TRY TO SWIM IN FOUNTAIN
Little Girl Envies Birds and Dips
In = Townspeople Give Much to
the Little Visitors Are
Served Three Meals.

eThe birds can fly, SO why not IT,
quoth Darius Green, when contemplate
ing the manufacture Of a flying ma
chine.
.sThe birds can swim, SO why not
him?,' quoth brown eyed Mary Eliza
beth, one of 284 picnickers at Kemper
Hall Tuesday afternoon, referring to
her little brother Of six. And she work
ed out the problem as disastrously as
did Darius, his.
She had watched the oven birds and
the robbins hopping up to the fountain
basin and dipping in. The water look
ed cool and inviting and Mary Eliza
beth being a product of Chicago's con
gested districts knew that whatever
ore wants and asks for one generally
doesn't get.
So she decided it best to act not ask.
Best and Only Accident.
She gave little brother gentle shove
and in he fell, and with splash Mary
Elizabeth hoped after. Two Sisters
of ST. Mary were standing almost with
in an arm s length of her and they
promptly picked out the youngsters who
ytre taken inside, stripped Of their
garments, rolled up in sheets while
their frocks could be ironed dry. They
returned to the business of picnicking
again promptly when they were re-
habited.
This was the most serious accident
that occurred to any of the 284 children
ar mothers who spent an ideally hap
Ply day as the guests Of the Sisters of
st. Mary, Tuesday.
The visitors, accompanied by Dean
Walter S. Pond and the Rev. Kendall
Severance and Sisters Jeanette and
Katherine Anna of SITS. Peters and
Paul s Cathedral, arrived in a special
coach from Chicago yesterday morning,
travelling as the guests of the Chicago
and North Western Railway Company.
They Eat, Eat, Eat.
They were driven through the arch
way under the hall and straight to the
lake where a luncheon of sandwiches,
milk and lemonade was awaiting them.
"Oh, give us some, can we have all
we wantgo one gaunt faced, hollow
eyed little one asked as she saw the
milk. II just love milk and I never
get it home because the little ones have
to have it! - She looked about eight
years old herself.
She was given all she wanted and
all the sandwiches she could eat into
the bargain, as were all Of the others
of the 1884,
And then they roamed about the
grounds and played and scampered and
had a glorious time until 1890 when
again they were invited to eat and this
time very generous meal with ice
cream and Strawberries was ready for
them. Another meal was served at
$3.50 and when they started for home
every visitor had bag in which were
sandwiches, bananas, cookies and other
goodies.

Townspeople Generous.

There is some fear expressed here
that friction may be caused between
the American authorities and the de-

FOOTBALL IS COSTLY SPORT
Average Spectator Has No Idea Of
Equipment Necessary for Big
Squad Of Varsity Men.

The average football spectator has
little idea Of the equipment necessary.
for big varsity football squad of 40
men. Manager Lovett of the Penn
eleven has figured out that II costs
approximately S52.55 per player before
the kickoff occurs In the first game Of
the season.
Football IL more expensive than a
private yacht or polo string, and II
would stagger the average man to
learn that 700 pairs of shoes and
stockings of the most expensive sort,
sweaters, jerseys, molesklns, to say
nothing of several hundred footballs,
are required in equipping big team.
Add to that the fact that several men
have been busy nll summer rolling the
gridiron, raking 1t for small stones,
rebedding II with fresh sod, and get
ting the field In general into first-class
condition for the opening.
The upkeep continues throughout
the entire football season, and If foot
ball players drew the salaries that the
diamond stars In the big leagues re-
ceive there would he no football.
