Married Friends.

I am persuaded that friendship is
the basis of true marriage-the man
and woman must be able to get on to-
gether in the serenity of natural COM
radeship without continuous rasp and
jar. They must possess toward each
other the plain and elemental quail
ties OF confidence, loyalty and tender
ness; they must hold the same views
concerning the meaning Of life; each
must desire nothing SO much as the
welfare Of the other; neither can have
aught which is not at the disposal of
the other. Love there must be, In
deed, but not love alone, for love Is
Of fiery essence and often fails to re-
suit in happiness either for the lover
or the loved. There Is, believe, an
Italian proverb, Love is dagger in
the heart" This could never be
said of friendship. The very word
itself is synonym of felicity. Many
husbands and wives, not without love,
fail of amity and dwell In hell be-
cause they are not first Of all friends.
Friendship is the warp and wool OF
human oneness; love is the dye and
pattern which make the fabric splen-
did.-Exchange

INDIAN RETURNS THE MONEY
Conscience Kept Him Awake All
Night So That He Could Not
Sleep, So Gave Up Coin.

An Indian once asked his neighbor
for some tebacGs The neighbor put
his hand in his pocket and gave him
a handful The next morning the In
dian came again, and brought a quar-
ter-dollar which he had found be-
tween the tobacco. The neighbor was
surprised at such honesty, and asked
the Indian why he had not kept the
money.
TT is just like this" he answered,
in my heart have a good man and a
bad man. The good man said: The
money does not belong to you; give
it back to its owner The bad man
said: Tt has been given to you; it
belongs to you The good man re-
piled: That is not true, and such con-
duct is evil: the tobacco belongs to
you. but the money belongs to him
who has given It away by mistake;
you must give 1t back again. The
bad man answered: Think no more
about it and do not let such trifie
disturb you. Keep the money was
in doubt as to which voice Of my
heart ] should listen to. At last lay
down in bed, but the good man and
the bad man quarreled SO all the
night In my heart that had no
peace, so / felt obliged to bring you
back your money"

HOW I WIN
By WILLIAM C'BULL'D DAHLEr
Manager Brooklyn National League Club,
Former Shortstop Ansons Famous
White Stockings

Footwork in baseball is one of the
most necessary things. A man who
handles his feet well, either batting,
fielding or base running, is a good
player, for footwork is better than
ability with the hands. It is as neces-
sary for player to be shifty on his
feet as it is for boxer. No one can
be shifty unless he is on his toes all
the time, and fiat-footed player is as
bad as a f1at-headed one-and usually
the two things go together.
The batter who is on his toes, bal
anced and ready for the Jump, will
hit, for he can shift and swing and
still get his weight behind the bat.
The shifty runner on first is ready
70 move either way-to dive back to
first or go on to second In the field
he moves with the ball, and is moving
when it is hit, SO he covers more
ground.
A young player starting in the bust
ness should watch every move of the
batter, and poise himself for the start
Just as a sprinter does. I remember
that one of the first things taught me
after l Joined the old Chicago club
was starting, and the crowd of great
players under Arson won many games
because they started faster and were
reader in Selling an opportunity than
their opponents were. Another thing
they taught me was sliding to bases,
not only SO as to avoid being touched,
but also to avoid getting hurt or hurt
ing any one. That slide known as the
Chicago slide" was the invention of
Kelly and adopted by Burns, William
son, Pfeffer and the great players of
that day. There is more footwork to
that slide than in any other depart
ment of the game, It consists in
watching the position of the baseman
who is receiving thrown ball and
throwing the body in the opposite d.
rection. sliding on the hip with the
leg partially bent under and the toe
hooking the bag.

"RAILRoAD" IS JOLLY GAME
Each Youngster Represents Part of
Train or official-Breaks Up in
Merry Confusion.

A very jolly game which any child
will grasp readily if he or she is not
already familiar with it, is called
1.-The Railroad
For this the children stand In a
ring and each receives the name of
some part Of the train or OF some Of
fetal. Thus one youngster becomes
the rails, another the whistle, another
the steam, another the conductor, and
so forth. Some older person then in
vents Tor reads aloud) a little story,
into which all the different parts are
mentioned, one by one. AS such child
hears his fictitious name mentioned
he rises and initiates the thing he
represents. For example, the whistle
toots, the steam puffs, the conductor
pulls the bell-rope and cries @All
aboard" the wheels begin to revolVe,
etc.
At the very end Of the story, after
each part has been played couple
Of times, there is mention of "ter-
rible collision" Here all the chill
dren break ranks and rush together
in confusion and the game ends in a
merry uproar.

AMUSING GAME OF INITIALS
Played Much Like Consequences
and Is Excellent Amusement
for Rainy Day.

A pencil and paper game for rainy
day is the initial game. Write your
initials at the top of paper and hand
it on to the next person, as you do in
consequences" Then a set of ques-
tons are read, and the answer must
begin with the initials on the paper.
Between the questions the papers are
passed on, so that every one tries
their skill at the same initials.
We will suppose that some ch1ld's
name is Ruth Pitman, so that her
initials are R. P. Suppose the first
question is How does she look?" The
answer might be really perfect" or
rather pretty"
The next question is What is her
fayorite color?" and the answer might
be 'reddish-purple," or rose pink.
Another question is What is her
favorite dish?" and might be an
answered raspberry pudding or
roasted pineapple" or red plums, !"
or even raw potatoes" What is
her favorite amusement?" can be q
question Why, that might be an
swered by anything from reading
poetry" to roasting peanuts"
What is her greatest accomplish
ments?" Riding ponies" or raising
pansies.''
What is her greatest faul?" RE
current peevishness."
What is her greatest Virtue?'
Remarkable patience"
You see, this Ruth Pitman might
be surprised to find what versatile
person she was, and you will find that
you have made all sorts Of funny and
surprising combinations when the
papers are finally read aloud, at the
end Of the game.

GRANDEsT OF GRAND ARMIES
Estimated Census of 1910 viii Show
School Population of Country as
$4,000, 900.

Using the census of 1900 as basis
of calculation, it is estimated that the
census of 1910 will show that the school
population of the United States num-
bers 100000 persons. The school
army ten years ago was 1885,, lat. Of
that number 4,266,3O2 persons were
between the ages of five and nine, and
6,453.394 ranged from nine to fourteen
years old. About twelve per cent. of
the whole number were from Is to II
years of age, and five per cent. were
IS or upward.
OF all the children between the
ages of five and nine reported In the
census of 1900 only about one-half at
tended school; of those ranging from
nine to fourteen, four-ffths attended
and of those from fifteen to seventeen
a little more than two-ffths. Upward
of 80 per cent. of the entire number
were white. A school army of 14,000.-
900 for 1910 will be a national asset
worth having, comments the New
York Mail. It will constitute a more
convincing demonstration of the coun.
try's resources and strength than an
army of 100000 adults equipped
with rifles and cannon There is rea.
son to believe that In addition to this
growth in numerical strength, the next
census will show that this army has
improved in quality.

BIRD GAME IS INTERESTING
Played on Same Principle as "Fish

Features of Its Own.

Right in line with the present in

game designed by New York man.
The game is played on the same prin-
ciple as fish pond" but has features
all its own. A number of little card
board birds, representing robins, spar
rows, snipe and other species, stand
upright in slots in board. On the
strip that is concealed in the slot each
bird bears a number, making it of a
certain value. A pair of wings,
hingedly connected near one end, fit
closely over the bird when they are
lowered on it, the wings dropping till
