M. C. Commenting on Brewer’s per formance, the Atlanta Constitu tion says: “Brewer called the signals for the yearlings, kicked off, 'threw the passes and did the punting.

In addition to this he returned a kick-off 85 yards through the op posing team for a touchdown, but ■ the play was called back and Tech penalized for holding.

Famous Old Highland Town Crieff was greatly beloved by Charles Reade, who said: "The habitable globe possesses no more delightful spot tlmh Crieff. But the district Is not only charm ing; it is also of hoary antiquity. Stone and bronze instruments, rec ords of a bygone age, have been found there. Muthlll, three miles from Crieff, is the site where the Roman legions under Agrtcola de feated the British leader, Galgneus, and thirty thousand men. The earls pnlntine of Strathearn, “leaders of the Celtic party in Scotlnnd—tribal kings In their own right," held courts at Crieff from the earliest time of which we have any record, hut modern Crieff may be said to date its Hs" from the opening of the first railway in 1850. London Post. Captive Orang-Utan Showed Intelligence An orang-utun named Dohong. which whs brought to the New York *oo from Borneo some years ago, astonished os by his Intelligence, W. Held Blair writes In the American Magazine. A gas pipe four feet long and two Inches in diameter was wired to the bars at the front of his cage. The pipe itself could not be tilted or moved. Inside this pipe— In the very middle—a piece of ba nana was placed. Dohong, who was very fond of bananas, tried to get It. First Ive attempted to get it with hig hands, then ids feet, and failed. He tried to loosen the pipe, but he couldn’t do that. He was very much disturbed over his inability to get at that banana, and sat down to think it over. But no happy solu tion came to him—for the simple reason that, under the circum stances, there wasn't any. knowl Finally, without Dohong's edge, a stick nvo feet long with a hook in the end of It was concealed In the straw of his cage. Then Do hong was put back in the cage and ive waited. In the Course of If i minutes Dohong accidentally came across the hooked stick. It didn’t mean anythin,-; to him on the in stant, hut presently he was struck by a bright Idea. He inserted the hooked end of the stick Into the pipe, and. lo! out came the banana on the hook! After that, when a banana was put inside the pipe, Do hong wasted no time trying to reach it with his hands, but began looking at once for the hooked stick. This seemed to me to indicate a high order of intelligence. Collie Certainly Was Clever Though Crooked A dog story the other day seems to have attracted considerable at tention, says a writer in the Mon treal Herald, for In this mall I received the following from an acquaintance. ‘‘A friend of mine Is a butcher, who some time ago noticed a collie come into the shop, wag its tail and drop a letter at his feet. The meat man opened the note discovered that It was an order, signed by the collie’s master, for a piece of sausage. The dog was the meat, and the amount up on the master’s account. occurred several times, and the butcher ceased to unfold notes, knowing what they contained. “The dog continued his more or less frequently, and the account went in there was kick from its owner. There something like ten pounds of sages charged to the animal, master said he had only given dozen or so orders to the dog. happened to tie in the shop the day when his dog came in dropped the usual piece of Then it was found that ‘Nero,’ ticing that the butcher didn't the order, had been picking up pieces of paper, folding them, taking them into the shop, assuaging his sausage hunger.” On Growing Old When we become old. we want get off the streets.
