Basket Ball.

The Normal and Baldwin High
basket ball teams met Saturday
evening at the Normal gymnasium
and played a fast, close and inter
esting game. At the end of the
first half the Normal team was two
scores in the leads to Is. Many
times the score was tie during the
game. The excellent team work of
the Normal won over the individual
PLAYING of their opponents.
Score-Normal, 26; Baldwin, 20.
Before the big" game the second
team of the Normal played a town
team from Baldwin. The former
team were for the most part new te
the game and were no match for the
cider and more experienced Bald
win team.

PREACHED FROM THE SADDLE.
English Country Parson Found Seat
Aid to Inspiration.

English Country Parson Found Seat
Aid to Inspiration.
Visitors to a quaint little church In
England observe a curious relic In the
shape of a high stool with a leather
top like a saddle. The paris clerk
shows not little pride in this relic
and tells its story with relish. During
the seventeenth and eighteenth CEN
turtles the country parsons were &C
customed to spend much OF their time
hunting with their country squires.
Oftentimes the fox got more attention
than the sermon on the following
Sunday. Such was the case with the
parson who left the saddle stool be-
hind him as a relic of the days Of fox
hunting parsons. He was a good deal
more at home in the saddle than in the
pulpit, so in order to introduce some
of the life and spirit into his dis
courses which he felt while in the
hunting field, the reverend gentleman
had this saddle stool made. 1t was
placed in the pulpit before the parson
mounted the steps. Once astride this
hobby, the parson was able to reach
a much higher degre of enthusiasm
and eloquence than he could have UNI
mounted.

BEAUTY OF CHEERFUL FACE.
Gloom Flees Before Power of a Glad
Expression.

Gloom Flees Before Power of a Glad
Expression.
How much of human life, it's dis
Quietudes sufferings, wearying cares
and its joyfulness may be learned
from studying the faces run across
in daily journeyings. Sometimes n
sorrowful expression in a face which
would otherwise attract no attention.
At other times a tranquil expression
the rarest OF all-gives a restful SEN
sation in these strenuous days OF fast
living. And the beauty of the cheer
full countenance! Even the saddest
of human beings is helped on step
through the gloom by a smile. Then
the joyous, merry face of childhood.
Laugh with the little children; do not
let the shadows reach them too soon;
give them an answering smile and en-
ter into their frolicsome moods.
Something is radically wrong with the
man or the woman who curls the lip
in scorn and discomfort, when a glad
face arouses no answering expression.
No, no. whatever the lot in life, rejoice
with those who do rejoice, and be
thankful there are such in the world
to keep souls fresh with the dew OF
youth. -Philadelphia Ledger.

THE USES OF RESPONSIBILITY.
Mere Work Not the Chief Thing in
C~tildren's TrStninu,

Mere Work Not the Chief Thing in
Ciildren's Training.
Every mother should remember that
the making of her daughter is of far
greater Importance than the admins
tration Of things in her home, and
every daughter should realize that she
can learn to avoid mistakes only when
she sees them. She enjoys most see
ing her mothers mistakes and resolv-
Ing that when she has house she will
never do So" A beginning may be
made with a small and comparatively
unimportant responsibility, suggests
Woman's Life, and it is to be remem-
bered that responsibility, and not
mere work, is the great thing. The
very little girl may have the care of
one plant, hardy one 10 begin with,
but system and neatness may be prac-
ticed in its care to great advantage.
If the plant should be a blooming one,
a small vase for the breakfast table
would give an additional bit of care
aud pleasure to both child and par
ents.

ence between the seasons of Judaism and Christianity which suggests that the same infinite mind Is back of both. The disciples to the number of 120 en- gagged in a protracted meeting. They had a definite end In view; namely, the promised enduement of power. It was the first instance of prayer offered through the mediation of Jesus. They asked the Father "in His name" Though answer was delayed from day to day, no suspicion arose, no crimtFa- tion or doleful hints were in 1ulgc1 In. The disciples waited and prayed, and were at length rewarded The result was the Church of the apostles, of which a picture Is given. Its features are these: It is composed of those who have given heed 10 the apostles message, and have submitted to the sign of baptism. They continue listen ing to the oral teaching of the apostles and prefer their company; they go to the simple meal of friendship and to the prayers Because of the distress of the hour they live the community life; gladness, singlenesS of heart ard praise are their characteristics. The Church of today may have the same traits as the Church of the apostles. In proportion as its individual members develop these characteristics, the whole Church will wear this image and have favor with the people. Waiting on God in prayer Is the means.

The laconic answer was Lit tie Miami" The inquirer responded, with enthusiasm, You don't say! Why this river rises on my brothers farm in Madison County" He seemed glad to see the stream again and note the size to which it had grown. So there stream of organized young life. This sixteenth anniversary day brings us to its banks once more. We know the fountain from which 1t has met, and the size to which it has grown. There are upwards of 30,000 chapters dnclud- ing the Juniors) and nearly two million members. Great biennial conventions have been held in Cleveland, Chatta- nooga, Toronto, Indianapolis, San Fran cisco, and Detroit. great volume of literature Is poured out for these young readers. The enthusiasm and achievements of this comparatively young organization are the admiration of all But it will not do to merely stand on the bank and admire. If the river is not fed it will runt out and leave its bed as dry as Sahara. No organization of any kind can live upon it's past The worth of the League is the worth of the individuals who com pose it now. The worth of the i'm dividual must be increased Sense of personal responsibility must be deepen ed, and all talents must be brought out of hiding.
