They were all football fiends of some stripe and they appeared to be very friendly as they sat in the club sipping their various poisons. "What do you think of the new rule In regard to the changing of sides aftei each touchdown?" asked the little doc tor. "That's all right." grunted the squint eyed one, "but they ought to make a rule so there would be lees delay In the game. Why I refereed' a game up In New England the other day where It finally got so dark that the two teams couldn't see each other. Each got a ball and made a touchdown at the same time. I had to light a match to see who had won." After a short, hard silence the little doctor said: "I believe its going to rain tomorrow. It seems to rain every Sat urday now," "O tush, little man," spoke the one with red hair. "You don't know what rain Is in these parts. You ought to go to Ore gon, where they play football during the rainy reason. When the captains toss the coin before the game starts the win ner chooses ns Sal according to the run of the current instead of the direc tion of the wind." "I had a dream once," quoth in soft tones the ex-quarterback. "It was after the Yale-Penn game In '93. I dreamt that I almost scored on Yale by myself It was this way: In my dream I found that I could fly. I started down near our goal with the ball. First I upper cut HInkey as I flew by. Then lighted upon Frank Butterworth's head, just to annoy him. The crowd cheered, but final ly, Just os I was about to fly over the goal posts, something seemed to be hold ing me back. Looking over my shoulder I found that I was growing a tall. There stood Heffelfinger prinkllng salt on It I struggled and struggled to get away, and finally was Just about going over the bar when I woke up." The stillness after this did not last long. "The nearest I ever came to being In a football game," said the tall, slim man, "was out West. We had Just left Chi cago on the Rock Island flyer. I was In the smoker talking to a large, well-built young chap, and the subject was foot ball. Ho was just telling me how he was a player- himself vhen a terrible crash came and the next thing I knew .1 was lying over In a cornfield wondering whether I-was dead. Then right in my ear came in car-spllting sounds. 'Give 'em , boys. We've got 'em on the run, 14-1S-3-G. Now! Gee whiz! but that was a hot scrimmage." Then I saw that It was my football friend just coming to, and I departed. I don't believe I'd "care to play footbnll, but I do like to watch it" Philadelphia North American. Sentence of.

Washington Star. "The recent suicide of a woman by shooting herself in the head at her home near the District line," said an old head quarters detective sergeant, "calls up the fact that this Instance is the only one I can recollect In a service of over 20 years on the force of where a woman took her llfejby" blowing out her brains. "Suicide by means other than by swal lowing poison, or by drowning, of women Is extremely rare all over the country. I recall but three casos In Washington dur ing my service, and they were all by cut ting the throat. On Capitol Hill some years ago a woman murdered her hus band in this manner, and then turned the blade upon herself. There was another similar case of suicide in South Washing ton, and the remaining case was in the northeast. "Women do not like to die by drawing blood. Women of all classes and degrees cannot bear the sight of blood nor endure the thought of ending their lives by shoot ing themselves or by slashing their arter ies. Usually In these very rare instances of the suicides of females the victims are of unsound mind. A woman will freely talk of dying by poison or by drowning without a quiver, but will shuddei when the suggestion be made that she cut her throat or sever the arteries In her wrist. The first thought of the average man Is to puta pistol to his head. Such Is the marked and Interesting difference in the sexes.

But a knife or a re volverugh! The wound hurts so, too. and they are so dreadfully bloody and disfig uring.

The Chickering piano is the oldest piano manufactured In America, and the model of all later makes." It has a peculiarly i rich tone, that has been equaled In no other Instrument that has ever been pro- . duced.

"Upon the whole, however, Washington may be said to Have less than the usual number of suicides of both male and fe male In proportion to the population as compared with other cities. This may be attributed to climatic influences, to the absence of that terrible strenuousness of life seen in the metropolis, to the absence of those frequent and distressing instances of miserable coverty and squalor, to the absence of nerve-racking noise and the hurly-burly metropolitan wear and tear, and to the absence of the rift-raff of the ragged edge of society, which we do not see here. Be the causes what they may, our suicides are less 'in proportion, and upon the whole the condition may be said to reflect the quiet, even life of the capi tal." Ready to Ship Piling;.
