i The sports and games OF boyhood
succeed each other in unerring regular
iiy, although It is difficult to give any
reason Why. 1t has occurred to us that
q sporting calendar would <be Of great
service to the boys:
January-Make snow forts, garrison
them with snow men; slide down hill
provided you can fnd bill snd get
your feet wet. This takes up all the
month.
February-Go skating, fsll into The.
"danger" holes sHd get nearly drowned !;
stay in The house three weeks with sore
throat and fever.
March Fish through rotten ice, and
run all the risks possible; get your,stilts
In shape.
April--First week. play your practical
Jokes until yon get tsome one mad enough
to sslick" you; play s.hookey from
school and base ball the rest Of the
month.
May-Paste up few kites, spilling
the paste all over the carpets, and try to
fly them; marbles good deal; hop
scotch and "boiler."

Elder Traverse was once tina most no.
ted men in Eastern New York as q
camp meeting leader. He had power
ful voice, was fluent speaker. and in
the prime Of lite could get with
any man who ever sought to disturb his
meetings
The elder was once holding camp
meeting near Yonkers, and word reached
him that notorious rough known as
sChicsqo Bob intended to be on hand
on Sunday for q row. He made no reply
and took no precautions. and when Bob
appeared on the grounds with cigar in
his mouth and slung-shot in his sleeve
the elder didn't grow pale worth cent.
Bob had come out there to run things,
and be took forward seat. When the
people stsrsed to sing he began growing
and thus created confusion.
ssRohert you bad better sit down" 7"
observed the elder as be came forward.
"ChicaQo Bob sits down for no man r.
Was the reply.
ASit down. Robert" continued the
elder, - be put his hand on the loafer's
arm.
"Here goes to clean out the crowd!''
|crowed Bob as he peeled of bis coat.
Next instant the elder hit him under
/ the ear, and, as he fell over bench, he
was followed up and bit again and again,
and while ia q semi-unconscious state be
Was carried off by his friends.
Next day he was the frst one to go
forward for prayers. The elder put his
hand on his head and asked:
Robert, are you 10 earnest ."
II am."
.Are you really seeking after faith p
"You bot am! II faith helpe man

A PLEA FOR THE OLD MEN

Just abost all the comfort your father can get
Isa smoke by the warm kitchen fre;
Let him smoke in the corner in peace, If he

Though the clouds Of tobacco may choke;
There is no one can tell, but q lonely old man.
How much comfort there is in smoke.
Like free bird that aysth irom limb unto

8 Your routine Of joys you go through:
And some of them look Just as foolish 70 him
As smoking looks foolish 70 you;
We're none Of ns perfeot-all this you be.
iiev6--
Our lives should with charity shine.
Like tho golden thread the wsavsrs weave
In and out Of the dark design.
Should zen live to Be oldthough you may
never smoke
Yet I'll wager penny or two
You will have some strong habit to tease other
folk,
Bad as this that is worrying you;
Let him smoke in the corner in peace il he
can,
Though the clouds Of tobacco may choke;
There Is no one can tell but lonely old maa
How much comfort there Ia iu smoke.
Do I smoker No. not II Nor will advise
Any youth the bad habit to get;
But when enc is old, and can't stop if be tries
il It wisdom to worry and fretS
Let him smoke in the corner in peace. II he
can,
Though the clouds Of tobacco may choks;
There Is mo- one can tell, but lonely old man
How much comfort there Is in a smoke.

he wheeled rapidly round several times.

shake off her new acquaintance; but the
bird returned after every repulse. and

lestly into hers that she almost fancied
they had human expression. While

Iture. more horsemen joined the group

that the falcon might perch upon his

the Young girl so intently, and with such
