running toward the house; he had
constituted himself Esperances cav

In few minutes he came back with
an unpromising- looking piece OF box
cord, and Esperance, with a dellghte,
exclamation, took II Isl her deft little
hands knotte1 some handles, and be-
gan to skip with a grace and agility
which fairly astonished them all.
Two minutes was enough for her
however.
Il am growing old" she said laugh
ingly, to Frances, and willingly gave
up the rope to Kathie, who tried a
feeble English imitation, good-na
turedly putting up with the uncompli
mentary comparisons OF the boys.
After that skipping became tn

she was giving a lesson to Kathie.

A LOST CHORD.
Seated one day at the organ.

Seated one day at the organ,
/ was weary and II, at ease,
And my fingers wandered idly
over the noisy keys.
l do not know what was playing,
Or what | was dreaming them
But | struck one chord of music,
Like the sound Of great Amen.
1t flooded the crimson twilight,
Like the close Of an Angels Psalm,
And it lay on my fevered spirit
With touch Of infinite calm.
1t quieted pain and sorrow,
Like love overcoming strife;
1t seemed the harmonious echo
From our discordant life.
1t linked all perplexed meanings
Into one perfect peace,
And trembled away into silence
AS If 1t were 10th to cease
| have sought, but l seek it vainly,
That one lost chord divine,
Which came from the soul OF the
organ,
And entered into mine.
4 may be that Deaths bright angel
VIII speak in that chord again,
Ii may be that only in Heaven
| shall hear that grand Amen.

Trade discussing the subject of British
trade before the Croydon Chamber of
Commerce this evening, said he regretted
to have to confess that the exports for
the year ended with October had de-
creased 100000 pounds, chiefly through
the alteration in the United States tariff.
Although" said Mr., Rtchie, 1--WE are
gradually making up the lee way, it is
impossible to help feeling of anxiety.
Although we ought not to be surprised
that we are being so rapidly over-hauled

THEY PLAY IN A SNOW STORM.
Pennsylvania Defeats Cornell by II to q
on n Field of Mud.

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov 24.-On Il
field of mud the University of Pennsyl-
vania football team this afternoon de-
feated the Cornell eleven by the score of
II to G.
1t is doubtful if ever ahgame has been
played under more unfavorable condi-
tions. both as To the field and the
weather. The wind which had been
blowing strong from the northeast near
ly all tay suddenly shifted to the west
a few minutes before the play started
and instead of the persistent driZzling
rain. snow storm of almost blizzard
proportions. set in and continued without
4 let-up until the game had been con-
cluied.
When the Cornell team trotted on the
field at 2:01 it was seen that Charlie
Young, who played such Il brilliant
game with the Comedian md White last
wear was in his football togs and was
down ON the card as one of the half
backs for the Ithica boys. This was a
big surprise to the Red and Blue fol-
lowers and also to the players, as no in
timation had been given that this star
player would participate in the proceed
ngs, and it may be added that while
Mr.. Charlie Young continued i'll the
game, he was Il tower of strength to
Cornell. He broke up the interference
and tackled like a fiend.
From spectacular point of view the
game was weary one to look at. The
wretched condition of the field made il
almost an impossibility to execute long
runs, and Coach Woodruff's famous
guards back formation was rendered
almost useless simply because the men
could not get enough solid foothold to
get under way and would fall with their
own efforts. Then, too, it was absolute
ly impossible to fprevent fumbling and
do accurate kicking. Cornelfs only
touchdown was due to bad kicking, made
possible by the slippery ball, and the
same can be said of Pennsylvania S
touchdown

EASY ToUCHDOWNS.


Hare's two dismal attempts at kicking
the ball out of danger when it was
within few feet o. the Red and Blues
goal line in the first half, caused the
first score, and G. Young's kick. which
went almost parallel with the yard lines
right into Hedges hands, was responsible
for Pennsylvania second touchdown.
Hedges had clear field and the touch
down was easy.
Both teams relied almost wholly on
straight football. Cornell tried fun
ny quarterback trick, but lost a yard.
and again tried run around Pennsyl-
vania's left end by giving the ball to
her own left end. thus trying to draw
Pennsylvania's left end in, but the trick
did not work.
Pennsylvania worked the delayed pass
successfully on two or three occasions.
and once tried the quarterback kick, but
lost five yards on the latter attempt.
Both teams seemed over-anxious to
get into the plays and were penalized
several times for their over-anxiety.
For Cornell, Sweetland, Starbuck,
Lueder and c. Young did the best work.
The former in particular, putting up Il
remarkable game.
Outland, Coombs and Hare were the
best ground-ga ainers for the Quakers.
but the two former, together with Car
nett and Gardiner, were guilty of some
wretched fumbling.
The rough weather had no apparent
effect on the attendance at the game.
AS early as / o'clock the enthusiastic
football cranks began to arrive and nv
O'Clock 10000 people were in the huge
amphitheatre
Neither did the severe storm damien
their ardor. for there was an@incessapt

was kicked off at 200 until time was
called for the end of the game.

Paris, Nov. 24.-The Spanish commits
