His First Day at School.
y HAIRY j. GREEN

She lost her little boy today;
Her eyes were moist and sweet
And tender when he went away
To hurry down the street.
She stood there for the longest while
And watched and watched him then
She said-and tried to force smile
He'll not come back again. I"
Inside the house, her tears would come,
She sank into chair
And sobbed above the battered drum
And trumpet lying there.
The sunshine stole into the place
1t only made ner sad
With thinking of the pretty grace
His baby treSses had.
She minded all his little ways;
She went to see his crib
Up in the attic; there to gaze
At platter, spoon and bib,
And all the trinkets he had thought
So fair TO look upon
Each one of them this murmur bro't:
My little boy has gone.'
She wandered thru the house all day,
To come on things he'd left,
And, oh, she missed his romping play
And felt herself bereft.
When he came home, with shining eyes
To tell of schools delight.
She kissed and held him motherwise
With something of alright.
This is the pain in mothers hearts
When school days have begun
Each knows the little boy departs
eAnd baby days are done;
Each mother fain would close her ears
And hush the calling bell,
For. somehow, in it's tone she hears
The sounding of a knell.

This and all other games In the city

The recent announcement that the

already advanced for change. The
only objection had been the seeming
inaccessibilIty OF the American League

The field is said to be better ADAPTED
for football than the Polo Grounds
Owing to the fact that building opera
tons have destroyed the practice grid

will do all It's practising at American
