football game as played by highly civil ized and cultured people With his prlmi- tive, puny weaDCns he had to depend largely upon his physical strength and agility, and fight sort of man-tO-man fght-in other words he fought like savage.
 He knew nothing of the eternal verities, of physics and ethics of the riddle of the universe. His harsh, rude nature had never social contact and commercial relations, and his poor surroundings had never been adorned by the beauties of art, literature or music. He prayed to gods of wood and stone, lacking the guidance of the golden rule and the decalogue, and never experI- enced the spiritual inspiration of the prom, ise of the cross.
 He also lacked other clements Ind quail ties of civilization and culture. He knew little or nothing of the art of lying olrlo- macy, of schemes of territorial aggrandlze- ment, of commercial greed, or how to bide his brutal, savage nature under veneer of sham civilization and culture.
 But I do not despair All real c;vihza- tion and culture are not dead and their best opportunities will come at the end ot this war.
 When will it be over? you ask.
 I am no prophet, but the one hope have had for a speedy ending has not been real ized. I had expected that long before this the worlds greatest peace advocate would have been heard from and have taken some step to end it.

SAVAGE A BUSH LEAGUER

With whom do I sympathize in the war :? YOU ask me. We'll, am Wllsonian neu- tral, but can safely say this: Regardless it is admitted that the most highly civil it is admitted that hte most highly civil ized and cultured nations of Europe are engaged in it. If that is correct, my sym pathies are with civilization and culture.
 I used to think that only savages and emi-cvilized peoples went to war, but now I know that savages were only bush leaguers at the war game With his bow and arrow, his spear, his club or his boomerang, the power of the savage to take human ile was limited. Of course, after highly CIV ilized and cultured persons had taught him the use of firearms he was able to make better showing
 But even to this day he has never ex- perienced the joy and delight felt Dy highly civilized and cultured warriors Tn the drop- ping of dynamite upon sleeping city or ln sowing the sea and the land with explosives that destroy thousands of human lives ln the twinkling of an eye. T..
 His poor. weak mental faculties have never been developed to degree to enable him to understand or appreciate the grandeur and magnifcence of the highly civilized and cultured methods of levellng towns and cities with 30-ton guns or decl- m matinp huge multitudes of men with fam ing lines of rapid-frers. Having no wld- ows' homes and orphan asylums, he never resorted to the highly civilized and cultured methods of warfare to fill them

 T undhershtand," said MT. Dooley, as he dusted off the bar with his apron, "that the amachure minshtrel show that was to be given for swatc charity's sake has been called off
 "Yis," said Mr Hennessy, "and 'tis pity, for I hear the la-ads had set great hopes on making their public appearance. There will be nanny disappointed budding Lew Dockstader becase of it. To fwhat do ye atthribute the failure to preslnt the show
 "To lack of esprit du corps, as me frind Hogan would say said Mir. Dooley, land to the disappearance of the slide thrombone. Ye know, Hinnissy," continued the philosopher, mo minshtrel show lver was success without slide thrombone; and the mint I heard that the laad who owned the only instrument of the kind north of 54-40 or fight had crossed his pon- toon bridge and dhrawn his bridge after him, knew the minsthrel show was doomed to failure as Hogan says"
 But, man." said Hennessy there must have been some splendid singers among the company
 ''Surely there wus," replied Mir. Dooley. And likewise there wuz some sphlendld songs combining pathos, fun and tragedy.
 "Phwat has tragedy to do Wld mlnSthrel show?" asked Hennessy.
 Well, Hinnissy, perhaps wuz mishtaken about the tragedy part, said MT. Dooley, But there wuz wan song that had me guessin. Twas about a young la ady named Lueller Lee 1 couldn't just make out whether they were trying to marry her or murdher her But annyhow, tragedy or mathrimony, twas a gra-and song. But l felt bad about Lua!ler There wuz another wan to which the voices of the company wuz peculiarly adapted Twas about three crows sitting on three Afther every line there wuz chorus. which wuz nawthln but Cav, cav, saw" The way those min sthrel la-ads brought harmony out of those simple wur-rds showed that they had prac- ticed long and faithfully, There was also a ngger song about d mOnds and such thruck, but this wan had to be omitted from the repertwar as Hogan would say on account of Hebrew member of the chorus becoming excited whenever they came to the line with the almonds Tn It, The Hebrew seemed little out of place annvhow, in a nigger minsthrel show.
 But 'tis pity, just the same, said Hen messy, that the show was not pulled oil I understand the proceeds were to go tor charity"
 '"Tis so" said Mr Dooley, land that wuz another cause of the failure. 'Twould seem that for that rayson alone the program should have been carried out, for charity covers multhtitude of sins"

QUAIL FEATHERS AS X-RAY

STOCKTON, Cal, Jan. 11.-Dr. Barton J. Powell of this city, while hunting in Calaveras county, made strange discovery He was picking feathers from quail when an Indian guide reached over and pulled one of the feathers from the birds breast.
 "The white people" remarked the Indian, 'have been teaching us modern ways for years, and you, doctor, will be surprised when tell you that I can see the bone in my finger with the aid of this little feather"
 The Indian then placed the feather before the doctors eyes and held his hand up to the light The flesh was transformed to gelatin and the bones were plainly visible, just as is the case with a powerful X-ray.
 The Indian informed the physician that feathers had been used for years in finding breaks and setting bones in the broken limbs of the red men. The penetrating power Of buzzard's feather is said by the Indians to be much stronger than that of any other variety.
 One of the quail feathers has been sent to the University of California.
