months old, 80 he might be pardoned If his solicitude exceeded his sober judgment. He was at his office one afternoon when a terrific thunderstorm broke which crashed enough to frighten anyone, so when the phone rang and his wifes voice tremendously asked: George, dear, can you come home right away" he said. "yes," quickly, nor paused to question, but frantic with misgivings, grabbed his hat and almost ran through town to his home.
 Arriving all breathless, he found his wife awaiting him on the porch, her face the very picture of distress.
 Rushing up to her he said anxious ly: Why, darling, what's the mat ter?"
 Much to his surprise came this re- ply: "Oh, George. dear, we have oths!"-Kansas City Star.
