when the Wind sings In the Night

You can read the dreams they're dreamin'
In their rosy slumbers deep;
To a sweeter s<ng they listen
Than the mother song OF Sleep
They see the Christmas angels.
With their shiny wings 0 light;
Hear fairy trumpets BLOWN
When the wind sings in the night
For the wind is Ike a message
From the land where Christmas dweIls
They hear the frosty reindeer
Shake their shiny silver bells,
Impatient for the journey
Der the housetops. snowy white
VI, there's wonder in the music
When the wind sings in the night
They're in Christmas land forever
IN rosy dream o bliss,
When they're singin' in the sunshine,
When they're cl!mb,n' for a kiss.
And we'd sigh not Ger the lonesome,
Weepin years Of lost delight
Could we dream the dreams they're
dreamin'
When the wind sings in the night.

"eOWL AT IT."
A sport Invented by wisconsin Aaa
to Rival Bowling.


A game that is planned 10 rival the
popular sport of bowling is the latest
thing that has been patented to inter
est the large class looking for amuse-
n!eut. says ST. Paul correspondent OF
the Kansas City Times. The game has
been named bowl ar it by the invent
or, DR.. Franklin VI. Greer Of Niouna,
Wis. and Will very shortly be placed
upon trial IN the home town OF the in
yeutor and also in st. Paul. The in
yentor does not contend il will take the
place Of bowling. but says the game
Will prove a great favorite with the la
dies and children and men who are IN
able 10 take up the strenuous work Of
ordinary bowling. The game promises
10 become a faYorite at resorts hotels,
clubs and Y NJ. c. A buildings.
The game is played on an alley SINH
lar 10 the regular bowling alley, being
three feet wide and forty-two feet in
length, and derives its name through
the fact that those who play the game
must bowl a ball at a large revolving
wheel AT the business end of the alley,
or where the pins are placed in bowl
ing. The wheel revolves by means Of
an eight horsepower electric motor and
is fitted with hinged paddles. numbered
2, 1. 8. 5 and 10. The balls. which are
four and one-half inches in diameter,
when rolled at the wheel strike the
paddles. and the ones hit are forced
back and up out of sight. and the play
er is credited as indicated on the pad
dies knocked out of sight
The numbers are SO arranged on the
wheel as 10 make it impossible for a
player, throwing three balls an inning
in Il ten inning game, to make a score
higher than 300. The perfect bowler in
the new sport is required 10 judge the
speed of his or her ball. the speed of
the revolving wheel as well as the
curvature of the alley, which is of such
a nature as to conform with the wheel
so as 70 bring five of the paddles on the
alley before the ball at one time
The balls as they pass through the
wheel strike a cushion back on the
wheel and return through a gutter to
the players, it being on slight angle
for this purpose. The paddles sprung
by player may he adjusted In the
wheel again by simply pulling lever
at the front of the alley, doing away
with an attendant or pin boy.

we'll as in carrying paper and general
cargoes. The schooner will sail be-
tween Stockton Springs, New York and
southern ports.
The Northand has a frame of oak
and hackma tack. The planking and

forward house. built of North Carolina
pine provides for the steam plant, gal
ley forecastle and engineers room.
The afterhouse, handsomely finished in
