Sliields oí Howell lias been clioscn captain oí the U. of M. footbull team for the coming season.- Dexter Leader. You are in error. He is captain of the baseball team. All the diiference in the worid. In one you kill htm witli a club and in the other you kick him to death. See ? Look on this picture and see if it is not true to lil'e : " What is home without a newspaper?" It is a place where hats are stuffed into the window panes, where the children are like pigs, the wiíe like a savage, and the hnsband with a panorama of a dismal swamp painted on his shirt bosorn with tobáceo juice. An indoor, six-day's bicyde race was held at Philadelphia last week, and th winner, when taken from his wheel, could not stop the motion of his legs. He was taken to a hospital and at last accounts was still kicking. Tlierefoa-e bicycles should T)e suppressed. That is the way to reasora it, is it not ? Now doth the urchin shout witl) glee and skip the streets along ; the toni cat in wild haste doth flee at hearing of his song. For toys and games and curly heiuls are seen on every side, and whoop and yell the joys foretell of merry christmastide.

Huil are formulating a program for the week. Many of our younger people will remeinber John K. Robison, who was born liere in Ann Arbor, and who was appointed a cadet at the Annapolis Naval Academy. He rose rapidly and the government appointed hini an assistant engineer and sent him to Paris for instructions in the France Naval School there. It is said he has resigned the position, but no reason is giveii therefor. He is a grandson of Hon John J. Robison, formerly of this city. There is probably a good reason for this course, but the people here looked upon him as one who would attain distinction in the service he was in, and will règret to hear this bit of news. There are people vho continue to place a one cent stamp on a drop letter. In every instance the receiver has to pay another cent to get it out of the office. Uncle Sam evens things up, however, for if he charges you two cents for carrying your letter across the street, he only asks a like amount for carrying it from Ounalaska, in Alaska Ter., to Key West, Fia., a distance of nearly 6,300 miles. It is astonishing the calis for aid and for subscriptiona for different enterprises that are constantly being presented to our citizens. Not only at places of business, but at our homes. Our wives and sons and daughters are being continually importuned to give to this thing or tliat thing, taking 10c or 20c or 50c or 75c or $1, or perhaps more. Where a person has an income sufficient to warrant giving to all the things asked for, it is a pleasure to comply with the requests, but there are many who dislike to refuse, and who give when it is a positive sin for them to do so. The deinands this year seem to be greater than ever before, some way. The last issue of the Democrat contains this delicate hint to a certain good looking newspaper reporter in Ann Arbor: "There is no accounting for style to be sure and yet to one of delicate tastes it is bevond comprehension why a gentleman of culture and reflnement will wear a red neck tie, when he could buy a black onê with the same inoney. (iii-ls in red hats and red dresses are a sight so common as to not excite comment but gentlemen in red neck ties are i too attractive to escape unnoticed. We can't help saying to those who indulge in this bitof extravagant color, "dou't." Wear a neck tie that invests you with dignity instead of one that excites comment. and makes your complexion appear less clear and brilliant. Ahvays wear a neck tie but don 't wear a red one."
