little boys and girls Of the neighbo;
hood; and Mr.. and Mrs. Brewster will
be here, and young Mr.. Moon; have
leE them into the secret. You will tell
the children to hang their hosiery in
the north room, and inform them that
you have reason to believe that they
may see Santa Claus if they sit up and
keep perfectly still; at the proper time
I'll ascend the roof and slide down the
chimney; it is just large enough for
the purpose. And | guess that's all"
During the balance of the evening,
until o'clock, there was a great deal
of active preparation in progress in
the Bell mansion; the north room was
tidied, and a semi-circle of chairs
placed for the expected guests, who be-
gan to arrive at the stipulated time.
Mr.. Bell was in a fine frenzy of excite
ment; he declared to his wife in d
whisper, that he felt like a boy again:
and she replied that she was ten years
younger than she was before he I'M
folded his delicious scheme. By half
past nine all the guests, large and
small, were in their places; Mr.. Moon,
young man who had been studying
law for ten years, and who hoped soon
to be admitted to the bar, sat next to
Miss Rose, upon whose hand he had
serious designs, and his efforts to ap-
pear at ease were amusing and in
structive; Mr.. Brewster, who was
small and timid looking, nestled beside
his wife. who was massive and had q
bass voice; silence brooded over the
throng until Mr.. Bell, who was given
to speeches, went into another att
tude, and said:

/. Prof. c. A. Hyatt visited the Index
last Friday. Prof. Hyatt is principal Of
the Isabel schools and very efficient m
shuctor. The Index is doing its best to
have him retained in the profession and
feels hopeful Of success. In September
Of the present year small gang Of poll
6cians IN this county lured the Professor
high up into the mount and had him to
gaze through false tense down upon
the beauties Of the legal profession.
The temptation was too much for him
and he gave way to man. weakness and,

the tempter. The result IS thathe Is now
a candidate on the republican ticket, but
we trust that he VIII yet be saved and to
that end recommend that the voters do
not burden him with their votes next

become de6led by becoming too inti-

GOLF.

AS the goInng season approaches, the caddy
question, which has ever been vex1ng one
must be solved by those clubs which have not
settled on some fixed and definite plan for ham
ding these precocious youngsters. which, strange
as it may seem, can all but make or mar round
of the links. good caddy is worth almost his
weight in gold while poor caddy is constant
and irritating source Of annoyance. Much de-
ponds on the handling of the boys. and to this
end good caddy master is the essential thing.
In talking of this subject few days ago well
known golfer said:
1t seems TO me that the best and surest way
to insure good service the links. which is
quite as important as good service at the table.
If not more SO. II one has any CONSCIENTIOUS
scruples about "cussing," IS for the clubs to get
a competent caddy master, whose duty It shall
he TO give the bows a certain amount of instruc-
ton each day, as long as IL is necessary IN
the matter of what TO do, or, better yet, what
not TO do when carrying. Some youngsters are
apt pupils, while others are slow to learn and II
is these which need particular instruction Inc
players should then do their part by reporting
the delinquent ones and advising the caddy
master of their failngs, so that proper PUNISH
ment could be melted out or more instruction
given as the case might be. A good caddy
master invested with the proper authority
no1,Id do much TO improve conditions and pre-
vent the strikes which occasionally cause trouols
and confusion
The players themselves are oftentimes TO
blame for poor service On the links. Some are
impatient and hard to please. while others en-
courage the boys in infractions of the rules for
their own selfish reasons. Nothing perhaps, is
so vexing as to lose ones ball when the winning
of match may depend on IT, 10 say nothing OF
the cost which is worth considering. The caddy
may have good reasons in his own mind for not
finding IT. He come back later and get It,
knowing that some other player Will pay him
II or 20 cents for II. Most clubs have now
nassed a hard and fast rule agains: this prac
tice. but for all that. there are SONS VINO

HOCKEY SEASONS WIND-UP.

Rarely before in the history of the Amateur
Hockey League has the fight for the champion
ship been close and well sustained. The
schedule was completed last Tuesday when the
New York Athletic Club team by defeating the
Hockey Club of New York in a hard fought
match finished up the season with four victories
and two defeats and thereby earned tie with
the Crescent Athletic Club. The tie will be
played off Wednesday in the Clermont Ave-
nue. Rink, in Brooklyn. 1t promises TO be a
stubborn determined fight, the two sevens
are we'll matched and the rivalry between them
is particularly keen. The Crescent team is a
slight favorite among the hockey enthusiasts
but the New York Athletic Club has a host of
followers, who are quietly confident that their
seven win bring the coveted title to this side
OF the bridge. comparison of the two teams
throws little light on the subject. Both play a
fast aggressive game and there is little to choose
between them in the matter of defensive pIay
favor of the Crescents, but this cannot carry
much weight. the strongest kind of team play
will be necessary TO earn a decision under the
circumstances. The Crescent seven deserves
much credit for being in the forward position
II now holds, in midseason the chances did
not look bright for championship honors The
team pulled itself together however. and in the
latter games played the kind of hockey that Was
expected OF 1t. The Mercury Foot seven lost a
clear title TO first place in the game with 81
Nicholas, which IL seemed should have been a
victory. The attendance at the coming rarpa
viii be limited only by the size of the rink MANY
Will be disappointed in not being able TO get in
the building, and those who do get seats 20 N
count on rare treat.
