-That -is the grim, ghastly tale of~
the gridiron covering a period of six
ty-seven -days.
Thes "open game," hailed to be
without brutality b$ college enthu
siasts, .wrought fearful havoc. Twelve
of the dead were schoolboys under
twenty yea's old. Six- college men,
properly trained for the bruising en
counters, were sacrificed, while only
one member of an athletic club or
semi-orofessional team was placed on
the altar.

University of Virginia,
the unntea States Military Academy
at West Poin't and St. Mary's College,
in Kansas, were among those which
suspended the playing of the game.
A meeting of the Board of High
School Principals in Washington, D.
C., resulted in the casting out of all
the games scheduled for this season,
and the game will not: be resumed
next year unless the rules are changed
radically.
The Faculty of Loyola University,
at Baltimore, also canceled all the
games for the remainder of the year,
and tle Scho6l -Board at Bellefon
taine, Ohio, decided to rule out all
contests following the death of one
pIayer there.
The'State of Virginia will probably
be the one which will give the heav
iest blow to football. Following the
death of one of the State University
players' and the injury of several of
her youths within the State, a bill
wiHl be introduced into the Legislat
ure at the next session to forbid all
such contests in the future. It is ex
pected that this bill will be passed.
Already the City Council of Norfolk
and Portsmouth have forbidden all
contests within the city limits.
The death which attracted the most
attention throughout the country, and
which revived to a large extent the
movement for' the suppression of
football, was that o~f Cadet Byrne,
a West Point cadet. Byrne was an
upper classman, twenty-two years
old, when he was fatally injured dur
ing the contest with Harvard Univer
sity. His neck was broken during a
mass play, and despite the fact .that
every attempt was made to save his
life, he died soon after.
The interest in this accident was so
great that expressidas of opinion were
asked from the heads of nearly every
institution of learning in the country.
Some of them saw in it proof that/the
game should be abolished, while oth
ers urged changes in the rules. Some,
however, looked upon it as an unfor
tunate .accident and declared that the
game as it is now played could not
be made less dangerous without tak
ing away the exciting features.
The deaths in football to date have
resulted in more agitation against
football this fall than at any time
since the present playing rules were
adopted. The representative- 'varsity
coaches of the country realize that
something must be done, some new
rules adopted, by which- the risk of
death or injury must be greatly re
duced. The winter session of the
Football Rules Committee in New
York this year is sure to be of unu
sual. length, and will result in some
rather wholesale and radical changes
following a discussion in which the
sponsors' for football in every section
of the country are pretty sure to pair.

AN "ORGANIZED GOSSIP."
Disser ting View on Prof. Cooley's
'Analysis of a Newspaper.
Prof. Chares H. Cooley, in his re
cent 'tolume on ".Social Organiza
tion,'' has discovered- that the mod
ern newspaper is the " organized gos
sip" in th- actu. process of nervous
commr.riea:iun .n the new social
Leviathan. Admitting that the news
paper's ;..ssential function is a "bul
letin of important news -and a medium
for the interchange of ideas," he
adds:
The bulk of its matter, however, is
best described by the phrase organ
ized gossip. The sort of intercourse
that people formerly carried on ac
cross-road stores or over the back
fence has now attained the dignity
of print and 4n imposing system.
That the bulk of the contents of
a newspaper is of the nature of gcs
sip may be seen byr noting three
traits >which together seem to make
a fair definition of that word. It is
copious, designed to occupy, without
exerting, the mind. -It consists most
Iy of personalities and appeals to
superficial emotion. It is untrust
worthy-except upon a few matters of
moment, which the public is lkely to
follow up and verify. These traits
any one who is curious may substan
tiate by a study of his own morning
journal.
Allowing the difference in the ways
different readers might classify dif
ferent items, and also for variations
from the journalistic mean which the
pa-per in question represents, it would
seem that the bulk of the contents of
a newspaper is very incorrectly de
scribed by the term "organized gos
sip," at least if gossip is used in our
professor's disparaging sense. As to
the charge of lack of veracity, pro
fessional modesty imipels us to be re
ticent. But if the reader, In a quiet
hour, will recall the information he
acquires from other sources than the
daily papers upon matters of mo
ment, we doubt not that he will think
better of the hasty verdict which
brings the accuracy of the newspa
per under the condemnation of habit
ual untruth. And as for the last
characteristic of gossip, that "it is
copious, designed to occupy, without
exerting. "the mind," and thereby, as
-Prof. Cooley implies, seeming worse
"for yenturing to share with litera
ture the use of the 'printed word."
we venture in diffidence to suggest
that some very tolerable literature is
of the same character. Homer, or
Boswell's Johnson. we presume. is lit
erature, or even .Stevenson's "Virgini
bus Puerisque." but none of them, 'by
his leave, exerts .the mind to any un
comfortable degree.-New York Even.

Loads of Harvest Hands.
A procession of ten 'passenger
trains, each of them from eighteen
to twenty coaches in length, pulled
out from the vicinity of Montreal and
Toronto last Thursday and filed at
top speed around .the great curve of
Lake Superior on the C. P. R., head
ed for the West. Laden 'with a cos
1mopolitan mixture of 6.000 harvest
hands, tihey arrived in Winnipeg be
rween Saturday at noon and Sunday,
at noon.
People in 'the vicinity of the depot
knew that they arrived, that is, those
who have not 'been deaf since in
fancy, for the advent of every un
shaven and begrimed 'battalion was
announced by a 'wild cheer that eman
eted from th~e first coaches and
spread into a deafening roar as the
train pulled into the train shed and
the following coaches took up the cry
of -pent up relief and gladness. 'It
was more like the arrival of a crowd
of holiday spirits given a respite from
work for a day than one expectant of
many a hard day's work in the har

The wife says: "We found that was

gladly paid a hundred times the
amount of the doctor's charge when
we found how wise his judgment was.
"The use of Postum instead of cof

Sure enough it did taste very flat, but
the next morning I followed direc

"We use Postum regularly and

Keeps Grapes Fresh.
A great firm of wine growers at
Saint Benezat, France, has devised a
simple method of keeping grapes per
fectly fresh for several months. To
keep grapes fresh they must not be
allowed to dry, while, on the other
hand, they lose all their good quali
ties if they are immersed in water.
Therefore, they must receive moisture
just as they receive it while still on
the vine-through their stalks. The
grapes must not touch anything and
they must be handled as little as pos
sible.
~The device, which has just been
put into use in France, is well illus
rated in the accompanying picture,
from the New York World. In cut
int the grapes an inch or .two of stalk
s left on each side of the twig that
ears the bunch, and to each end of
he stalk is fitted a bulb of rubber or
lass containing sterilized water. The
whole is then hung up where the
rapes may swing free. The water in
he bulbs is sucked up by the stalks
and supplies the fruit with the where
withal :o keep fresh. This water can
e renewed -as often as necessary
ithout touching the grapes. and any
rape that withers can be slipped off

A Monkey Eating Eagle.
The first specimen ever caught alive
of the monkey eating eagle of the
Philippines was recently acquired by
the Zoological Gardens in London.
Its body is a dark brown and the
breast feathers are of a dirty, cream
color. A monkey diet being out of
the question in England, it is being
fed on chickens, whence, presumably,
its worried look.-The Graphic.
In American secondary schools in
the year 1900 there were 925,000
pupils-742,000 at .the public high
schools and only 183,000 at private
schools of all kinds.

"My mother died six years ago," writes Miss Ruth
Ward, of Jerseyville, Ill., "and left me to care for six
children. I had never been strong; and this, with the shock
of her death, was too much for me.
"I failed in health. I was tired all the time and did
not want to go anywhere, nor care for company. I had
the headache all the time and such bearing-down pains.
"A very dear friend advised me to take Cardui, as it
