Last summer the city of Trenton, N.
j., bought 1000 baseball uniforms, to-
gether with the necessary bats, balls,
gloves and masks to equip that num-
Der of boys for playing ball on the
public Fairgrounds. The boys were
organized into three leagues. The first
contained those between the ages of
10 and IA years. The boys between
IA and 16 played in the second league,
and the third was composed of those
not more than IS years old. Decent
behavior was insisted on; boys guilty
OF swearing while in uniform, or of
smoking, were suspended for the first
offense and expelled for the second.
The boys were kept so busy playing
ball all summer, or planning games,
that they had no time to get into mis-
chief ..

Some Things He Would Like to Give
'a' If He Could

do you know the Christmas pres
ent I'd like to make II / could?" said
/ Mr.. Staybolt. I'D like to give cheer
fulness to the downhearted; courage
to the timid, and strength to the weak;
the power Of self-denial to those who
yield too easily, and desire to work
4 to the lazy. st.sf eaF.s
Il have often thought what . pity
1t Isl that YOU can't buy all these
things, these helpful qualities, already
put up and at such price as to put
them within the reach of all; canned
cheerfulness, bottled hopefulness,
courage In tablets, and strength, say,
in the form Of a powder, and SO on;
or you might, ! suppose, put EN- all
|'iip canned, for that matter. e
.But In the absence Of such market
preparations and our consequent, in
ability to buy such things and send
them as gifts to those whom they
might most benefit perhaps you will
permit me to offer to each word Of
suggestion.
ITO the dispirited take cheerful
view. To the downhearted, don't dwell
on the doleful side. To the timid,
don't.be afraid. To the weak, or those
who fancy themselves SO, try your
strength. You'll be surprised to find
how much you've got.
To those who yield too easily, deny
yourself once, and again, and feel the
Joy and strength that will come back
to. you. To the lazy, get a Job with a
shovel, in a gang of laborers, under a
driving boss; and II you are not glad
to get back to your present job to do
the best you know how at it. I miss
my guess.
II cant send you these things in
cans or bottles; but II anyone of you
will take my advice and stick to 1t,
you'll think that Mr.. Staybolt was a
very kind Santa Claus"

The game of billiards was invented
by a pawnbroker, William Kew by
name, who fourished in London in the
sixteenth century, He used to employ
his leisure hours in wet weather when
trade was dull by taking down the
three balls which were the insignia of
bis profession and pushing them about
the counter of his shop with a yard
stick, after the manner of the game
as at present played, and using boxes
fastened to the sides of his counter for
pockets. Out of this was developed a
table with fence of slight elevation
about it to keep the balls from rolling
of on the floor, and to enable the
player to make what have since be-
come known as cushion shots.

CHRISTMAS PROVERBS

The love-light in the eyes Of the
precious ones Of the household Is the
most brilliant Of Christmas illumina-
tions.
The soft Christmas light Is not the
least welcome where the shadows Of
bereavement have fallen during the
year. The Christmas angels hover
over such dwellings of sorrow in min
istrits of divine love.
1t was the Christ who said: TT
is more blessed to give than to re-
ceive." Again, he said: 'Inasmuch
as We have done 1t to one Of the least
Of these, my brethren, We have done 1t
unto me-"

One characteristic of the present
football rules. as compared with those
IN force year or two ago, is the pro-
portionate strengthening Of the teams
OF the smaller colleges. The small col
leges are increasing In the number Of
their students, and therefore have
more football material to choose from
The new rules give greater opportunl-

with mere weight and strength, and
therefore offer more attractive game,
for which more candidates present
themselves. These results amply jus
tify the changes in the rules.

RULES FOR CHRISTMAS GIVING
Give willingly.
Give tactfully.

Give willingly.
Give tactfully.
Put thought into your giving.
Don't consider return gifts.
Never give to others what you
wouldn't want yourself.
The unexpected gift insures a spe-
cial appreciation.
To give ostentatiously is the height
of bad taste.
Give to the sick and the sorrowful II
you would know the true Joy Of giving.
Never give more than you can af-
ford. Your friends know your circum-
stances as well as you do yourself and
the pleasure Of both giving and re-
ceiving is lost.

When first, her Christmas watch to keep
Came down the silent Angel, Sleep.
With snowy sandals shod,
Beholding what his mothers hands
Had wrought, with softer swaddling-
bands
She swathed the Son of God.
Then, skilled In mysteries of Night,
With tender visions of delight
She wreathed his resting-place,
Till, wakened by warmer glow
Than heaven itself had yet to show,
He saw his mothers face.

American business men, persistent
and daring advertisers though they
are, would hardly venture to offer to
buy space" in government publica-
ton; yet the new British issue of two
shilling books of stamps contains no.
tice to advertisers, to the effect that
"The postmaster-general is prepared
to consider offers for the insertion of
trade advertisements in these books"
and inviting communications on the
subject. There are persons who will
criticise this step as being in the
wrong direction, toward the sacrifice
of dignity; but manufacturers of pills
powders and potions will approve it
heartily, and unless the postmaster
general is strong-minded enough to re-
fuse much of the business that will be
rendered one can foresee stamp
books in which the advertisements
will hide the stamps.

n spears Versus Prunlng-Hooks.
A French writer on nervous diseases
declares that women are more subject
than men to the disturbances known
rs fixed IDEAS" He suggests that
many a woman is fit patient. for his
treatment whom her family regards as
merely obstinate and unreasonable,
This is cheering view for the fami-,
lies Of the victims. If "queerness"
can be cured by course of pills and
powders, life will be simplifed. Mean
time there Is one prevalent fixed idea
which may be easily recognized as
such, and perhaps cured by dose Of
concentrated public opinion. The %o-
man is known to us all for whom the
pr.ning-hook is far more terrible than
the spear, remarks the Youths Com
panion. If one proposes trimming
rose-bush or training vine, she re-
CARDS the plan as she would one for
the abbreviation of the fingers and
toes Of her children. To cut down
tree is as heinous in her eyes as to
drown baby, and to clear vista for
a sea-view would be veritable massa-
ere Of the innocents. Hours Of tears
or days of gloom are the penalty of
the transgression of her fixed idea.
Argument whit her on this sensitive
subject falls on deaf ears. She may
be good neighbor and wise adviser
on every other question, but she would
live in jungle rather than use the
prunfng.shears on her beloved green
cry. The woman who thinks the right
to grow and spread is inalienable with
the vegetable creation is a perfectly
well-recognized type. If the French
specialist can cure her as well as
classify her he will do a public service.
