line. Then Ryan rifled a pass, which
was detected by York, Badger back,
into the hands Of Crete, who made
a sensational juggling catch for the
score. The goal kick failed.

end zone. Rowland kicked the extra
point, making the score Wisconsin

The game, brim full of excitement,
reached its height a few seconds
later when Jefferson, Northwestern's
Negro halfback, took Hovland's kick
off, and ran 80 yards down the side
line for touchdown.
He took the ball on the 8-yard line,

In the closing seconds of the
game the Wildcats attempted to tie
the score by firing four successive
passes which failed.
The Badgers, now cunning for at

by scoring IL first down to 6 for
Northwestern and outrushing the
Cats 10l to 88 yards. They COM

two OF them good for touchdowns,
while the Wildcats made good 3

 Colonel House shied from personal publicity and declined public office His retiring nature combined with the highly confidential character of the business he transacted for the President heightened the wall of mystery which concealed him from public com prehenson.
 Some politicians unable to fathom his apparent lack of interest in personal preferment, wondered what he had to grind" Indignant at such in- situations, he said

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30, 1888
 According to astrology this is an uncertain day in planetary di- rection-a time to pause for care full planning of future activities, commercial or governmental.
 Labor is still subject to grave DOT tents. Propaganda will be bitter against union leaders and federal regulation.
 Owing to an untoward incident there is to be determined3public pro- test against the spread of propagan- da intended to sway the public re- garding international questions.
 Women today are under mod erately encouraging planetary di- rection which will incline them toward conservative views and ana lytical discussion.
 Girls will probably find this an suspicious configuration for starting any new course of study or social program. The rule is only faintly encouraging to romance and seems to presage caution on the part Of young men in regard to marriage.
 Writing is under fairly favorable sway, but love letters may be boom- eranss. The signing of contracts should be moderately fortunate.
 In the late hours of the day there is a sign favorable for constructive plans. Conferences, committee meet ings and business consultations are subject to promising aspects.
 The stars seem to favor persons who wield authority. The planetary government is helpful to employers and financiers.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of more than average success and prosperity. For the young courtship and marriage are indicated. Special care to avoid accidents is necessary.
 Children born on this day pro- bably will be gifted in imagination and mental powers. Subjects of this sign succeed as writers.

 My opinion of food says MT.

 He has other bright ideas, such as serving the finest food would want to eat-wth strong odor of cabbage coming from the kitchen One tears that might morify the hostess much as the guest However it can be put down another idea to keep in mind when one greets the unwelcome guest
 One notes that Seldes spoke at a dinner whose menu included celery But the crunching must have been long before he discussed food as weapon By that time the company was engaged with Savarn au rum Laromead Chabis and Bergundy. all of which help one to view ones fellows even celery crunchers with degree of tolerance.
