HERE IS THE GAME.

The Pots and Pans and John Sayles's Crescents will play their final game for the season on Hill street next Sunday afternoon. The prize is to be $50 bill. This is the game that was to have been played some time ago, the game which the cooking utensils declined to play after they had seen the line up of the Crescents. If the Pots and Pans win this game it will make tie, but as the season is so far advanced the tie will not be played off this side of Christmas. It is up to Captain Ward of the Pots and Pans to play this game with himself in the box, for Captain Sayles of the Crescents will pitch for his team, even if he has to go to Cork to get genuine cork leg, one of his own being at present in the sulks.

Funniest Typographical Break.

During newspaper mems con-
veptioD, says Harper's Weekly. a
number of journalists were one
afternoon talking of the tricks of
"the faithless typo" when "Marse"
Henry Wstterson said:
while I've heard of a great

in my time, about the oldest and

Missouri's Social Pest

Is the Idiotic vending "Cut-Up."
They may think they have this
evil only in Mossouri but they
are mistaken. The Kansas City
Star leaves nothing, after this, to
be said on the subject:
Most people have their weak
spots. Few are roundly. normal.
Some slap their friends on the
back, some whistle in public pla-
ces, some keep darking dogs,
some speak monologues and
think they are "conversing" and
SO on, but there is some hope for
a tendency or a habit that is not
deliberately designed to be mis-
chevious, such as the playing
pranks on newly married people.
These jocular outbreaks have un-
dergone various "refnements''
and they have now reached the
point where a honeymoon voyage
has been anticipated by a "bill of
particulars" printed in circular
form and distributed among the
passengers of the ocean liner.
The discouraging thing is that
the propensity does not "refne"
itself out of existence. 1t is gen.
orally tspeaking, as perverse in
its latter day manifestations, as it
was when the uncouth but equal
ly well-meaning country bump
kins surrounded the house of the
bashful bride and groom on their
wedding night and made the time
hideous with the beating of pans
and old copper boilers with what
was called "belling."

American Fathers.

"American fathers are the most
affectionate in the world" said a
travelled Englishman the other
day. "I never heard any young
married men talk with such af-
fectionate prid about their babies.
The usual Englishman is either
boisterous or simply satisfied.
This morning 1 saw one of the
pleasantest sights imaginable. 1
was riding in a street car. OPP
posite to me sat young couple
with a baby. The husband was
holding the baby. He was a
bronzed and sturdy fellow, and
he held the pink and whiS e mite
very tenderly. He was not in the
least embarrassed. He had one
muscular finger playing about the
childs mouth, and whenever the
pink gums snapped at it he look
ed as proud as a prince and
beamed all over his honest face
Now, you'd never see a aslght like
that in my country. I shouldn't
mind standing godfather every
day to children of such fathers"

Curiosites About
Christmas.
Some Peculiar Customs Connected
With the Christian Holiday.

The celebration of Christmas
as special festival is said to have
begun in the first century, and
during the life of the Apostle
John one tradition of the church
accredits him with inaugurating
the custom.
In England the Christmas dec
orations may remain in churches
during the month of January, but
must all be cleared away before
February 2, or Candlemas day.
In France it is common prac
tice TO celebrate Christmas by
giving and extra ration to all do
mestic animals, on the theory
that all creatures should rejoice
at this season.
In the fourth century, the cele-
bration of Christmas was fixed by
the Latin church for December
|25. Before that time, it had
been a movable festival, like
Easter.
Santa Claus was introduced in
to America by the Dutch, of Hol-
land. He is the American rep
resentation of the German Knecht
Rupert.
Among the English common
people, Christmas is lucky when
it falls on Sunday, and unlucky
when Saturday is the day of the
Nativity.
Christmas mince pies in the
seventeenth and eighteenth CEN
turies were made with a coffin
shaped crust, to represent the
manger.
In sllesia there is a superstition
that a hoy born on Christmas day
must be brought up q lawyer, or
he will become thief.
In all the states Christmas is a
legal holiday, and in South Caro-
lima the two following days are
ais holidays.

Who Killed Capt. Fred Doss, Sept
7th, Acquitted Wednesday.

w no hllleo capt. Freo OosS, oepC.
7th, Acquitted Wednesday.
Wednesday morning at eleven
o'clock the jury in the case of the
State against Frank Clark, charg-
ed with murder, brought in YER
dict of not guilty after being out
for about two hours. AS will be
remembered Clark cut and killed
Doss on the 7th of September at
Kanauga and went for weeks
without being arrested. He was
finally captured by Sheriff Man
ring and placed in jail to await
trial. An interview with him
was published in this paper which.
fully told the story Of the deed
and was substantially the same as
the story told the court and jury.
The acquittal of Clark will meet
with approval of most all our citi-
Zehs VINO tnougnt that the man
was practically justified in his
action. FL. March and R. M.
Switzer were the attorneys for
Clark. Mr.. Marsh, who is con-
nected with the proposed street
car line, and for whom Clark was
working at the time of the mur-
der, was greatly interested in the
case and made an able address in
defense of Clark. The prosecu-
ton was ably assisted by Rudy
Mack, who fought hard for con-
viction, but the weigt of evidence
was too much against him =

A HAPPY. CHRISTMAS
1t Is Best Made by Remembering
the.Christ Spirit of Kindness.

A happy Christmas to grown
people and a merry Christmas to
the children! And let it be hap
py Christmas; for that one day
put away worries and disagreea-
BILE feelings, and enter iuto the
real spirit of Christmas, which is
to give happiness into some hu-
man life. 1t is not in the giving
of presents alone that is the true
Christmas; it is in bestowing kind
words, kind looks and smiles
where there is not always sun
shine. Why do people SO often
think Christmas a burden, aud
wish the holiday season past?
Why should the sad and sorrow
full look forward to it as dread
anniversary? This is the worst
form of selfishness. Christmas
should be a day of self forgetful-
ness and of thinking of some one
else's life, and how it can be made
brighter. There is a great deal
of sadness and worry in all sta
tions of life, a few CHEEKY words,
accompanied by smile, give
great encouragement and cost b1t
little effort.
And the children! Does any
one ever notice the wastful faces
peering INTO the fascinating shop
windows at this season, and re-
member that probably this is
their owners only glimpse oe
Christmas? That in their whole
miserable existence never a pen
ny has been handled by them of
their very own? Let the child
less one and the sorrowful one,
as we'll as those who daily take
their walks abroad, think of this,
and each one in his own way do
his best to gladden. some life, and
by doing SO feel by Christmas
night that there is something aft
er all worth doing and living for
in this old world, and the new
year will be prepared for by end
ing the old one well.
