Unless there Is "a decided change In the
present arrangements which are now
being carried on by the management OF
the West Virginia university and Yves
leyan football teams. the annual clash
next fall FOR the championship OF the
state VIII be staged on THANKSGIVING
day Instead Of earlier in the season. rs
has been the case during the past sew
cral years. Both managers have been
In communication with each other for
several weeks and this detail OF the big
game has almost been definitely decided
upon. During the year or 1911 the game
was played during the latter part Of Sep
tember. Wesleyan appearing here for the
frst contest OF the season. Last fall
the game was played In Fairmont before
accommodating crowd October Is. the
contest being the third on West Vir-
Einla's schedule.
The change in date was brought
about through the fact that 70 -
thought greater statewide interest will
be created, eliminating In the clash on
Thanksgiving day, which fs usually the
closing date OF the year for all college
teams. Interest would naturally be at
fever heat until this game vas played
and this would Of course add largely to
the financial success Of the encounter
The entire state would undoubtedly fol-
low the progress Of both teams up until
the deciding day. and OF course each
team would draw and increase its ao.

Assault on the Great lakes.
Up on our great lakes winter holds
those waters in a stiffened grip for
several months, substantially putting
An end to well nigh all traffic, but even
so, 1t is the mission Of certain OF tho
big car ferry steamers to maintain
something Of an approximate schedule.
However, every now and then the
gathering ice packs catch and hold
them despite the best the steamers can
do, and 1t Is only by using dynamits
that they then succeed In breaking
through these frigid barriers. Occa.

tween titanic forces, and Il takes cour-
age for officers and crew to maintain
the struggle. Success Is not always
the fruit of these strenuous efforts,

If many how gallant Captain Mcleod

IN December, 1909.
What strikes me most forcibly, II he
nas seen winter conditions upon the
great lakes, Is the manner In which
little tugs are used to break a passage
clear for large steamers when their big
kin are quite incapable Of working
their own way through the Ice, not
withstanding their greater bulk and
far more powerful engines. The secret
lies In the fact that the tugs are able
TO roll about after poking their noses
into the foe, and In this manner they
attack the Ice In a direction whore Il

resistance. Instead Of assaulting the
Ice edge on where 1t Is supported by
hundreds Of yards-lf not, indeed, by
several miles of solid pack-the small
craft bear down upon thickness Of 30
many inches, and by sheer weight and
the rapid shifting Of this by rocking
motion, they force 1t asunder.
The big steamers upon the great

Romance OF Discredited Gold and
Copper Mine.
When the great mineral wealth Of
this nation has been finally developed
a chronicler will write the American
Arabian Nights of Mining" One Of
the tales, all Of which will be true, will
run somewhat as follows:
Once upon time there was q poor
man Of the name Of Billy Harris, who
lived at Spokane, Wash. He was Il
horseman, among other miscellaneous
activities, and had acquired a consid-
erable block Of stock In certain LerOi
Mining company, having taken most OF
1t In payment from those who owed
him money and who had no other as
sets more tangible This stock had
kicked about without sponsor for
two years and was nominally quoted at
around 10 cents a share.
One day friend came along with
handsome stallion, and Billy looked up
on the animal with covetous eyes. Dick
ering began and ended by his paying
over So, 600 Of the stock for the stallion.
The seller, on sober reflection, became
dissatisfied with his bargain and
brought SUI to recover the horse. He
won, and Billy, with n sigh, took back
his stock and bade the animal a fond
farewell.
Eighteen months later Billy sold the
same stock for $25O,000 and the re-
mainder Of his holdings for as much
again. The Leroi mine was taken over
by Whitaker Wright and an English
syndicate and produced $40OO0,OOO In
gold and copper. 1t is not on record
what the original owner OK the stallion
said or thought-and perhaps 1t Is just
as well.-Wall Street Journal.

CLEVER WITH HIS FISTS.

Sshn Paul Jones In . Fight Wac ~
Quick ~ Chain Lightning.
The exploits Of John Paul Jones, the
famous commodore, have for many
years formed interesting reading for
young and old students Of history, and
q volume issued BY n. MacDermot
Crawford, under tho title The Sailor
Whom England Feared" adds much
that Is worthy Of note. The hero Of the
book Is thus described In its pages:
Though OF low stature and slender
build, his neck, arms and shoulders
were those of heavy set man. His
neck was out Of proportion to the rest
Of him. The strength Of his arms and
shoulders could scarcely b believed.
and he had equal use Of both hands,
even to writing with tho left az well a.
the right hand.
"He was past master In the art Of
boxing, and though there were many
hard nuts to crack In the various crews
he commanded. no one ever doubted
that the commodore was tho best man
aboard. To all this he added q quick
ness Of motion that cannot be describ-
ed except by saying that he was quick
er than chain lightning. When reused
he would strike more blows and do
more damage in a second than any 9th
er man could do In minute.
even when calm and unruffled his
gait and all his bodily motions were
exactly like those Of the panther
noiseless, sleek and the perfection OF
grace, yet always giving one the idea
that 1t would be well to keep out OF
reach Of his paws and teeth"
