The Holes In the Moccasins.

In the social life of the North Amer ican Indians many little dramatic acts occur significant of beliefs that are difficult for stranger to understand correctly. A relative comes to the home of an infant and presents it with a tiny pair of moccasins with a hole cut in each sole. The Indian mother understands the tender wish conveyed by the act. The baby is thus recog- nized as an Omaha child, for the moc- casins anticipate the ceremony in which the new life" is proclaimed a member of the tribe. The holes are a sign of usage; they express the giver's prayer for a long life to the child. A person might enter the tent. see the tiny moccasins with the holes and ex- claim, "What long way the little one has traveledr" This, too, would be prayer for long life to the child. If an unseen messenger from the spirit world should approach the infant to bid it come with him the child would be able to say, "No; I can't go with you; look, my moccasins are worn outv' And so the baby would not be taken away from it's mother.

Canada's River of Mud.

What is perhaps the most wonderful river in the whole world and one which is certainly unique of it's kind was dis covered by party of prospectors ex- ploring what is known as the Smoky river region" in northern Alberta, Can ada.
 Briefly, 1t is a river of mud--that is to say, although its course Is well mark ed, with banks clearly defined, as in an ordinary river. it's bed contains not wa ter, but thick liquid mud of the con- sistency of molasses.
 The mud river flows, as does water river, but, of course, much more slow ly. In fact, its progress during the time the party were observing 1t more nearly resembled that of glacier. Un- like a glacier, however, there Is no ter minal moraine. A glacier at it's foot melts and flows away. leaving an ac- emulation of rocks, but any heavy masses that may be in this river of mud must settle to the bottom and re- main concealed by the mud itself. This mud river debouches on plain, spread ing out fanlike and forming O morass of unknown depth and eXtent.-Londen Mail. .

 place was not success and MT. Wentworth did not remain long. From his time until about 1875 the place changed hands frequently until the late George Wagner acquired it.
 MT. Wagner established a hotel bus mess in the frcnt part of the bu1pulng and in the rear a vaudeville or variety theatre, then known as Wagners sum mer garden. The novelty met with immediate favor and from the start the busineess was a success. Vaude- vile shows were called variety or continuous performance" in those days. Some of the best known stars of today appeared on the stage of the summer garden. Among them were the Irwin sisters, May and Susie, then appearing as song and dance team. Keller and Hermann, two famous magicians known to the theatre goers of a generation ago, also appeared there.
 whn the bigger theatres in town began to give vaudeville shows Mr. Wagner closed his summer garden but continued in the hotel business for some years afterward. He finally sold che business and went to New York. There business reverses unsettled his mind and he too came back to Bridge port to commit suicide
 Thereafter the place changed hands Frequently until MT. Wieler, obtained ia lease there and remodeled the build ing. He has since conducted the bus- sfness. MT. Wieler has not yet deter mined where he will locate if he is forced to move.

return. A big welcome will be given him if he does not interfere with the present plan of local leaders. One of the features of the demonstration is to be an oldtime torchlight procession up Pennsylvania avenue. Monday night is the time fixed and the clans will assemble in the white House grounds to felicitate the President on his reelection. It is estimated that more than 3O,000 people will march in the procession.
 The movement for the Wilson well come was started by the members of the Women's Wilson Union, which col lected $50,000 for the Democratic cause. Last Tuesday night, when aI- most everybody else had conceded Mr. Hughes election, the women of the Women's Wilson Union refused to concede anything, saying that the in- formation that they had from the West was reliable and that when all the votes were in MT. Wilson would be elected.
 Mrs. George Boggs, President of the Union. and several thousand other Washington Democratic women will march in the Wilson parade. The formalities of the demonstration will be in the hands of Charles w. Darr, president of the Wilson and Marshall League of the District of Columbia; i; Col Robert N. Harper, chief marshal of the parade and other leading Dem- ocrats. The procession will start at Peace Monument at 8 o'clock Monday night.
 At the White House yesterday the Presidents mail was heavy with let ters of congratulation. Hundreds of ,telegrams from all parts of the coun- try were received felicitating the President over his reelection. Today the executive staff of the President will return to the White House from Shadow Lawn and open and answer the thousands of communications pouring in. The President is expect ed Sunday or Monday.

Gait of the Ground Cuckoo.

There are other birds in North Amer ica, such as the grouse or partridge, which can race swiftly along for a short distance, but when pursued by dogs or men on horseback the ground cuckoo gets his second wind after a time and can ru for miles and miles at an incredible speed.
 He can execute two gaits. Although his toes are disposed in opposite pairs, as in other species of his ia nily, yet the outer toe, being reversible and of great fexibility, is in either position to aptly aid in climbing or perching. This at times he pitches along the ground in irregular but vigorous hops. And again. when the outer toe is thrown forward, he runs smoothly and with great ve- locity.
 A poor fiier, he catches prey of the air by astounding jumps, at times at taining height of from eight to ten feet.-Philadelphi North American.

CUTTING CORNER
 CURES IS SCORED
 BY 5. \. WHEELER
Property Owner Says "City Is In the Hands of the
 Philistines'

The encroachment of the city upon valuable Main street properties has become so serious to owners that it threatens cessation of that improve ment that has stimulated business growth during the last year.
 The administration policy of cut ting curbstones for the benefit of traf- fic is criticised severely today by Sam. ue1 H. Wheeler, one of the largest property owners in the city.
 When asked if the recently trans ferred loan of $600,0OO by local bank was to be utilized for the development of Wheeler property at Main, Congress and Arch streets, the owner declared:
 T am going to wait and see what the city will leave me. They are steal ing from me all the time.''
 Declaring that there must be a proper balance between the ideas of the traffic squad of the police depart ment and the owners of property on Main street which will not result in congesting of crowds on the corner sidewalks to the relief of vehicular traffic congestion, MT. Wheeler con- cluded his statement by saying: Bridgeport today is in the hands of the PhiEstines."
 MT. Wheeler cited ean example of the administration hig-handed meth- ods of taking property for street widening purposes in a project to cut off the sidewalk at the northwest corner of Golden Hill and Main street. To do so it would be necessary to re- move a large pole now at the curb about two feet inwards, thereby mak- ing it easier for vehicles turning from or to Golden Hill street but materially decreasing the width upon which pe- destrians might pass or stand in front of the large display windows at that point. It is MT. Whee1er's contention that property owners are thereby damaged and trade decreased for the benegt of transient traffic.
 "I believe in Bridgeport property and every person in Bridgeport must believe in it's va1ue,'' he stated in re- ply to an injury regarding his large and recent purchases of property for development in Congress street, the West and East ends, amounting tc $11O,000 or more in the last two months.
 He will soon build a large storage warehouse on property between Bel mont avenue and State street exten- sion in Fairfield avenue, a one story business structure on the site of the old "five-elms'' at the old Bridgeport driving park property and will also develop property in the East end, the location of which he did not divulge today

FREAK BETS PAID
 BY UNL LUCKY ONES
 AS NY. CHUCKLES

l. New York, Nov. 11-It was retribu- ton night along Broadway and in the hotels. The news that Wilson had carried California, thus deciding the election, came too late on Thursday night for the payment of freak bets which have been hanging in the bal ance since Tuesday, but jeering friends last night excited full penalty from unfortunate losers.
 Although many of the Hughes bet tors refused to concede the election their plea to wait until the official returns were in was disregarded by those holding the other side of the wager, for they cared not Q rap for technicalities.
 Broadway was first startled and then diverted at the theatre hour to see a man clad in overalls lolliNg com- fortably in a cushioned wheelbarrow while perspiring friend trundled him along the thoroughfare. The barrow rider bore aloft a sign 'tHe lost! From, Harlem to Bowling Green.'
 In Baby's Go-Cart.
 The crowd on the White Way had hardly recovered it's gravity before a new sight caused another explosion of nirth and jeers. This time it was an un1ucky Hughes man of considerable latitude and low longitude who, stuff ed into tiny go-cart, was vainly en- deavoring to appear composed as the wabbIy vehicle bumped and creaked along the uneven asphalt. Near the entrance to the Hotel Astor the two the strain and the Hughes man hit the |, d him.
 Protesting indignantly he was pick ed up by his friends his silk hat was recovered from under a passing motor car and jammed on his head, and the journey was begun again with the go-cart tipped upon the hind wheels Lest some one overlook the loser in his chariot several automo- piles with signs calling attention to him followed.
 Rolls Chestnut at Vanderbilt.
 Diners in the Della Robbia room at the Vanderbilt Hotel were startled to see the conductor of the orchestra. Joseph Sejer, lay aside, his baton, take a chestnut from one of the. mu- sicians and gravely proceed to roll it across the huge room on his hands and knees.
 At the Hotel McAlpin the waxed goatee of the house detective, A. G. Denniston, shone with lustre even greater than usual and his smile was broader than ever. The goatee nar- row1y escaped obliteration on Wednes- day morning, for Denniston had vow ed he would shave it to the roots if Wilson were not elected. The news that the West was supporting Wilson halted Denniston's razor just in time Charles Mascord, manager of the Hotel St. Regis, an enthusiastic Hughes man, said he'd eat a felt hat ii Hughes was not elected. Some of the patrons of the hotel bribed the chef to serve an imitation hat made of six pounds of candy and yet hold Mascord to strict accountability for his state, ment Only the popularity of the manager deterred his friends from making him bolt a truly fuzzy $2 hat

TIGERS AND CRIMSON IN
 BIG BATTLE

CambridgeI Stadium, Nov. 1.-The football teams of Harvard and Prince ton met in their annual game here this afternoon before the largest crowd of the season. Close to 10000 spectators were present when the two elevens took the field under excellent playing conditions. The turf was dry and firm and offered perfect footing for fast runs.
 The luck of the toss fell to Prince ton and Captain Hogg chose to receive the ball. Horwen kicked off, Moore fumbling the ball twice but eventually -regaining it after a ? yard rush back. Driggs booted to midfeld where Mur- ray made a fair catch. Murray slip ped past Mourse for five yards. A moment later he tossed a forward pass over. Highley's head to Casey for another five yards. Then Casey fumbled and was downed without gain or loss.
 After the shifty Casey had been turned back by Mclean for 8 one yard loss Murray sent the ball through the air, again over Highley's head, to Coolidge, who planted it on Prince toms 35 yard line.
 Murray chose to try another forward pass which failed and Princeton gained the ball on their 35 yard line Taking a kick, nriggs circled Hartes end for a gain of three yards. The next time he kicked to Murray, who fumbled on Harvard's 2S yard line. Princeton got the ball anc put it into play on her 2S yard 1ine
 Rushes by Eddy, Thomas, Moore and Driggs netted a ten yard gain and first down at the IS yard line.
 Here Princeton was set back IS yards for holding. Harvard's offside activities brought Princeton five yards forward. It was first down on Har- wards 2S yard line again. Thomas stabbed Dadmun's position and was stopped by Thatcher, of the Crimson secondary defense after gaining five yards.
 Moore added two through Wheeler, Thomas failed to gain and Princeton lacked half a yard of first down. Thomas attempt to gain succeeded only by inches, measurement showed however, that Thomas failed to gain the distance.
 Harvard's ball. Horween punted IO DI1SSSs WIIO WdS OOWlou WneT6 Il0 caught the ball on Harvard's 45 yard line. Driggs, on the next play, re- sorted to the air for advance but Horween intercepted the pass. Hor- ween kicked to Princeton's 25 yard line. There Eddy fumbled, Moore recovering. Driggs kicked to Mur- ray. He signalled fair catch at the 20 yard mark. Murray punched Hogg's position for two yards
 Then Casey circled Princeton's end for five yards. Horween kicked over Princeton's line for a touchdown. The Tigers put the ball in play at 20 yards. Driggs punted long to Murray, who, the ball on the 40 yard line, was able to advance but two yards.
 Horween shouldered Captain Hogg aside for five yard gain. Casey stab bed the Tiger line for two yards more. Horween attacked Hogg again and it was Harvard's first down on Prince tons 46 yard line.
 The arms of Princeton forwards stopped Casey with no gain. Mur- rays rushing attempt was smothered by Captain Hogg and McGraw. The Harvard quarterback then tried for ward pass which also Princeton play CTS frustrated.
 Score end of first period Prince ton 0; Harvard 0.
