The Glory of Centers-Ill a great
room In one of Harvard's magnificent
l?ui!Ui"ngs are scores of footballs, tro
I !
| phies of gridiron victories for a generation,
bearing the scores of many notable
triumphs. The pigskin in each j
case was that actually used in the
game. ?
But now there is a gap in the trophies.
"Mr. Mc'Millin, here's your ball," said
Referee "Tiny" Maxwell, the huge
Swarthmore alumnus and sporting editor
of the Philadelphia Public Ledger,:
ut the close of the Centre-Harvard
game Saturday, and so the football in j
that game will have chief place among;
the spoi's of gridiron warfare in, flie
little Kentucky college.
For the hist time in his ions and illustrious
history,-John Harvard's elev- J
en has l>een beaten by a team from the l
South in the most memorable* inter- j
sectional contest in the annals of foot-1
ball. Far the first time In three years
Harvard bows to defeat?and at that,
to a little Southern college with a student
body considerably less than that!
of Furman university. Centre's Enrollment
last year was 209, while Harvard's
was 4,891.
WANT WILD HORSES KILLED.
Exciting^ "Sport" for Those Who Are
* Inclined to It.
Youths who like adventure and heaps !
of excitement are advised to try hunt- j
ing wild horses in the Okanoga hills!
near the Canadian border of Washing-1
ton. There are several thousand of
unUimable cayuses in this unsuryeyed i
region of steep hills and deep valleys,'
against which settlers on agricultural
lands have begun a war of extermlna- j
tion.
The wild steeds are troublesome, demolishing
fences to eht and trample 1
haystacks. The stallions entice away
domesticated mares, and often large
hoids i,i horses ehfi.se cows and sheep
to #cath. Once 'domesticated horses
arc mingled with these wild ones they
ifuickly become outlaws.
Refore the present plan of shooting i
was adopted l?y ranchers, they tried'
corraling and shipping the captured.1
steeds to Eastern horse markets. The.
expense and danger of catching alive '
was found above possible profits. These! :
wild broncos ate vicious and often,
rather tliun submit to capture, dasii J '
their brains out by running pell-mell I
into rocky ledges.
One expedition during a month of j '
wild horse stalking shot 120 animals. |
Only the skips were t....en. Some of I *
the wild stallions proved to be excel-i|
lent*specimens, one brown and sorrel I
estimated at 1,200 pounds weight.
mares seldom average more than xun
pounds.
Where these horses range is a faulty,
bad-land region between the Cascade
and Rocky mountains; a natural gratis
country, arid in summer, but the winters
are inild, with light snowfall.

WOMAN CONVICTED
Inhuman Mother Leaves Babies to
' Die.
Mrs. Ellis Hall of Fountain Inn was
Wednesday afternoon convicted by a
jury ii. the Court of General Sessions
for Oconee county at/Walhalla, on
the charge of assault and battery with
intent to kill, having been arrested on
October 2 when twin babies of about
six mcnuis 01 age were iuuuu ?...
abandoned well about 1? miles north of
Wnlhnlla. Tier husband was acquitted
of a similar charge. ,
The case did not ronsumate the entire
day and Ihe ju > was cmt hut a short
time in reaching tlielr verdict. The
hefendnnt Was represented b> the firm
of Hughes and Wntkins while Solicitor
;H a his took the part* qf the state.
The two t ifajitd;were found by Silas
Ridley,' a farmer in this section, in a
well cm his farm after erics had been
heard. After, soma investigation he.
assisted by neighbors, found the abandoned
babies and rescued them, his
wife taking them into the? home. Early
that motning rural policemen arrested
Mr. .and Mrs. Hall near High
Kails'. After being lodged in the
Oconee county jail. .Mrs. Hall admitted
having abandoned the children
at.d claimed that her husband had
taken part in the disposal.
One of the children died last Sunday
from the exposure suffered while
staying in the clamp well, doctors
stated, although the other has survived.
Too Much Advice.?Too much advice
is worse than none.
La Fontaine, whose fables fop children
are among the great literary masterpieces,
tells the story of a merchant
Jtlio was taking an ass to market to
sell.
Having in mind thpt he would save
I ho animal's strength and thus improve
the prospects for getting .a high price,
he tied the legs together strung the
beast over a pole, and carried it with
tiie help of his young sou.
"What fpols they are, carrying the
lonkey when it should carry them,"
id the first passerby.
The merchant then unstrung the ass
ind told his son to ride on its back.
'"Shame on that boy, riding the donkey's
back and looting iiis old father
ivalk," said the next.
The merchant then fjot on, too.

"It's a sin to overload that poor
! beast." was the comment, a half mile
along the road.
The merchant suggested the boy
walk. .
"That heartless father should be ar- ,
rested for forcing his little boy to
trudge in the dust while he rides at i
ease," remarked a pedestrian.
So the merchant got off himself and
ion ine aonKey.
"Look at those poor fools whb walk

ed out an old woman.

.The Origin of Woman.?According:
| If) an ancient Hindoo legend, this is!
the origin of woman: |
Twashtrib, the god Vulcan of the j
Hindoo mythology, oreated the world,,
i but, on commencing to create woman,
he found that for man he had ex- j
hauster] all his creative material and
that not one solid element had been
left.. This srt.perplexed him that he ^
fell into profound meditation. When
I he arose from it, he proceeded as folj
lows. IJe took:
j The roundness of the moon,
The undulating curve of the serpent, j
! The graceful twist of the creeping
j plant,
. The light shivering of the grass blade ;
and the slenderness of the willow,
| .The velvety softness of the flo>vers,
' The lightness of the feather,
j The gentle gaze of the doe,
, The frolicgomeness of the dancing sunbeam.
The tears of the .cloud,
The inconstancy of the wind,
The timidity of the hare,
Tim to.i nlf t? /if tha tuifl Pf^plf *
j The hardness of the diamond,
Tlie cruelty of the tiger,
The heat of the fire,
The chill of the snow,
The cackling, of the parrot,
The cooing of the turtle-dove.
All these he mingled und formed woman/
Aral he presented her. tQ" man.
? Statesman:?One who has an ap- I
petite for more land and run think up
I some "great principle" to -'serve as an
J entree.
