BASE BALL.

The most interesting game of the season
was played at the Congress street grounds
last Saturday afternoon, when the Easterns of
South Brewer met the Belfast Y. M. A., and
were defeated by score of 9 to 2. The
visitors were accompanied by an excursion of
about l25, who were anxious for their team to
win and were willing to bet SIS to 81, besides
using all the regular modes of encouragement
The Y M. A. put up an unusually good game,
both out and in field. Richards of the B. H. S.
pitched good game, while Robinson was not
up to his standard. Special interest centered
with the pitchers. Cunningham made dandy
three-base hit. A heavy thunder shower scat
tered the crowd near the beginning of the
game, some going home and others finding
shelter near the grounds Following is the
score.

BE HUMAN FIRsT-THEN PRAY.

Just give her the hand of friendship,
Then Aforementioned in prayer;
Help her first-and cheer her,
Then you may pray-if you dare.
Don't moralize over human sin,
Don't tell her how good you are;
But put your hands beneath her arms,
And lift her upright there.
You may point to the Heavenly future,
After her hunger you've fed;
Don't wait to do your praying first,
When she's neither food nor bed.
Don't sing her the song of salvation,
While her body is racked with pain;
But relieve her distress and sorrow,
Then your song won't be in vain.
What she needs is human kindness,
Not words of tuneful art;
Don't try to show her Heaven first,
But the love of a human heart.
Your creed, whate'er it is, may be good,
But she needs human hand;
A human heart, with human soul.
To help her to rise and stand
Don't look for men to cheer you,
The crowd doesn't cheer that way:
First, give the needed human aid,
Then, 60 to your closet-and pray.

TRAPPING "BIG CATS"
The Easiest Victims of the Wild AMI
NAL Trapper the Most Ferocious

Strange as it may seem, the easiest
victims of the wild animal trapper are
the most ferocious-those bloodthirsty
huge cats, the lion, the tiger, and those
other beautiful felines; the panther, the
leopard and the jaguar
With the lion, for instance, it is sim
ply a matter of stealing the cubs. But
kidnapping her whelps from a danger
Gus beast like a lioness, is of course
an exciting problem.
In the heart of the darkest, most i'm
penetrable thicket, in the midst of a
tangle of vine and thorn and creeper,
the lion mother has with her from
four to six cubs-golden puffballs-
tumbling over one another, scrambling
over the great yellow body of the ma
jestic creature which none on earth
save these defenseless kittens may go
near.
Not In the wild world, 1t would seem,
was a home better protected. Yet out
of a thicket, well to leeward, the trap
er's eyes are bent upon the lion home
for once in every twenty-four hours,
nature herself renders these babies de-
fenseless, when the mother stirred by
the pangs of hunger, ventures forth to
hunt and to eat.
Besides the lfappeF Is Il pair Oh hdIilf
armed with nets made of stout cords.
In the trapper's hand is rifle loaded
with a slug of lead as big as little
finger. The slightest swapping of a
twig and the dangerous brute comes
to the attack headlong, like a yellow
streak; or, IL she cannot locate the
danger, she picks up her cubs one by
one by the neck, bounding away with
them in ten-foot springs and hiding
them in a tangle even more dense than
the other.
For hours the trapper must lie, nerves
on edge, before the mother quits her
lair to strike down a buck or a water
buffalo. Then, cautiously, with rifle
ready, the trapper presses forward and
into the unguarded lion home.
Quickly the men must work. Should
the lioness return unexpectedly nothing
but a bullet, well and quickly aimed,
could save them.
Capturing cubs is, however, only .sone
of three methods which the trapper
uses to transfer the big fe1ines out of
the wilderness into his cage. By far
the greater number of his captives are
adult beasts in the height OF their
prime, vigor and ferociousness. To
catch these the trapper uses either
pitfall or a huge trap.-St. Nicholas.

TAKING TURNS"
Jack and Betty Double Their Good
Time on Christmas Morning

Last Christmas morning Betty and
Jack found their stockings hanging in
front of the fireplace. Santa Claus had
not forgotten them-in fact, their stock
ings looked bigger and fatter and fuller
than ever before. Leaning against the
mantelpiece at the foot of Betty's
stocking was a big, jolly Teddy bear"
and Betty clasped him in her arms with
joy And at the foot of Jacks stocking
loved to read.
"Oh. Jack, let's take turns with our
stockings" said Betty. You pull
something out of yours and look at it.
and then wait till take something out
of mine Will you?"
At first Jack did not like to say
Yes" for he was so eager to see what
Santa Claus had brought him. But
Jack loved his sister Betty dearly and
was always kind to her; so he said
"All right, Betty, and you go first.
But please be quick, for L can't wait
a minute!"s
So Betty tugged at her stocking and
drew out a beautiful little ~ ". "Oh!
oh! oh! the very thing [ waTfted!' she
exclaimed as she sat little Miss Dolly
beside her on the floor. And little Miss
Dolly looked up, just as if she were
trying to watch Betty take the other
gifts out of the stocking.
Then Betty said: Now, Jack, it's
your turn" and Jack brought out a
round package, and when he took the
paper off he shouted: "Oh, Betty, see!
a beautiful, bouncing, red rubber ball!"
And he bounced it up and down two or
three times, and then put it beside him
on the floor.
your turn again, Betty!" said Jack,
and this time Betty drew out straight,
long, narrow parcel and unwrapped it,
and found it was a lovely stick of
candy, with red stripes all around it.
She told Jack to bite off the end of it,
and then said: "Now it is your turn
again."
This time Jack drew out queer
shaped wooden thing, with joints and
a queer handle and cried out: "Oh, it's
a kind Of But wait, Betty Here's
a card with it that says: Merry Christ
mas to Jack from his namesake, Jump
ing Jack!' Isn't that great?"
Now, 1 haven't room to tell you all
the other things they found in their
stockings, so you must guess what
they were. But this Christmas when
you open your stockings try the tax
ing-turns" plan. Jack and Betty say
it is great fun.-Katherine Williams in
December st. Nicholas.

BOOKS LIFE FRIENDS

Sometimes you can have jolly time
for an hour or two with person OF
whom you would grow weary were
you and he obliged to spend whole
day together; while another friend is
a constant joy, whose companionship
is one of the things that make your
life real and good to you. You may
not understand all you come across
in the story of Siegfried and Hagen
and Brunhilda; but neither do you
understand all you come across in
life. This, however, will not prevent
either from being interesting to you.
A book that will give you delight now
and will please you when you are
grown up is surely worth more than
a book that will hold your attention
only for a short while. When you and
your chum have grown older, you
will look back on your early friend
ship with happiness, although you have
since kept getting dearer to each
other; because if you had not known
him in your childhood and youth you
would have missed a very lovely part
of friendship and of life. So too with
books.
AS a child, as a boy or girl, you will
get something from a fine book which
you cannot get later. For in reading a
book you and the author are really
working together. He brings his share
to you; but you have also to bring
your share to him, and 1t is these two
elements which make the book you are
reading. 1t is almost as much your
book as his, and it remains different
from the book any one else reads, al
though the pages, the words and pic
lures are the same. / remember read
ing George Eliot's "Romola" when
was a little girl, and l loved 1t very
much 1t made Florence real to me
and started my love for Italy. When
/ went there later on, my memory of
''Romola" went with me, and not only
the story, but all the dreams and
thoughts and feelings it had aroused
in me. Recently 1 read the book
again, and 1 found a lot in it that had
never seen before. But I also saw
that what 1 had discovered in that
long-ago, reading / should not have
been able to find nova freshness, a
romance, an impression I would have
been sorry to lose out of my life.-St.
Nicholas.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-11-28

when out of the protecting folds of
the oilcloth covering there fell a pretty
neck chain made of beads and pair
of warm mittens, gifts from Dolly and
her mother for Prue herself, Duke
barked joyously, which was the dog
way of saying:
"I hope you see now that I am
dog that can be trusted"
Prue, fair, but no longer young, still
fondly cherishes the necklace that
Duke brought to her on that Christmas
morning so long ago.
But there is another little Prue who
once in a while is allowed to wear the
precious chain around her own neck,
and who often wishes that she had
dog as brave and faithful as her grand
mothers dog Duke.-St. Nicholas.

are now very popular and they can
be plated with almost any metal de-
sired.
The pens are now ready to go to the
boxing room, where they are counted
by ascertaining the weight. It will be
found impossible to put a gross of pens
in the box intended for them unless
they are laid parallel.
In order to do this quickly and easily
they are put in a half cylinder and
shaken. This quickly places them in
a parallel position, and by a very quick
move are dumped into the boxes, which
are then ready to be labeled and
packed
