HINDU PARABLE

The same good gifts God sends to all;
On fair and foul his blessings fall.
Upon the sea raindrop fell;
pearl was born within q she'll
A second drop rosebud caught,
And thence the bee sweet honey brought.
As pure a drop at random flung.
Was death upon the adder's tongue.
Z The same good gifts; Oh tell me- friends,
What will We do with what he sends!

Yesterdays Game.

. - o+opn u1Seu IL UeHdlI OF IOoL-
ball-T he journal has probably ad-
vanced the same plea-that it is a
good dlsclplinarian. The drill and
practice and then more practice, the
distinction Of being chosen for the
team, the necessity of cooperating
with others under orders as well AZ
possibility of being required to decide
upon the instant upon a course of in
dlv1dual action-all this molding and
training is supposed to make of the
subjects examples of self-control, nerve.
courage, skill, quickness of choice. and
general resourcefulness, fit for emerg-
encIes and masters Of their level best
the instant it is called for. If football
can do that for a man, it IS good thing,
and it is generally commended that that
is what it does. 49,
But sometimes it doesn It. It didn It
yesterday. The first three minutes of
play on Northrop field yesterday it
looked as if the Minnesota team had an
easy job. but suddenly and for some
unaccountable reason, the situation
changed. The visitors proved them
selves capable of holding the home team
and the work of the latter began to
deteriorate. Repeatedly they tried to
recover their accustomed form, but
never with success. AS the game pro-
crossed their play indicated more and
more the inability of the Minnesotans
to pull themselves together. Men who
had played week ago almost without
an error and aroused the highest en-
thusiasm of their partizans were almost
useless. It wasn't Minnesota g game
at all tho there was every incentive to
play it yesterday if ever. The defense
of the Minnesota goal was SO very I'M
like that to which we have been accus-
toned that too much can easily be said
in favor of the play of the visitors.
This IS not to detract in any respect
from the credit to which they are en-
titled for playing good football, but if
they had been up against anything that
resembled in any particular the usual
Minnesota form Of play their perform
ance would have appeared less brilliant.
What We started out to say is that
yesterdays game did not furnish in
the Minnesota team a good example
of the disciplinary value of football
as game. At the same time, yester-
days game exhibited some of the
phases in which the new game is an
Improvement over the old. Not so
many men were hurt; there was less
loss of time on that account and the
more open playing seems to afford
fewer opportunities for undetected
rough play.
This must be said for the home team,
that it is its first and will doubtless be
its only defeat Of the season. It was
matched against about the best the
east has to offer in the way of foot
ball and we are still inclined to believe
that If another game were to be played
the Minnesotans would at least hold
their own. We have a great team;
they have proved it. Yesterday they
were victims Of a fit Of panic and de-
moralization which sometimes explains
defeats where there is more at stake
than the crossing of football goal.

yALUE OF LITTLE THINGS.

From waste paper alone one rail
road last year realized $4,000. Pins,
pens, nails, old brooms, bottles, tim
Cans and wornout machinery of all
sorts are gathered up along the route
by all the railway companies and
turned into money. Even the ashes
are sold or utilized for improving
the roadbed. The greatest corpor-
tions In the world are not above tax
ing care of the fractions of pennies.
The railway scrap-heap of the coun-
try last year reached the value of
81 ,250,0O0-a most respectable sum
of money, notwithstanding it came
from picked pins and paper, old
nails and old brooms. Waste forms
one of the most vital questions in eco-
nomics, not alone for railroads and big
manufacturing plants, but for every
household. 1t is impossible, of course,
for any very great sum to be realized
in the saving of waste in household.
And yet the usual waste of any home
is relatively far greater than that of
a railroad.-Chicago Journal.

GOVERNOR SWANSON'S PLANS.
Not Dodging offce-seekers.


Governor-elect. Claude A. Swanson
has mapped out his plans for his inaugu-
ration as Governor on February 1st, and
the ceremonies will be simple to de-
gree.
Gov. Swanson will go to the Capitol
on Thursday morning, February 1st, and
after exchanging greetings with Gov.
Montague will proceed to the hall of the
House of Delegates, where ne will. in
the presence of joint session of the
Legislature, take the oath of office be-
fore Judge James Keith, president of
the Supreme Court of Appeals.
The new-Governor will then deliver
brief inaugural address, which will con-
cisely outline the salient features of his
administration. After the ceremonies
in the House, he will go to the mansion
and receive the members of the General
Assembly, the state and city officials,
and such citizens as may desire to call,
between the hours of 2 and 4P. M.
The entertainment at the mansion
will be in the natnre of a buffet lunch
con, and it is likely that great many
prominent people will call to wish the
Governor and Mrs. Swanson a happy
life in the mansion and His Excellency
successful administration. The pub
lic eye in Virginia is naturally turning
toward the new administration, and
there is a growing feeling that Cover
nor Swanson is going to make an ag-
gressive, clean-handed and popular ex-
ecutive.
81 haven't been dodging office-seek-
ers, said Governor-elect Swanson when
he appeared at the Capitol, after an abb
sence of some days." I have been
in Richmond and at my home at Chat
ham, arranging for an absence of four
years. My presence at home on the
eve of such a long absence was impera-
tive. ! am not going to evade seekers
after positions nor their friends. I
realize that seeing them is duty of
the position am to take, and / shall
discharge this along with all others of
the office.
81 shall be glad to discuss with nv
friends, and with those who seek APP
pointment, the situation generally.
Such discussion can but tend to the good
of the public service.''
Probably all save one or two of the
Virginia representatives will go down
from Washington to attend the inau-
gural ceremonies. Both the senators
are expected to be present. Washing

SILENCE.

When an idle tale is told you
OF some one that's gone astray,
Or some one who was respected
That now treads the downward way,
Do not Judge, or tell the story,
Let your ears hear not sound,
But, as Jesus did when with us,
Write in silence on the ground.
Every story, when repeated,
Like rolling SNOWFALL grows;
Every one just adds letter;
Friends may pass it on to foes.
1t was bad enough when started,
Now it scarcely has bound
Better all We're deaf to scandal
Write in silence on the ground.
If you find man has fallen,
Gently take him by the hand;
Brush the earth stains from his gar
ments:
Do not stop to reprimand.
Close your eyes upon his error,
Other men may drag him down,
Seal your lips when others question,
Write in silence on the ground.

interesting matter, but none more inter-

OF papers on the greet horned game of
America by Mr.. Ernest Thompson Seton.

long before he became writer of
stories. He begins in this number.
with an account of 1.-The Wapiti and
His Antlers." In each brief paper
will be set forth clearly the result of
many years study and observation, illu-
minated with drawings by Mr.. Seton.
The articles will interest every lover
of outdoor sports.
''Shall Footbsll be ended or Mended?''
is the suggestive title of a group of
articles contributed to the Review of
Reviews for January by Presidents
Butler, of Columbia, Wheeler, of Cali
fornia and Finley, of New York, and
two of the best-qualified experts on
physical training in the United States
DIR. ID. A Sargent, of the Hemen-
way Gymnasium, Harvard University.
and DIR. Luther H. Gulick, of the New
York City public-school system. The
consensus of these writer's seems to be
that the ending" of football as a col
lege pastime in America can only be
averted by most radical ''mending.'
The Delineator begins the New Year
with an attractive cover and q display
of all that is new in the fashion world,
to say nothing of the many features OF
literary excellence. Of particular in.
terest is an article by Postmaster-Gen-
eral Cortelyou, describing woman's s
place and share of work in the posta
service. The articles in the ''Safs

sent it to his paper. "The reply

that while the patent medicine most

In that dear old Southern state,
Where the scenes of my childhood
Start the tears as / relate,
With my dear old gray-haired mother,
Sitting in her old arm chair,
And she hummed an ancient melody,
In that tone loved to hear.
She has gone, these many years;
And this deed oft regret
When a lad left my home
(And her words, hear them yeti
While the tears streamed down her face,
AS she kissed her last adieu-
Remember, son, your dear old mother,
For she will pray for you. -
My father, friends, he was captain,
Who sailed upon the deep,
And somewhere in its briny depths
His body calmly sleeps.
His ship was lost in hurricane;
He with the ship went down;
Lash'd to the wreck were all the crew,
But no trace of him was found.
My brother and sisters, only three
Little Willie, Lucy, and Nell
And what their fate has ever been
Is more than can tell.
They left one morning for the river,
Arm in arm they strolled the lane,
Through the fields, which led to the sea
shore,
But were never seen again.
My dear old mother, broken hearted.
Pined away with grief and pain,
And from the day left my homestead
never saw her face again.
In the church-yard she is lying,
Near the little cottage door,
But her soul is with the-angels
On that happy golden shore.
All alone, I'm left to wander,
But have not long to stay
In this weary world of trouble,
