 THE WRIGHTS, 24-18

Yesterday afternoon the Glenn Udes met Wright's on the gridiron, corner of Oak and Fourth streets, and de- feated their opponents by a score of 24 to IS. Both teams were in fine fet- tie and the game was fought freely from the start to the very end.
 It was anybody's game. during the first half, as neither team had obtain ed any decisive advantage, the score being even when the whistle sounded. In the last half, however, the superior wind of the Glenn Udes and the spunk of the boys, due to rattling line of talk, put up by their captain, began utes after play had begun they began pushing the Wrights to their end of the field. Play from that time on was close to the Wrights' goal. Two touch downs were scored and when the final whistle sounded Glenn Udes were the victors, Wrights' however fighting gamely to the finish.

Modern Ideas Of Greatness.

When we ask what 1t Is that we mOderns deem to constitute greatness among the men of our own or com paratively recent time, we feel that the standard has somewhat changed. We set less store by monarchs, for they do not i'll the stage of the world as they once did, although some of them have stin large opportunities for doing good or harm. Neither do we give quite such special honor to military glory as former ages did. Nevertheless, the es- sential qualities that dazzle the eyes of man may be still the same. speak chiefly of the greatness that consists in action, for the ruler, the statesman and the warrior do their work in the sight of the world and can be judged by 1t, whereas the poet or the philoso- pher may have long to wait for recog- milton, and even supreme scientific discovery may not be appreciated un. til long years have been spent in work. ing out its applicati0ns.-James Bryce, in Youths Companion.
 Blind Develop Other Senses.
 The man who is born blind develops his other senses to degree that seems almost uncanny to sighted people, says writer in London Tit-Bits. His hearing forms one of the principal channels through which be obtains knowledge of what is taking place around him. The slightest variation in sound conveys a wealth of informe- ton to him. because he learns to as- sociate these sounds with their origin and the manner in which they are pro- duced. For shape and texture he de- pends upon his touch, and the touch of a man who has never had sight is wonderfully sensitive and delicate. To find his way about he depends upon his sense of direction and obstacle, which have become highly developed owing to tho fact that he has always been entirely dependent upon them. For that part of his education which can be derived from books he depends on Braille.

He WAS from Kansas City, and yet, when asked him what he thought of our little burg he replied that 1t impressed hlm favcrably. Then he stopped and l waited but he didn't say another word on the subject.
