TolleBon’s new store I n office from 1st to 26th of each month; When George Parker made his first appearance on the football field at Clevedon college, about two weeks aft er tho term began, he came unheralded and unknown. The football enthusiasts had been busy for days discussing the merits ami oualifications of tho various new men who had come up for thoffrst time that year and were trying for positions on the team. Good football material was scarce at Clevedon, aud the captain and tho coach wero at their wits’ end to construct a winning team with tho can didates who had thus far appeared. The very day that Parker made his initial appearance they had held a short council in the directors’ office at tho gymnasium before going on tho field for the afternoon practice, and tho outlook, as they viewed it at the time, was gloomy indeed. Candidates for positions behind the line were many, and some of them gave promise of developing into good players, but tho linemen, especially tho tackles, left much to bo desired at the close of their conversation. Shaw, tho coach, expressed himself very forcibly as to the qualifications of at least one of tho players: “I tell you, Arnold, wo must get some life into that line or the beat back* In the world won’t win fame* tar um. Now, there’■ Brice at left foekle. Be'* big and strong enough to stop a freight train, but he lays as thmwh hs were deed on his et If wu only bad sums mou to go In against him on tho sornb eleven and wnko him up aad give him a bit of a pcare, he might amount to something, bnt as H is he's about as lively as on Ico wagon. ’’ All this was too obvious to elicit anything more than a very gloomy ac quiescence from tho captain, and the two men tramped out through the gym nasium to the practice field, and here they found Parker for the first time among the crowd of youths passing and kicking tho bull. He was of medium height, rather light but firmly built, resembling the other young men around him in general appearance, except for a rather unusual squareness of the jaw and levelness of gaze. He came to Clevedon from an obscure little academy iu a distant state, where bo had prepared for college. Tho cap tain of the scrub eleven had noticed him in chapel in the morning and afterwaid bad hunted him out, and, having learn ed by dint of hard questioning that he bad played football and at least knew tho rudiments of the game, had asked him to come out to tho field in the aft ernoon aud havo a try at the second eleven. The second or scrub eleven, be it known, is composed of tho candidates who are denied a place on the varsity aud who yet for tho sake of the sport ami in tho hope that one day promotion mav find them out are willing to work on without glory or reward unless they find them iu the hard practice game played daily with the varsity. From the ranks of the scrubs come the substi tutes for tho varsity, and a good player in the former may well dure hope to be chosen on the varsity the next year. It is, as one may see, a sort of apprentice ship or training school through which one must pass before he reaches the varsity It had been the bane of the scrub cap tain’s life hitherto that he had not been aylo to find a man in his miscellaneous lot who was able to play a hard enough gamo against Price, the varsity lett tackle, either to cause that gentleman any particular inconvenience or to satis fy tho demands of .Shaw. They had all made the mistake of “Lucking” straight into him, and being inferior iu weight and muscle to Price, who was a giant in size, if not in intellect, the result may bo imagined. Thus it happened that in sheer des peration Parker was chosen on this his first night out to go iu against Price, and, if possible, frighten him into im proving bis playing As the two men looked each othti over for a moment before the ball was put iu play Price thonght to himself, rather contemptuously, that ho would have no trouble with this stripling, hut after Parker had broken through two or three times cm plays around his end and downed the man with the ball he began to realize that he had a very un- asual sort of scrub to deal with, and that it would require something very different from bis ordinary style of practice game to keep this fellow occu pied. After he awoke to this fact Par ker's lot became rather harder, aud he was forced to content himself with an occasional tackle hi hind tho interfer ence when the runner was slow or tho, ball was poorly passed. Put the climax came just before the dose of the 15 minutes’ practice. The varsity had carried tho ball down the field directly in front of and about 20 yard* from the scrubs’ goal. Parker |iad become somewhat used to the var- ■ity play by this time, aud when he sawJhe fqjl back grop tack aud_th9 naif Lacks move out from and back of lb: ir n unlar i^tfili' i.- he knew that a goal from tho field was to be tiiod. litre was iiis I ,st chance to outwit the now fully awAikcued Price. Instead of moving out, as he might have been expected to do, in order toget u denier field and open the line, ho moved in close and made a feint as though intending to dive between tackle and guard, which was just tho sort of play it was the delight of Price’s heart to stop. He was practically immovable, aud woo to the unlucky mortal who at tempted “go through” him. Nothing, however, was further from Parker’s mind than tho attempting of such a feat. Instead, as tho ball was snapped, be wheeled out quickly, caught Price’s arm iu his own and, whirling upon him as on a pivot, threw that worthy flat oq his back and rushed at tho full back just in time to block a well direct ed try lor goal. The men on tho side Hues cheered lustily for tho plucky scrub tackle, and the conch gladdened his heart with a few words of commendation, while tho discomfited Price had a bad live minutes explaining to the captain how it all Vappcued After that Parker’s play was careful ly watched by both Shaw and Arnold, and Drico was warned that unless lie looked sharp and worked hard he might yet 1o«.q the position which he had be gun to look upon as peculiarly his own Under this stimulus he improved won derfully, aud the hopes of the rooters rose again as they saw the line grow stronger and faster day by day. The great game of tho season, for which all the fit hers were hut a prepara tion, was the one with Hanover college, and was to be played this year at Clove- don For three years the yellow aud blue of Hanover had waved triumphant, and their team was reported to bo iu belter condition than 3Vor. At last tho great day arrived and the morning train brought with it the Han over team aud a great crowd of students, already boasting of the victory that was sure to ho theirs Odds wero offered freely, but tho Clevedon boys, mindful ol the lessons of former defeats, wore slow to bet, and much Hanover money went begging. Tho day was an ideal one for football, crisp and cool, with that suspicion of frost iu the air that puts every player on b.o met t ie aud makes every nerve ting! with pure human joy of living. On such a day even a disordered liver loses us ascendency ever the mind, and the hiood races through tho veins iu an exhilarating flood. In spite nf the lateness of the season the clu>o clipped turf was green and soft as velvet, and tho fii Id, lined on cither side with bleach rs filled with agayly dressed, rib bon bedecked crowd, was an inspiring eight Every one in tho little town, without regard to age, sex or present condition of servitude, had turned out to witness what proved to bo a buttle royal Hanover, with thftir usual good for tune, won tho toss ;md chu** the ii'*tA g^al, with the wind at their bucks. Uiirrown, Uie Clevodoy full Lack, swung bis toe into the pigskin and so«t it j whirling well down into the enemy’s j country, with tho ends close after it, and the battle was on. Hanover sent | their backs around tho Clevedon cuds ; for a lew short gains, and then lost tho ball on a fumble. Ciovedcu held it for 1 a few plays and lost it, and so tho bat tle raged. Back and forth in the center of the field they' fought. Occasionally a long kick by the full back would drive tho hall down tho tide), and one goal | or tho other would bo temporarily en- | dangued, but soon the ball would bo j carried back to tho center, and tho i struggle would bo begun agqin. The ! teams were so evenly matched that nei- : tlier was able to gain more than a tem- i porary advantage over the other, and the first half closed without either hav- ; ing scored. j For the first five minutes of tho soc- 1 ond half it was the same story over ' again, but after one of Hanover’s fierce rn>hcs into the lino a figure was seen j stret' lied on tho ground and a thrill of • apprehension ran along the side lines, | “Who is it?” “Is ho Hanover or Clcve- , don:” “What subs have we:” were 1 some of the questions anxiously asked. | To the dismay of the Clevedon con tingent, it was discovered in a moment j that it was Brice, tho big left tackle, ! whose lame ankle iiad finally succumb- , ed to a soveru wrench. For him to con- tiuui longer : n the game was out of the que tion, but who was there to take his place? The only man who had prac* | tioed in that position was Barker, and when tho “rooters” saw him strip off his sweater and trot across the field obe dient to tho captain’s summons their j hearts sank within them. What chance would such n green stripling as he have ugaiiiat such a heavy, experienced play er as tho Hanover tackle? But tho cap tain remembered Barker's play against i Brice and held his peace. Tim first play demonstrated that, whatever elsu«he might be. Barker was no coward. Wiieuever there was a rush through bis side of tho lino lie was gen erally found nt tlie bottom of the heap when the muss of men untangled itself. But tho fierce, determined, bulldog j game that Hanover was playing was beginning to tell, and slowly tho ball was being carried nearer the coveted I Clevedon goal—50 yards. 45, 40, uu- 1 til the hall lay on tlie JiO yaid lino, and hero tho advance stopped. Three times ! tho lianovr-r hacks drove headlong into the Ghwedon line, only to be held and i thrown back again It was tho old guard at Waterloo I over again One more play and tho bull ! must go to CTevedou. But the goal was i straight ahead and only DO yards away, 1 and a well directed kick would put j Hanover five points to tlie good. The | full back dropped back aud every one ; fcimw what was coining. Every man Was crouching low iu the linn with Lis muscles D use aiid every sense alert Watching tho ball and the man opposite , him. Back went the ball to the full • back, and after it tho CTevedou quarter 1 back, dodging quickly through u hole i between center aud guard, hut just too late The ball barely cleared his finger tips as it sailed up into the air and straight between the goal posts. A clean kick, and the Hanover bleachers roared and waved their approval. Barker, iu the rash of the moment, was conscious of nothing but a mad de sire to tear his way through tho lino and reach the full back, but struggle as he would the man opposite him block ed him hard and low, and his effort wa#futile On tho Clevedon side of tlie field there was a gloomy silence that was almost tangible,. Only soycn mlu- uics to play aud the score b to 0 against them Burrows jjH the ball in pley again with a low, swift kick that sout it straight at one of U10 bi(' Hanover guards. Taken by ijurpriso,’ instead of holding it, ho let tho ball bound back from his bread chest straight toward Barker, who was rushing down tlie field. As the hall bounded toward him, remetiihering tho injunction of tho couch neve r tu try to kick up a ball un less ho had a clear field before him, ho throw himself full length at tho covet ed oval and gathered it. iu his arms. At tho same moment tho unlucky guard, rushing from the other direction to repair ins error, stumbled over the prostrate form and, whether it was in- teutiouul or accidental no one ever knew, struck poor Parker full in the faoa with tho too of his heavy shoe, cut ting a deep gash above his left eye. To tho Cleveduu supporters ou tho side lines it m med as though an evil fate was pursuing them. There was no one to take Barker’s place, and how could ho play wltli a deep cirt in his heat! aud tho blood s,learning down his face? But they failed to recognize tho spirit of tlie boy, and when tho coach tried to lead him from tho field he flatly refused to bo taken tre iy. “Let mo stay tho gamo out,” ho pi aded, and then as a shrewd afterthought ho added, “Who’ll you pot in my place anyway?” The force of this argue nt struck tho coach, and, pleased with tho boy’s grit, ho had no alternative hut to yield, aud back into his place went Barker, with his bloody face and u handkerchief bound round his head. If ho had played hard before, he play ed like a demon now, but the team was going down hill fast. The men had lost heart aud w ith ever increasing swiftness tho Hanover wedgo ground its way down the field until a final breathless tally stopped tho advance on the 20 yard line. One minute to play and the Hanover full back dropped back lor an other try for goal. Hero was a last des perate chance, and in spite of his ach ing, whirling head Barker remembered tho trick that had worked so well on Brice and shoved in close to his oppo- ueut. The fatter, mistaking the move ment, clos ! up tho gap, when, quick a* a Hash, as the ball was snapped, Barker sp. eg out, whipped his husky oj penent half around aud rushed at the full back j.’'o £1 tiger, with the speedy qu.uter b-•!; close at his heels. Tho kick was >viit and so re, hut Parker was quicker, aud as the ball rose lie sprang bipo iu tlie air and caught it full on hi utstrctched arms. As the bell hounded back Sheldon, tlie ijuarti back, snatched it up, aud was off 1 1 the Hanover goal, 80 yards away. Bemud him strained the Hanover half hacks in hot pursuit, but it was uo use. A stem chase is a long one, and Sheldon did not hold tlie varsity record for the 100 yards for nothing.

The fee system is more rigidly en- fpreed ou a big passenger steamship tbaju anywhere else. It is one of tho plaoes xvixen- Mrvantsdemand their fee* and tell yeu tho amount that tboy think you ought to give them. While the waltors at reatowants and hotels expect leas for tbftr services and will hint and may perhaps make it embarrassing for you if'thpy are not paid they Lave not gone 60 far as to tell yon that they want a fee and prescribe the amount. Even porters do ndt do that. They come around, brush your coat, and hat and run the whisk over your trousers, hut it is seldom that they ask you for any money, let alone a specified amount. On the passenger steamers tno stew ards regard their fees as a matter of right as much as Ihj steamship com pany regards your passage money. It is possible to avoid paying the fees, as they are not collectable by law, bnt the passenger who does not pay them will have trouble iu getting his luggage off the steamer, and it would be well for him to keep off steamers afterward where imy of the Servants of that boat are employed. Tlie stewards seem to havo some sort of fee guidebook or black listwf passen gers who do not give foes, so that they can make them suffer on future trips. Certain fees are regularly fixed and ex pected, irrespective of the cost of the stateroom or tlie stylo in which a man travels, while certain other fees depend on the style. For an nrdiuaiy passenger there are fees to ho given to tho state room steward, the saloon steward, tlie deck steward, the smoking room steward and the barber aud bath man. The fee to tho steward who looks after your stateroom is about 10 shil lings. The steward who waits ou you at tho table should receive the same fee. The deck steward, for bringing you an occasional driuk aud looking after your steamer chair and rugs, expects 5 shil lings, but be will take half a crown. The smoking room steward expects 5 ‘.hillings, and if you are iu the smoking room a groat part of tho trip he feels that he is entitled to as much us tho statement steward or your waiter. A bath every day on the passage can bo bad for a 5 shilling fee. These rates are fixed by long custom. The stewards can tell whether or not a man understands the rates aud if ho will pay at tiro end of tho trip. If they do not think that he will, they give him hints from time to time until they get some assurance on his part that he rcooguizes the obligation of the fee sys- tntq. If they think he will not pay, he wUl have a hard time of it. He will fed tUa» id* sfciteftxan Is not well nxida up* that he does not gst-oane whs* he Ls setMlok; that ho Is sarved kpt at U* table and doe* unt get tli« thing* that ho ordered; that fbe wrung drinks and cigars come to him in tho smoking room, and that his steamer chair is con stantly lost. The servants are as effec tive as seasickness in making u man’s trip miserable. These fees are not tw be paid until tho last day r.f the trip. Tho servants very speedily find out. at which place a jiasisouger is to get off. If making his first trip, they are pretty sure to know it. It is advisable for him in that ease to tell his stateroom steward and his waiter that he will give them tho regu lar fee at tho cud of tho trip if thej serve him properly and that if they do not they will not get a penny. If ho tells them this in the proper way, he will get as good service as the man who is well known. The lust morning of the trip the state room steward comes round for his fi 1. If tho passonger does not offer it, tho steward suggests that it is customary to gjve him a fee, andT.ut the regulai fee is half a sovereign. L anything less is offered him aud ho things ho c.su get a half sovereign by refusing to accept less, he will at once hand the proffered sum hack and say in an insolent way (bat he never takes less than tho regu lar fee. With many passengers, particularly women, this remark and tho tone ex tract the 10 shillings. The saloon stew ard does tho same thing. The steward* work in with each other, and if a man succeeds in avoiding tho stateroom stew ard tho saloon steward will ask him for both himself and tho stateroom steward. As n man cannot get off the ship until it stops, there is uo way of escaping these demands, which will be repeated during the lust day of the trip until the passenger succumbs.—New York Home Journal.

Some Strictures 1’pon the Dress of Kug- lish Literary Men. Novelists and playwrights in sample quantities are tho latest class to come under tho basilisk eye and measuring tape of The Tailor aud Cutter. These members of the sister profession of jour nalism, and perhaps even the severely judged members of parliament who have appeared iu a liko connection, may be relieved to know that tho novelist* and playwrights scarcely excel them as glasses of fa-nhion aud molds of form. By w ay uo doubt of sho.rpeniug bis pen, tho tailor critic begins with 1. Zung- will, whoso hmugo suit “might have belonged to any period during the last ten years, ” and had even reached the stage of tho “shabby genteel.’’ How ever, it is consoling to know that Mr. Zangwill's literary success enables him to wear a frock coat that nearly passes muster, even though the accompanying trousors are too short. Mr. Jerome, J. M. Barrio, Henry Ar thur Jones aud Hall Caino might al most bo called moderately well dressed iu a nonstylish sort of way. At all events they avoid tho shuddering solecism of wearing a light coat aud waistcoat with dark trousers, attributed to Robert Buchanan, or the mixed styles of W. S. Gilbert.

The sign mudo its appearance after tho shop ping of one Chi istmas season. But there is no time of tho year in which the do- maud for boxes is quite discontinued, ami the sign serves its purpose always. Tho demand for boxes was prompted by the amiable desire to deceive some friend or relative' into the belief that the article presented to him came from tho best establishment in the city. Sim ilar attempts are made at tho well know 11 glass and china shops, at one of tho well known French confectioners and at all of the establishments which have mudo a reputation in some par ticular field. Nearly all of these answer such ap plications with tho words of tho sign, “No Boxes Sold Here,” but there aro some few which sell them as regularly as they do other objects of merchandise and aro quite indifferent to what be comes of them so long as they get their rather high prices for tho empty boxes bearing the name of the firm. Similar indifference is shown by a well known English picklo factory, which allows its labels to bo sold hero and pasted over any sort of stuff that tho pur chaser of them happens to concoct.— New York Sun.

Next to the nose, probably tho ears, as a rule, show tho fewest and least obvious signs of old ago. FOR Up-to-Date Job Print ing, call at the LEDGER Office. Gaffney, S. C.
