"Oh, dear me. shall never be bic to

acre and where many trout streams arc
nnprcscrvcd. has an extraordinary
story OLA Brooklyn sportsman who found
himself at the edge of Il trout hole lit
orally swarmng with fish when he was
unprovidcd with tackle. lie gave n de-
spairng glance ut the fish and was
about to pass on when II most unsports-
manilic idea came into his head, and
the next moment he yielded to the
temptation. The stream was narrow
and the sportsman was broad. so talk
ing OFF his trousers he tied the legs into
sacks. and going to the narrowcst part
of the trout hole down stream lie
weighed down the waistband with
stones and proppcd wide the natural
entrance to the trousers with stout
sticks. Then wading into the stream
above the fish, he had the satisfaction
of driving the whole shoal into the
gaping mouth of his netted garments.
Approaching cautiously he snatched
the trousers from the water and laid
their writing limbs upon the bank.
His conduct was :::ost u:isportsmanlike,
but those who ate the trout overlooked
this little matter of technique

Ono Of the attractions at an industrial
exhibition recently held in Metz was
the chaise in which Napoleon travelled
from Paris to Moscow in 1912. 1t was
bequcathcd to Baron de Iunolstein,
who sold it to man in Metz upon tho
condition that it should never be con-
sidcred as an article of commerce. The
purchaser, in fact, bound himself in
writing TO destroy the vehicle if he
should not wish to preserve it. 1t at
tracted great attention at Metz and it's
owner received several very advanta-
geons offers from persons who wished
to possess it. One of these he was on
the point Of accepting when the heirs
of Baron Hunolstcin interfered and in
sisted that the contract must be lived
up to. The owner was so angcred at
losing chance to make a nice sum of
money that he threatened to fulfill the
contract, not by preserving the historic
chaisc, but by chopping it into kindling
wood

ANTIQUITY OF FOOTBALL.
Nt Was Played by the Greeks md Roman
Centuries Ago.

NSiluricS ago.
in answer to n query whether football
~ modern game the Baltimore Aneri-
can says:
no IL was IL sport which highly de-
lighted both tho Romans and the
Greeks. IL Was known by the former
as harpastum, and by the latter as es-
plskuros. There is IL reference in Eitz
Stephen which is supposed to Indicate
that The amusement was popular in
England during the reign of Henry H.. ,
about 100. This mention has II doubt
ful meaning, and may refer only to ten
ms. 1T is certain, however, that it was
familiar to the subjects of Edward ILL.,.
Tor he in l341 felt compelled to Issue an
.edict prohibiting it, not because of its
undcsirability, but because it i,npctlcd
the progress of archery. For similar
reason james III. of Scotland also put,
the ban on the game. Sir Thomas Ell
yot, writing in the time Of Henry Will,
denounced the game as being moth
ynge but bcastly fury and extreme
violence whereof procccdeth hurtc, and
consequently rancor and malice do re-
main with them that be wounded.
wherefore it is to be put in perpetual.
sylencc." James /. also shared this be-
lief i'll tie brutality of the sport. md
wrote in his Basilccn Boron: "From
this court dcbar all rough and violent
exercises as the football, Inectcr for lam
ang than making able the users there
Of Barclay in his Fifth Ecloguc, dated
1905, had these lines:
Tie 3turdic piowman. lus,ic strong and bold.
Ovcrcomcth the winter with driving tho foot
ball,
Forgetting lnborr and many gricvous fall"
The poet Waller scores it thus:
AS when sort OF lusty shepherds try
Ihcir force a football: care of victory
Makes them salute 50 rudcly, breast 10 breast
Ihat their encounter seems too rough for
Jest"

Canada and Unclo Snm.

Fair Canada, u maiden sweet
As those with roses at their feet,
Stands half reluctant-cold, but fair
The cleaning snowiialics in her hair.
Behind her stream in frosty nights
Her ribbons of the northern lights,
Her cape the winds blow free and far
Is fastened With the Polar star;
Tho l'lciadcS arc diamonds fair
with which she pins her streaming hair,
AND thus with frcst-kisscd checks OF rose
Stands tic fair Maiden of the Shows.
And Uncle Sam has turned his eyes
Toward those DlushiEg northern skies,
And the coy, shivcring beauty there
seems very sweet and very fair
But lie Is patient and will bidc
Until she comes n willing bride,
And the Old Mother over the sea
Shall give her daughter willingly.
She need not through the coming years
Stand sobbing, weeping frozen tears,
but though she pouts and turns away
llc' wait for her to name the day.

Blessed Arc They,

Through silent paths and make them glad with

Ana faith scars higher than the poets dream:
Wrapped in the sunlight OF eternal day,
Blessed are they
Cod knows the patient souls who do His will:
Inc nourncrs who can suffer and be still.
Waiting in silence for Ills healing balm;
The meek, whose hands shall clasp the victor's

ISaby's Shoe.

buttercup, o birds nest,
Where's the prcttiest name for your
: wee and worn and empty birds nest
Baby's shoe
IT'S darling as daisy,
That rocks beneath the blue
And tender as q lullaby,
BaDy'S shoel
All eyes must dim or brighten
While they rest on you,
With smiling or with longing,
Daby's shoe
For in every crease and wrinkle
Lies loves holy dew
Or tenderness and sweetness,
Baby's shoei
And fairy unseen birdlings
In the chalicc coo,
wee and worn and empty birds nest,
Baby's shoc

Tho First Tooth.

bonny young king rules tho household at
home
Witha hand like j rose leaf as daintily furlcd,
Yet I've noticed that since his young maiestv's
An absolute monarchy's dawncd on our world
This tacc-thcrc's no power within it to trace,
This nose is too small for the nose of Il king
ana about him there clings such q winsome
young grace,
Yet he rules us each one with magical ring
This majesty lately has purchased a pcarl
OH such beauty and lustcr was nc'cr seen
before,
From Tie depths whclcc Pacilc's waves shin
I'M; uacurl
To the far lndia's strands and the rich Singa-
pore.
His mother exhibits II day after day,
ANA prortiy we echo the wonderful truth
That ntcr ansh y baby has ever held sway -
And 10 child ever owned such a beautiful
tooth
