ENGLAND SLAVE 10 PING PONG
Table Tennis Played necessarily by
All Glasses of Society.
(chIcago Inter OCEAN,


Ping pong. or table tennis, which OBJ
tanned 2 certain vogue last winter, has
developed this year into a social craze
of overwhelming dimensions in London.
1t is played eyerywhere-in Peckham as
absorbingly as in Park Lane. 1t not only
is fascinating, but cheap, and is practi-
cable on any table of reasonable dimen-
lions. One London firm has sold 1000 900
sets. it is said. in three months. A ping
pong association has been formed, under
distinguished patronage, to make rules
and arrange championships.
Suburbia had a largely attended and eX-
citing tournament at the royal aquarium
last week. lasting six days. This week
BelgraVia had its more select competi-
ton in Queens hall. Some women have
attained extraordinary proficiency. At the
aquarium tournament one rally lasted
eighty-seVen strokes.
Walking along any quiet thorOughfare
in the west end or the suburbs of an
evening, you are bound to hear the ping
pong of the celluloid balls, on parch-
ment or string rackets, in almost every
other house. Bridge cards have been laid
aside motoring is neglected, the theatres
are abandoned, books deserted-even the
war is forgotten-in the wild delights OF
this new fad,

When Mark Twain Flunked.

LNeW OK IILltS.J
A few nights ago Mark Twain told to
some friends a story about himself which
he failed to incorporate in Life on the
Mississippi" On one occasion when he
started on a trip down the river on Z
fiatboat he was advised never to answer
the questions asked by rivermen on other
boats and never to handy words with
them. as he would be sure always to
come out second best. He followed the
advice religiously for time. but one
day he thought he saw a chance TO get
the better of a riverman who called out;
Hey. thar. what yer loaded with?'
'Jackasses. Don't you want to come
aboard?" yelled back Twain.
That's whut 1 reckoned, seem as how
they let Their biggest donkey hev Their run
Of the deck" came back Twain made a
dive below as all the rivermen in the
neighborhood set up a derisive laugh al
his expense.

GOODNESS BEFORE DANGER.

Nc NATTER who is held accountable
for the New York tunnel disaster.
in which fifteen lives were lost and
two-scOre persons injured last week,
some incidents of the wreck deserve a
place in history. One specially shows
the coolness in the face of danger
which is to be found in the breast of
every true American citizen Of either
sex. It happened a few minutes after
the crash came
Two young men were trying to rescue
a girl who had been pinned down under
a mass of wreckage. To reach her they
were obliged to throw mangled body
out of the way and then. all crimson
from head to heel. one of the men put
his arms around The girl to lift her
out Il beg your pardon" he said but
this is the only way
The young woman smiled, smiled in
the face of all the horror. as she re-
piled: This is certainly no time to
think of conventionalities. She smiled
again and said thank you" as she was
lifted through a broken car window.
Goodness such as this was not eXcep-
tional. Practically all of the victims
who were not beyond human aid ex-
hibited the greatest fortitude. They
waited patiently for the rescuers and
in several instances urged the workers
to 80 to the assistance of others.
Of stuff such as this is the American
nation MADE. Is it any wonder that it
has never been vanquished by foreign
power? And, while we thrill with hor-
rOr at the stories of great disasters.
we must also thrill with pride at the
behavior of our -countrymen.
However great the danger. however
severe the test, they rise grandly TO It,
dying, if need be. with accomplishing
lips.

There's an aureole that hovers
Round her lovely sunny head.

Angels have such gentle looks;

With her pretty cap and apron;
Smiling face and tender hand.

forty-eight pages. giving valuable infor-
