abandoned because of those killed or injured 
in playing the game. The element of danger 
will never discourage any of the devotees of 
the sport or lessen its popularity. On the con¬ 
trary, the fact that it is rather a risky sport 
is one of is main attractions. Nevertheless, it 
behooves the college authorities, who are 
morally responsible for the young men under 
their care, to see to it that the hazard be di¬ 
minished as much as possible, and that every 
known precaution should be taken to minimize 
the risk of accident as well as prevent the par¬ 
ticipation of the physically unfit. Athletics is 
recognized as a necessary adjunct to all educa¬ 
tional work, but there is more danger nowadays 
that this branch will be overdone than that it 
will be neglected.—New Orleans Picayune. 
Football—that is, football accidents—seems 
to have a peculiar capacity for exciting the 
public. A baseball player may be struck in the 
head and killed. An automobilist may be 
thrown twenty feet and killed. A motorcyclist 
may break a tire and go through the fence to 
death. Some hundreds of swimmers may go 
to their watery deaths annually, the beaches 
grow no less popular. Canoeists furnish their 
annual list of sudden and unexpected deaths. 
Maine, among others, furnished its quota of 
those who go to kill and are killed. And so it 
goes through all the category of Sports that are 
a bit more strenuous and enlivening than ping- 
pong and parlor-billiards. Men have died of 
slipping down, or up, stairs. Men have choked 
to death on the wishbone of a chicken.— 
Columbia State. 
NEEDED NO GUN. 
Louie Munroe has a little boy of five named 
Anderson, and if that youngster some day 
doesn’t make a hunter, it will be surprising. 
Louie has a little Indian suit he dresses him 
up in sometimes, and most everybody in Wav- 
erly Place knows that suit. They know it 
further off than that, too, for the other day 
the little Indian suit, encasing ‘the form of 
little Anderson, was seen way over past Cum¬ 
berland Park, more than a mile away. It was 
the boy, all right, and a lady recognized him. 
She asked if he wasn’t lost, and what he was 
doing by himself way over there so far from 
home. 
“I ain’t lost,” replied the little fellow; I’m 
out rabbit huntin’.” 
“Well, where’s your gun?” queried the lady. 
“Don’t need any gun,” replied the youthful 
nimrod. “Ain’t here the two best rabbit dogs 
you ever saw?” and he pointed at Lee, the big 
pointer of Joe Zanone, and at Kate, Louie’s 
pointer, that Joe. says looks so much like a 
hound no one will steal her.—Nashville Ban¬ 
ner. 
MYSTERIOUS KNOWLEDGE. 
Some years ago an expedition from the Uni¬ 
versity of Pennsylvania was ,sent to one of our 
Southern States for the purpose of observing 
a solar eclipse. 
The day before the event one of the pro¬ 
fessors said to an old colored man belonging to 
the household wherein the scientist was 
quartered: 
“Tom, if you will watch your chickens to¬ 
morrow morning you’ll find that they’ll all go 
to roost at eleven o’clock.” 
Tom was, of Course, skeptical; but at the ap¬ 
pointed hour the heavens were darkened and 
the chickens retired to roost. At this the man’s 
amazement showed no bounds, and he sought 
out the scientist. 
“Perfessor,” said he, “how long ago did you 
know dem chickens would go to roost?” 
“About a year ago,” said the Professor, 
smilingly. 
“Well, ef dat don’t beat all!” was the man’s 
comment. “Perfessor, a year ago dem chickens 
wa’n’t even hatched.”—Ladies’ Home Journal. 
How many barmade cock¬ 
tails have you had that were 
really suited to your taste ? 
Leave chance-made drinks for 
those who don’t appreciate 
good liquor and to yourself 
and your critical friends serve 
Club Cocktails. They’re 
infinitely better. 
Don’t judge these mixed- 
to-measure joys by any 
made-by- guesswork drink. 
Martini (gin base) and Manhattan 
(whiskey base) are the most popular.
