' MADE A tffcCORD RUN.
And at That He Only Mad« Hia Team,
mates Furlout.
Two small college teams played a
football gams In New York state. The
winning team ran up something Uko
108 points to the other's nothing, yet
the most sensational ran of the gnmo
was made by a member of the defeated
team.
Toward the end of the game the ball
was fumbled by one of the backs on
the winning team. The ball rolled out
toward an opposing player, who 'mme
dlately swooped down upon it, gather
ed It under his arm and fled down the
field like the wind.
At this a howl went up from the
spectators that might be heard for
miles. That shout gladdened the heart
of the runner, for he realized that ho
was at last doing what he had always
HS FAIBLY FLEW.
longed to do. He was about to make
football history.
He bad about a hundred yards to
run, and be determined to reach that
goal or die. One of bis teammates ran
toward him and shrieked. The runner
put on an extra burst of speed. It was
very encouraging to be applauded by
players and spectators alike.
Presently he beard feet pounding
heavily behind him. But he felt confi
dent be could never be caught The
ground sped by under his feet, and the
ten yard marks were passed as though
they were but a few Inches apart
Only a few more yards, and then
fame!
But for all the runner's speed the
pounding feet behind him drew stead
ily closer. The man carrying the ball
heard them with dismay.
He leaped, he bounded, he fairly
flew, he was there!
When both runners were but one
yard from the goal posts the pursuer
hurled himself forward, clutched the
runner viciously about the knees, and
both crashed heavily to the ground.
Too late, however, for they had fallen
over the goal line.
The runner picked himself up, aching
In every limb, turned proudly toward
the stands to receive the plaudits of
tho spectators—and looked Into the
snarling face of a furious teammate.
His own teammate had tackled him,
for the runner had run in tho wrong
direction and had scored two points for
the other side!—New York World.
Then It Got Cool.
At a dinner In Dublin there were two
sisters present. One had Just emerged
from her widow's weeds, and the other
was not long married, but her husband
was in India. A young barrister who
was present was chosen to take the
young widow to dinner. Unfortunately
"he was under the impression that his
partner was the lady whose husband
was in India. The conversation com
menced by the lady observing how hot
It was. "Yes, it Is very hot" replied
the barrister, "but not so hot as where
your husband Is."
Circumstances Alter Cases.
Pat Casskly purchased n new auto
mobile, and while still Inexperienced
In the handling of it ho drove down one
of the crowded thoroughfares of the
city. Coming to a crossing where traf
fic was held up he lost control of the
car and ran squarely Into a handsome
limousine. The crowd which gathered
found the situation amusing, and to
add to Pat's discomfiture the crossing
policeman, a big Irishman, commenced
to berate him.
"Since when did you learn to drolve
a car?" demanded the officer. "What's
yer name?"
"Cassldy," answered Pat
"So?" said the policeman Interestedly.
"And where are you from?"
"County Clare," said Pat
"Say," said the cop, "how the dlvvll
Aid that fellow back Into you?"—Phlla
felphia Ledger.
Wanted to Be Truthful.
On one occasion nail Calne met a
fellow writer who had to confess that
he had never read any of his books. It
was during one of Mr. Calne's visits to
the United States, when nt a banquet
given in his honor Thomas Nelson Page
had been asked to Introduce the guest
of the evening. Just before the toasts
began one of the diners passed his
menu card round the table, with tho
request that Mr. Calne would sign his
autograph upon It as a memento of the
occasion.
"Good Idea," said Nelson Page. "I'll
send my card along also. I've got to
Introduce Hall Calne in a few minutes,
and I want to be able to say that I
have read something be has written."

MRS. BLACK HONORED
"Echoes," the. official magazlno o

iiiack as having been elected a life

tilt Imperial Order of the Daugh

LID OF THE ORIGINAL
JUG IS LOCATED
•Murdock ilclvqr y«uterday trough
to the News office a strange disc
shaped stone two and a half inch
es in diameter, which was found by
Jack Thompson of Dawson some
time ago on the land lying between
the Stewart and the Pelly. Th§
disc has a raised portion in the
center, also defined by a perfectly
symmetrical circle, and the whole
is dark &ra-y, looking like a piece
of adobe pottery, too crude for
fiLishtd work of an^ of the potters
whose product is on the markets.
-\lclver says it no doubt was droppo
off the Ark when Noah was sailing
over the Klondike to his last an
*;horgae-place between Dawson and
the Arctic, where the Ark landed
and was allowed to rest in quiet
until discoervd there in 1903 by
"Casey" Aloran.
Nothing of the kind In the way
of potterjr has been seen here be
fore by any of the big tillicuma of
'the land. A number of the D&w
.sonites are anxious to know w^t
was carried in the jug. It Is ar
gued by some that the lid of the
jug is mute evidence that drys did
not have things altogether their
way in the days of the flood. No
one on the News staff is keen
enough on the scent to tell what
was the brand of the content of
the jug which this lid covered, so
the relic will be sent to Stroller
White for expert evidence, other
connoisseurs wishing to match their
ski" against the Stroller's may see
the specimen at the News office.—

GEORGK FITCH ON FACTS
AND FICTION OF RAILWAY'S
Trains are used, to transport
freight and passengers, mentioned
iu the order of their importance,
from hither to yon. At this par
ticular minute let us consider pas
senger train*.
A passenger train consists of
un engine, a baggage car, a con
ductor, a peanut salesman, a brake
man with throat trouble and sever
al passenger coaches. It Is Op
erated on what is known as a
schedule, which is America's most
popular work of fiction. The sched
ule shows the time at which, the
prospective passenger should arrive
at the station In order to get a
good seat near the stove is. the
waiting room.
Passenger trains are divided Into
three classes—limited, local and
accommodation trains. Limited
Zerlth Oil Is particularly adapted
for usb in lubricating the fine
paTta of all delicate mechanisms.

trains are rerj fast and oaljr ttop
Bton for crossings, semaphore, side
tracks, cows on the track, hat
boxes, orders and coal. They are
very luxurious, and are supposed to
get you to your destination on time,
for which you pay from So to |10
extra. This explains the "limited"
part. You have to ante before you
get ou, and there is a $10 limit
Local trains stop at all stations
and elsewhere, and are very care
less, losing ten minutes here and
thirty minutes there with the ut
mos* unconcern, like a messenger
boy. Toey are patronized by the
plain people, and are. afflicted with
prehistoric coaches and newsboys
who prey on the passengers and
sell thtjn peanuts, figs and Elinor
Glynn's latest works in a hoarse
whisper c.1 the end of the car. Lo^
cal trains run from "Aoughwoy to
Setreech," according to the brake
man, and the next Btatlon is **Ar
glouuuuu," If a man, is stubborn
about it he can roach almost any
town in the country on a local
train. A man once traveled from
New York to San Francisco on a
local train, hut it took so much
time that he had to walk back.
Accommodation trains are com
post d o? freight cars and a ca
boose, la which passengers ride on
t\« floor and the ceiling alternate
ly. Accommodation trains are so
named because they frequently wait
on a slag track while a farmer's
hogs get fat enough for him to ship
with orofit Waiting for an ac
commoadtJOA train and waiting for
a now comet are two operations re
quiring more misguided patience
than anything else on record.
Passenger trains transport their
patrons to terrestrial points for
from two to three cents a mile,
and to the Great Beyond occasion
ally without extra charge. In the
middle west the rats is two cents a
mile, but in the scarcely settled
east the povert-stricken lines man
ago to get three cents a mile in
most Instances.
