Games Help to Form Life to Great
/. s.! Extent, Says Writer. :@l
Concerning the educational value OF
games there can be no question, but
the points in their favor as influencing
and benefiting national character and
national spirit are rarely SO strikingly
set forth as by DR.. Ware, the head
master of Elton, in C. B. Fry's Maya
zine. 49,: ...
DR.. Ware lays stress on the SUI
periority of games as opposed to the
cultivation of mere athletics. A ma
tons sports help in tracing the de-
velopment of the nations life, serving
as markers of progress. "Rowing,"
for instance, according to DR.. Ware,
shas played, as serious business, no
inconsiderable part in the great events
of human history, and yet as mere
pastime it is inferior to none,' says
DR.. Ware.
"And then, again, games are in
valuable in school life as teaching
mutual respect and self-restraint and
endurance, along with quickness and
observation and readiness of decision.
These stand them in good stead in
after life. Games help to form char
acter to a wonderful extent and l do
not know any means by which you
can so quickly arrive at an estimate
of human character, of individuality,
of personality, as you can by watch
ing people at games or engaged in
any sport that calls for endurance,
patience, celebrity of mind and body.
IF I had to lead forlorn hope
should like best to have with me some
of my old shipmates, some of the
steady and rusty men who never fall
ed in the supreme struggle of a uni
versity race. That is what is meant,
of course, by the hacllneyed old say
ing of the battles of England being
fought ON the playing fields of Elton.
1t is absolutely true. You get down to
the bedrock of human character by
means of. games. Any substitution of
technical gymnastics for games is in
advisable; the mental and moral be-
ing, quite as much as the physical,
loses immensely by such substitu'

Science of Onychomancy.

The latest science is, undoubtedly.
onychomancy, or the science OF read
ing the fortune from the finger nails:
According to the onychomancist, the
tiny white specks which come and go
on the nails are not the result OF
chance, but from them can be- read
1.-The past, present and future" These
innocent looking specks are almost as
difficult to decipher as the Tines On
the palm from which the palmist tells
us so much Their size, shape ard
position are all taken into account.
The specks nearest the tip Of the fin
ger relate to the past, those in the
center to the present and those on the
half moon to the future. AS in palm.
istry. the right hand has to be read
in conjunction with the left But
feature which gives this science an
advantage over all it's rivals is that
these Hateful specks are constantly
coming and going. Consequently
number of readings at different times
must be given to reach an accurate
one. The revival of the science, for
it is really not recent one, is traced
to a foreign source. The consort OF
Continental sovereign came across
an onyehomancist at a well known
watering place and was so. delighted
at his aptitude in expounding the UNI
known that she insisted that he in
itiate member of her suite in all its
mysteries. He did SO, for a large con-
sideration, and the pastime has been
continued at the Continental court.

Connections Most Popular at Different

mo, we don't sell much beer in the
morning." remarked George Mitchell,
manager of downtown cafe. The
ante.noontime drinks are usually re-
-stricted to cocktails and straight whis-
kies. Early in the morning it is gen.
orally cocktails alone that we sell to
customers.
"These early drinkers don't seem to
want anything else,. and it is fact
that a. glass of beer in the morning
does seem little heavy and not quite
suited to the presumed needs of the
stomach. About 10 o'clock, however,
the demand for cocktails begins to
slow up little, and orders for Whls-
kies put in an appearance, gradually
increasing toward noon, when 1t
usually gives way quickly to the beer
orders. From that time on until or
9 o'clock in the evening beer is very
nearly the exclusive order of our Gus
toners.
1.-THE taste of the late evening trade
is decidedly wariegated, and it is hard
to say what class of drinks appears
to be the most popular, but it is a
noticeable fact that requests for
wines, such drinks as abslnthe, creme
de menthe, and 50 forth, are not made
frequently until about this time OF the
day. It is a curious thing the way
this taste in drinks marks certain por-
tons of the day, and have no doubt
that all men who are in a position to
note 1T have observed the fact much
the same as 1 have st. Louis Globe
Democrat.

FLATTERY wen Him
HOW CIRCUS MANAGER WORKED
~ ~ CLEMENT SCOTT. ~
Great Dramatic Critic, Pleased with
Praise of His Verses, Wrote 40
vance Notices for Rarnuna's Great
est Show on Earth" r.. ~

Clement Scott, the late English
dramatic critic, wrote verse in his leis-
ure moments. By this verse he is not
known, for his fame comes as one who
spoke the final word concerning the
merits of a play. He achieved a high
reputation through his power of crit
icism and his authoritative expression
OF it. Of this he cared less than for
his verses.
Frank Perley, the veteran circus
manager, found out this with goed~re-
suits for himself. Perley had charge
of "the greatest show ON earth" 1t
is of him that the STORY was told that
he stammered so badly that he had to
be the manager for Barnum and not
for Forepaugh, as he could pronounce
THE first name and not the other.
Perley took 'tthe greatest show" to
England. 1T was an event. He de-
termined that he would have notice
from Clement SCOTT, though his
friends in London told him it was i'm
possible. Scott would not condescend
to notice a circus. Perley made a
heavy wager that he would not only
get a. notice, but one in advance.
A woman told him that Scott wrote
verses, and that he was fonder OF his
poetry than of his dramatic criticisms;
that he had published them and sent
copies to his friends.
After this information the circus
manager called on the dramatic critic.
He aplogized for sending up his bust
ness card, saying that he had no per-
.sonal ones with him. Scott was icy.
Perley explained that he had not called
on business, but wanted to see the
man who had given him pleasure.
Then he talked Of Scott's verses with
enthusiasm He told him how as man
,ager of a circus he Travelled from one
end of the world to another, and; az
ways carried Scott's verses with him.
Scott was in a melting mood, and Per
ley recited his quatrains with feryor.
The next day the English public
sasped with establishment when it
read a brilliant advance notice OF
Americas "great circus" signed by
Clement -Scott.-Chicago Record-Her.
