1 utes the man gave up and got a gen.
eral laugh from the whole force.
From that time forth for over a
year the shells furnished a never
failing source Of amusement as a
test for applicants. A new man was
first given tryout on the shells. If
he lasted fifteen minutes, he was
hired-if he quit before that time,
he was laughed out Of the yard.
One bitter cold day thin, stoop-
shouldered man stepped up to the
foreman and asked for work. One
glance told the foreman that this
man was no ordinary foundry hand.
! Indeed, he looked as though he could
hardly swing light sledge, but the
foundry needed help badly. After
asking the man a few questions, the
foreman told him to consider him
self hired. But true to form, he took
the newcomer back to the pile of
shells, gave him a sledge, and told him
to break them up and report to him.
An hour later the man reported
that he was ready for more work.
"Did you break up the Shells"
asked the foreman.
"No, sir, but they will take care Of
themselves" replied the man.
Thinking the newcomer had caught
on to the ruse, the foreman laughed
and set him at other work.
The next morning the new hand
said to the foreman, "The shells are
ready for the furnace, SIR"
The foreman stared at him in
amazement. "You don't mean to say
that you broke them?"
eyes, sir, they're all broken up
nicely" he replied.
Without stopping to question fur
Their, the foreman rushed back to the
pile of shells and found them all split
in two or three pieces. The new
man, instead Of wasting his strength
in futile attempt to pound them to
pieces, had simply filled them with
water from a nearby pump and left
the rest of the task to Jack Frost.
All of which goes to show that
hammering, pounding, swearing and
roaring, all have their place in life,
but the smooth, diplomatic fellow with
brain in his head that he is not
afraid to use, will often accomplish
more than the human pile driver.

THE HUMAN HEAD AND
WHAT 1T IS FOR
(By R. S. Williams, in Harvester
WORLDLY

world.
The story is told of small foun-
dry and iron shop situated in fac
tory town in Pennsylvania. 1t was a
little concern, its methods were
crude, it had no modern equipment,
and the rule of thumb florished un-
checked.
On one accession this foundry
bought small lot of Civil War bomb
shells. These shells had been manu-
featured near the close of the war
and had never been filled with ex-
plosives. They were about foot in
diameter of the best cast iron, and
assumed he had got bargain.
AS we have said, the foundry was
not equipped with modern machinery
and all scrap iron was broken up for
the furnace by men with sledges. The
foreman put couple Of men at the
task Of breaking the shells. To their
surprise, their efforts were futile.
Being spherical in shape with only a
small fuse opening, they presented
an impregnable front to the strongest
blows of the sledge. The men SIM
ply couldn't break them.
Upon being advised of this fact the
foreman in rage picked up heavy
sledge and declared he would show
these weaklings what the right arm of
a strong man could accomplish. After
five minutes furious work, he moppd
the sweat from his forehead, threw
down his sledge, and strobe into the
office.
The owner of the foundry was
two-fisted, hard-headed man who had
fought his way to the top of the bust
ness from the moulding room. He
was a giant in stature and man of
immense strength. He looked up
from his desk to the perspiring fore
man.
"Hello, Jim, what's wrong?"
"Sure, boss, and we picked daisy
when we bought them shells. No
body in the place can break them"
whats that? Do you mean to
tell me the boys can't break those
shells?"
"They can't do it, and what's more,
l can't"
The boss arose, Strengthened his
broad shoulders and looked down at
his foreman with the deepest scorn.
"Jim," he said, you're getting old.
Those old arms of yours are losing
their strength. Where's the biggest
sledge you've got?"
The foreman led the way to the Of
Tending pile Of shells where a goodly
crowd Of men had gathered. Noting
his audience and realizing that his
reputation was at stake, the boss
heated the sledge, spat on his hands,
and delivered mighty blow. The
shell rolled meekly over, but didn't
show a dent. Again he tried-this
time putting all force he could mus
ter into the effort. He couldn't make
an impression. Throwing the sledge
away, he turned to the foreman and
roared, "Take those shells out into
the back lot and don't let me hear of
them again." So the shells were re-
moved and for month lay untouch-
ed.
One day big brawny man drifted
in and asked the foreman for a job.
Thinking to have bit of fun, the
foreman said, "Sure I'll put you to
work. Take this sledge and come
with me-" Leading the man back to
the pile of shells, he told him to
break them up for the furnace. After
he had worked for ten or fifteen min

FARGO COLLEGE
LOSES TOU. N. D
Hilltoppers Are Outclassed
And Outweighed-
Score 800

Grand Forks, N. D.. Oct. 22.-on q
wet and slippery field, Saturday after
noon. the University of North Dakota
football team defeated the Fargo col
lege, 80 TO 0. The game from the
spectators point of view was uninter-
esting, as the result was, apparent
after the first five minutes of play.
The visitors were hopelessiy out
classed. the varsity line opening wide
holes and the backs gaining at will.
The teams were handicapped by the
condition of the field which made fast
play impossible, and this was the rea-
son that the score was not larger.
Fargo college put up stin defense,
but the superior weight and expert
ence, together with a finer brand Of
football soon wore this down. To-
wards the end Of the game the play
became very ragged, fumbles were
frequent and the university was pen
allied time and again. These misplays
can be laid to the condition of the
ield, as the ball was wet and hard to
handle, and sure footing was a rare
thing.
Straight Football Used.
The university team used only
straight football, the wet field max
ing any other game practically i'm
possible. Line smashes, varied with
end runs, with a couple of attempted
forward passes, was the method of at
tack as used by the "U'' team. Fargo
college, on the other hand, finding
that attempts on the line and ends
football. They had little success with
this, however, as they completed only
two passes. and each for a short gain.
