p forward passes, of which were
completed, IL grounded and 4 inter
cepted. Lancaster tried five forward
passes, three of which were completed
and two grounded
The play of the second team during
the last II minutes of the game gives
promise of a good team next year
even with the loss of nearly all the
regulars by graduation.
Both Wilkinson and Mcdonald de-
tracted somewhat from their brilliant
record by several times running to-
ward their own goal line in eluding
NJ. P. tacklers. They got away with
it on nearly all occasions but it is bad
foot ball none the less and against a
team of equal strength might have
proven fatal.
One more game remains on the To-
calls schedule before the season
closes. On Thanksgiving afternoon
the team journeys to Fennimore for
what should be one of the best games
of the year. Early in the season Fen
nimore defeated Lancaster II to 0 and
Lancaster is determined to wipe out
that defeat. Fennirnore has been So
ing well and has more than usually
strong team. She will of course try
her best to make it two straight and
prove that her first win was not due
to getting the jump on Lancaster in
the matter of early preparation. This
with the natural rivalry of the two
teams, should make the coming battle
one worth going miles to see and we
believe it is not too early to urge
upon the faithful to be there and give
their team the encouragement neces-
sary to win.

Fabian Beckett, Dubuque attorney,
wasin Lancaster F&day perfecting an
appeal in the john Beetham case.
Beetham is now serving double SEN
tence in states prison for conyic-
ton on an incest charge last spring.
Beckett's ground for appeal is based
upon a writ Of error, he claiming GER
tain improper procedure in the trial.
Should the Supreme court order a
re-trial any time served in connection
with the previous sentence would not
be considered in passing new SEN

FAMOUS MEN
FRANCOIS euIzor

The most distinguished of all French
historians was Francois Pierre Gull
laume Guizot, who was born in 1887
and lived drought three-feu1ths of
the twentieth century, dying on Sep
TENDER 10, 1874. Guizot spent the most
OF his eighty-seven years in service to
his country both politically and in a
literary sense.
First designed for the law, he for
sock that profession to devote him
self to literature, and his first nubli-
cation appeared in 1909, a dictionary
of the French language, which was
completed when he was % years of
age. Literature was early laid aside
for public duties, the first of which
came with his appointment as genera.
secretary in the ministry of the in
terror During the next fifty years
he contributed literature of his coun-
try, but his time was devoted mostly
to active service, up to the coup d'etat
of 1851, which put an end to his pc
htical career.
The remainder of Guizot's life was
devoted to historical and literary work
His last history was published in 1869,
when he was past so years of age,
showing what an unusually active
brain he possessed. America took so
deep an interest in this French his
terrain that it placed his portrait in
the Chamber of Representative at
Washington, following his publication
OF the correspondence and writings of
! washington in the French language.
Guizet continued his literary work
up to the time of his death The last
line of the fourth volume of his his
tory had just been finished when he
became i'll and so weak that he was
compelled to take to his bed, never to
leave it again. He felt the hand of
death near him and summoned all of
his family. His physician watched
with a skill that was aharpened by
great affection every step of THE
downward progress, against which the
great historian was eagerly fighting.
The dying man spoke little, and seemed
absorbed in his reflections. During one
of his most Wakeful moments he desir-
ed to hear read to him some passages
from his History of France" which
he had recently penned. After his wish
was complied with, he requested one
of his granddaughter who was watch
ing by him, to look in the third volume
for the portrait of Celigny, which he
wished to see again.
After he had been satisfied, NJ. Gut
said: Goodbye, my child, goodbye
Those watching about his bedside fear
ed that this was the last message ht
would deliver to them, but when hi!
daughter, with voice filled with emo
ton, said: I'VE shall meet again, m!
father" M. Guizot whose weakness hat
been so great few moments before
raised on his pillows, his eyes shon
brightly, and his voice seemed to hav
/ regained it's strength as he replied
:. mo one is more convinced of tina
than I am"
Then the silence of death set in. H
. did not open his eyes or. speak TO
hours, and FINALLY his soul entere,
eternity.
The two works, in the writing o
which he was most interested wer
: fluctuations" and his Memoirs" Tn
latter was published in March, 1857
when Guizot was so years of age, an
his "Meditations' one year later.
