TYRANNY OF GAMES.
The snd Dominion OF Fun in Great
B-ltain.

The snd Dominion OF Fun in Great
B-ltain.
There are probably many little boys
as we'll as boys Of larger growth who
do not like games. English boys 1t
Is a dangerous conjecture when we

will be called the G. G. when he is a
hundred not out) filing a page Of this
journal with the chronicles Of games.
He is on the side of the majority; the
special football editions are on the
same side; thousands of readers must
be on the same side, or the game
would not be worth the stylograph.
But one can imagine an opposition. I
can,
We live under a tyranny, we who
have been brought up under the Eng
fish system; we who have sucked in
the notion that Waterloo was won on
the Playing Fields of Elton, we who
have been taken by the scruff of the
neck and commanded to play-against
our will The English system is that
of Miss Havishman, in ''Great Expec-
factions" who collared the small Pip
and ordered him to play!" That para
lyzed him. There are probably many
Pips in England who have no use of
games-are bored by them.
But the majority wins in country
where the legs and arms outnumber
the brains by something over a thous-
and to one-if one may be charitable.
England says, you must play the
game" And the small boy, caught
deftly by the neck, finds that he has
to play it, even If he has something
much. more amusing at the back of his
brain. This is no democracy of amuse-
ment; 1t is tyranny. dlu
And in the roaring 4Os I look back
to the beginning of the tyranny, when
it was necessary to spend an evening
in playing drafts, or snap, or some
such absurd apology for amusement.
That is unimportant. But when school,
days came-you will forgive the per-
sonal conference.-the tyranny clos
ed down its hand upon me, Games
were compulsory. The question was,
should 1 look like a shirker, or should
1 be a silly sheep? To my misery
chose the role of the sheep and follow
ed the fashion, until my election was
sure as the captain of the football.
That enabled me to retire to the most
meditative position in a field of foot
ballers, which is not saying much, and
l always meditated on the hour or so
when games would not be demanded
of me. This I mention only to indicate
that I have knuckled under to tyranny
have put my hand under the rod, as
Horace said. No season Of the year
passed without its games that were
boring; but you had to play them.
There was an autocracy of sport, q

teed regularity of custom and pay
ment, most tradesmen will work for
you much more cheaply than if you
go to them by fits and starts. Your
clever little modiste and couturiere can
afford to quote you special terms if
she can rely on your regular and faith
full support Another thing is, look
ahead a little in ordering your clothes.
Hurry is always extravagant' Don't
wait till the season is on you and then
cry wildly that you have nothing to
wea'.
But whatever you economic in,
don't spare time or trouble or money
on the well-being and well-keeplng of
your hair. Slowly Englishwomen are
learning what no Frenchwoman mas
ever needed to learn-that an untidy
couture crowns any CONNECTION with
failure. Neatness and daintiness, the
twin children of old Mother Method,
are two other important points in a
woman's appearance The girl who
tumbles her gloves and wells indiscrim-
inately together, who leaves her shoes
untreed, her skirt unbrushed, is the
girl who loses every woman's birth
right, freshness and daintiness.
Character in clothes! Take heart of
graee-and these few hints. Start
afresh and determine that your clothes
shall give you a good character.

SOAKED In COFFEE
Until Too stir to Bend Over.

When I drank coffee. I often had
sick headaches, nervousness, and bill
iousness much of the time. but when

habit of drinking Postum
II gave up coffee entirely, and the
result has been that I have been en-
tirely relieved of all my stomach and
nervous trouble.
My mother was just the same wayl
We all drink Postum now, and without
coffee in the house for two years we
are all well.
"A neighbor of mine, great coffee
drinker, wos troubled with pains in her
side for years and was an invalid She
was not liable to do her work. and
could not even mend clothes or do any
thing at all where she would have to
bend forward. If she tried to do lit
tie hard work, she would get such pains
that she would have to lie down for
the rest of the day.
AT last I persuaded her to seop
drinking coffee and try Postum Food
Coffee. and she did so and has used

for a whole day and men and can sew

the least bit of pain in her side. in

ABOLISH DIRECT PRIMARY.
Movement Among Democrats, Who
Say it is Not Successful

Say it is Not Successful
On the allegations that the direct
primary has not been a success be-
cause it was not operative in both
parties. and that it therefore defeated
the ends for which it was intended,
movement has now been started by
number Of prominent democrats to
have convention called to act on a
proposed adjustment of the primary,
SO far as the democratic party is con-
cerned, in this city Although it is
conceded by those who now wish to
revert back to the old caucus way Of
nominating, as is still used by the re-
publicans, that the direct primary has
many fine features and would no
doubt be a success if used exclusively
here, under present conditions they
claim that the democrats are handi-
capped by It's use.
The direct primary Is simply party
rule of the democrats in this town.
and has been in effect for two years.
When introduced it was expected to
revolutionize politics in New Haven.
and it did according to those who
now seek its adjustment. They
claim that while the democratic party
Is struggling with the nominations by
the direct primary thegrepublicans are
gong easily ahead under their caucus
rules, and, when the nominations
were made, had the advantage of pre-
