14 FIGHT OH FOOTBALL The (toffnor Talks on the Sill Passed By tin Legislature. SAYS IT IS BEST COLLEGE SP&RT He is Strengly In Favor of the Gwme., Slid While He Will Sign the Bill—He Bv lieres It T«o Restrictive. , Atlanta, Nov. 20.—Governor Atkin son occupies a peculiar position towards the bill condemning football, which has recently passed both houses of the gen eral assembly. He had not read itbe document yet, and is oat familiar with its contents, but will probably affix his signature, although he does not believe the bill should have been passed. The executive is a great football en thusiast. He does not favor the entire prohibition of the game <On the con trary he believes the sport one cf the; best in the realm of college athletics. He encourages his sons to play football, goes to see every game possible, and states that if he had been a legislator he would have voted against [the bill, He does not think, however, the matter is of sufficient importance for a veto. There has been a change fa football sentiment throughout the state, and even in the legislature, since the bill was passed. Many think the measure goes entirely too far. It is not alto gether improbable that before before the legislature adjourns the action may be reconsidered, and the law modified eo as to change the present rules. The governor would favor such modification. “I do not believe football should be abolished,” said Governor Atkin son, “it is one of the best games play ed today. It makes men of our boys, cultivates the physical along with the mental, imbues college life with an additional inspiration, and teaches a man to meet the battles of the world with a firmer hand than he would otherwise. “When our college boys get to the point they are afraid to play football on account of getting hurt I think we had better dress them in petticoats and make them wash dishes. I hav*e a young son and I have always en couraged him to play football. I hope he will make a faithful warrior on the gridiron. I think it will make a better man of him in the long run. “People are always talking about the many fatalities incident to the game. Here are a few stat i 4ics which I gleaned the other day showing the death's caused by football in compar ison with other games: In 1890 twen ty-five hundred lives were lost in this country by bathing; 1,300 by boat ing; 1,050 by bunting; 800 by wheeling; 19 by football; 11 by baseball, and 6 by golf. This shows that the game is not quite so brutal after all. Com parison of football with prize fighting is preposterous, because the sole in tent in prize fighting is to injure. It is not so in football. “If the legislature wishes to do away with brutal sports they can find better subjects than football. I am very sorry the game has been discontinued in the state. Still Ido not consider the matter of sufficient importance for a veto or to raise a row about, and I guess I shall sign the bill. “The only trouble with football as now played is that there is too much professionalism about it. If college teams would stick to their colleges for their men instead of scouring the country for there wou'd be fewer injuries, and a more satisfactory sport. You show me a man though, who has the grit to buck the line in a scrimmage and I will show you a man who has the stuff in him to make a A ICCSSB.” _ BEAUTIFUL EVIL. The Typical Rascal Is Never the Splendid Villain of Romance. If the revulsion from romanticism to realism which has taken place in the higher class of fiction could descend al so to the lower, it would go far toward the correction of an influence baleful in the extreme to thousands of young livea But unhappily such a reform is impos sible in the very nature of things, for in proportion as fiction becomes true to life it takes rank with the higher order, and thus passes beyond the class of readers by whom it is most needed. For this evil influence of low sensa tional literature the newspaper must share the responsibility with the cheap novel. A splendid villain is always a more interesting character than a dis gusting brute, so whatever nature or •fortune may have dpne to favor a criqi- Constipation Causes fully half the sickness In the world.

Insurance Patrol Works aa Faithfully For the Poor as For Those Who Are Insured* There is an article in St. Nicholas on “The Fire Patrol,” written by Charles ’T. Hill, who has contributed a series of papers to that magazine on the New York fire department. Mr. Hill sayp: At fires in the homes of the poor these detachments of the patrol work just as earnestly and conscientiously to save property as they would in the expensive ly furnished mansions of' the rich. At tenement house fires they are of great service. First, they aid in getting the people out; then, gathering the goods together, the patrolmen protect them from water with tarpaulin covers. The majority of these fires break out in the basements or cellars, then, following the air and light shafts to the top floor, they spread and do the greatest damage in the upper stories. To extinguish these fires the other floors below have to be flooded, and were jt not for the fire pa trol in many cases the poor families would lose everything they owned. One of the captains of the patrol re marked: “Why, it would do your heart good if you could hear how profuse these poor people are in their thanks, and the blessings they shower on us when they find we’ve saved their things. They go running around, wringing their hands and crying, ‘Everything’s lost, everything’s lost!’ And then, when the fire is out, we lead them back and show them their things, as dry as a chip un der the covers, and—well, say, there isn’t anything they wouldn’t do for us. Half the time they ’re not insured, and it isn’t our business to protect people who are not, but we’re not supposed to know everything, and our orders are to protect property first and find out whether it is insured afterward, and it is not our fault if we save the little all of a lot of poor creatures who half the time haven’t a change of clothes to their backs. You bet we get to work just as quick in a tenement house fire as in a big bouse on Fifth avenue, and we do the same work in both places, no mat ter whether it’s for the rich or the poor. ’’ To Care A Gold In One Day Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.

Prlnveton Professor Who Recently With drew From the Presbyterian Church. Hundreds of Presbyterian ministers now located in various parts of the country probably learned with sincere regret of the withdrawal from the Pres byterian ■church of Rev. Charles Wood ruff Shields, D. D., who took this action because be was censured for signing the application of Princeton inn for a liq uor license. As professor ■of the har mony of science and revealed religion at Princeton Dr. Shields ihas become known and respected by succeeding classes of embryo clergymen for aver 30 years. Dr. Shields was born in New Albany, Ind., April 4, 1825. He was graduated from Princeton, .then known as the Col lege of New Jersey, in 1844, after which he studied theology for three years in BEV. CHARLES WOODRUFF SHIELDS, D. D. Princeton seminary. His first call was to Hempstead, N. Y., but in .1850 he went to Philadelphia to become pastor of the Second church. There he remain ed until 1865 when he returned to Princeton to become professor of the re lations of religion to —ience, a title which has since been changed to profess or of the harmony of science and re vealed religion. Since 1865 Dr. Shields has been con tinuously at Princeton, and his recent difficulty is the first occasion on which his views have clashed with those of the church authorities. The venerable doctor is the author of a number of the ological books, some of which are reck oned as standard works, among them being “A Manual of Worship, Suit able to Be Used In Legislative and Other Public Bodies, ” “Philosophia Ultima, ” “Memorial Discourses,” “The Directo ry For Public 'Worship and the Book of Common Prayer” and ‘‘Liturgia Expur gata. ” Although Dr. Shields is no lon ger a Presbyterian, he is still teaching theology at Princeton, having the warm support in regard to his recent course of President Patton and a majority of the faculty.

When Edward 111 and his queen made their triumphal en try into Calais, “tambours, ” or drums, were among the instruments which were played in their honor.

She married a young lawyer, who set tled down in Carrolton to build up a practice. Mrs. Rainey was not entirely satis fied with the church and social life of the small town. She joined the local women’s clnbs, but finding them lack ing in energy and progressiveness she determined to do something on her own account. She decided, after thoroughly inspecting the ground, that the boys and girls of the town needed help. She spent two years in getting acquainted with them, and then she organized a boys’ club. The meetings were held in her home, and the sessions were varied enough to make them interesting. Gen erally Mrs. Rainey read a good story. Then she would lead them in discus sions about topics of the day. By show ing them pictures, prints of famous paintings, casts of famodb statues and photographs of great works she culti vated their taste for art. She took an interest in their baseball nines and taught them to play lawn tennis. After the boys’ club was thoroughly established she prompted the organiza tion of the Violet Sewing circle, in which 35 girls were pleasantly associat ed. She also organized a working girls’ club, and she was the promoter of sev eral reading circles among the parents of her young friends. For four years Mrs. Rainey has di rected these various organizations and she is fully satisfied that her time has been well spent. During that time she has improved many opportunities for doing philanthropic work of a practical kind and, having the enthusiastic co operation of her husband, who is a man of some means, she has been able to do a great deal of good. Mrs. Rainey’s work has beeen done in a modest, quiet man ner, but she has accomplished more than others have by widely advertised movements.

A Homemade Tape Meosare. An exceedingly pretty as well as use ful adjunct to one’s work basket is a tape measure made from grosgrain rib bon to take the place of the usual ugly measure, which does not seem suited to the pretty baskets which are now so generally used. The measure can be made as long as one chooses, but for the one most generally used a yard and one eighth of grosgrain ribbon three-quar ters of an inch wide are needed. The ribbon, if a pale violet, should be mark ed off into quarter inches with violet ink, and the ends are fastened over lit tle white sticks, which can be procured at any store where art notions are sold. The measure is made much prettier when tiny violets, outlined in ink, are scattered here and there on the ribbon Disfigurement for life by burns or scalds may be avoided by using De- Witt’s Witch Hazel Salve, the great remedy for piles and for all kinds of sores and skin troubles.
