AS THE SMALL BOY WROTE IT. (Household.) A teacher in one of Boston's public schools had instructed her pupils in hygiene, and toward the end of the term wishing to see how well they eould remember, told them to each write out a little story of the human body. The following is copied from the story" one small boy handed her. With the confident assurance that he knew it was all right, for he had studied very hard over it: "The human body is divided into three ptirts: the head, the thorax, and the abdomen. . The head contains the brains, 11 there are anv; the thorax contains the heart and the vital organs; and the abdomen the vowels, of which there are five, a. e. i. o. and u, and sometimes w and y."

Return of Football Team Indlgna linn r. f t , f t j 1 r- a nf ( hnrlntf rl. Universlty of Virginia, Novembet 26. Upon its return to the University after its great victory over Carolina, the football team of the University was greeted with a royal welc.me. Amid a heavy rain several hundred students gathered at the station on Sunday afternoon and filled the air with college yells and songs ae the train approach ed. As the team alighted, the enthusi asm was marked, and continued until the University wa reached. The r. bers of the team were of course in higil spirits after the successful conflict, and were loud in their praises of the ex cellent reception and treatment accord ed them by the people of Norfolk. Th victory over North Carolina has al ready done a great deal towards de feating Sewanee in the great game to be played in Richmond on Thanksgiv ing Day, which will probably be at tended by more of the students of the University, in addition to the larpe number who wl'.J come from all over the State on special excursion trains. While the Virginia team has great con fidence in its ability to defeat Sewanee, information from th University of the South shows that the struggle for su premacy will be a 1 1 n rd me. The team there is one of the best Tor years, and it seems that it has not im-t with de- feat a single time during the season, but n the contrary has defeated the leading colleges of the South, in addi tion to having a tie with Nrth Caro lina. Captain Wilson, of Sewanee, 18 on the team for his fourth year, and has the reputation of being one of the best men in col'ego athletics In the country. Boiling, Claiborne and Poola are all old men. trained in football. The average weight of the team is 165 pounds, the players ranging from IDS to 13o pounds. The line-up of Poanee will be as follows, and Virginia's positions will be settled upon in ri?;ht end, 152 p. day .r tw Black, Boiling, right tackle, 1 Tt pounds; guard, 195 pounds; pounds; Kilpatrick Dounds: Phillies Lfi ( . ilborne, right Poole, centre, 185 left guard, 185 tackle, 1GS pounds; Pearce, left end, 125 p'un'is; u nson, quarter lack, 156 pounds; Seibel, right half back. 178 pounds; Sienkins, full back, 170 pounds; Suter, half back, 150 pounds:- Neus, half back. 160 pounds; Kirby Smith, half back, :.r.O pounds. The following is the full text of the at a ten ent issued by t.ie students after a mass-meeting held Saturday evening to protest against the action of the Mayor of Charlottesville, who under took to cheek the enthusiasm of the boys over the victory at Norfolk: "To the people of the City of Char lottesville: "We, a committee of the student body, desire to bring to your attention the particulars cf an iiritating incident that occurred on Saturday afternoon. "Immediately upon receiving the final report of the game of football be tween the Universities of North Caro lina and Virginia, which resulted in the defeat of the former, about one hundred and fifty r two hundred stu dents, after eh ering over the Univer sity, formed in orderly procession and marched down Main street, occasionally singing the usual college songs.

"Confident that the officers in this case went beyond all l gitimate hounds In enforcing a law that is designed for those who are law-breakers, and was never intended to prevent such demon strations, the entire student body feels iht it has a Just cause for complaint.
