TACKLES MUST BEAR BRUN'
Survey of Football Rules Leads to Be
lief Game Will Be Close Cousin
to That of 1J09.
Walter Camp's latest variety of fool
ball rules has beeu accused of be in,
everything from a return to the oh
eat 'em alive mass play rules to beini
a slight modification, which will hav<
little effect on the style of play. Act
ually. a survey of the new footbal
laws leads to the belief that the ganv
that will develop under them will be ;
close cousin to that played in 1909, ai
invitation to the tackles to stand u]
and be killed, l-ast year's rule
favored the defense to such an exten
that scoring was almost impossible
and fluky in the extreme It appear
that in their effort to strengthen thi
offense, the rulemakers have gone t<
the other boundary and that scorinj
this year is likely to be enormous.
The mass play died when pullin'

was abolished. Rut the tackle now
will have to stand the shock of hi:
opponent forward, and then of a-heavy
man bent on making two or three
yards. He will not. in all probability
get much help from the secondary de
fense. To weaken the defensive back
line unduly will be simply an invita
tion to the offense to work the now
unrestricted forward pass to it:
heart's content.
The situation will be much the same
as Yost faced when Notre Dame beai
Michigan and which, later in the same
year, he compelled Pennsylvania te
meet. The threat of the forward pas:
was always there, but the play itsei1
was no great factor in the scoring
lustead. the first defense was simply
battered down by "straight football.'
while the backs waited helplessly foi
the forward pass that didn't come.

Bat Made of Concrete.
Some genius is trying to put a con
crele bat on the market. He claim:
that it is no heavier than a hardwood
bat. and drives the ball much farther
According to the laws of the game
the hat must be made of wood, so thal
the statutes would have to be al
tered before the stone stick could bf
utilized. The game, right now, doesn’l
need a bat that will drive the ball any
farther, but more batsmen who car
drive the ball with the bats in current
use if they ever get bats that will
hit 'em farther, the games- at Roston
Chicago and New York National
League parks will be nothing but pa
rades of home runs.
Burkett Still Can Hit.
Jesse Rurkett. who is managing th«
Worcester team of the New England
league, can still show many of the coll
players how to perform in the na
tional pastime. He has a batiing aver
age of .399 for 16 games and has field
■d 1.0<H). accepting 17 chances without
an error. Rurkett. a score of years
ago. was one of the leading batsmen
of the country. In 1S92 he hit .372
and in the succeeding 11 seasons he
continued to hit .300. In three o!
these years he registered over .400.
Two Champions to Quit.
The retirement from track athletics
of two well-known champions is an

Both will engage in business in for

' when the corridors of the

one of the restaurants was

I bought she might return, so I kept

*n came up to the same piace and ask

somebody had stolen After a search
he clerk produced the hoa and she
went out of the hotel.
Fifteen minutes afterward a taxi
cab driver entered and turned in at
the office a feather boa which he said
t fare front the hotel had left in the
cab. To the clerk it looked familiar.
He examined it carefully. It was the
same boa that had been claimed only
4 quarter of an hour before.
Only a few minutes had passed when
t third woman rushed up She asked
the clerk to please to tell the hotel
detectives or the police or the newspa
pers. or somebody, to find a valuable
fur muff which had been stolen from
her. She was positive she had left
t in her room The clerk listened at
tentively to her description. Then
he ducked under the counter and sol
emnly handed her the muff
"'Why. where did you get this?” she
demanded.
"It was picked up in the corridor,
madam.” was the reply.
She signed her name to the receipt
book and then we it away in the same
haste she had come When the clerk
looked up from the book he found
she had left her pocket book on the
counter.
The rewards giv»n by women, and
men. too. to tnose wno have return
ad lost property are sometimes as
tonishingly small Two women who
were occupying an apartment in an
exclusive hotel went away to spend
the Christmas holidays One got back
the day before the other. When she
entered the bedroom she was amazed
to see lying on the dressing table a
diamond bar pin belonging to her
friend. It contained la jewels, and
was worth several thousand dollars.
She was going away from town that
same day and simply enclosed the pin,
together with a note, in an envelope.
>nd left the latter on the dressing ta
ble.
The ne.xt morning the other woman
; j showed up. The day after that she
. sent a hurry call downstairs for the
manager.
"Oh this is tragic!" she exclaimed
when the latter entered her room. “My
diamond bar pin is gone. It was stolen.
1 am sure, and you must have the
chambermaid arrested.
The manager looked at her. She
answered his questions impatiently,
but they drew from her the informa
tion that when she entered her bed
room the day before she had found a
note on the dressing table from her
friend, but she was in such a hurry to
dress for dinner that she had thrown
it aside; and yes. she admitted after
some hesitation, it was iwssible It
might have fallen over into the waste
basket that stood near.
The chambermaid had straightened
. up the apartment that morning, and
! under ordinary circumstances the con
tents of the waste basket would by
this time have been on their way to
'he city incinerating plant. But it
happened to be New Years day, and

and stood by while the two took out
the refuse, piece oy piece, from the
bin. After a solid hour's work, the
porter found an envelope, from which
be took the missing pin. The owner
of it gave him one dollar.
Somewhat similar was the case of
another woman at a different hotel,
who on the night before she v»5 due
to sail for Europe came down to the
desk in great excitement. Her valu
able pearl necklace was gone. She
had wrapped it. she said, during the
rooming in tissue paper, preparatory
to packing it. and must have left it
on the bureau
To the manager the idea of the tis
sue paper suggested the waste bas
ket. The contents of the waste has
been taken to the cellar and had
been compressed with other refuse
into a 250 pound bale. There was
but one thing to do. and that was to
examine this bale. The manager and
the steward set themselves at the
task. Piece by piece the paper was
removed, but at the end of almost
three hours not a sign of the neck
lace had appeared.
The day after the departure of the
steamer the manager received a letter
from the voyager, sent ashore by the
pilot.
"I am so sorry to have given you
so much trouble." it read. "1 have
found the necklace in my trunk."
A woman from Washington, who al
ways travels with a lot of diamonds,
arrived one night at a New York ho
tel unaccompanied by the maid, who
usually traveled with her About half
past nine o'clock the next morning
she came downstairs breathless.
"1 want those doors locked and no
body permitted to leavh this budd
ing." she cried. "Mv chamois *v»g. >n
w hich ! carry all my jewels, is g.cv.e.
and I want all the help searched.
When I went to bed last night I la!d
the bag under a piece of crumpled
newspaper in a corner of this shelf
in the closet."
Are you sure that after all you
did not put it in your trunk*" sug
gested the manager.
The woman was indignant at the
idea, and demanded that police head
quarters be communicated with in
stantly. When the central office de
tective reached the hotel the mana
ger called him aside, explaining the
situation, and advised him to insist
upon the woman opening the trunk.
Ten minutes later the sleuth came
downstairs grinning.
"The bag was where you said it
was. ad right." he said to the man
ager.
An engagement ring figured in a
theft charge at a Fifth avenue hotel.
A young woman who had been out
shopping entered the hotel breath
lessly one morning and hurried to her
room. In a very short time she was
downstairs again, with a demand upon
the manager that he have the cham
bermaid arrested She said that her
engagement ring, which had cost
$600 had been stolen from her room
and as the chamber maid was the only
person who had access to the room,
she simply knew the woman had it.
She was so positive in her state
ment that the manager immediately
telephoned to the nearest police sta
tion for a plain clothes man. The
chambermaid had been in the hotel
many years, and was well thought of.
A few questions convinced the detec
tive of her innocence. Then he put
some questions to the woman who had
lost the ring.
i i>he was indignant, but finally re
membered that she had put the ring,
together with four others, into her
pocketbook that morning before
breakfast. The purse she had left
. on her dressing table when she went
downstairs to breakfast. That must
have been the chance the chatuber
maid took, for when later in the morti
j i[ig she opened her purse in a de
partment store to pay for some pur
chases the engagement ring was miss
ing. She insisted that the detective
arrest the chambermaid.
The sleuth refused, and decided to
| make a thorough examination of the i
i room, in spite of the young lady's pro- ‘
tests. At one end of the dressing ta
ble. on the fioor. stood a pair of high ,
shoes The detective picked one up. I
and turned it upside down. Out roll
J ed the missing solitaire ring. Appar
ently when its owner had swept the 1
five rings together to put them into
. her purse, the solitaire had rolled off
1 the table.
Th*y looked for to express at
| least .some gratification over the re
jcovery of the trinket; but no. she was
so enraged over her mistake that she
made no amends to the chambermaid
she had accused and did not even
thank the detective.
Somewhat similar in its outcome
was the experience of a woman front
Washington. She arrived at a hotel
in a fashionable district one night
about nine o'clock, and her first or
der was for a pitcher of ice water. A !
bellboy took it up and placed it on a
table in he rsitting room.
The 'next morning she called up the
manager in a condition bordering
on hysteria, and informed him 1
that a big marquise ring containing
32 diamonds was missing. The only
person who had been in the room be
sides herself was a bellboy, and she
remembered that before the bellboy
entered her sitting room she had
taken off her ring and placed it on the
table while she was washing her
hands.
The bellboy bore a good record. Aft
er a search of the room he was put
through the third degree. He con
vinced the manager of his innocence.
The next day. just as she was about
! to leave the hotel, he woman came in
j to the manager.

American Fruit Consumpton.
Statistice for 1909 show that the
apple crop of the United States was
! worth $*3,000.On. peaches $28,000,000,
grapes $22,OoO.OOO. and strawberries
i 170.000. oranges reaching the same
Urge figures. The people of the Uni
ted States consumed $10,000,000 of
plums and prunes, $7,000,000 of pears
and cherries and $5,000,000 of the rasp
berry. —.
One of the curious features of this
producUon of fruit has been the less
ening of the apple crop, which in the
past decade, with a growing pupula
tion. has decreased from 175,000,000 tc
' 150,000,000 barrels. On the other hand,
the production of tropical fruits in
; continental United States has about
trebled In the same time, and ten
times as many pineapples are grown

Gen. Booth Died a Poor Man.
General William Booth, who mad*

ization that it is, died poor. His per
senal estate amounted to only $2.44c
aside from a fund of $26,475 whict
was setUed on him for his privatt
use. General Booth never drew ot
the army funds for his support or ex
penses.
Special Marks for Lightning
Nowhere else do the electrical dis

intense and terrifying a character as
on the summits of high mountains
i.ast August the laboratory of the So
ciety of Observatories, built on the
summit of Mont Blanc, was struck by
lightning, with fatal results to ot?e of
its occupants. This building is of wood,
roofed with sheets of copper, and is
not provided with lightning rods It
1 was practically buried in snow at the
i time of the disaster. The famous
Janssen observatory on Mont Blanc
was repeatedly struck, although it
bore numerous lightning rods, connect
ed by cables to some rocks a few hun
dred feet distant. This building was
of wood and was built on the snow.
The effects of the lightning were ex
traordinary and appalling; the metal
. tableware was frequently melted or
! perforated; the bolts and nuta ir. th*
walls were melted; the woodwcrt
charred; the metal cap of the largt
telescope was pierced with holes

rain started from Minneapolis there
were ten hives of bees consigned to
Rev. Francis Jaeger at St. Bonifacius,

Crystal Bay three of th“ hives were

THREE YEARS
SXPER'ENCES OF A BRITISH IM
MIGRANT IN CANADA-WEST.
The following straightforward state
ment needs no comment to add to
its force and effect. It appears in a
recent issue of the Liverpool Mer
cury.
H. Patterson, of Xutana, Saskatche
wan, Canada, when he arrived from
Liverpool, had "Six of us to support."
to use hik own phraseology, and his
funds were getting low. He secured
a homestead 32 miles out from Sun
durn, and started living on it April
15, 1907. The previous fall he put ail
his money. $137, into a shack and lot,
making sure of a home. As cook and
caterer in a local hotel he made $75
a month, and out of this had some
savings out of which he paid his
breaking and improvements on the
homestead. The shack was sold to
good advantage. Then Mr. Patterson
tells the story after he had removed
his family to the homestead:
“For the first month life was so
strange and new that I hadn'*; to
think of anything, only fixing up our
new home. 1 was so ‘green' to farm
life that I didn't know the difference
between wheat and oats (I do now)!
Between working out. cropping my
place, and with my gun, we managed
to live comfortably for the three
years, which time was required to put
in my duties. I had accumulated
quite a stock of horses, cows, pigs,
fowls, and machinery in the three
years.
“In October, 1909. I secured my pat
ent to my land, so took a few days’
holidays to Saskatoon to locate a
purchased homestead (viz.. 12s. per
acre) from the Government. Instead
of getting the purchased homestead,
I secured a half section (320 acres I
on the Saskatchewan River for $25
per acre on easy terms, nine years'
payments with a cash payment of
$1,000. I mortgaged my first home
stead. obtained chattel mortgages on
my stock, and on December 24th,
1909. tooK possession: on June 10,
1910, I sold out again for $40 per acre,
clearing, besides my crop (140 acres!,
$4.S00. I also sold my first home
stead, clearing $1,800 and two Saska
toon town lots, which we value at
$1,000 each today. We placed all our
capital in another farm (river front
age i and some trackage lots (601, also
a purchased homestead (river front
age!. I remained as Manager of the
Farm I had sold on a three years’
contract at a fine salary and house,
garden, and numerous privileges.
"So by the time my three years have
expired, with my investments and the
increased value of my frontage and
lots, I am hoping to have a clear
profit on my $137 investment of
$50,000. My land doesn't eat any
thing, and it is nearly all paid for. I
