Billy settled little after that but
in the sixth another score was made
by the visitors who drew three more
hits during the session. Still anoth-
er was made in the eighth when two
men hit safely, and one of them got
to third on Meloan's error They
then pulled off a double steal and the
runner from third scored because Jacob
sendid not touch him quick enough. Neal
was taken out of the game after the two
hits had been made off him in this
round and Lakaff took his place
Frank held Springfield safe in the
next inning although they succeeded
in getting man as far as third.
Lose Chance to Win,
An excellent opportunity was afforded
in the seventh round to tie up the
game or even win it, but a combina-
lion of poor base running, poor
coaching and misjudgment lost the
chance. Vogel scratched "A hit with
a man on third but the latter was
held there Then with only one out
and the bases full, Neal, who was
due to leave the box at any minute,
was allowed to take his turn at the
bat when some one else from the
bench might have broken up the
game with a hit. 1t was heart break
ing to see thee men die on the
bases while two men were trotted out

Customs and habits directly trace
able back to the end Of the Stone Age

of the remoter parts of rural Rumania,
saws DIR. Emil Fischer of Bucharest in
the current issue Of the Umschau.
The latest statistics show that there
are still in Rumania over 81. 900 cave
dwellings in existence, in which a
quarter of million peasant folk live.
These caves are almost as primitive
in their arrangements as the original
cave dwellings of the Stone Age,
AS recently as in the sos millet,

nointed stakes. At funerals repast

The First Christmas Gift.

Surely the Christmastide is the
feast of all others that appeal to
women, and as the story is told again
and again by the bells as they ring,
by the carols as they are sung, by the
preacher from the pulpit, we know
that Unto us a Child is born" and
peace and good will reign all over the
land. Let peace and good will be in
your heart, and from you they will go
and spread all over the land. 1t is
to the women, thank God, that the
happiness of the Christmastide espec-
tally comes. And women are gener-
GUS, else one of them never would
have given her Son to die that all
might live. She gave to all the world
her only son-the gift that meant
eternal life.-Ruth Ashmore.

Modern Farming.
From the Washington Post.l

The so-called intensive farming, "
which is to his country brother what
system is to the city man, has al
ready taken firm root, and the vast
ranches of the West are being broken
up into 100 and $50 acre tracts, and
their production doubled. The farm
er has found that by putting his
energy into more compact area his
financial results can be the same as
when his kingdom extended over half
township. By doing a little fgur-
ing he has found that by turning his
wheat fields to corn, barley and clover
and this again into butter, beef and
mutton, he is getting larger and
more certain return for his outlay.
This is partly the reason why the
leadership in wheat production has
gone from the State of Minnesota, but
thereby she has gained in dairy pro-
ducts. SO that today he leads the
world. Many farmers in that State
raise no wheat, while many more
plant only small percentage OF the
acreage that was their custom 10
years ago.
While it, is hardly possible for a
man of no means, unless he has
Che capital of experience, to enter
into farming, yet, for the man with
afew hundred dollars at his command,
there is no opening so easy of access
that affords the opportunity for sure
and profitable return. The West to-
day offers more opportunities for the
man of small means than it ever did
in the golden days of 40.

The Weeks Days.
tFrom the Christian Advocated

Sunday, no doubt is the day most
easily conceived as separate image
1t is full of peculiar associations. 1t
is a time of emancipation. Some
bondage of routine has held the spirit
for all the week. Today the mill
ceases to grind. The man belongs to
himself.
Monday comes after Sunday, with
all that this involves-the cold plunge
into mundane work again the sad
cropping up of little things we meant
to have finished the week before the
feeling of slight reluctance to under
taking the accustomed burdens. and
this oddly mixed with certain sense
of freshness of fiber in tackling them.
Tuesday has only this hold on our
recognition, that it is not SO far from
Sunday but there is distinct, if di-
minished flavor of its being still
along the first of the week" But
tomorrow, we feel, will be already the
middle of the week. There is, ac-
cordingly. slight hurry up"- tinge
about Tuesday.
If we search cautiously in our mem
tai impression of Wednesday, we may
find a kind Of leisurely and humdrum
look that is all its own. The hour
for the first-of-the-week dash into
great enterprises is gone. We are in
the midst of everything, with time
enough before us to prevent hurry,
but not enouoh to invite any vigor of
attack.
Thursday begins to have dim pc
numbra of a sense of end-of-the-week
about it. 1t has to greater degree
the hurry-up suggestiveness of Tues
day, but with this marked difference:
on Tuesday it was the haste of hope
now it is the haste of fear Friday
has its fsh-inversely appropriate for
fasting, as being the most voracious
of animals. 1t is as if one cried,
Shameless monster of appetite, be-
hold to what end it hath brought
thee for this l thee devour -
Saturday faces backward. 1t is
time of retrospect. We clean up odd
jobs. To the children it is play-day.
To the college world it continues that
character, and we never entirely out
grow the sense of it.

A Good Road Warning.
(From the washington Post.)

The propaganda for good roads is
accomplishing great results. The ef-
feet of the campaign is being felt in
almost every State in the Union. The
awakening to the necessities of the
situation has come none too soon, but
now that the battle is practically won
and millions of dollars are being in
vested in the improvement of the
highways of the nation, it cannot be
realized too soon that constant and
untiring vigilance is the price of good
roads. No matter how we'll built the
new roads may be, unless liberal pro-
vision is made for their maintenance
they will deteriorate and become lit
tie better than at present. Some OF
the finest highways constructed In
New York and Massachusetts have
suffered from lack of care in keeping
up to the original standard, involving
an entirely unnecessary expense for
the taxpayer Virginia and Maryland,
now in the midst of ambitious good
roads programmes, will profit by this
example if they be wise.
In this feature of road work, as in
all others, France points the way
to success. The mobility Of the crust
of the road can be lessened by keep
ing it free from mud and dust and
snow and ice by preventing it from
becoming too dry and by maintaining
the proper contour of the surface SO
that water is quickly shed. The
realization of this ideal means the
perfect road. Maintenance is the
secret of the success of the French in
goods, and while the higher price oi
labor in this country will not permit
the same painstaking care, the French
method is the ideal which should be
approximated as nearly as possible

Love Ones Work.
tFrom the Ohio State JOurnal.)

Tia man doesn't love his work. he
had better get something else to do.
But the trouble is that such people
will hardly love any kind of work.
The trouble is in them. They lack
intelligence. If they knew enough to
know good work they would soon
learn to love it. The manual training
scheme has this in view-to surround
the Job man is doing with such in
telligence and taste as will make it
attractive to him.
THE man who is in love with his
lob gets more contentment out of life
than any other,' says Brander Mat
thews, and he gets great part OF his
contentment in doing his work right.
No man can love his work who shirks.
No man can be contented who is dis
honest about his work. This is
shirking or doing it negligently. So
these things always gotogether--hon-
est work, contentment and love OF the
lob.
