"I'll bet that neither of them found
The POLE" said Willie Bings.
They claim that when they looked
around
They saw lot of things;
A frozen sea and curious lights,
But not a word about
The house. most wonderful of sights,
Where Santa Claus hangs out.
They needn't bring their instruments
Nor diaries nor charts.
Nor walrus tusks nor sealskin tents,
To win our minds and hearts.
For only one thing will we pause
In our suspicious grim,
And that's a note from Santa Claus
Which says they called on him."

ference at Cambridge, proposed that an
act be passed by parliament. raising
the age for leaving the public schools
to fifteen for children of both sexes.
Mr. S. H. Butcher. M. p. thought It
could be carried but without any Sc

of the 10000 children who now left
school between the ages of Is and II
only 10000 carried on their education
to some extent in evening schools. This
left 10000 who absolutely ceased to
learn anything after the age of IA.
There was surely pathetic irony in
the fact. that for few years in life,
when they were least fitted for labor,
they had to follow some employment,
whilst for the rest of their lives they
were either unemployed or unemploy-
able. For the most part, indeed. these
boys were on the downward grade for
the rest of their existence. That was

TABLES WERE TURNED
The Local Team Shut Out the Visitors
by a Score of One to Nothing

From Saturdays Daily:
The Orlando and Ocala baseball
teams have played three games during
the past three days, and in each game
one team was shut out without a run.
The visitors won the first game, 1 to
O; also the second game, 8 to 0, and
the home team, to show that it was
not completely outclassed, took the
third contest, 1 to 0.
1t would be necessary to go a long
way to see three prettier games. The
feature of yesterdays game was the
pitching of Harris, who let the Orlan-
do boys down with only one hit,
which was made by Barnett in the
fourth inning. Little Limerick again
showed that he is a sprinter In the
sixth inning he pulled in Walters
foul fly after a long, hard run to the
players bench.
The first inning started with Or
lando at the bat. Limerick smote the
air three times and retired Tilden
was out on fly to Dye. Pound pop
ped up a foul to Waller. The local
team, in an effort to keep the game
well in hand, scored in the first in
ming. McIver, the first man up, wait
ed, and was given his base via the
big four" route. He took second on
a passed ball, was sacrificed to third
by Jewett, and crossed the rubber on
Morris out at first. This was the
only run made in the game, but it
proved sufficient to let the home boys
win.
