"ANGEE" OF SENATE PAGES
Political Opponents of Senator EIL<ins Aver He Is Appearing in En-
 tireIy New Light.

When Senator Phelan of California retired from the senate there was an air of gloom around the haunts of the pages on the Democratic side which couldn't be dispelled. The California senator has been the official angel of the pages for years and he had seen to it that they got tickets for baseball games and such things. Being a page without having an angel is hardly worth while.
 About this time Senator Davis El- kins of West Virginia heard about the desperate situation of these boys and declared he would be the official angel for the suffering pages. Since Senator Elkins is supposed to own lot of coal mines and oil wells and perhaps a rail- road here and there, if they haven't been mislaid lately, nobody could make a grander angel and the pages see be- fore them a summer marked by ball games, strewn with lollypops and ice cEeam.-Buffalo Express.

He Knew He Had Not Missed

from their perches by the approx ching figure, flew down the trail in front. Cranston pressed back the hammer of his rifle. The click sounded loud in the silence. He had grown tense and still. and the leaves no longer rustled
 His eyes were intent on a little clearing, possibly one hundred yards up the trail. The trail itself went straight through it. And in an in- stant more, Hildreth pushed through the buckbrush and stood revealed in the moonlight.
 If there is one quality that means success in the mountains 1t Is con stant, unceasing self-control. Gran ston thought that he had 1t. But per haps he had waited too long for Hill dreth to come; and the strain had told on him. He had sworn to take no false steps; that every motion he made should be cool and sure. He didn't want to attract Hildreth's at tention by any sudden movement. All must be cautious and Stealthy. But in spite of all these good resolutions, Cranston's gun simply leaped to his shoulder in one convulsive motion at the first glimpse of his enemy as he emerged into the moonlight.
 The end of the barrel struck a branch of the shrubbery as 1t went up. It was only a soft sound; but in the utter silence 1t travelled far. The gun barrel caught the moonlight as 1t leaped, and Hildreth saw It's glint in the darkness.
 He was looking for trouble. He had dreaded this long walk to the settle ments more than any experience of his life. He didn't know why the let ter he had written. asking for an armed escort down to the courts, had not brought results. But 1t was wholly possible that Cranston would have answered this question for him. This same letter had fallen into a cer- tain soiled, deadly pair of hands which was the last place in the world

Fraternity the Great Need.

It was Victor Hugo who conceived this thought: 1.-The true resistance of man against catastrophes is an aug mentation of humanity. Love one an- other, aid one another. Solidarity of men is the retort to complicity of mys- terious facts. It is thus that is eStab- Iished on earth the third term of the grand human formula, fraternity. Gov ernments put obstacles in the way of liberty and equality, they will come in their time, in spite of the monarchy ; equality in spite of the ariStocracy. But fraternity is the opening door. the emptying purse, the helping hand"
 To be sure, the majority may be wrong, but you have to live with 1t, don't forget that.

From Nenana to Me Grath By Way of
 Lake Menchumina

c. o. Peterson arrived at McGrath carly Monday morning., coming down on the Maple Leaf. MT. Peterson was a member of the Sam sSanderson party, joining them at Nenana. The party chartered the little stern wheeler Pio- neer, Captain George Black, leaving Nenana on June IT. It is said that the steamer Pioneer is the first steamboat to cross Lake Menchumina.. The party had three head of horses to- pack their outfit and were going to prospect on the North Fork of the Kuskokwim, but as none of the party had ever been in the country they had some difficulty in locating that fork-in fact they didn't know for sure until they met Herman Hinsche. who told them they had been on the North Fork Mr. Peterson came from MT. -Hinsche's place to the Landing on Jesse Yoder's launch, the rest of the party returning with their horses, although some of them may come to McGrath little later on. Other members of the party were Sam Sanderson, Frank O'Neill, Bill Long, ley, Chris Radovich and Spud Walch.

WHLRE ARE
 THESE: MEN
Travelling From Ruby to Ophir --- Several
 Days Overdue.

That four men-three from Fair banks and one from welcoming from Ruby to this section are lost on the trail between Cripple and Ophir is quite probable, according to word brought here by Al Thorns, who re- gently, with W. w. Lukens, came over the trail from Ruby.
 Douglas Meade, from Treadwell. was on his way to Nixon. The other men, whose names are not obtainable. are believed to have been coming to work for the Alaska Road Commission.
 The four men left Ruby on July IT in company with Buckskin Bill, an old timer in the lditarod section, who was bringing over four horses for, the Alaska Road Commission.
 Believing that they could make bet ter time, the four men left the driver and horses just before reaching Grip pie, where they spent the night, about July 26,s but again reioined Buckskin Bill at Folger creek, twelve miles this side of Cripple. The driver says they again left him at that place, since which time he has not seen any of the party.
 On August Al Thorns, coming over the trail found scattered in the flats at the mouth of Dominion, creek. about two and half miles this side of Folger creek, the discarded pack of some of the party. In this discard was large war bag, a parka, fur cap, woolen mit- tens. socks, good-sized Mackinaw coat. piece of canvas. about six-feet square, a feather pillow, blankets, piece of sole leather, hand satchel, writing ma terial, picture postcards with Dawson other small articles Mir. Thorns and Mir. Lukens followed the tracks of two men only for several miles up Dominion creek, where he iually lost view of them.
 Buckskin Bill reached Ophir about August 4,~ and the men should have been there July 2S. There had been no trouble, but Meade took his belong ings while the driver was looking for a stray horse, thinking doubtless to make better time.
 The party had discussed the possi- bility of going toward the Innoko and coming up on the scows. The driver showed them the direction to Ophir, aud as they had a map. compass, fish hooks and guns, believed they would arrive safely. At Cripple the party got IT pounds of four. but otherwise they were about out of grub.
 Commissioner Smith, of Ophir, is re ported to have sent out a searching party to try to locate the missing men. The Marshal's office here has wired to Flat and Ruby. asking any travellers to I keep,a lookout for, them, also to wire here should they turn up at either lplace.

PAUL robson,
RUTGERS STAR,
With AKRON

AKRON, O., Oct. 20.-Paul Robson,
afl4American tackle from Rutgers, now
assistant coach at Rutgers, has signed a
contract to play with the Akron Pros
for the coming season. The Akron
eleven holds the professional Champion
ship for the 1920 grid season. Robeson
and Pollard are the only two colored
players who have ever been picked by
Walter Camp Tor berths on big mythical
all-American teams. .-44
Robson comes highly recommended,
the Pros owners receiving assurance
that he will make fans forget Bob Nash.
He is a giant in size, weighing 225
pounds and is 9 feet ~ inches tall in
his stocking feet. Many critics have
claimed Robson to be one OF the finest
specimens OF American manhood ever
seen on an athletic field. Robson ar
rived in Akron last Friday and lett with
the team to play the Chicago Maroons
Sunday.
Robson is scheduled to play tackle
with the Pros. Captain Copley is to be
moved over to fill guard position
This spot has been weak for some time
and with the signing of Robson it has
been deciried to make this change to
make the team, stronger both on the
defensive and offensive
Robson is one of the greatest line
men ever turned out in the East In
addition to being 4superlatiye player,
both on the defensive and offensive, he
is able to hit the line when a few nee
essary yards are needed. While at Rut-
gers he played end, and it was largely
through his work that Cupid Blacks
Naval team went down to defeat at the
hands OF Rutgers. An adept at pluck
ing forward passes out of the air, and a
wonderful player at diagnosing plays
directed at his side OF the line, Walter
Camp, dean of football chose this giant
marvel in preference to field of won
derful material.

LINCOLN BEATS
ANNAPOLIS, SO

LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pa, Oct
22.--On last Saturday Lincoln played
the. Ward Athletic Club of Annapolis,
and returned victor by the score OF
90. The Annapolis aggregation has al
ways been hard proposition, and has
always offered a stiff resistance to other
teams. 1t is composed OF men who play
year after year. and are, therefore, sea-
soned veterans.
On Saturday it rained until noon and
the field was well soaked, and that made
it impossible to get going" very many
plays, In less than FIVE minutes after
the Kickoff by Lincoln to Annapolis,
Lincoln had recovered the ball and car
ried it over for touchdown. The
soggy condition of the ball and the in
ability of the players to keep their foot
ing were largely responsible for any fur
Their scoring
The Lincoln line held like a stone wall
against the strong attacks of the oppos-
ing team, and the Annapolis team
showed its strength on the defensive.
Coach Shelburne is likely to make
some changes in his back field as the
result of this game, for although com
ditions were unfavorable for carrying
the ball, he was just little disappointed
with the showing his men made.

HOWARD BLANKS
VA. NORMAL
&c To D

WASHINGTON d. c, Oct; 20
Howard University overwhelmed the
eleven of the Virginia Normal and In
dustral Institute, 20 to 0, in the foot
ball game on Howard Athletic Field,
Saturday, November %. The Virgin
ians were big, husky players, who
probably outweighed the Howard
boys slightly. but their expected often
sivc did not materialize.
Neither team was able to score in
the first quarter. Both showed power
ful offensive work, and although the
Nirgnians' line appeared quite strong
on the attack, its drive was not quite
strong enough. When the Blue and
White" finally broke through, the visi-
tors defenses, they smothered them
under the two touchdowns which were
credited TO them so quickly in the sec
ond quarter that the Virginia boys
were fairly amazed. The farther the
game went, the more pronounced be
came Towards superiority.
During practically the entire second
half Howard kept the ball in its pos
session, but the Virginians held well
when their goal was threatened. Four
times the visitors held the Blue and
White" eleven off after they had
pushed them up to their 5-yard line.
Once, when the Nrginians held How
ard for downs on their 5-yard line and
upon the attempt to kick out, Howard
blocked the bali and recovered it for
a touchdown. Howard broke through
three times and blocked the Virginians
kick-outs.
For the visitors. the work of Captain
Spratley, right halfback, was good, and
the punting OF Fullback Dykes was a
conspicuous feature. Howard had the
forward passing game down fine, and
made two touchdowns as a direct re-
suit OF two losses, one OF which netted
about Is yards. For the third time
this season, the Howard, machine
emerged not only victorious but un-
scored unon
