As a matter of prosaic fact, these Sard-working and well-behaved wards of the nation have been from the start models of disciplined and educated con duct on the football field as welt as off, says the correspondent of an exchange. These lads are Intensely fond of foot tall, and they have left In them an In herited Indifference to hurts and a toughness of fiber that are their strongest qualities when added to swiftness and agility of movement. I have seen them play through a hard game without one call for "time out" because of injury, and nearly every one who has seen them play must have noticed the fierceness of their tackling; and their fashion of breaking out of a scrimmage like so many rubber balls. Their weakness is an argument in favor of the claim that football Is a question of the trained mmd as much as the powerful body. It Is mental alertness and adaptability that the Carlisle players find themselves lacking when they meet the first-class teams. To analyze and meet the unexpected and to solve the problems of a scienti fic attack and defense of a style to which they are not accustomed puizles the slower and leas effectively trained mind Jf the Indian, and he cannot make as quick a change of mental base as the white youth. This Is .to be ex pected, and the astonishing feature of it is that the Indian player is able to make the showing he does. He comes to Carslile from the reservation a little savage, and in perhaps a half dozen years, he is fashioned into the clean. aien, seii-rsBpefiing yuuiig biui wuu delights those who know good foot ball, played with ardor, yet with self control, and intelligence of a high order.

A 15-year-old girl of Spokane stole the contents of her grandfather's purse to buy a trosseau for her coming mar riage eave the mark! A girl of 13 at Whatcom threatened to kill herself be cause her parents objected to her en feagement to a boy of 16. Then she went out Into the woods and fired two shots Into the air to make her parents believe she had carried out her threat while aha walked to a neighboring town and secured work. We shall hear of children In the kindergarten eloping before long. In fact, a truant officer who went after a 14-year-old girl found her married and busy In the kitchen. Colombia threatens the United States. Gen. Reyes eavs the entire Colombian people will be turned loose upon us unless we back down and out. If Gen. Reyes carries out his threat there will be a general raise in the price of coffins, with Colombia at the business end of the enterprise. A misguided young man with a pre dilection for embracing young women with whom he has not even a bowing acquaintance finds himself in the close and ardent embrace of a strait-Jacket at Stockton. The weather is now moat propitious for the Chinook to go to work and the people of Oregon, and Astoria In parti cular, are awaiting with some anxiety the result of trial operations, which will doubtless be successful. When a girl of 14 marries to avoid having to go to school it Is reasonably ret tain that she is taking a Hying leap from the frying pan into the fire, re marks one who ought to' know all about it. The latest scientific horror is the an nouncement that there is more nutri ment In a slice of bread and butter than In ten pints of beer. A newspaper should occupy the field Intended for It. It should not become judge, jury and high executioner. The street car strike in Chicago is bringing about a serious condition of j fe affairs. The Interests of the public demand that such dUmgreenwni shouli have Bpeedy settlement. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY. Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tab lets.
