Of the state condemn the practice OF
playing baseball and football, the
other day just before the game of foot
ball was played between the Univer-
sity and A. and M. teams, the boys
of the University assembled In room
at their hotel in Jackson and held a
prayer service, asking the Creator to
aid them in winning the game. The
coach of this team is a devout Chris
tan and was instrumental In having
the boys assemble for this thanksgiy
ing service, as he termed it. Wheth-
er the Lord was in sympathy with the
boys or not in the game, the Univer-

played as well as prayed with earn

were streaming down the cheeks of
some of their facs when. the prayer
was concluded.-Newton Record.

A FAIRY STORY.

"The Washington Post, apropos of
LIES many WORRIES" says the Mem
phis News-Scimitar, "narrates that
a few nights ago a we'll
known temperance advocate of North
Adams, Mass, slipped on the ice and
broke both legs. The pain was ex-
circulating, and he rolled on the side
walk and appealed to the passers-by
for help
Men and women walking past the
helpless man made a detour, and, as
frequently happens, simply murmur-
ed, Drunken beast" Many Of them
undoubtedly were temperance advo-
Gates themselves. They believed in
charity, helpfulness, and brotherly
love. And so they turned up their
noses and passed by.
After five or ten minutes, during
which the temperance advocate
groaned and writhed on the cold pave
ment, the town drunkard came along.
'Hello' he said, looks as though
you're up against it, And the town
drunkard carried the temperance ad-
vocate to the house of the nearest
DOCTOR"
The above is very pretty little
fairy story. 1t is, doubtless, the coin
age of some skeptical brain, whose
wish was father to the thought. 1t
points story and adOrns a
tale" 1t should have begun with the
old familiar prefix, "once upon a
time" Perhaps it really did happen
once upon a time" Just once. And
certainly SO marked an exception to
q general rule deserves all the pub
licity 1t can get. As a rule, almost
without an exception. 1t is all the
poor town drunkard" can do to
