There was no doubt in the minds
of people who knew the Camerons as
to who was the head of the house in
every sense Of the word. So accus-
toned were the Camerons, large and
small, to look to "father" for advice
and opinions on every subject that
they unconsciously afforded more or
less amusement to their friends.
do you mind this extreme cold
weather, Mrs. Cameron?" some one
asked her one icy winter day, and the
little lady smiled cheerily
"Oh, father says it's much healthier
for everybody than last winter" she
answered. HE says we all feel much
better than we did,
"Indeedv' said the friend, with a
spice of malice. 81 thought I heard
that all of you except Mr.. Cameron
had been quite i'll with throat trou-
bles."
Yes, so we have" admitted the
adoring wife, "but as father says, he
knows just when we got our colds.
1t was that time the weather changed
so suddenly while he was in New
York, and he doesn't intend to let it
happen again."-Youth's Companion.

Rackets.

There is a good deal Of simplicity
about the game of rackets, but it Is
so fast that one has to move into posi-

rapidly. The movements of a player
must be almost instructive. This Is the
reason why those who learn the game
very young have better prospects. The
greatest mistake Of men who take up
rackets in this country is that they
often learn bad form at the start,
which only the most careful practice
will enable them to ever overcome. AS
matter Of fact good many Of our
players do not care to take the time
for such practice Bad footwork and
a poor wrist are the causes of the down
fall Of nearly all of our second and
third class players. Plenty Of men,
physically we'll equipped for the most
strenuous rackets, will peg along for
years and never leam the game prop
erg, simply because they began badly
and either have never taken the trou-
BILE or do not know how. to correct
their fauits.-G George 81. Brooke in Out
