A Very { arge Mine.


 There was once in Cripple Creek an odd character named Burns. He was an odd person who always. no matter what his work, wore what used to be called q "Prince Albert" He struck a rich vein of ore and named that the Prince Albert Being of a generous and conyivial disposition, this lucky fellow was, of course, surrounded by many self seeking friends. When he and they were in their cups some of them, with an eye to the main chance, managed to wheedlc out of Burns on one preteXt or another a deed of share in his mine With royal prOdi- gality he scattered deeds about among his retainers and camp followers until finally something had to be done, and the case was taken into court. One of the lawyers had Burns on the stand, "Now, Mir. Burns" said the lawyer, will you please tell the court how you can explain your conduct? The evi, dence shows that you have dceded away twenty-ninc twenty-fourths Of your mine. What have you to say to that?" "Well, sir" replied the witness, you must remember, sir, that the Prince Albert is a very large mine."

JENNINGS STANDS IN OWN LIGHT.

Jennings is standing in his own light
as a professional ball player. He made
IN excellent impression in the American
Association last season. hitting over
800 and fielding fairly well. He might
have been taught to play second base
here. When Manager Griffith wrote to
him, Jennings asked that he be allowed
TO report In May. BY that tine he
would be done coaching his Ouachita
College athletes. His request was de-
nied.

Now I don't want him. 1 want only

Soccer Football.

Soccer football is played mostly
in Baltimore, Judging by the Bait
more papers. The game is mostly
kicking, but not the verbal kind
which characterizes baseball. The
game also differs from baseball by
the fact that it is no uncommon
sight to see a soccer football play
er using his head in making play.
Even a blizzard can't stop soccer
football player from soccering, and
photographs show conclusively that
a soccer player doesn't require
much more uniform than rabbit.
The game is making vast inroads
into our colleges, but will never
supplant the regular college foot
ball game in the hearts of the stu
dents. In soccer football a player
isn't allowed to use his hands, and
it would break a college students
heart to see all those knuckles go,
