Maroons Defeat Wisconsin.
In a battle royal between two old
rivals, a tight to the finish for Up-
right to lie considered in the running
for the western football championship.
Chicugo defeated Wisconsin by u
score of 15 to 6, Oct. 31. It was a
game that was exhilarating from the
spectator's standpoint, but weird and
disappointing from the standpoint of
football as a fine art. • Spectacular it
was on account of the work of Walter
Eckcrsail. whose trusty leg. like that
of Herschberger in the Michigan
gnme of 1897, won Chicago its victory.
Disappointing it was, from the fact
neither team showed the form in of-
fense or defense which characterizes
championship teams. So far as any
football victory belongs to one man on
a team it cun lie said that because of
Eekersnll's efforls the standard of Chi-
cago still floats on high. His three
goals, drop kicked from the field out
of five attempts, were responsible for
Chicago's score. Wisconsin's touch-
down was made by straight football
by a sixty yard march, which ended
at Chicago's goal line.
Hundred-Mile Record Lowered.
Charles Mock of the Century Road
club of America, lowered the 100-mile
record behind pace Nov. 1. covering
the distance in four hours and forty-
five seconds. S. Cloodwin held the pre-
vious record for this event, which
was four hours thirty-seven minutes,
made in 1898 on the Atlantic City
boulevard on a chain wheel behind
human pace. Mock used a chainless
wheel and was paced by three mo-
tors. The -time for the respective
quarter century circuits was as fol
lows: 1 hour 2 minutes., 1 hour 5*
minutes, 1 hour 8 minutes, 1 hour 10
minutes.
O'Brien Returning Home.
With the return . of “Philadelphia
Jack" O’Brien from England, there
may be some renewals of the chal-
lenges that have been issued to him
while abroad. While in England
O'Brien took part in five fights, and
was successful In all. It Is estimated
that he cleaned up at least $5,000 by
these victories. Ills one main object
in coming home is to post a forfeit to
meet Tommy Ryan. He wants to fight
for the middle weight championship
of the world, and is willing to meet
Ryan tor the title.
Michigan and Minnesota Tic.
After one of the hardest battles
ever fought on a Minnesota gridiron
Michigan and Minnesota left North-
rop field Oct. 31, with the score a tie
at 6 to 6. The contest was. one that
will he long remembered by the huge
crowd of 20,000 people, which filled
the bleachers, and, though the result,
a tie, technically gives neither team
the victory, the Minnesota adherents
regard It as such and have cause to
feel proud. It Is conceded Minnesota
played the better game.
Numerous Records Smashed.
There has been such a bewildering
array of record breaking perform-
ances over the Memphis track during
the meeting just closed that unless
the various achievements of the cham-
pion trotters and pacers are put in
concrete form it is difficult to keep
track of them. In briet, ’it may he
said that Lou Dillon, Dan Patch, Ma-
jor Dclmar. and the trotting team,
The Monk and Equity, have made a
lot of history that is not likely to be
Interfered with for a season or two.
Here is what they have done in the
last two weeks, all the performances
being new world's records:

How Smart Slave Proved the Truth
of His Statement.
“Jerome S. McWade,” said Booker
T. Washington, "seemed to me, when
I was a boy, to be the smartest colored
man in the world.
"Jerome was a slave. He lived in
Virginia, at Hale's Ford. One day he
appeared In a red velvet waistcoat,
and straightway he was seized a>-d
taken to the office, lor Ihis waistcoat
was the master’s property. The mas-
'ter had worn it on his wedding day.
"Well, Jerome • managed to prove
that he had not stolen the waistcoat.
Calhoun Hamilton had stolen it, and
Jerome had bought it from Calhoun
for a small sum.
“.'Now, Jerome.’ the master said. T
admit* you're uot a thief, but you’re a
receiver of stolen goods, and that's
just as bad.’
“ 'No, no, sir,’ said Jerome. 'No,
no. That is not just as had by ho
means.'
“ Why isn't it just as bad?’ said the
master.
“ ‘Because you wouldn't receive
stolen goods yourseix. sir, if it was
bad.
" 'How do you mean? Me a receiver
ot stolen goods? Explain yourself.'
the master commanded.
" ‘Why, sir,’ said Jerome. ‘you
bought and paid for me, the same as
I bought and paid for that red velvet
waistcoat. Well, wasn't I stolen, same
as the waistcoat was? Wasn t 1 stolen
out of Africa?’ ”
GOOD HAUL OF RATTLESNAKES.
Thirty six Bagged in One Week by
a Connecticut Man.
John C. Reeves, of Portland, famil-
iarly known as "Del.” and having a
national reputation as a rattlesnake
hunter, has recently gained fresh lau-
rels.
Ixist week thirty-six rattlers, rang-
ing frqm fifteen inches to four and a
half feet in length, were killed by
him in the Somerset mountains, situ-
ated in the eastern part of Portland.
Seventeen of various lengths were
killed within a space of about fifteen
square feet.
Some of the large snakes had nine
or ten rattlers, while some of the
smaller had but one or two: The
snakes were beautifully striped. Ten
baby rattlers were found huddled to-
gether near their nest, which was a
rock crevice. •
Mr. Reeves captures his snakes by
stealing up to them while they are
basking in the sun and pinning them
to the ground with a forked stick four
or five feet in length. He then uses
a club.
Mr. Reeves finds much sport in rat-
tlesnake hunting, and also finds it
very profitable. One dollar an ounce
is realized for the oil. The skins net
him from 25 cents to $2, and occasion-
ally more for an unusually large one.

Regardin’ Sin.
Sip. so they say, is man’s great foe;
But still I sort of doubt it.
For. candidly. I’d like to know
What life would be without it!
And while too much is not so nice,
A little bit won’t hurt you.
For. I maintain, without som^ vice
There couldn’t be much virtue.
Now. ’sposin’ every one you know.
And all your friends and brothers,
Was all precisely thus and so.
And good as all the others;
Why. earth would be. you'd soon find out,
One long, dull, dreary level,
If no one ever went about
A-kickin' up the devil.
The sight that makes a saint feel glad

The preachers give up preachin’.
By closely tendin’ to my fields
I find, for all my labors.
I'm gettln’ bigger, better yields
Thau ire my lazy neighbors.
But still the pleasure would be small
To see my crops a-growin’
If crops growed Jest the same for all,
Regardless of the hoein*.
Art! so I say some streaks of wrong
A-lutkln' in a system
But serves to make a fellow strong
A-fightin’ to resist ’em.
Tor while the saint all sin destroya
And walks jest to the letter.
The sinner all the w hile enjoys
The hope of doin’ better.

When Trees Were Valued.
Harry C. Piercy, member of the
Republican Club House Committee,
overheard an amusing conversation at
the ladies’ reception in the new club
house last week. A very pretty girl
was talking to an elderly man. They
were standing by the window in the
lounging room facing Bryant Park.
“Oh, Colonel,” said tho young lady,
“just look at those trees! Aren’t they
beautiful?”
• Yes, to some extent,” replied tho
old warrior; "but—"
“Why, don’t you like trees?’’ inter-
rupted the girl.
“Indeed I do! There were times
when I positively loved them—during
the war.”—New York Times.

Tilroe began life as an illustrator
for a comics paper, and the habit of
the railing has followed him into the
legal profession. He never can see a
face intended by nature for caricature
without involuntarily putting his hand
to paper. - The sight of a nose that by
an emphasis of his skillful pencil will
mark a man as a Shylock, or a jaw
which, adroitly shaded, changes firm-
ness to pubnacity, is a temptation
which he is unable to resist.
During t|)e course of a trial, while
his opponent is riddling his fortress of
evidence with bullets of logic and elo-
quence, Tilroe is Wont to console him-
self with paper and pencil at counsel's
table, selecting whatever subject is
convenient.
Tilroe had counted from the first
upon winning the case of Fleet vs.
Moritz. He had studied its knotty
points for months, had interviewed
witnesses by the score and had
trained them to convincing lucidity of
utterance. He had waded through
acres of legal lore, and gathered there-
from a choice collection of "cases in
point," and unanswerable “authori-
ties."
Having rested the case for the plain-
tiff. he settled hack in his chair,
reached for his pencil, as was his
.habit, sharpening it to the proper de-
gree of pointedness, drew toward him
the most convenient piece of blank
paper and looked carelessly about him
for a model. He found it immediately
in the person of a tall, awkward jury-
man. whose heavy eyebrows and pr*m-
’nent proboscis were planned by na-
ture for exaggeration. The defend-
ant’s attorney ambled through his ex-
amination of witnesses and argument
in an unexciting fashion and Tilroe
remained absorbed in his drawing.
The model was proving interesting.
When the time arrived for the sub-
mission of instructions to the jury
there was a hurried search on table,
books and files for one of the plain-
till s instructions was most unaccount-
ably missing. Under the stimulus of
sharp words the cierk from Tltroe's
office finally produced the lost docu-
ment from the waste paper basket,
somewhat rumpled. The usual pre-
liminaries having taken place, the
jury, armed with the customary docu-
mentary information, Hied out of the
courtroom.
Brother attorneys hovering in the
vicinity nodded congratulations to Til-
roe. “Won't have to wait long for
that verdict, Tilroe. Written on the
face of every juryman. Plain as day
light how the case is going.” Tilroe.
himself chuckled as he said: "Take
them about five minutes to come to a
decision, 1 think.” Even the defend-
ant's attorney reluctantly admitted,
by his demeanor, that he hadn't any
show.
At the end o fthe first hour of wait-
ing the bailiff came back with a dis-
couraging message—"Jury disagrees.”
Court adjourned for luncheon. But
in the afternoon it was the same. They
kept the jury there thirty-six, forty-
eight, fifty-two hours, but one obsti-
nate man out of the twelve refused to
amalgamate. The jury was dis-
charged.
Tilroe, his brow corrugated with
many frowns and scowls, called Bith-
ers, his clerk. "Bithers, you follow
this thing up and learn what idiot of
a juryman spoiled the game.”
After a tour of investigation Bithers
walked into Tilroe's office and without
a word of explanation laid before him
a piece of paper. Upon one side was
the plaintiff's instructions to the jury;
on the reverse was the big-nosed jury-
| man in startling caricature.
When He Thinks He‘s Rich.
When is a man rich? Perhaps when
he thinks he is rich. The popular con-
ception of riches is the amassment of
great wealth. A man whose exchequer
represents revenues beyond his ra-
tional needs and his reasonable luxu-
ries will be popularly designated as
rich. It must be remembered, how-
ever, that the standard of wealth, like
the standard of many other things,
has been raised. Synchronously with
the evolution of civilization, we find
human wants multiplying, making
larger incomes necessary for the sat-
isfaction of those wants.
In the days of our grandfathers
the man who could draw his check for
a hundred thousand dollars would
have been reckoned one of the pluto-
crats of the times. It is not so now.
This is the century of colossal for-
tunes. It is estimated that the income
of Mr. Rockefeller is $100 a minute.
This is wealth with a vengeance,
while the prospective billionaire is
becoming a very interesting possi-
bility of the future.
After all, what is it we are so
strenuously pursuing? Concretely, it
is happiness. This logically leads to
a philosophical differentiation ol
pleasure and happiness. Our pleas
tires are objective. They are insepar
ably connected with environment. They
are prismatic, 'delusive, and derive
their greatest force from anticipation.
Conversely, happiness is a growth
from within. Happiness, or true
riches, is to be discovered in the at
tainment of nobility of character, in
the cultivation of altruistic impulses,
in becoming self-reliant, in the enjoy-
ment of those blessed reactionary in
I Alienees that come from uplifting the
unfortunate.
The trouble with money getting is
that it becomes a mania; begets the
spirit of discontent. It feeds ou it-
self. Each million brings new cares,
new anxieties, the necessity for new
safeguards against the day of calam
ity, when our riches jump the track,
and we are unceremoniously landed in
the ditch of poverty. So, I affirm that
a man is truly rich when, in an eso-
teric sense, he is on excellent terms
with himself, and is a living, practi-
cal exponent of the divine principle
of the brotherhood of man.—New
York Times.
Drove Out Mountain Fever.
O. W. acnd3 the following. Thin re-
sembles a treatment that has been
common among the North American
Indians from time immemorial. They
have sweathouses by the side of a
stream, to which they resort once a
year. Hot stones are placed in the
wickiup, and water poured on them,
causing steam, when the small aper-
ture is closed, and the Indian remains
there until he has thoroughly sweated.
Then he jumps into the water and
feels like a new man.
“Ever since my first experience in
combating diseases I have been broad-
er in my views and more tolerant in
my expressions as to the methods em-
ployed by those outside of the profes-
sional ranks, who assume to advise
the ailing ones, it was a stubborn
case of what we miners designated
mountain fever. Stubborn because it
seemed to be aided and abetted by
the usually efficacious remedy, sage
tea. Hence when the suggestion was
made to adopt a more heroic treat-
ment the alarmed miner submitted to
being placed on a stool inside of a
half whisky barrel, containing snffi
cient water, which was heated witb
round boulders made hot in the large
open fireplace of the 12x14 foot log
cabin room. Everything being in read-
iness, and enveloped in a heavy bed
quilt, the suffering man was told to be
as composed as circumstances justi-
fied while on the road to recovery.
"All went well until the last boul-
der, heated hotter than the preceding
ones, was being carefully lowered
into the tub. I don't know how it
happened, but there was a slip, a rend
ing of the water, and a yell, and a
hitman form apparently flying, a
mixed-up jargon of what seemed ir-
relevant profane expletives, in fact, a
sudden return to an aboriginal state,
which was appeased only by repeated
protestations of innocence on my part.
The cure, although sudden, was last-
ing." *
Sure to Turn Out Right.
1 knew a man who never said the world
was going wrong.
Who saw In all life’s discord but the
greater need of song,
He never said misfortune's of which he
had his share
Were brought about because “some
things arc hardly on the square.”
He hail no time at Providence to hurl
his puny curse.
And. for a wonder, didn’t care to run the
universe.
He did his best, and while .some things
would never come his way.
He’d nod hln head and whisper: “It will
turn out right some day!"
He had a little farm one time and worked
it with his might.
Though sometimes all his crops would
fail, be struck with frost or blight:
But then in spite of things like that he
managed all the while
To rise above his trials with an ever-
ready smile.
But then one night in Winter all he had
went up In smoke,
At that we looked to see his cheerful
spirit crushed and broke.
But us he watched the cruel Humes his
fond hopes sweep away,
He smiled and said. “Well, never mind,
’twill turn out rh*kt same day!"
He lost his farm, and then he did whaU
ever he could find
As long as he was able to stand thfc
steady grind.
And then his greatest trouble—his wife
so good and true.
Who'd stood by him in sorrows, and in
Joys, alas! too few.
Died and left him feebly stranded on the
shores of time alone;
And surely now. we thought, his usual
courage must have flown.
But. smiling through his tears, he paused
and bowed his head to suy
"Of course f don't sen why. but then
twill turn out right—some day!"
Some people sing about a faith that lasts
'though heavens fall."
But often at some lesser grief they qulvk-
ly lose it all!
This old man took lile troubles all with-
Out a show of light.
And. s'mply. blindly, trusted that somo
day 'twould turn out right.
Though some to-day may blame a man
who doesn't get along—
Not all succeed while doing 'right: soma
win through doing wrong.
This brave man died. and. let us hope.
he’s gone where sighs are past
That all his many sorrows uav
right.....
