English Workmen for Tennis Courts

English WOTkfNSH TOT ennis COurlS,
English workmen, for the second
time in the history of the building CT
tennis courts in this country are to
be brought over here soon to assist IN
and squash courts planned by the
Myopia club, of Hamilton, Mass. II is
expected that the cost of the plant,
constructed according to the latest
English plan, will be about $50, 900.
One of the features will be a floor o.
patent cement, which is made in Eng
land This special kind of floor was
first introduced in tennis courts in
this country in the building of the
new courts of the Tuxedo Tennis anu
Racquet club that were finished in
FEBRUARY last. Workmen from Eng
land at that time were imported to lay
the cement, because Of their special
knowledge of it. The floor has been
quite satisfactory to the members o.
the Tuxedo club. as it well suits the
style of play of Mr.. Clarence H.
Mackay and other clever experts VINO
are members Of the organization.
The Myopia courts will be situated
alongside the present clubhouse, over
an area of more than 1000 square feet.
The dimensions will be 4Ox100 feet.
The woodwork will be hard Georgia
pine, highly polished. In addition to
these tennis courts there will be a
large squash court, bowling alleys anu
swimming pool.-NeW York Herald.

Animal Instinct in Winter.

With many forms of life the read1-
ness for winter is not to secure a place
to protect them from cold or even
from freezing, but for securIty against
sudden changes Of condition and of
temperature. 1t is protection in
some cases similar to that Of the
plants on the lawn that were covered
with straw by the gardener when he
made them ready for winter In some
places Of the kind-for instance, in the
squirrels nest-there is undoubtedly
real animal warmth and coziness.
Fish seek the deepest part of pools,
where the temperature of the water is
little above freezing and where it re-
mains very near this point until
spring.-St. Nicholas.

PREcEPTs Of DEcALoGUE
Intended to Be Learned by Children in
Reggie, Italy.

Reggie, Italy.
A new ten commandments, which the
people of Reggie, in northern Italy, have
lately adopted, is of wide interest. This
new, decalogue is not primarily fer
gr6wn-ups, but for the children Of the
town, and 1t is expected that the little
folks will, in their schools, learn the ten
rules by heart, says Golfers Weekly;
Love thy sehoolmates, for they viii
be thy co-workers for life.
Love knowledge, the bread of intei.
Iect. Cherish the same gratitude 10
ward thy teachers as toward thy father
and mother.
Make every day thou livest the occa-
sion for some good and beneficial deed,
always SOW the seeds of kindness.
Honor good men and true women, es-
TEEN all men as equals, bend thy knee
to no one.
Do not bear hatred to anybody; don't
insult people. The word revenge shall
not be in thy vocabulary, but stand W
for thy rights and resist oppression.
Don't be a coward; stand by the weak
and respect and love justice.
Remember that all goods of this world
are the products of labor. Whoever
takes the good things of this world
without giving their equivalent in labor
robs the diligent of their just dues.
Exercise thy mind; observe and think
and try to ascertain the truth of all
things. Believe in nothing mysterious,
in nothing unreasonable; use no decep-
ton either toward myself or others.
DO not assume that to be patriotic one
must hate other nations or glory in war.
War is a relic of barbarism.
Let 1t be. thy purpose in life to hasten
the day when all men, as free citizens
of a free state, shall live in peace ano
happiness, in true brotherhood.

She quietly folded the newspaper and

half inclined to go back. But the

The door was opened by a motherly-
hooking old lady, who conducted her up
TWO flights of stairs and showed her
Mr.. ,Jeffrey's room. Marion paused out
side the door for an instant, wondering
what her mother would say, her LADY,
like mother, who did not think Marion
would lower herself to work. "Well, i

She entered a small, nicely furnished
room, with a piano in n corner and a
violin resting on the table. 1t was a
medium sze piano of a German make,
AND by striking a few chords she found
that ii had a deep, sweet tone. Now
that she had arrived so far all her fear
vanished.

said. while she was selecting some mu'

"Bur stfeH' playing! Ii fairly set my

The piece he placed upon the piano
WAS B%eethoven,s Moonlight Sonata"

of her .fayorites and she had played II
many times. He observed the look and
smiled. you are familiar with this?'
"Oh, yes" she answered, Il am very
fond of IT,"
They played it through, and when
they had finished 1t he praised her
warmly. cit is such a relief to hear
good music. If you had been through
what l have to-day you would sympa-
khlze with me-"
After they had arranged the time
and none and Marion had started to
go, she turned back and asked Mr..
Jeffrey if he would keep her name prl-
vate, as her mother objected 10 having
her work. and she did not wish her to
know of ii.
Your wishes shall certainly be re-
spected,p he replied.
All. the way home Marion thought of
the young musician. His frank, open
countenance, his fine eyes and, above
all, his exquisite playing haunted her
strangely. She went each day to his
studio, and they both thoroughly enjoy
ed their music. He finally visited Mar
ion with his violin and they played To-
gether all the evening, much to the
pleasure of Mrs. Dudley. After that he
dropped in frequently and they spent
many pleasant evenings together. Little
by little she learned that he lived in one
of the small Western towns and had

her all his hopes and ambitions, and
she cheered and encouraged him when
his courage failed.
One day when Marion went to bis
grudio she found 1t deserted. Thinking
that he had gone out for a few minutes
and would be right back, she sat down
and began to read. Ten minutes passed
by, and still he did not come. She go
up and went over to the piano. Fasten

message:

When Senator Pettus, of the Senate
judiciary subcommittee, having in
charge the trust legislation, looks
gravely over his spectacles at papers
one gets a flash of the power that gave
him his seat In the Senate. An old
Alabamian told me the story In this
wise. For years ,Pettus had been a
prominent political leader. He was an
intrepid master of politics in the criti-
cal. days of the zoe. Hewould never ac.

for his loyalty to his friends. During
the Cleveland administration. a Federal
judgeship vacancy occurred and, as
