Christmas comes but once a year.

Mr.. Bradley tried to sing, but his
tongue seemed tied, and when by eff
fort he could speak, he found him
self saying, I've concluded not to
make any presents this year," instead
of singing:
"Give thought to those in need,
Follow it with kindly deed"
After the singing the pastor offered
prayer, and asked the Lord to re-
member those to whom Christmas
would be day of sad memories, and
to cause it to be impressed upon all
that there is no time like the present
for doing kind deeds. After few
remarks by the superintendent Of the

"Christmas will soon be here" re-
piled his wife, "and I was thinking
today that we must begin to make

Il am thinking we will not make

Bradley.
"Not make any presents this year
Why not? Why, Charles, Christina;

we made presents. What has caused
such a change in you? Not because
you have no money, certainly. Yot

you have for such decision"
"Well, for one thing, [ have no time
to spend in the crowded stores, hunt

Bradley.
"You need not spend much time
If you will trust me, [ will make the
selection"
"Jennie," said Mr. Bradley, "ther(

Although Mr. Bradley acquicced in
all that his wife said, he did not care
to acknowledge it and felt relieved
when a caller was announced, putting
an end to the conversation.
After Mr.. Bradley retired for the
night he was very wakeful and found
it difficult to put from his mind the
conversation about the Christmas
holidays, and when after hours O.

Company has exhibited have VIC taken such a
quantity of orders at the one just closed in

of announcing TO the public THAI my company

automobiles much ever. The gate re-
ceipts prove that. AS a rule. those who have
attended the show have been buyers pros

in attendance who were merely visitors. 1t is

Princeton, \. J., oct, 8I.-Thc last scrimmage
before the Carlisle Indian game In New York on
Saturday was held on University Field this
afternoon Two twenty five minute halves were
played. in which neither team scored. The play
ing of the first team was ragged and unsa tisfac-

MCCrohan and MckaiS who have been playing
havoc with the varsity for the last two weeks,
tore big holes IN the first teams line for long
gains. Read made two good end runs for the
varsity The forward pass used repeatedly,

ithaca n. Y, Oct. 31.-There were several i'm
portant changes in the Cornell lineup to-day
with the idea of Strengthening the ends and inn
proving the back field. The first object was ac-
complished by placing O'Rourke, last years
guard and this years tackle and Lynch the
big new tackle, on the ends. In the Princeton
game these men demonstrated that they had
wonderful speed by breaking through the Tiger
line and getting down under punts faster than
the Cornell ends. They "made good to-day in
a fast 40-minute scrimmage. in which the
varsity defeated the freshmen eleven by the
score of "a to o.
Captain Cook and McCollum were the varsity
tackles. otherwise the line was regular. In the
back field EbIing was at fulback and Move

ceded the scrimmage.
