Quite a number of Tensas people
went down to Natchez on Tuesday to
see the great picture dramatized from
Winston Churchill's celebrated book
"The Crisis". The picture was real
lstic and was particularly interesting
to many of our people who have visited
Vicksburg often and are familiar with
old landmarks about that historic CITY.
where many of the scenes we're taken
along the front of the city and par
ticularly the battle ground in the rear
OF the city which is now converted
into the National Park. The views
are supposed to be of ante bellum
days but many of the buildings are
yet standing and are in very good
state of preservation.
Prof. M. A. Walsworth went to
Baton Rouge on Thursday to accom-
pany three of his high school pupils
who are to enter the State High
School Rally to be held in that city on
Friday. Miss Alma NARROW will rep
resent the st. Joseph High School in
the literary features and will par
ticipate in the joint debate, her theme
being, "Resolved, That universal mil
itary training is essential to the peace
and welfare of our country" Mr..
Alecx Blackman will enter the math-
ematical contests and Mr.. John
Blanche, Jr. will represent the school
in the athletic field and will par
tlcipate in the tennis contests. We
sincerely hope and expect to see st.
Joseph come away victor on every
field in which she may enter.

The yacht "Oasis", so hip. 10th
Century, passed up the river last Sat-
urday and put into st. Joseph for
practically the entire day to repro
vision. The COASTS" is owned by Mr..
J. s. Stevens of Portsmouth, Ohio,
and is bound for the home port at Gin
cinnati. Mr.. Stevens is accompanied
by his wife and son and has a captain
and crew in charge Of the yacht. They
left Maine, Florida, some weeks
since and had a safe and pleasant
voyage through the Gulf to the jetties,
where they encountered the only
rough weather experienced on the
trip. The COASTS" which is elegantly
fitted mp throughout, has two decks,
coy and comfortable saloon or dining
hall, six state-rooms, each COM
Portable and we'll appointed, bath
room, kitchen and engine room, all of
which is on the lower deck, the up
per deck being devoted exclusively to
sightseeing and is furnished with
lounges, hammocks, easy chairs, card
tables and indeed practically every
thing that can add to the comfort and
pleasure Of the passengers. The yacht
is equipped with electric lights
throughout with telephone commui-
cation between decks and forecastle
and engine room. Gasoline is the only
fuel used to furnish power or for
cooking purposes. In short the yacht
is model of elegance and comfort and
must be the source of much pleasure
to the owner.

Football Star Tells of Plunge to
No Mans Land.
Lieut.. Schaefer Led SammieS
Thru Gas Attack.

Chicago. Ill, Dec. 25.-Lieut. Wal
ter B. Schaefer, former half back of
the University of Chicago football
team, claims to have been the first
American officer to go over the top
into mo Mans Land under the bar
rage of French gunners, according to
a. letter exhibited today by Schaefer's
fraternity brothers at the Midway
school.
Schafer in his letter told of the
manner in which the small body of
American troops crept out in the night
under a peppering of bullets, to cut
away the barbed wire entangleme nts
in order that the heavy assault might
be made the following day.
1T was a dark night when We were
told in the trenches that it was the
time for the start" said Schaefer.
Just as we were making final prep
arations a French officer came run

' clock Says He Was Greatest
Mat Artist of History.
There Will Never Be Another
Like Him.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York, Dec. 25.-With the pass
ing of Frank Gotch, the wrestling
world lost the greatest grappler OF
his weight and inches who ever step
ped upon mat.
Gotch was the retired heavyweight
champion of the world. He gave his
title to Charley Cutler of Chicago,
psfter he had met and conquered
every aspirant who possessed enough
class to demand match, and he car
ried the title of "undefeated cham
pion" to his grave.
At the catch-as-catch-can style OF
wrestling GOtch was a past master.
The world has never seen his equal
and may never again see a wrestler
as good as he was in his prime. He
met and defeated men of superior
physical bulk with ease.
All Opponents Easy.
He handled his opponents. with the
exception of Tom Jenkins, from whom
he won the American championship
in 1904, and George Hackenschmidt
whom he defeated for the worlds title
in 1908, with surprising ease.
In his second meeting with Hack
enschmidt in that memorable bloom
err staged in Chicago in 1911, Gotci
introduced his perfected toe-hold, ths
most effective hold recognized as
legal one that has ever been invent
ed. The toe-hold simply made Gotch's
work easier, for once he secured tina
deadly toe-lock it was pay day.
Gotch was so good at his best thai
only one man ever secure a fall from
him after he became champion. Ere
Beell took the first fall to Gotch's
second and third in their match in
New Orleans in 1905.
There was only one Frank Gotch.
There will never be another wrestler
like him
