Little acts of thoughtfulness cost so little and mean so much. The writer once witnessed a demonstration which was touching and beautiful In the up- per waiting room of the Union Station at Kansas City a tired bedraggled mother of several small children, in q wailing baby of five or six months, was fruitely endeavoring to quiet and entertain them. A woman simply but richly dressed, of a class obviously several degrees removed from the mother, with beautiful face and commanding figure, left her seat and approached the dissatisfied little group. From her satchel she produced veri- table fairyland for those children. There were games, books and toys; there were blunt scissors and pictures to cut out and even tiny sugar pills which, she explained to the mother, were unmedicated, and in trying to pick them up and convey them to his mouth the baby found occupation and the peace of mind which goes with it.. Later, in conversation with the writer, this most charming woman modestly admitted that she never travelled with out satchel full of things with which to amuse and entertain children. as in her early life she had list the one child she had ever possessed, and all children appealed to her, She certainly had the kingdom of heaven in her own heart and so much sunshine that 1t simply had to reach out and touch all with whom she came in contact Hol-

 The purse of $1000 hung up by John K. Punderford, general manager of the Consolidated Railway company, as an incentive to good work among the local employees of the corporation, was dis tributed yesterday morning among the men who passed through the last year of their service without so much as a demerit against their names. There were 173 men in this list and of this number about sixty were conductors and the others were rnotormen. The men at the head end of the car are in the majority because they run few chances of making breaks that would bar them from sharing in the disburse- ments of this prize. The total prize is split in two, $500 going to the motor

HARVARD PLATs POORLY.
New Ten Yard Rule Probably Saves Her
 From Defeat.

Cambridge, Oct 3.-In a game of poor football, but with many brilliant plays. Harvard defeated Bowdoin on Soldiers field this afternoon, 10 to Q. The first score was on goal from the field by Burr from a place kick on the thirty seven-yard line after a fair catch, The second was made by good football down the field to touchdown, Apolono car- rying the ball over for touchdown and Burr kicking the goal
 There were frequent penalties under the new rules, Bowdoin suffering most from these infractions
 Harvard made first downs twice, while BoWdoin failed to gain by rush ing. Still, the Bowdoin interference was beautifully executed and the run her shielded very effectively. The backs lined up running wall, and had the game been under the old rules, of a five-yard gain instead of ten, the result might have been different, or, at least, Bowdoin might have scored
 The Harvard defense stopped the play after one or two rushes by running in behind the runner or tearing apart the interference, but during the first part of the game Bowdoin averaged several yards at each rush.
 Harvard tried the forward pass three times during the game Once it nettet gain of 12 yards, the second time there was short gain, butthe third time the ball was lost.
 Time was taken out but twice dur. ing the game, once for each team. anf as fifteen minute halves were played the contest was over inside of an hour The features of the game were the rush. ing of Driscoll for Bowdoin and the bunting of Burr of Harvard.
