One of the jokes that ex-senator Da-
Wis enjoys telling is about little girl
named Almon, who had been put to
bed alone, says the New York Times.
Presently she appeared in her night
gown at the head of the stairs, saying
plaintively:
I'm lonesome"
Her mother gave her favcrite rub
Der doll named Happy to take to bed
with her. but this did not seem to
please her, and in a few minutes she
again appeared with the same COM
plant. This time her mother remind
ed her that God was with her, and
sent her back to bed with a reproof.
Soon she was heard weeping bitterly,
and when her mother went to her little
Almon summed UP her sense of misery
by exclaiming:
Il don't want Happy, and l don't
want God; want somebody with a
skin face"

HOPKINS DEFEATS DENIsoN.
BY a Score of Five to Six. Kelly's
Error at Second Base Said to Have
Lost the Game to Des Moines.

Denison lost the ball game to Des
Molnes after hard fought battle, the
score ending five TO six in favor of Des
Moines. Up until the sixth inning
Denison was leading, when the visitors
made run and tied the score. At this
stage OF the game Kelly at second in
his haste to make a double play made
an error, and this is said to have lost
the game, Otto Faul and Howard
Wahl was the battery for Denison, and
both have good records to their credit.
The out side players with Denison
were Mccormick, Qdirk and Drussler,
OF Vail. Mccormick at first did sp,en-
did work while Quirk at third and
Drussler at short were fine. The one
feature of the game was Drussler steal
ing home with the Des Moines pitcher
looking him square in the face. Geo.
Vincent was umpire, and while he
seemed to favor the home players a
little, gave good satisfaction. The
attendance was good, and all felt that
they had their moneys worth. Denison
has some good material for first
rate ball team, some of the boys are
perhaps little young. but with some
good coaching they would make win
ners.

BASKET BALL.

An American Game With No uncer-
tainiy nv to Its Origin.
Basket ball as a ~recreatiye game is
unique in its origin for two reasons.
First. 1t is our one positively sure,
home American production. secondly,
the name, date and place OF its au
thorship are exactly known. Basket
ball wns born In the year 1891 ut
Springfield. Mass, and its author was
James Naismith. The story is short
enoughTt to be interesting. In that town
is a training school connected with
the Young Mems Christian associa
ton and Of course professors, among
them q professor Of psychology. who
Is paid TO teach the Young ideas how
to think effectively. In ii of his lee
lures lie called attention to certain on
'ditions upon which the brain could
with advantage be exercised and chal,
alenged his class to supply the require
ments to meet them. The conditions
were the invention of a new game
which could be played indoors in q
limited area by a defined and unaltera
Bile number of contestants and adapta
bic to both sexes Upon this hypoth-
esis one OF his pupils, James Maj
smith, the same night evolved basket
ball. 1t was put into practice the next
day experimentally and found to meet
the conditions and limitations laid
down by the professor admirably. But
II had more than an academic value,
as its spread as one of our most APP
preciated pastimes attests.-Illustrat-
