Such course is the only one to in

need be incurred by a league Of that
kind. Boys are not born ball players
but they are what methodical and
rigid practice make them. As good a

A Question of Feeling.

A mother noticed a remarkable change In the department of her 6-year-old son. From being rough, noisy and disoourteous he had suddenly become one of the gentlest and most considerate little fellows In the world. He was attending the kindergar- ten, and his mother naturally inferred that the change was somehow due to his teachers instruction.
 Miss Smith teaches you to be politep' she remarked in tone of interrogation.
 "No," said the boy; "she never says word about It..
 The mother was puzzled, and all the more when further questioning brought only more emphatic denials that the teacher had ever given her pupils lessons in good breeding.
 s'Well, then," the mother asked finally, "if Miss Smith doesn't say anything, what does she dof'
 "She doesn't do anything" persisted the boy "She just walks around, and we feel polite. We feel just as polite as as anything"
 That was all he could tell about 1t, and his mother began to see through the myt tsu.-EAHaA1anA Nswl

 In the crisis of the battle, when the Confederates were hurled back from the Henry house hill and a wild panic seized them, Johnston and his soldiers saved the day. It was then that Stone wall rallied his men and they stood inn movable. Beauregard and Johnston wore together animating the men by their personal presence. Beauregard or dered the flags of the regiments to be ad- forward. Taking the flag of the Fourth Alabama, regiment that had fought gallantly all day and lost every one of its field officers, they rode out to the front and waved it in full view of the routed troops. All was changed in an instant. Bee led ill his regiments one by one until he was killed. The movement ended in the recapture of the hill, and that ended the battle.
 There have been endless controversies among southerners about the generalship at Bull Run, but every northern general and every soldier under him had but one wish in it all, and that was that Johnston had kept out of it, according to the programme fixed up in Washing ton.
 The outcome of the Bull Run success was the union of Johnston's s army with Beauregard's, with Johnston as com mander. It remained in front of Wash ington, covering the road to Richmond, until Mcclellan transferred the Army of the Potomac to the peninsula in the spring of 1862. It was the handling of his army in that campaign which gave rise to the thought that Johnston was not aggressive. He planned one movement and attempted another fully the equal in boldness to any undertaken by his re- nowned successor, Lee. When McClel- lan's army was closing in upon Rich mond at the end of May, and McDowell was under orders to march overland from Fredericksburg to unite his 70, 900 soldiers with Mcclellan s 100, 900, John ston placed his troops in position to thwart the junction. He proposed to do it in the very manner pursued by Lee one month later, when he brought Jack son from the Shenandoah and rolled up McClellan's right wing under Fitz John Porter north of the Chickahominy. That blow of Lees had been called a master piece, yet Johnston conceived the same thing.
 The reason why he did not attempt it was that the situation changed while his troops were in motion. McDowell returned to Fredricksburg, taking away

 SYRACUSE, Dec. 2.-Passenger train No. 8 on the Delaware, Laokawanna and Western railroad, which left Syracuse at 10:10 last night ran into an open switch at Preble, ten miles from Cortland, and telesooped three freight cars. The engine of the passenger train was completely wrecked, and the baggage and mail oars and two coaches caught fire from the blaze under the wrecked boiler and were oon- stunned.
 The engineer, George Young was in- stantly killed, and the fireman, Webster Roof, was taken from the debris by the passengers in a dying condition. The sleeping car was the only one saved. No body was seriously hurt except the engi- neer and fireman. The baggage and mail were almost all saved. The freight station at Preble caught fire from the wreck and was burned.
 The switch at the scene of the disaster was found blocked. Somebody had tam pered with 1t with the deliberate intent evidently of wreoking the train.

 that element of danger. Furthermore. Mcclellan had thrust his left wing across the Chickahominy, reaching out for the passes to the James river and ap- preaching Richmond too close for the comfort of the nonoombatants there. It was a chance to strike a terrible blow to the army of the besiegers- The posi- tion of the Union army was stil further endangered by a rain which caused the Chickahominy to overflow its banks and turned the bottom lands into lakes that rose above the military bridges connecting the two wings of the army. With promptness and energy never surpassed Johnston hurled his forces upon the advance Union corps at Fair Oaks and Seven Pines and swept it from the field. But the clements that had wrought against the Union army also brought the enterprise of the Confeder- ates to grief. Ravines that had been dry were turned into deep rivers and fields of meadow and grain had become inn passable quagmires. Hours were con- stunned in passing troops by roundabout roads a mile, air line. The fighting of the troops brought up was terrible, and Johnston was everywhere in the thick of it. At the close of the day, while placing his line for a morning attack, he was wounded in the shoulder by 8 bullet, and at the same time torn from the saddle by fragment of shell Lee was called to succeed him, and from that time his fortune waned.

ALONG TIRE WAY OF LIFE.

When sorrows come st flood tide pace, Where hope and joy lie sleeping, Handmaids of grief and pain have place And hold the soul in keeping. When grim despair sits at the belm.
 Anear the breakers roaring, When waves of trouble fain would whelm Afar from haven or mooring. When tears no more from a loving eye Course down a cheek once ruddy, And hearts alarmed at the warning cry Respond with throbbings bloody, Sad, sad the day and drear the hour
 When hope sits faint and pleading, When the eye hath lost it's tearborn power, And hearts fall prone, unheeding. Then comes the time when life no more Holds fast the soul of sorrow, Which fain would seek an unknown shore, And another life tomorrow. Where tears no more unbidden start,
 And life has brighter skies, Where a contrite spirit and broken heart Our God will not despise. Clark W. Bryan in Good Housekeeping.
