Stocking Club

AS we are asked by great many
people about the origin of the Christ
mas Stocking club we decided to re-
publish the story of the club which
appeared in the Courier Junior Dec. Z,
1905. Our club was the very first
Christmas Stocking club in this part OF
the world. Since then many Of the
papers in nearby states have followed
in the Courier Juniors footsteps, and
we are happy to say, met with great
success. Here is the first notice OF
our stocking club as it appeared In the
Courier of the above mentioned date:
Dear Juniors: The beautiful Christ
mas season is here and no doubt you
are wondering what you can do to
make this Christmas happy one for
all the little children in the world.
cat Christmas-tide the open hand,
Scatters its bounty DER sea and land,
And none are left to grieve alone,
For love is heaven and claims his own
This little verse has left another
Christmas thought with us. We have
been forming beautiful idea tor q
Christmas club. The idea is not an
original one, but came to us last sum-
mer in reading an account or the
death of friend in Texas. This
friend had many children herself and
also had such big heart that she
wanted to make all the little children
In the world happy at Christmas any
way. Well, she formed a Christmas
Stocking club and all the Juniors and
their mammas and papas in this texas
town helped her. You know that If we
wish to give presents at Christmas
time and do not want our friends to
know from whom the gifts come, Santa
Claus will deliver them for us If we
ask him. Then again, Santa claus
does not always give useful presents.

Santa Claus Christmas Headquarters
Dear Santa: We want the Courier
Junior to help you this Christmas eve.
We thought we would form Christ
mas Stocking club We will not tell
the Juniors about it until you answer
this letter. Our idea. partly bor-
rowed one, is to have each Junior buy
pair Of nice warm stockings. fill one
OF the stockings with candy. nuts. an
apple, an orange, or anything they
want to put in it, also put in the re-
manning stocking, and send 1t to you,

Now, dear Santa Claus. we want you
to take these stockings and all that
is in them to distribute for us.
Hoping for an early reply, we re-

After Mrs. Greyson had finished ar
ranging her gifts on the tree she
turned out the gas, leaving the room
lighted dimly by the glow from the
CRATE. And then, shifting the air, she
said aloud so that Bonnie overheard
her: 'The room Is too warm and
needs fresh air. There will be about
IL persons in here tonight and the
parlor must not be stuffy. I'll open
one of the windows So saying, she
went to the window that was directly
beside the one on whose ledge perched
freezing Bonnie. and opened the lower
sash some ten inches. leaving the cur
tain drawn aside so that the fresh all
might come in freely. Then the good
lady left the room, calling out in the
hall: Come, children, dinner Is wait
ing And we must hurry bit, for our
company will arrive precisely at s. and
Santa Claus must not be kept out IN
the cold, you know"
Then Bonnie heard scurrying oil
children's feet along the hall, mingled
with glad voices. Then door opened
and closed and the sounds Of feet and
voices ceased. The Greyson family
were gathered round the table in the
dining-room in the rear Of the parlor.
Bonnie peeped cautiously at the open
window, hoped near to it and peeped
again. "Ah, ah," he said. II can &C
in that way. How kind the lady was
to open it for me-" And he went into
the parlor, flying directly to the small
table on which May had left the bit OF
sweet cake It didn't take Bonnie long
to enjoy good dinner, for he ate Of
the cake till his breast began to pro
trude most noticeably. Then, feeling

FOOTBALL SQUAD
STARTS PRACTICE
Coach Merle Harmon Leads High
School Gridiron Warriors to
Field and Work Commences.

The candidates for the Rock Island
high school football team of 1910 held
their first real practice of the season
last night. There were 16 on hand in
moleskins. Immediately after school
in the afternoon Coach Merle Harmon
held meeting for the members of the
squad and they outlined their plans
for the year as far as was possible at
their first meeting. 1t was decided to
practice at Reservoir park for the
time being until arrangements are
made for playing either at Exposition
park or at the baseball grounds. After
the meeting no time was lost in get
ting into uniforms and reporting at tie
practice grounds. The afternoon was
spent in kicking and catching the ball.
with a little rough work such as fall
ing on the ball in order to get the boys
hardened up so that bumps and bruises
will not hurt. From now on the squad
will practice steadily, getting into con-

probably be with the alumni

AND NOW JEANETTE
Is IN THE DISCARD
Follows Lang Out of List of Possible
Champions When Langford
Trims Him.

Boston, Sept 7.-When Referee
Charlie White declared Sam Langford
the winner over Joe jeanette in their
15-round bout at the Armory A. A.
last night, most of the fans figured
that it meant the elimination of Jean
cite from the list of contenders for
the crown held by Jack Johnson.
Both were a bit slow in starting in
the boxing was about the fastest that
has been displayed in this section for
a long time.
1t was Langford's lefts to the jaw
and stomach and his rights to the jaw
that made Jeanette look weary many
times. Sam did some good counter
ing and got inside many of the stiff
lefts that Jeanette shot for his face.
Langford did not use his right upper
cut a great deal, but when he did, he
would land on Jeanette's chin with
such force that Jeanettes head would
go back. The latter did great deal
of his scoring with a left jab to the
mouth and nose and a right on the
kidneys and stomach.
A few times during the contest it
looked as if Langford would make this
result a decisive one but Jeanette
wonderful recuperative powers stood
him in stead and he came back before
Langford could get over the K o.
