We who complain of hoops and whip
ping tops and other games played in
the streets, to the annoyance of foot
passengers, may congratulate ourselves
that football is no longer to be reck-
sned with these I'm winter" we are
told by an old writer, football is a
useful and charming exercise. 1t is a
leather ball about as big as ones head,
filed with wind" We do not know if
this description is intended to be hui
morous. This is kicked about from
one to another in the streets by him
that can get at it, and that is all the
art of it." concludes this disparaging
writer, who thinks so little of our
heads and our games. There is an old
print extant of football players in the
Strand in 1730, all in hats, coats and
wigs. This sport among the traffic
lends new significance to the words
of the Lancashire poet, ITO play at log
gets, nine holes or ten pinnes; to try It
out ct footballe by the SHINES" -LoG-

AnG when I'm laid low and my body's
at rest,
Place a box on my grave, it's my
hearty request;
Tia, my friends may ali sec when
they come for reflection,
Tha, | can't rest in peace without a
collection:
Moneys my creed and ! won't pray
without il,
And Heaven III close to all that may
doubt it;
Fr the quntescence of all my earth
1y religion,
Is to pluck my dear friends like you
would a fat pigeon.
Ny pay may be hundreds or thous-
ands a year,
While those that I pluck may be
without a cheer;
But my box and my bag must be fill
ed with your gold,
Or III pray that my God may damn
your poor soul.
I must have carriages, horses, ser
wants and all!
As I'm not going to walk like Petes
and Paul;
Nor do like John did; live on locust
and honey,
So open your purse and down with
your money.
Fools sometimes ask what I do with
my money,
They might as we'll ask what Bees
do with their honey;
And I answer them all with a wink
and & nod,
THAT I keep Just three-thirds, and
give my praises to God"
In the cold silent clay I may soon
hide my face,
From the suckers I've plucked and
the God I've disgraced;
Where I'll slumber in peace till the
great resurrection,
But then look out, boys, for a general
collection.

HIM DOWN.
a Practica: Joke That Was a Boom
erarg to the Woodsmen.

There is nothing that so cheers the
heart OF the lumbe-nan as to play a
practical joke on one whom he calls
a "greenhorn.' or. III other words,
any one unused to the ways Of a lurn-
Der camp. One Of the harshest and
most dangerous. although it is the
most admired, writes Charles G. D.
Roberts in around the Campfire"
is that known as "chopping him
down."
This means, in a word, that the
stranger in camp is invited to climb
a tall tree to take observations or en-
joy a remarkable view. No sooner
has he reached the top than two or
three vigorous axnen attack the tree
at its base. Long before he can
reach the ground the tree begins to
topple. As a general rule the heavy
branches so break the fall of the tree
that the victim finds himself uninjur-
ed. There are cases, however, where
men have been crippled for life.
Mr.. Roberts gives an experience OF
his w which did not come out
actly as the lumbermen expected. He
had climbed into a magnificent pine
tree one day. No sooner was he two
thirds up the tree than the lunbermen
set to work to chop him down."
Il thanked them for their atten-
tion," he writes, land climbed a few
feet farther up to secure a position
which I saw would be a safe n for
me when the tree should fall. AS I
did so I perceived, with a gasp and a
tremor, that | was not alone in the
tree.
There, not ten feet above me,
stretched at full length along a
branch, was a huge panther. From

For I-wish you to know that my am
billions are high;
NV ideas are higher than steeple or

OF the church that I serve or the sim

Bot I turn a deaf ear to their sorrow
and grief;
And insist that they fill my box

As I dwell long and loud or the

And use it to help only, my poor wife

Pounds, shillings and pence are all
that I crave,
From my first step on earth to the
