A little girl of this city, after hav ing nput a half hour before the mir ror, turned to her mamma and re marked: "How much prettier God makes little girls now than he did when you were born, mainnu." That little lady did not have much to be thankful for Thursday. The Albany Democrat yesterday had a Thanksgiving article, telling what the ill Huron t Willamette vallsy towns were thankful for. Of Eugene it said: "Eugene people are shouting irloilously because they have a crack football team, and It will take a big wish bone to satisfy them." Albany Democrat: "During the (rial or Mrs Hannah the ventilation in t be court room was very po'ir for so large it crowd. Attorney Young fainted during the afternoon, while milking his argument for the state, a large lady Incite audience had to be taken out and a little boy was carried from the room, so that altogether the scone was an Interesting one, but yet of a serious nature."

TIE PENNANT IS OUBS It Wis i llillv bided t But the I. ol O.'s Wo Gamp, TkilciM t U.

The fact that the L. of O. has met uml conuiierrd both Portland ami Halem, either of which teams is far superior to Forest drove, practically settles the matter ao far as the pen uaut Is concerned. The day opened up yesterday with drearv urosnects for a football game. A warm soulli wind was blowing ami had brought ralu by niuu o'clock. The rain Tell In torrents lor a coupie oi hours, soak inr the around and render Inn it very disagreeable underfoot. The footballlsti though were not daunted in the least, and atU..'(0a procession was formed and the teams were couveyeu inrougii me wrecis under escort of the Eugene ( ornct Hand. Iemon yellow and old gold and acarlei were botn eounoeiuiy disulayed. and iiiyrinds of tin horns kepi up a terrect medley or eel-split tin if screeches lly 12 'clock mo rain na i ceased to rail, and by tne tiuiu every one nau Uuished his Thanksgiving turkey, oc casional glimpses of the sun could be caught through tne parting ciouus. Hhortly after 2:30 the two elevens made tneir appearance ou ine gnu iron. lly this time fully ln00 people had assembled to see the game. '1 lie "howlers" for the lemon hue were numbered by the hundreds, while but few of tho supporters or the gold and scarlet were prwsvul to cheer their colors on lo victory. Iho Held waa sloipv, but much belter than was exiwcleu. The two teams lined up tor the game with Def orrcst of Portland as umpire, Terrell oi corvaiiis as roiereo and tf. McAlister of this city us lines man. The U. or O.'s secures! the klckoft and sent the pigskin Hying down toward Willamette's goal. The light was then ou lu real earnest, and evtry Inch of the ground was stub boiulv coniestetl. ine lao elevens surged back and forth ocrnns the Held, but the ball was ou Willamutte'H ground most of the time, and the U of O ' how lers" kept up a continual up roar aa by one successful piny after another the home team lorcod the ilgsklu through Willamette's line mid ou toward the goal. Tiie result of tho game was decided In tlie minds or tho spectators soon after the beginning of the first half. The U of O'ssoou roved themselves to be the superior team. Willamette whs weak in the center ami the U of O'a would contin ually sniuth through at Hint point. Several times they had the ball Well down toward Willamette's goal when the latter would obtain it and by it successful punt send it back up into the field. The U of O's would then by a series of center and end plays work the ball back toward Willam ette's goal. A Unit the middle or the Hint hair I" Templeton, u oi u s rigtii half, secured tun ba'l and scored a touchdown. II Tumpleion, full hack, kicked a goal, scoring six points for the home team. Ou the second kick- oil' tho teams alternated back and forth across the Ibid, neither team loln gable to gain much and when time was called the tuill was a short distance down in the V of O's fluid. In the beginning of the second half the U of O's forced the ball well down u to Willamette's Held and kept It there most of the time. The latter bravely contested every inch of the ground and would occasionally gam back some or the ground they hud lost by a Bucoessful punt. Savage, Wil lamette's left half, made some good runs aud saved his leant from a worse deleat. Hut Shattuck, the big left guard. Coleman, EdniuuiUmi mid Temphvou were too much for the visitors and they had to hiicciiiuIi to defeat. Toward the latter part of tho last half the U ol O's had the ball within two yards of Willamette's goal line, when they lost It on a down. A technicality arose ami the decision was given lu favor of Willamette, thus causing the home team to lose a touch down which they had lairly won. The Willamette were now liecomlmr des perate, and the U of O's were consid erably disgusted with the decision whloli lost to them a touchdown and continued the game with le sspiilt. Willamette strained every nerve and gradually forced the ball back by n series of excellent plays to the center of the 0eld, but could not score, ami when time was called the II mil score stood 0 to 0 In favor of tho homo teatu.

After the game Referee Terrell, of Corvallls, went to Templeton. who had the ball on the tlt down two yards from Willamette's goal line, but wito lost li on a decision of the referee which gave the ball to Willamette. and acknowledged that he had made a wrong division owing to his Inability to see the ball. He expressed his re gret but It was too late to rectify tho matter. Templeton had the ball, bad called out a down and started to arise to hi feet, wneo a Willamette man fell on the ball. The unfair decision which followed gave Willamette the ball aud prevented the.;U of O's from scoMig a louchdowu and a goal, which would have made the score 12to0. The touchdown would have been asl ly obtained, as the U of O's had the bull, and had two more downs at a di lance of only two yards from the goal Hue. A LIVRLY CELEI1RATIO.V. About 7 o'clock lu the evening Wll lamette street presented a lively ap pearance, hundreds of ladies and gen ileiiieu ami children marching through the same. A drum corps was formed, and a Inrue number of other fell lu line Willi bells, horus and everything that would tend lo make a noise. The din was terrible. Every few yards they would give their now yell: We made six, They made none, We can do It again, Hy gum! Rah! rah! rah! Oregon! The Willamette's were also out lu full force. They gave their college yell and also the following: "What's the matter with Paige? He's) all right!" "What's the matter with the bath? It's all right!" "What's the matter with Eugene? She's all.Eriichl!" "What's the matter witli theUofO team? They're all right!" llieu they gave tlie-rvrralu to 'lie above yell: 1 hey made six, We made u me, They can't do It again, Itv gum!

The Salem team left for home ou this uioriiiuit's local train, a large iiuiiiIh.t of students being present lo them oil'. TheU. ofO. boys gave three cheers fertile Willamettea with a will and the same was returned by the visitors. NOTK9. Every professor was pruseut. It was not a waiting game. The mud was deep aud sticky. All the UofO boys did good work. The streetcars did a good business. Very little money was wagered on the game. Tho Eugene ttoys play fair foot ball all the time The Salem Statesman should "get under cover now." Excellent order was maintained. Eugene la famous for this, Judge nan and Secretary Klncald witnessed the game and howled lor the U. efO. boys. .Much credit is due Coach llenson for tho excellent manner in which he trained the L ofO. hoys. Harvey Jordan did not come to Eu gene. Mis mother got "dangerously ill ' at the right moment. The fair sex attended the football game lu goodly numliers to cheer the boys onto victory by their presence and applause. 1 ho Salem boys say they would have won If the field had been dry. They forget that Islust what tht Eu gene beys wanted. Mark Hnvage, of the Willamettea, Is great fo tball plavcr. He was heered many times by the Eugene people ror his many excel out t avs. And we might remark right here that he is not blessed with a mass of hair that Is supposed to be necessary of a llrst-class player. In fact his glassy head wns taken many tluirs for the pigskin. Pally UusrO November Small Fikk.

R. l'ierson iir kind: Tho timo will soon be hera when those who winter their "mums" must be getting ready to have good shaped, well rooted plants to start with in the sprine As a rule, old plants ara not worth keeping after tho blossoms are gone. Let those who are not successful in raising them from cuttings, take those small plants that come up this fall, around the edges of the pots, put them in a . or pail and mark them in sLa way, if you care to know the dim.-. ent kinds, then winter thetn in light cellar. Keep them growing slowly, by not letting them get too dry and on all warm, pleasant days set them out of doors so they may grow hardy and stocky. In the spring bed them out and keep them pinched back until the last of Au gust. By so doing you can shape them to suit yourself and keep them from growing so tall as to be easily broken off by the wind. They need plenty of sun to bring out the rich colors. Unless you hive an abundance of water near by it will be better to keep them potted and water by setting in a tub and leaving them there until they are thoroughly wet. After they are budded water with liquid manure us they are great feeders. American Agriculturist: The mail servico in many rural districts is a positive disgrace. One or two mania week is the rule in bun dreds of country towns, and in many a single mail at intervals of 10 davs to two weeks is the rule. In such places the post otlice maybe in a blacksmith shop or crossroads store where frequently no one is in charge to hand out the mail. And to Bend a letter the people have to travel for miles to the postoluce. It is high time all this was chanced. The postoflioe should reduce its rates to absorb the whole business of transporting merchandise in small packages, as well as books, papers and letters. More frequent mails and free collection mid de livery in all well-settled country districts would make a stupendous increase in the mail service that could not fail to pay its way in a very few years. I he government could well afford a deficit of a few millions to inaugurate this improve ment in view of the benefits it would confer upon rural popula tion. Ihese people need every possible help a perfect mail service can give; lor H is me best ana cheapost way of dispelling the iso lation of farm life and making it so attractive that population will again turn toward the farm. Such a mail service is the least this great government can give the people. One of the largest advertisers in London says: "We once hit upon a novel expedient for ascertaining over what area our advertisements were read. We published a couple of half columns advertisements in which wo purposely unstated half a dozen historical facts. In less thnn a week we received between 300 and 400 letters from all parts of the country, from people wish ing to know why on eartli we kept Buch a consummate idiot, who knew o little about English history. The letters kept pouring in for three or four weeks. It was one of the best paying advertisements we ever printed, but we did not repeat our experiment, because the one I reforred to served its purpose. Our letters came from schoolboys, girls, professors, clergymen, school teach ers, nnd, in two instances, from eminent men who have a world wide reputation. 1 was more im pressed with the value of advertis ing fiom those two advertisements than I should have been by vol umes of theories."
