"\Nell, that's a sp1en41id idea," said
Mrs, Dobley. "1 should hate to think of
you hurting an3' nese, John. who was
weaker than you, What part are you to
piny?"
"Center rush, I believe, is the position

of the other men. Yon see, six of our

We have a beefy line, and no mistake."
"Olt, those poor boys!' said Mrs, I)ob-
ley.. "I can't help feeling sorry for
them,"
"04, we'll taste care of them all right,"
said Dobley. "W'e'll trent them as though
they were babies in arms."
It' was a week of expectation in the
Dobley household, the master • of which
was away on his athletic practice for
the following Saturday. When that -des
arrived, MIS. Dobley and Mrs, Van Bite
• of the
per took a ri•u!n for the grounde.
preparatory school which was to witness
the debut of the hardware eleven.
The ladies obtained chairs on a' little
hill of ground in good sight of the tame
and near the small clubhouse. They
were excited over the event. and Mrs.
Dobley had brought opera glasses.
While they sat there two young men
in sweaters and bicyclo trousers strolled
by without noticing the ladies. They
were leashing about something.
"We'll play horse with ,those old dug-
ors!" said one of them. "They must be
crazy to come up against a regular
team."
"Let's tear their hearts out in the first
part of the game," said the other, "
they won't try it again."
"That center rush is a freak. Did you
see hien? We won't do a thing to him!"
`What peculiar language." said Mrs.
Dobley, growing pale. "Who are those
men, nnyliow?" she asked a small boy
who came out of the clubhouse.
"That's the captain of the football
team and the quarter back." said the boy.
"They are going to play those gentle-
men from the city. They won't know
they're on earth after the first rush."
'Who won't?"
"The old jays."
"Thank you." said Airs. Dobley. She
was getting more nervous every mo-
ment.
"I wonder if they are all as big as
those two?" said Mrs. Van flipper. "1
thought 'you said they were boys."
"Why, Mi. Dobley spoke
spokeDobleof them as
mere lads,
" said just then the hardware eleven, led by
Mr. Dobley, came slinking on the field.
They had obtained a sight of their op
ponents evidently. They stood around
in a dejected manner... holding consulta-
tions.
Suddenly, with a wild, joyous whoop..
the school players came running on the
field. They looked like wild tudiens, and
when they reached the center they began
to roll over on the ground like colts.
They were all six footers and wore
blazing red sweaters that lit up the
scene with color. The hardware eleven
flinched visibly at the sight of their ene-
mies.
Then they lined up opposite their foes.
Other students gathered around the field
and began to' cheer on their comrades
by wild yells. and calls. They jeered at
the hardware eleven in the most impolite
'1Fresltingt011 is a man of ideas," said
Mr. Robley to his wife.

"But they wou't play with you,"

mal trainer sail:.
"Take, for instance, the story of the
mile who stuck a pin in the elephant's
trunk and year afterward vias• del-
uged with dirty water by'the remem-
bering elephant. 1 am surprised that
any one should take this yarn serious -
1y. Wliy, the average thickness of the
elephant's bide rules from half an inch
to two inches deep. Now, Imagine a
pin going through that thickness on an
errand of pain. It would swallow a
pin and break ;a needle.
"The old fashioned elephant . story
that has any real basis of truth Is the
one that makes the big brute afraid of
a mouse. ' Dxperieleee In the winter
quarters of a show. where mice and
rats thrive, convinces one of this fact.
A mouse will make ail' entire herd
noisy with fright, 111111 a rat will put
them in a condition of desperate fear.
An elephant may defend itself against
a cion. tiger or any other natural ene-
my, but the insignificant size of a
ninuse bafiie§ his conception of offen-
sive or defensive warfare. The mouse
is too quick to be crushed underfoot
or to be caught by his trunk. and it
caii scamper over his rough Hide with
impunity. • The elephant real1Ges his
helplessness against such a diminutive
fee and learns to fear it as he fears no
other animal."
