Anxious to Sec Auburn

old Auburn men are anxious to hear
the whistle for the Auburn Howard foot
ball game at Redwood park, October Z"
said Cecil Alexander, an Auburn alum
nus. TT is going to give us fellows a
fine chance to get a line on Donahue's
bunch for the year, and to find out how
they are going to stack up against Van
derbilt. From what can learn, How
ard is shy of good football material this
season, but those Baptsts can always
be counted upon for the best fight they
have in stock. 1 admire them for tack
ling Auburn, and even if l am an old
Auburn man, when one Of those young
sters goes down the line and spills one
OF the Tigers. I am going to feel like
giving him a good cheer.
Howard held Auburn to a mighty
close score once, IL to 0, but on several
occasions the Baptists have been pretty
badly smeared over the field 1 don't
suppose Howard counts upon more than
making good fight, and from what 1
know of DR.. Longwell, the Baptist coach,
his fellows will have to fight Auburn
through the full four quarters or fight
him after the game They tell me he
is going after the fellows in good fash
ion, and has already served notice that
every man must fight to the finish, it
doesn't matter what the score is"

Inc Rhodes Scholarships
The Rhodes scholarship examinations
for Alabama will be held at the Central
High school October g." said DR.. ]. H.
Phillips. "One student is selected from
each state in the union. The examina-
ton questions are sent to the president
OF each state committee, and in turn
they will be given to me to conduct the
examinations here. DR.. Denny, president
OF the University of Alabama, is pres
ident of the Alabama Rhodes scholarship
committee.
The Cecil Rhodes scholarships were
formerly given to every civilized coun-
try. 1 presume the war has caused this
policy to be discontinued. Each scholar
from the different states is given $500
yearly for his expenses in addition to
his steamship fare from New York to
England. The successful candidate
must qualify from a physical as we'll as
mental standpoint. The rules governing
the appointments are all laid down by
Oxford. The age limit for the appli-
cants is from 10 to % years"

A Pathetic Character of the Long

A short distance from our once hap

known as The Swamp. Its overflow
waters made a skating ground that was
not only safe but popular for it was ac-
cessible to the boys in the neighbor-
hood of which there were many when
We were young. The icy pathway was
lined by a thick growth of bushes and
stunted trees that was almost impen-
etrable, except for a narrow well beat
en- path that led far into the thicket,
where could be seen a small house
made of boughs that served as a shell
ter at times for we'll known charac-
ter who went by the name of Old
Silence. This odd but significant APP
pellation was occasioned by the fact
that the old man rarely spoke. When
questioned closely by those who we're
curious TO know his history he would
utter a piercing cry and hurriedly
walk away.
Few if any ever knew from whence
he came, but it was intimated by some
that he was not native Of our land
but was from foreign climes, and that
disappointment in love had caused
him to become insane. This touch of
romance gave an added air of interest
to the coming and going of silence
which lasted as long as he lived. Tar
away seem those winter and summer
days, when the strange old man went
his weary rounds. Yet we can plainly
recall the stout figure and low crowned
hat that he generally wore, the care
worn face Drowned by exposure ana
pinched by mental suffering, and as we
remember always wearing a sort of
| haunted look
Year after year this unfortunate
man travelled over the same cid
route. Being of a harmless disposition
he was never denied food or a place by

mates came to know his familiar face

he slumbered, only to resume upon the
dawning of another day his aimless
wandering. One cold winters night

Mr. Riis did a wonderful work in ele-

he have out of which to make an Ameri-

percent of those who do marry raise no

Like all other catastrophles no steps will
be taken to remedy the evil until the

There will some day be larger prizes

A motive more worthy than money
would be the raising of the standard of
citizenship by heredity as we'll as by en-

have proved elevating and see to it that

Forder to Entertain

Forder-The coming celebration in
Forder of the nations holiday will
equal any of its predecessors. The
Icommittees are putting the finishing
touches to their work, preparatory
to all having glorious time.
The principal speaker of the day
will be Senator w. o. Peterson of Pu-
eblo. The senator comes to Forder
as the representative Of the Pueblo

ization is SO deeply interested in the
development Of the Arkansas valley
and eastern Colorado. Mr.. Peterson
will talk on patriotism and loyalty to
our own state and locality. He is a

tion law which is now in force in this
state.
There will be a number of local
speakers also.

teresting program, which starts at 10

ing this contest. Baseball will form
a part of the entertainment. The
game will be between the Forder and
Karval teams. These teams are even

contest.
