He Tasted Foot-ball In Our Hash.

Monttcello Herald: Rensselaer is the most thoroughly saturated foot ball town in this part of the State. The papers teem with it, the citizens dream about it, the atmosphere smells of it, the hash tastes of it, the men wear foot ball stick pins, and the girls wear foot balls on the ends of their hat pins. All because the town happens to have a team that has downed about everything that ever ran up against it.
