tain A A Stagg

University of Chica
go eleven Captain
Stagg has become
an ardent believer
in the value of a
vegetarian diet and
the prevalence of
vegetarian ideas among members of
the eleven has started the suggestion
that the game the team will play will
be vegetable football The captain of
the eleven Do Tray mid the assistant
coach Bezdek have tried the meatless
plan and like It and while such a diet
is not to be enforced In the place of
the traditional rare roast beef it is be
lieved that the members of the eleven
will adopt it quite generally Coach
Stagg has cured himself of rheumatism
by his abstention from meat and he
thinks the vegetarian diet conducive
to the best physical condition Ho
says
T have eaten very little meat for
several years and practically none for
two years To work properly a mans
food should be one tenth proteids four
tenths fats and the rest carbohydrates
The athletes might have to take a
course in domestic science but they
could get on to it without much trou
ble

way through preparatory schools and
through Yale university He won fame

I am against this addition I am
sure it would be worthless In fact
it would be as worthless as the drunk
en mans request
There was you know a drunken
man who threw himself one chilly au
tumn night under a cart to sleep off
his debauch
A watchman approached prodded
the drunkard with his stick and said
What are you doing under that
cart there you poor fellow
Just sleeping was the calm reply

The other shivered
I do -feel rather chilly he said

a nprnilsir controversy has arisen
over the placing on the new ten dollar
gold pieces which are being coined at
the United States mint of the face of
Miss Mary Cunningham Miss Cun
ningham happens to have been born
in Ireland just sixteen years ago Re
cently she came to
the land of the
free In search of a
livelihood and aft
er working for a
time in Boston ob
tained a place as
waitress in a little
restaurant at Cor
nish Yt It was
there that the late
-Augustus St Gau
dens the great
sculptor saw her
and instantly pick
ed her out for the face he had been
commissioned to provide for the United
States government
With true artistic Indifference to geo
graphical boundaries St Gaudens nev
er stopped to inquire where Miss Mary
was born but delighted at having dis
covered a profile that exactly ruinnea
his ideal of beauty closed a bargain
then and there with the waitress for
the use of her classic features in the
design for the coins It is said that
2-
she objected to Bitting ns a model but
was willing to serve In the sculptors
household as a waitress and so as
bo brought in his soup and roast tho
eminent artist made mental notes of
her patrician expression and Greek pro
file The design for tho coins was pre
pared by Mr St Gaudens at the ro
quest of the president When it was
noised abroad that Miss Cunninghams
features had been copied the matter
came to the attention of the Pennsyl
vania state council of the Independent
Order of Americans and tho members
resolved without disrespect to Miss
Cunningham or her race that it was
unpatriotic to stamp the money of
the United States with the features of
a foreign born girl no matter how
beautiful and that it ought to bo pos
sible to And an American born young
woman whoso profile would suit the
requirements The protest of the or
der has been duly called to the atten
tion of Secretary Cortelyou of the
treasury department

the Inquiry into traction matters con
ducted by the public service commis
sion It was only a few weeks ago
that his father Professor Oren Root
a brother of the secretary of state
Elihu Root died at Clinton N Y
where he had been
OltEN ROOT
for more than a
generation a much
esteemed and re
vered instructor of
youth Young Root
was born about
thirty three years
ago in Columbia
Mo his father
having been at that
time professor of
mathematics in the
University of Mis
souri The Root
family have been
Hamilton gradu
ates for generations and young Oren
went to that institution in due time
graduating with honors in the class of
1894 He had not been out of college
but a few months when he was intro
duced by his uncle the present secre
tary of state to President Yreeland of
the Metropolitan company He told
Mr Yreeland he would like to enter his
employ and the latter said he could
give him either a nice clean polite job
with easy hours or one In which he
might have to soil his hands but would
get a chance to learn the business
Id like the dusty job If youll give
it to me said young Root
All right Report to Mr at the
Sixth avenue car barns tomorrow
morning at 7 oclock was all Mr
Yreeland said And the next morning
Oren Root Jr then twenty years old
began to learn the business of street
railroading
The president of the road hadnt
painted the picture any worse than it
was The young college graduate was
sent out next morning with a construc
tion gang He shoveled dirt dug up
cobblestones helped to lay rails and
finally became timekeeper A little
later he was sent to one of the power
houses and worked there long enough
to get an idea of what there was to a
power plant how it was set up and
how the electricity got from plant to
cars
Then he was sent to the car stables
to learn how to run an electric car and
after a time blossomed out as a motor
man At twenty nine he was general
manager of the biggest street railway

The successful merchant Invited his
parents to visit him in New York city
They came gJadly and on the following
Sabbath were escorted to a fashiona

tho hymns wero familiar In their ren
dition the visiting pair contributed
heavily with the credit for volume in
favor of the father Although not al
ways in correct time and sometimes In
discord yet the joy of this good couple
leaped forth In joyous praise and they
did not see the glowering looks of
nearby worshipers or the beetlike face
of their devoted son

that afternoon while his mother was
taking her accustomed nap in our

Muskrats-
Rare old Captain John Smith In his
quaint History of New England and
the Summer Isles published in Lon
don in 1624 gives probably the first
written account of the muskrat He
says that the mussacus is a beast of
the form and nature of our English
water rat and adds that some of
them smell exceedingly strong of
musk These animals may he caught
in almost any sort of trap baited
with sweet apples or parsnips MuBk
rats have very strong teeth and can
use them on wood effectively so It is
wise to protect all corners and cracks
in your wooden traps with pieces of
tin or sheet Iron They have good
noses and can smell an apple a long
distance off Place your traps in tho
shallow water at the edge of the mill
pond or stream inhabited by these rats
and they will doubtless find It without
difficulty Young muskrats are very
gentle and playful and may be handled
without fear They do not grow fierce
with age if reared in captivity and ac
customed to gentle treatment
Receiving Tommy
There is a certain Inspector of schools
who prides himself on his original
method of examining but occasionally
his originality receives a shock In a
fatherly manner he had gathered a
class of young children round him and
mouthed attention
soon had their open
tion
Now suppose that you and I were
playing a game of marbles he said
to little Tommy Jones You have
ten marbles and I have eight
The class gathered closer round
At the end of the game you have
won half of my marbles and of course
I want to play again to win them
back
The children pressed even nearer
At the end of the second game I
win half of those you now have Tell
me excitement waxed intense tell
me he continued how many mar
bles you are left with
With a look of inexpressible disgust
