LITTLE ARMS.

LITTLE arms, 30 tightly clasped
Refund my neck at dead of night,
When some unexpected sound
Wakes my darling in alright.
DO you, guess your magic power
As each fear you mother Gains?
Do you know how strong you are,
Little arms?
Little arms whose tender touch
Bearer grows from year to year.
As to mothers love you turn,
Trusting her to dry each tear.
DO not fear that she will chide,
As, secure from all alarm,
You so fondly cling to her,
Little arms.
Little arms, IL in the years
You should reach toward her in vain
If no loving touch responds
Soothing all your grief and pain,
May the Father up above
Keep you from the sin which harms,
Drawing you close, close to him,
Little arms.

REIFF ALLOWED TO
RIDE IN CAESARWITCH
English Officials Decide Not to Notice

LONDON, Oct. 15.--After riding NJ.
Caillaut's Deux Pays in the race for the
Caesarwitch Stakes today, the stewards
of the Jockey Club, in the absence of any
official communication from the French
Jockey Club, decided not to notice the
suspension OF Jockey Johnny Reiif. and
in company of the American rider NJ.
Gallant and his trainer started for Paris
this evening Tomorrow NJ. Caillaut will
ask permission to examine the proof of
Reiff's guilt. If he is not satisfied that
his jockey is guilty he will endeavor to
secure his reinstatement NJ. Caillaut
told the correspondent of the Times
that the French stewards had kindly
refrained from sending out an official
notice of Reiffs suspension, thereby al
lowing him to ride in the race for the
Caesarwitch Stakes. NJ Gallant add
ed: Il have believed in him until the
present, but the stewards have assured
me that they possess absolute proof of
his guilt. Therefore | am obliged to be-
lieve it, yet l am going to Paris for the
proof. If this does not satisfy me l will
use every endeavor to secure Reiff's re-
instatement
Reiff refuses to talk at present. He is
awaiting the outcome of NJ. Caillaut's
efforts in his behalf.
Reiff finished fifteenth in the race to-
day.

MATCH GAMES between
EAGLES AND BUREAUS
Money Printers Lose Three Straight
Games to New Team of the
District League.

Two strong teams representing the
old District and the new Departmental
Bowling Leagues met last night on the
Golden Eagle Clubs alleys. The ole
organization won the full set of three
games. The winners were the Golden
Eagles and their opponents the Bureau
of Engraving team.
Both were entirely new ''fives." and
the match was "trying-out' of the
players. The scores show that they are
as strong as any teams which have toed
the foul lines this season, and both will
be factors in their respective leagues.
The Eagles first game (922) is one
of the best of the season, and with such
work as starter, the team will prove
one of the surprises of the champion
ship series. Lansdale has the credit of
making 202 average last night. at the
same time making 227 as the best sin
gle game. Pearson and Helmerichs each
picked the ST spare.
