The Little Things.

Life is made up of little things
words, acts, duties, pleasures. They
come to rs one after another, calling
US out of ourselves, or seem to rush
hurriedly past us, and they leave an
impress on our spirit, and our charac-
tiers are made or married by their inhu-
ence Rev Il. Lowry.

We are glad not to be left in doubt
about the cause of this cold and back
ward spring. The weather probable
tiles say: ''The reason for the cold
weather we have had during the past
two or three months, is that the high
areas of pressure have moved east
ward from the northern portion of
the country almost continually, and
these have caused cold north winds. "
That is great consolation, and helps
out on the coal and wood bill.

Not the least important among the
Memorial exercises of last week were
those of the school children, all over
the State, who in their school rooms
sang patriotic songs and gave stirring
recitations on patriotic subjects. 1t
would surprise and instruct even the
older ones to see how deeply the
children have dug into the records of
the past OF course all these things
are to them history, and down in
their inmost souls are being embed
ded the elements which will make
these boys and girls the intelligent
and patriotic men and women of the
future, when those are laid aside who
are now bearing the heat and burden
of the day. Memorial day is grand

We should hazard guess that Pres
ident Roosevelt went little too far
when he accused Rev. DR.. William j.
Long of telling lies in his recent ami
mai book. The Doctor has made
animals a life study, and has long
been deemed an expert on the sub
ject. He feels naturally "hurt" at
the way the President has come down
on him in his red hot, impetuous
way, and the Doctor has retorted
very sharply, asking the President to
retract his statements on the ground
of fairness. The Doctor is a fascinat-
ing lecturer and writer, and compels
us to admire the wild animals of
which he has made close study, in
stead of creating a desire to slaughter
them.

Denver. But the combined efforts proved
OF no avail and through the ceaSeless

wouldn't be go shooters enter. Several
bets to this effect were made. Mckenzie
got busy and when the big match opened
il was found that there were 343 shooters
ten more than shot at the grand Ameri-
can. This was a decided boost for Den
yer and last year there was but little
difficulty experienced in securing the

privilege of making the following
statement: In the first place, there is
no particular difference between board

for Early Spring Prac-

New York. Dec 14-When the New
York Americans report for spring prac-
tice at Atlanta in March, Clark Grif-
fifth says that he will have more than
thirty men in line, and that all of the
regulars will be on hand this time so
that they viii not lose a days training.
Chase, VINO signed a three years con-
tract last spring, will be among the
first to report. So will Elberfeld, also
under contract, while ChesbrO, who
held off for several weeks after the re-
cent season opened, will show lip on the
first day.
Griffith win have all of his players
signed before the gong rings at the
Georgia training quarters so that
there can be no feeling of dissatis
faction among them. The Ameri
cans manager has practically decided
to let Bell and Ball out, as they did not
come up to the required standard in
the fall games. This means that out
side of the batteries the regulars will
be Chase, Niles, Conroy, Elberfeld, Mo
Rarity, Stahl, Hemphill and Keller.
COnrOy, if placed in the outheld, will
probably send Hemphill to the bench

ble poor physical condition, is unable
