 Tonight the polo cranks will have a chance to see that Willie Leydon has lost none of his skill since he left New Haven "Mulp' Smith of the defunct Meridens will play half-ba on the New Britain team The game this evening will be hustler, and it looks as if the New Ravens will come out ahead. The superb defence of the local team make it pretty sure. New Britain played here last Monday night and were defeated. They will have a taste of the same medicine tonight.
 Leydon will probably play center to- night. The attendance at the rink is in creasing, but the game tonight will draw.

BEST MAN AFTER ALL.
Rhapsody In Behalf of the Boy Who
 Dares to Love His Mother. TFro,,, tba Nt;,og, Tr;hupa

Rhapsody in Behalf of the Hoy Who
 Dares to Love His Mother.
 From the Chicago Tribunel
 What blessing to man and womankind is "mother's boya" He is the boy who goes to mother with all his little trials and troubles of boyhood, and as years come to him he does not grow too worldly to take to her the same troubles, grown in impor- tance with his years and position in life. Mothers boudoir becomes to him a place of refuge when all the outer world seems crossways and twisted, and in that room he finds an influence of which he is until then unaware. It sheds it's rays about him, hot as faring headlight, blinding him to all other objects, but as a mellow light in which he sees things in their true sense, and with eyes of justice and wis dom.
 The influence of his early boyhood lin gers around him in after years when he has taken his place among the lawyers, politicians and business men of the world. He is helped upward on the ladder of suc- cess by the firm and conscientious princi- ples which became part of his being, while yet he was "mother's little boy" It | is he that guides the great ball of social | and political questions into the sunlight of enlightenment and civilization. Policy and public opinion seldom swerve him, for he sees the path of duty before him and is | guided on by the silken cord of conscience | so strongly developed in "mother's boy" Anything about which he would hesitate to tell his mother is beneath him, thus the | love he has for the one who nursed him ofttimes becomes the invisible power to stay him from deeds which would muddy his conscience and push him on in the course of tough and hardened man.
 In "mother's boy" is always found a touch of soul refinement, something | which lies beyond the outward show, and may be described as 8 love for all that it true, beautiful and good. No matter how old and hardened a man may grow in con tact with the busy world, there is still { trace of "mother's boy" in him, and hii heart will vibrate with the vigor of you'll when the silvery hairs or hands whicl smoothed the rugged way for little fee
 are brought to mind.
 It is no disgrace to be called mother
 boy" Abraham Lincoln was one. S
 was Garfield, and when the news of hi
 election reached him his first act an,
 thought was to carry the glad tidings to
 little mother who waited at home ready t
 share either joys or disappointment wit
 her boy.
 It is said that no boy is wholly bad wh
 loves his mother, and it may be added tha
 no girl will be wholly unhappy who trust her future to the man who carries hi
 mothers picture in his inside pocket.
