MADE TOP FLOOR DO WORK
Ingenious but Forgetful Young Man
Drafted Door Opener Into Service
and Escaped Reprimand.
H aving on th e th ird successive day
fo rg o tten to ta k e th e front-door key
w ith him a young m an living in one
of th e room s of a first-floor ap artm ent,
stood in the o u ter vestibule wondering
how he could get in w ithout letting
h is landlady know o f his la te st negli
gence. '
Unlocking th e fro n t door w as a sim
ple m a tte r fo r anyone in the a p a rt
m ent, since all one had to do was
press a button, but unfo rtu n ately , the
button w as a t th e fro n t of the a p a rt
m ent and usually when the young
room er arrived, which w as about sup
p er tim e, his landlady was engaged In
th e kitchen a t the o th er end of hei
domicile. Suddenly an Idea cam e tu
him. G lancing over th e row s of mall
boxes on th e wall a i his side, he chose
a b u tton above one of them belonging
to a top-floor a p artm en t.
H e pressed th e button and w aited—
no response. Then he pressed another
button and a m om ent la te r heard the
d ic k of the electric lock release. Step
ping inside be w as soon a t th e door ol
his ap artm en t, which he opened with
his o th er key, w hile the person whe
unlocked th e do w n stairs fro n t door
w ondered why th e supposed visitor did
not appear, says the New York Sun.
Oldtime Football.
Football may be a rough game, but
it is quite gentle aud harm less now
com pared to w hat it used to be. Way
back In tlie E ighteenth century when
th e sport was in its sw addling clothes
the type of ball used w as not so kind
to the feet of th e one who kicked It.

m ade of stra w which w as braided
until a long rope w as obtained. This
w as then wound and coiled into the
shape desired. T he finishing touch
w as to knock it around In w ater until
It becam e h ard and unyielding.
W hen th e le a th e r ball finally re
placed the old stra w model, it was
stuffed w ith horse h a ir u n til It be
cam e h ard and solid. T he lea th er ball
w as a t first scoffed a t by th e old-
tim ers who had played th e gam e when
stra w balls w ere in vogue. Even when
stuffed w ith hair, th e le a th e r ball was
regarded a s a toy for w eaklings who
w ere a fra id of in ju rin g th e ir feet.
T he p a re n ts of Chat age had more
cause to com plain about th e roughness
of tlie gam e th an have those of today,
whose sons kick inflated pigskin in
stead of solid balls of straw .
Surely a Genius.
A m an in a sm all town had a soi
who retu rn ed home from dental col

At the end of a week the neighbor*
told one a n o th e r th a t “p ractice” wa*
indeed th e proper w o rd ; and one o
them even w ent so f a r as to suggest
to th e young d e n tist’« fond fa th e r th at
a m an should be of a m echanical turn
of m ind In o rd er to be a successful
dentist.
"W hy,” exclaim ed th e fa th e r, “Jim

a c u ltiv ato r tooth caught u n d er a r o o t;
w hereupon the boy took his pocket-
knife and tried to cut th e root off. But
finding It slow work, he ham m ered his
knife Into the root w ith a rock unt!
he broke the blade. Then a bright
thought cam e to him. G etting a club,
he whipped th e m ules until th e cu lti

Fear of Old Ideals.
T h e fu tu re Is a blank on which every

Plato, Isaiah, Shakespeare, Michael

tu re as narrow a s my s e lf; th e p ast Is
obliged to be as broad and turbulent
as hum anity, and the upshot of this

men Invent new Ideals because they
dare not atte m p t old ideals. They look
