Horse Adapts Itself to Change.

The horse, which as Thomas
Winans predicts. will be extinct ten
years hence, has shown remarkable
knack OF adapting itself to changing
geological periods. The animal has in
creased In height, while others have
shrunken and disappeared; but the
fossil remains Of horses, only a few
inches high, which roamed our planet
at least two million years ago,
are almost perfect models Of the ex-
listing type. The most marked change
has been in its feet. Beginning with
five toes to each foot, the horse met
changing conditions by occasionally
shedding a toe, and is now the only
one-toed mammal known to natural
lists. That and the progressive In
crease in its size have been the only
evolutionary processes which the horse
found necessary so rs to keep its place
In the sun. AS worker, weight for
weight. 1t beats the elephant hollow

FR0IssART AND HIS HISTORY
Sir John cIeverly WigoIed Out Data
From the Various Errant
Knights of 1857.

Years ago, when was small boy,
I came to bracket Sir John Froissart
with Tacitus, personages who recorded
dull historical facts in needlessly diff
ficult language. OF the two i disliked
Froissart the more, for he wrote In Or
chaic Norman French, to which the
dictionary often offered no clew, says
4 writer In the London Times.
OF course have recast these opin-
ions, but so many years have passed
since read and really enjoyed the
cheerful Hainaulter's ambling through
the history of his times that his book
and its theme were dim in my memory.
What remained vivid enough was the
recollection of his method, for seldom
has historian gathered material in
such wise. Bidden by his master,
Count Robert de Namur, to write a
record of "the wars" young John
Froissart saddled a gray nag. whistled
up useful white hound, which could
always be trusted to add hare or
n rabbit to the pot, and set off on his
travels.
On the road he would fall in with a
knight or man at arms, and worm out
of such a chance companion fhe stories
Of their prowess. At evening, in hos
tclry, monastery or feudal castle. in re-
turn for his own lively yarns, he would
be told others. Bit by bit he built up
a wonderfully accurate narrative Of
events in Flanders, in northern France
and in England. He wrote his history
in 1857.

Black Hawk in Boston.

For some years Black Hawk lived
quietly on small reservation near
Des Moines. In 1887 the peace-loving
keokuk took him with party of Sauk
and Fox chiefs again to Washington,
and on this trip he made visit to
Boston. The officials Of the city re-
ceived the august warrior and his COM
panions in Faneuil hall, and the gov
-ernor of the commonwealth paid them
similar honor ut the statehouse.
Some war-dances were performed on
the Common for the amusement of the
populace, and afterward the party
was taken to see performance by
Edwin Forrest at the fremont thea
ter. Here all went well, except that
at an exciting point In the play the
Indians burst into warwho0p, to
the considerable CONSERVATION Of the
women and children present.-Frederic

Coach Waddell is a Temple Univer-

in bringing Amboy high into sport
lime light. Before his reign here
there were but two major sports
compared with tho present four
sport program. The work of the
coach in an effort to put out a crack
team was largely responsible for the
showing of this years five. Coach
Waddell instifled a spirit of team
work among the men that was a re-
velation to the average person but
not a surprise to those who had
watched this young man on his way
to success.
Captain Eddie Dooley, who led the
Crimson and White this season, was
one of the reasons Cor the success
of the team. His aggressive tactics
put many a game or ice while his
floor work was beyond criticism. Don
Martin, who played alongside of the
captain in most of the games, was
easily the best defensive guard pro-
duced at P. A. H. s. Martin has
