High school Foot Ball Championship.

The final game in the High School foot
ball championship series will be played to-
morrow at the National Base Ball Park.
The games this year in the High School

teams are evenly matched, and the games
have been conducted IN a business-like
manner. The result has been a large at

the regular High School following. Several
of the Eastern players who have been on
the hospital list are again In the game,

ny OF their own. Now, when a man in
vents toy for child, he gets us some
thing that winds with a key. Say you
buy the toy on Wednesday: Friday
morning the key cannot be found high
nor low. But that doesn't make. any
difference, for the baby broke the toy
or Uncle Henry stepped on it when he
was looking for a match Anyhow,
when the baby saw the mechanical
mouse running straight at him it
scared him so that he set up a howl,
and it was half an hour before he
quieted down again. But, OF course,
his mother and Aunt Allie put him up
TO that. Women are afraid, of mice.
The baby would like it all right enough

what the baby does like is a rag doll

the baby wants for a toy doesn't count

what papa thinks the baby wants, and
what the editor thinks the people want

A LITTLE ESSAY ON TOYS.

Speaking of toys, although women
know better than men what will please
a child, they rarely make much money
out of their inventions in this line.
This is said to be because they haven't

Men have these gifts, and women
haven't You must have noticed that.
Of course, it sometimes happens that a
woman is left a widow with four little
children, and they get along much bet

knows that it simply proves the rule,
which is that women are meant to be
bright and beautiful creatures to cheer
