Stray Stories. Nearly all travelers In central Africa have referred to the curious customs prevalent among almost all pagan native tribes of driving quantities of nails into sacred trees and other objects that have been adjudged worthy of veneration, and this not in malice, but as a religious rite, the nails in question being intenoed as votive offerings. Exactly the same thing may be witnessed to-day at the sacred well of St. Maebruha. in Loch Maree, Rosshire, where is an ancient oak tree studded with countless nails of all sizes, the offerings of invalid pilgrims who came to worship and be cured.

Pennies and half-pennies also are to be seen in enormous quantities driven edgewise in the tough bark, and a friend of the writer's who visited the spot some little time back discovered in a cleft high up in the trunk what he took to be a shilling. On being extracted, however, it proved to be counterfeit. Probably the donor, finding that he could get no value for his coin in the natural world, concluded he might as well try, as a last resource, what effect it might have on the spiritual. Of course, the poor cottars and others who flock to St. Maebruha with their nails and th ir pence do not for a moment admit that they are assisting at a pagan ceremony.

But they most undoubtedly are. Well worship has always occupied an im-potant place in paganism, and the sacred oak, before which each pilgrim must thrice kneel ere humbly presenting his offering what is it but an obvious survival of the sacred groves of Druldlcal times? Washington, Philadelphia, pitch Townsend. Time 1:43. Johnstone. SECOND GAME.

TEN TOUCHDOWNS MADE PIRDIE DEFEATS FRANKLIN BY THE BIG SCORE OF SO TO O. Baptists Too Weak for the Fast Purdue Line Culver Bents Wabaah, 27 -to Other College Contests. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE. Sept.

a driz- iling rain this afternoon Purdue piled up 56 points against Franklin College In the opening game of the local season. The play was loose and there was considerable fumbling with the slippery ball. Franklin's line, although strong in some points, went down repeatedly before the onslaught of the "Boilermakers." In the first half there were several star runs by Osborne, who advanced the ball for i Purdue each time it was given him. Emise, at center, Davidson, at tackle, and Captain Leslie showed up exceptionally strong. Five minutes after the kick-off Miller made a plunge through center after a series of end plays.

and placed the pigskin behind Franklin's goal. Davidson followed soon after with a forty-yard dash through the opponents' line for a second touchdown. Kaylor was soon shoved over for a third score, and at the end of the first half the score stood 33 to 0. In the second half Coach Best changed the entire eleven by putting in substitutes, and it was practically the second eleven that lined up against Franklin. When Emise and Leslie retired there was not a 'varsity man in the game.

Zimmerman, a substitute, distinguished himself in this half by 55 and 35-yard runs for touchdowns. Several times Brannigan. of Franklin, made long punts, which netted the only gains for his team. Wheeler, a substitute half back, made a touchdown and this was repeated until 23 points had been scored. Franklin held Purdue for downs but once, this oc curring near the end of the game The game to-day was not considered by Coach Best as a test of Purdue's strength.

CULVER, Sept. 27. Culver Military Academy defeated Wabash College in the first game of the season to-day by the score of 27 to 0. Both coaches, Williams and Brookfleld, are old University of Michigan players, and the styles of attack were very similar, but the Interference and line plunging of the cadets swept the college boys off their feet and Ave touchdowns were made in the first half. McQuaid missed three goals, but his punting and dodging were spectacular.

Six new men were in the Culver line-up, and some trepidation was felt about their showing. They played their positions like veterans without exception, however and all show great promise. At no time was the Culver goal line threatened, although early in the second half Wabash carried the ball from its five-yard line past the middle of the field. The flela was wet and slippery, but very little fumbling marred the contest. The line-up: Culver.

Notre Dame won easily, scoring 21 points in the first half. Its game was open and lacked team work, every touchdown being made by individual players, who made runs of fifteen to sixty yards.

The visitors, while outclassed by the more experienced men of the university, were in better condition than Notre Dame, and in the second half held the ball two-thirds of the time, going through the line with a revolving mass play for twelve gains of two to seven yards each.

Sept. 27. -The first week of football practice at Indiana University closed to-day, and the showing made by the squad is very encouraging. The squad has increased to twenty men, and they have been put through hard work during the week, having been taken out twice a day. The practice has consisted largely of elementary work, such as chasing punts and some little work in tackling.

Coach Home believes a great deal in getting his men in condition by primary work, so that when the real work does begin they will be in shape to take the training. College will open on Tuesday, and by that date all men who will try for places on the team will have reported. It is thought that sufficient men will apply early next week to form three elevens, and then work will be on in full blast. One or two of the old 'varsity men are still out, but intend to be here in due time. The choice rtf loet anrith foam namo in c- ii ii Ul la.i teat cv i a terdav.

and are going to make strenuous i efforts to move up Into the ranks of the varsity eleven this season. Shackelton, Macauley, Bryan and Magaw, all of whom did good work with the scrubs last year, give promise of fine ability this season, and some of them will take their coveted positions easily enough. Johnson, a star quarter back, is already good for this position and has developed wonderfully within the past week. Killen is still unable, on account of an injured leg. to work very hard.

The line, which is still a bit light, is to De greauy strengt neneo oy two neavy am I Markle, the old-time "varsity center, will be on hand not later than Tuesday, and his presence will add materially to the weight and strength of the line. It was hoped that Captain Smith, who was obliged to re8ign short tIme 'KO anfj who has since been sick with fever, would deciae to come into the team later on in the season, but all hope of his being on the gridiron have been abandoned. The loss of Smith will be irreparable. His position was guard and will be hard to fill. The svstem of graduate coaching, it has been definitely decided, will be tried here this season.

The alumni of the university contain several reputable players and coaches who can be employed to assist Coach Home, and with this force it Is believed a good team wili be turned out. The Rose Polytechnic- game here next Saturday will open the season, and the 'varsity men feel certain that they will be able to make a good showing. BLANK TIE AT EARLHAM M. T. H.

S. HOLD THE HEAVIER HVA-KERS DOWN TO NOTHING. Bat Are Themselves I nable to Score Marlon Defeats Warren Other High School Football Games. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND, Sept.

a drenching rain and on a field ankle deep in mud the football team from the Manual Training High School of Indianapolis played the team from Earlham College this afternoon, with the result that neither side scored. The college team averaged twenty pounds heavier than the visitors. This did not deter the schoolboys from entering the game with a show of pluck and energy that soon won great respect for them. The Earlham team throughout the game tried mass plays, but the M. T.

H. S. boys, with their scientific work, kept them from doing much damage. Notwithstanding the heavy condition of Reid Field, the college players resorted to punting, and in several instances gained good distances. The M.

T. H. S. boys were not discouraged by this, however, and brought the ball back into safe territory. The work of the M.

T. H. S. players was somewhat of a surprise to the collegians, who entered the field with the firm expectation of winning by a good score. The work of Bonham and Fesler on the M.

T. H. S. team was considered remarkable. They played a good clean game, and at no time was the umpire required to caution them for off-side plays.

The new men on the visiting team showed up well, and Manager McComb expressed surprise at their playing. The work of the visitors was free from fumbling, which cannot be said for the collegians, who lost several valuable opportunities by dropping the ball at critical times. The line-up: M. T. H.

H. S. Candidates Are Showing; Up Well in Practice. Candidates for the Manual Training High School football team are busy every afternoon at the grounds at the corner of Capitol avenue and Sixteenth street. The men are under Captain Jack Shideler and Coach Fred Winter.

Prospects for a fast team as well as a heavy one are exceedingly bright. Seven of the men on last year's team will be on the eleven again and the new men are showing up in such a way as to give Captain Shideler every reason to believe that this year's eleven will be as good as the one which so well defended the colors of the Manual Training High School last season. One man who will be badly missed is Krull, the star full back, who is possibly the best punter in the State. The work of kicking will in all probability rest on Jack Shideler. The team this year will have a heavy line and light backs.

Some of the new men who are trying for places on the team never played football and have never been in a game. This state of affairs, of course, will necessitate a good deal of coaching on the part of Winter and the old men. The old men who were in the game last year and who will likely make the team again are Jack Shideler, Tad Shideler, Qeorge Steele. Bert Hamlet, Frank Bonham, Bob Fessler. and John Warren.

The new candidates who are showing up well are Bailey. Glass. Fortune. Saunderson, Rothert. Dugan.

Dow and Woodbrldge. Saunderson was a member of the Lake View High School team of Chicago last year, and is a strong player. Rothert comes well recommended from the Kankakee, 111., High School, where he was a member of the football eleven last season. As yet it is too early to tell who will compose the first team, as Captain Shideler wants to give all the men a fair trial. A game has been secured with the Wabash High School which claimed the championship of Indiana last year.

The game will be played on Oct. 18. Rose Polytechnic was to have been played on this date, but the game was called off and the Wabash game arranged. A very strong second team ta. 23; Carleton College, will be organized this year, and will be a prominent part of the school's athletic clubs.

Harry Wheeler has been selected captain of the second squad and George Wildhack manager. One of the best high school second elevens In the State is expected to be made up from the unsuccessful candidates for first team honors. A good schedule will be arranged, which will include games with Greenfield. Terre Haute. Lafayette and other high schools which cannot be accommodated by the first team.

A game between the Shortridge School and M. T. H. S. seconds will be played early in the season.

27. On a muddy field Hartford City and Muncie High Schools played their first game of the season this afternoon. Muncie failed to kick its only attempt at goal and lost the game by one point, as Berger scored for Hartford City. The contest was hard fought throughout. Muncie crossed the line by repeated attacks on the left side of Hartford line.

Wilson skirted the left end for the first touchdown in 5:01. Hartford City evened up by sending Forty-through Muncie's right guard after two and one-half minutes of play. Hartford City was unable to bring a full high school team and substituted six members of the city team. Played in a Sea of Mad. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

FAIRMOUNT. Sept. almost incessant rain during the day made the gridiron a sea of mud this afternoon dur- a inS the am between the Fairmount Academy and Anderson High School teams. It was almost impossible for the players to hold their feet in the slime which enveloped their shoes. The first half was played almost entirely in the center of the field and neither scored.

Directors Decide to Invite Wider Alley Competition. The directors of the Indianapolis Bowling Tournament Association met last night to discuss the bids on the eight alleys that are to be placed in Tomlinson Hall. As but one bid was received the directors decided to secure wider competition and bids from other manufacturers will be asked. In the same connection Mayor Bookwalter will visit Chicago the last of this week to take the matter up with alley builders of that city. The theory of the directors is that no contract should be let until the fullest competition has been obtained.

The directors decided to prosecute the stock subscription solicitation energetically, with a view to getting the total capitalization of $5,000 subscribed early. ICED DRIMiS I MI)V, England and Continent Cannot Understand American Ice Habit. Boston Globe. Europe sets awnings upon her palaces, especially her pleasure palaces. In America one finds them everywhere even upon tenements.

That they are not entirely universal is due, in large measure, to the universal vacation habit. As much may be said of window and door screens, which bar dust and insects and let in the fresh air. but none of these adventitious aids to summer comfort afford half so strong a contrast as does the use of ice. Here everybody, without regard to age, sex, color or previous condition, regards it as a commonplace, something no more to be done without in hot weather than bread or clothes. It is far otherwise elsewhere.

London bars even which serve iced drinks placard them as "American." Housewives abroad get along without it, or If very progressive, manage upon the most sparing supply. The buying is often literally from hand to mouth no more than sufficient for a present economical consumption. Such lavish extravagance as buying ice to melt while keeping other things cool and fn-h is unheard of and unthought of. There is something pitiful in hearing that so near us as the West Indies the supply of ice is often fetched home wrapped In a single palm leaf. By way of contrast, in New Orleans artificial ice is so cheap the v.

gangs and roustabouts while at work often pelt each other with bits of it snatched from their drinking water. And in the harvest fields of the West and the middle South a barrel of ice water, constantly replenished, stands sweating coolness in some conveninet shade. Throughout Great Britain, the country whose standard of comfort most nearly approaches our own, many things which American laborers eat plentifully are reserved for the very rich. Peaches, for example. Unless Imported and tasteless, as well as dear, thfy are a wall fruit, only a little less flavorless, and dearer still.

Peach trees grow well enough, but will fruit only on a wall or in a glass house. The best of the fruit fetches 5 shillings, a little more than $1 apteo. Ten shillings the dozen will in a favorable season buy fair fruit. A basket, meaning maybe four fine peaches packed in silver tissue paper, cotton, wool and osier willow, may stand -ou a guinea. So it is easy to understand that many among even the well-to-do live and die without ever tasting a really fine peach.

Classlf yina the Horse. Correspondent Harper's Weekly. 1 have spent much of a long life in the observation of horses. I have reared them, broken them, trained them, ridden them, driven them in every form from the plow to the four-in-hand. The result of these years of study is summed up in one sentence: I believe the horse to be part maniac and part idiot.

Every horse at some time in his life develops into a homicidal maniac. I believe any man who trusts himself or his family to the power of a horse stronger than himself to be lacking in common sense and wholly devoid of ordinary prudence. I have driven one commonplace horse every other day for six years over the same road, and then had him go crasy and try to kill himself and me because a leaf fluttered down in front of him. I have known scores of horses, apparently trustworthy, apparently creatures of routine, go wild and insane over equally regular and recurring phenomena. No amount of observation can tell when the brute will break out.

One mare took two generations of children to school over the same quiet road, and then in her nineteenth year went craty because a rooster crowed alongside the road. She killed two of the children. If any one can tell me of one good reason why man should trust a horse 1 should be glad to know. HERBERT BEST IN MUD BEAT FIELD OF FAST RIAERI Iff OCCIDENTAL HANDICAP. Carhnaele Seeond.
