Roller Ball-A Fine Winter Sport for Boys

a magnificent new game for boys espe-
cially. and also those of 2 larger growth,
is "ROller Ball" and clubs are now be-
ing formed in all parts of Massachusetts
and some few in New York city to play
the game. Briefly it is a species Of foot
ball, but Is played with the hands, and
therefore while giving every opportunity
for activity and display 1t is not so dan
gerous or so rough. 1t IS, however, no
girls game.
The ground on which it is played is a
field not less than 800 feet long by 100
feet wide, and it is marked off with white
wash so as to clearly define the outer
limits At each end is the ordin ry foot
ball goal posts and the ball is a large
leather ball like a football, but perfectly
round about Sc inches in diameter. and
weighing twelve pounds or more. In the
game this ball must not be kicked either
with the feet or the legs although If it
bounds which is very seldom, it may be
forced forward by the Intervention Of the
body, from which 10 will rebound. a
kick of any description counts two points
against the side kicking. Tackling be-
tween hip and neck is allowed and per-
sonal interference by placing the body be-
tween the attempting roller and the ball,
but no hacking" or running trip" is al
lowed, and only the player right at the
ball may be tackled. 1t will be thus seen
that the element of accident (of more
serious nature than a bruise or a slight
sprainD is reduced TO a minimum.
Eleven players for a side is the cor
rect number, but boys will play any
number and have fun. The two sides toss
for position, and then line up in the CEN
tire Of the field, each side ten yards dis
tant from the ball which lies IN the very
centre. The word is given by the umpire
and one boy from each side rushes at
the ball the others remaining motionless
until the ball is touched. These two start
the play, and the drst one 10 reach the
ball gives ii a "spat' with his hand TO
one side, or straight, as seems best, and
away go the rest of the players trying
to drive 1t, with their hands only, TO the
opponents goal or 10 a touchdown,
which is marked the same as in foot
ball.
The only scoring is a goal. I, or 10
touchdown, .. The latter gives the right
to punt for goal ana then the players
arrange themselves as in football, ex-
cept that the punting side select their two
tallest men, and these Two hold the ball
high in the air between them. while the
most skilful player on their side takes d
short run, and with his hands knocks
the ball from their hands over the cross
bar. The game is played in ten halves,
with five minutes intermission between
each half, and II will be found that this
time Will give all the play the average
player can stand. IL is hustle from start
TO finish-not childs play, but full of
magnificent energy and strategic expert

An Explanation.

A cautious glance more eloquent
Than volumes spoken openly
BY accident got tangled up
Within his hearts machinery;
And. strange TO say 1t somehow broke
The chain that bound his stubborn pride,
Destroyed the little fortress Of
Suspense, and loOsed the swollen tide
OF feeling. Then there was a pause
4 painful silence: face to face
They stood. and finally there came
a mutually passionate embrace.
\ sigh. then whispered gently he:
Now, sweetheart, won't you tell me why
1t was that when / came around
You always seemed TO he so shyT
why. yes" she said. when pride alone
Attains TO such lofty place
II makes man bite OFF his nose
For nothing but to spite his face.
l really think it's time to be
A trife difiident; and then.
While woman's rights are well enough,
Loye-making should be done by men"

Take q Few Doses of Prevention-How 30

How prompt most people are TO call
on the doctor rs soon as the first
symptoms of disease manifest them
selves. II they would only show the
same pre- aptitude in forestalling the
rnalady they would be much better on.
OF course, this, as well as the saying
IAN ounce OF prevention Is worth q
pound of cure" has become trite. and
yet the great majority still persist IN
shining against our kind me Their, nature.
IL II were the result OF unblamaplc ig-
Iorance we would say nothing, not
withstnnding that about "ignCr rance OF
the law excuses no one" but when day
after day people have thrust before
them the laws and precepts or health.
and the ignorance cannot be excused
and becomes sinful. I'm time of peace

lily as elsewhere.
There Is another warning Nervous
force is lifc; nervous force is generated
in the brain, the spinal cord, and the
nervous matter scattered everywhere
throughout the body. Every organ may
be healthy. but if there be not boun-
tiful supply of nervous force OF good
quality none of the vital functions Will
be properly performed incauding the
function of resistance to disease"
Doctors arc endeayoring to discover the
mysteries of health and sickness, often
times they are giving their lives to II
and not always with the hope Of pecu-
MARY reward, merely to benefit human
ity, to do good. In view of this 1t is
disheartening. to say the least, to see
the gifts they have poured into the lap
OF the people, thrown away as il 1t were
the YerIest rubbish.
Let IL not be understood tnat 1 am
here TO praise the doctor. Far be 1t
from me to do so. His reward is evil

brought themselves 10 a condition verg-
ing on disease. 1t goes without saying
then, that unless they call a halt, and

necessary for healthy growth and de-

themselves 10 life worse than death.

them for the hardships and struggles
common 10 us all. Although this class
of cases, because of their lowered vital
ity and lack of physical resistance, are
especially predisposed 10 the onset OF
disease yet it becomes almost an alb

as the feeble, who live in our crowded
cities and amid civilization, to observe

health Of the individual is TO be main

life. but to the first period OF our ex-

HOW TO KEEP WARM.

IL IS they who sit indoors all day and
who hug the fire most closely that COM
plain the Eost of cold. Some one has
well said IAN absolute essential for the
proper performance of any junction or
the body is the use thereof, and the
heat-producing function Is no exception
to this absolutely universal rule."
A piece of mechanism, simple or ccm-
pick, If allowed to remain Idle, rusts ana
in time becomes useless. If 1t be Kept
well oiled and in motion, it will per-
form it's work satisfactorily, provided 1t
Is not abused.
SO with the body. Well directed efforts
tend to keep IT in health. | don't mean
to say that it will never wear out. Per-
petual motion has never vet been dis
covered, and the body is as subject TO
decay as any other piece of machinery.
But, If we wish to keep warm, We must
be active; passvity does not accomplish
it. What sight is prefer, more health
inspiring than a boy or girl walking IN
aglow from the exercise? There iS no
pity, or should be none, for the one VINO
is sitting by the fire and is continually
saying: How / envy him or her, his
or her complexion" The remedy Tor the
pale face, for the cold feet and body Is
within easy reach. All one needs TO do
is to grasp it.. There is no fruit of Tan
talus about this.
Use your machinery clothe yourself
warmly and get a move on you," and
keep moving

Cuban waters, and As men, comes the
news of the wreck of the Spanish war
ship Christobal Colon, a second-class
cruiser of 1900 tons displacement and
1000 horse power.
The CristObal Colon
formed part of the fleet of Spanish war
ships detailed to watch the coast OF
Cuba, in order to prevent the Landing OF
filibustering expeditions from the
United States and elsewhere. The
cruiser carried four 12-centimetre Homo
toria guns, two 7-centimetre guns and
two rapid fire guns Her crew is esti-
mated to have numbered about 200 OIL
GERS and men, but the exact figures are
not known here at present, as she had
on board men intended for the smaller
patrol vessels of the Spanish fleet, and
may have detailed men ashore.
Was Watching the Coast.
The station of the Cristobal Colon was
the waters about Cape Antonio, off the
western extremity of the island of Cuba,
her commander having particular in
structions to watch the gulf OF Cor
rentes and Guadiana. south and north
of Cape Antonio. The disaster occurred
off Colorado point, in the gulf of Guadi-
ana, south of the town of Mantua, in
the province of Pinar del Rio, near
which territory Havana is situated
The exact details of the disaster have
not yet been made known, but it is said
she was driven on Colorado Reef by the
fury of a cyclone raging in those waters.
All the crew and officers were taken OF
the wreck, which is now pounding to
pieces on the rocks. e
There are, of course, many rumors
that the boat was blown up by rebel
torpedo, but this is not generally cred
ited There is, however, no doubt that
the government has not given out all
the facts in the case.

Walks and Talks With Our
Advertisers.

The man who takes the lead has the
best chance to maintain it. Commence
advertising before the season opens. Get
your dam ready, so that when high
water comes you are prepared to take
care oft.
Advertising knowledge costs money
and study and the ability to discrimi-
nate Each year reveals mistakes in the
little details of previous years, but
knowledge gained as result of experi-
ence is a power
Advertising saves time-hence length
ems life. The buyer is saved searching
for what he wants, and the seller finds
the quickest markets for his goods. The
human mind needs the stimulus of the
suggestion contained in effective adver-
Using.
Marshall Field, the great dry good
merchant ofChicago, before committee
of the Illinois legislature, said that one
OF the chief agencies which enabled him
TO reach his present leading position in
the business world was liberal and hon.
est advertising. The chairman asked
him this direct question:: ''Do you find
that advertising on large scale in the
newspaper helps your business?" lido.
We have one rulein advertising, never to
advertise anything but the solid truth:
therefore don't suppose that we gain for
the moment as largely as those that lie
and exaggerate; but in the long run we.
come out ahead"
L is plain fact that judicious adver-
Using is sure to reapits reward, and the
only way is to constantly keep your
advertisement before the public "Life
is short and consequently your notices
should rot be too crowde., but so ar
ranged that the reading public can at a
glance, be able to read it.
Hon. P. T. Barnum, the world re-
nowned Snowman, often stated in pub
lie. "Were it not for the newspapers
and printers ink, l could not exist" He
spent an immense fortune in advertising
each year.
You will be wise if you do not fill your
adv. with small reading matter. Let the
wording be such that the readers can
tell at a glance just what you are pre-
sentine to them. MANY are the people
7 who will not take the time to read an
adv. that contains a very great amount
of reading matter. This is a pointer
| that has proved true, nine cases out of
ten. The secret of successful advertising
depends largely upon the display or at
tractiveness of your advertisement. Tell
the truth in as few words, and in as
''catchy" a form as possible and you
| will impress the readers with desire
| to visit and trade with you.
