stenographer, and it therefore oc-
Cured to the fresh young clerk that
there was one whom he could guy to
his hearts content. After the lunch
con hour, when all the men were in the
office. seemed the best time to show
what a wag he was.
Tipping them that he was going to
have some fun, he went up to her and
said: "Oh. Miss T, I heard the
funniest story today" and he pro-
ceeded to get off a time honored
patriarch of a joke.
When he had finished she looked at
him guilelessly and said: "Oh, Mr..
x, if you ever hear the mate to
that, will you tell me?"
'0The mate?" said he, rather be-
wildered.
"Wen, you know" said she, "Noah

with him, and now that I know one
of the jokes, really would love to
know the other"

THEIR OLD STORIES

A man who never could tell story
Joined a story tellers' club that thought
it had a corner on the humor of the
universe. The man got along very
we'll so long as he didn't have to say
anything, but there came a time when
he was put on the program for a
humorous story and then his wife
coached him for a week beforehand
on one of her own funnies stories.
When he came home from the story
telling contest she asked him how
things went. He said: pretty well.
All the other fellows told some
mighty good ones" Then he gave a
synopsis of the good ones the other
fellows had told. 'Darned clever,
those chaps are" he said. "I don't
know what they would think of me If
they knew I learned my story from
a woman. They don't think much of
a woman's sense of humor."
"You needn't let that worry you,
dear" she said sweetly. 81 have
heard the other fellows wives tell
their old stories at card parties for the
last five years. New York Press.

GIRLS GARDEN PARTY

Some of the older juniors may enjoy
this suggestion for an interesting and
amusing garden party which can be
easily arranged and will be lovely if
given in some of the beautiful gardens
of California.
In June, last year, girl in our
town celebrated her return from col
lege by giving delightful garden par
ty. The guests were received on the
smooth green lawn which had been
transformed for the occasion into
veritable summer living room.
After each guest had been supplied
with a pencil and numbered card,
the hostess explained that fastened to
the branches were fifteen sheets of
paper, each bearing different leaf,
the name of which was to be guessed
and written opposite the corresponding
number on the card. The leaves
chosen were all from trees and shrubs
growing in the neighborhood, yet it
was remarkable how puzZling they
proved After the winners had been
decided upon, every one was given
sheet of paper having a portion of
nursery rhyme written upon it. In f1f-
teen minutes the drawings were col
lected and pinned to a screen, there to
be voted upon.
AS many of the girls have been mem
bers of a Shakespeare club the preVl-
Gus winter, the next contest was ap-
propriate. Papers on Which were
written the following quotations We're
passed to each guest with a request
that she write on a slip of paper pro-
vided the flowers omitted, together
with the name of the play from which
the quotation was taken. A copy of
one of Shakespeare's plays would make
a charming first prize.

HELPING OTHERS
My Dear Boys and Girls:

MY Lear BOYS ana Girls:
HVERYONE is working as hard at
II school now as it is possible to do,
and 1 know that you feel as
though you cannot take time even to
write one little line for the Junior
However I do appreciate the boys and
girls who are faithful to their little
paper but hope that they will all win
some of the nice prizes I am going to
give this summer. There is a new
contest this week, begun for just four
weeks. I wonder who will win the
first prize in this? It is a sort of COM
bination of fact and fiction. You may
consider the excitement George Wash
ington would have could he return to
our country today. The change in the
mode of living would astonish him a
great deal 1 am sure, and the peace of
the world, which in his day was always
at war. would be another remarkable
point for him to consider. You may
all suggest what reforms he would in
stitute and what men of our own time
he would like best. I believe that you
can write some interesting papers upon
of you will try.
These are the trying days with school
work, and at home too perhaps there
is little tension to show that the sea-
son has been a hard one. 1t is at
such times that 1 want the members
of the Herald Junior family to remem-
ber to be kind, just that If mother is
Il
uation frocks, or making something ex-
ira nice for dinner, and if little brother
is sleepy and tired from playing all
day in the hot sun, then I hope that
my dear nieces will all remember that
even if it does seem a bit of trouble,
they may help smooth out the family
circle, and bring back the happiness
to fathers face while he thinks what
a splendid helpful daughter he has,
and how proud he is of her.
l want to say a little something
about the brothers. l say this to you
girls because l mean it, and because l
unfortunately did not know these
things in my own girlhood and have
regretted it many times since.
Be thoughtful of the boys feelings
Many girls believe that because there
is a rough exterior there are no fine
feelings within. That is seldom the
case. Most boys between 10 and 16 or
IS wears of age are more easily wound
ed, more quickly hurt than their sis
ters of the same age. They are con-
scious of their awkwardness, and of
the fact that in the little graces they
are sadly lacking, and so when sister
says something that reflects a little
on this they become morbid, and per-
hans little bit reckless and turn away
from home for entertainment when they
ought to find the very best and closest
comfort right there with parents and
brothers and sisters.
Don't give the big brothers chance
to get hardened toward you. KeeI
them for your very best friends, and
try to stand in that place to them, and
if you all really try am sure you Will
never have to cry out regretfully, "Oh
might have saved him from this il
had only remembered the words OF
NV loving AUNT LAURIE.

If so, jump on my back,
And I'll give a loud quaek
If we meet the Whoopty- -Doo-O"
So Dear. Duckie Drake.
With fat Bobby Blake;
Flew far away up in the sky;
"If you're good, Bobby Blake!'
Cried Dear Duckie with a shake
"We'n come to the moon by and by
But what will we do

If we meet the Whoopty Doo-O?"

SPORTING COMMENT.
BY J. ED GRuLo.

While the American League pennant
was conceded to the Athletics several
weeks ago, there was until yesterday Just
a possibility that Pittsburg might wrest
the lead from the Cubs IN the National
League campaign. but the dual defeat of
the Pirates at the hands Of the Giants
yesterday virtually puts the world s
champions out of the running SO far as
the pennant Is concerned.
There is now hardly a doubt that the
Athletics and Cubs will meet In the
worlds series in October. Nothing but a
miracle could beat either team out Of the
advantage 1t has gained. Pittsburg. like
Detroit. failed to come back" Both got
a poor start in the early spring. and have
never been able to recover from the set
back. Compared to other years this has
not been much Of a race. 1t is over
six weeks before the end Of the sea-
son. There has been no real battle, no
one series on which the pennant hinged.
The winners have been galloping all the
way, and can now put aside whip and
spur and pull up. The race is over. and
the players can prepared themselves for
the crucial struggle for the worlds title.
This year conditions are such that
neither team can claim to be at a disad-
Neither has been under much OF a strain,
and there is over a months time before
the worlds series.
This will be the first time since the
worlds series is being played under the
supervision of the national commission
that the east and west have hooked up.
In 1905 the eastern bagged the plums
when Philadelphia and New York battled
for supremacy. The following year the
two Chicago teams struggled and for
three years Detroit and Chicago hooked
up. Last year II was two western teams,
Pittsburg and Detroit. but this year the
east is sure to get a taste. for the Ath-
ietics have their position cinched.
With half of the games to be played in
Philadelphia and the other half in Chi
cago II will necessitate q long jump, and
1t is most likely that the commission will
schedule two games in one city before
the other is visited.
There is no doubt that one OF the most

valuable men on Connie Mack's team is
Eddie Collins. For several years he has
led his team with the stick, but in those
years the Athletics did not win the flag.
This year Collins, while still a remark
ably good batter, is not hitting up to
his standard, and yet the Athletics are
walking home with the flag.
Just why the Cubs should be favorites
over the Athletics In the worlds series is
hard to figure. True. the Cubs have won
world championships. but that was a
few years ago. and the team has not
shown the same class in this campaign
that II did then.
What have the Cubs done that the Ath-
letics have not? Surely nothing, and if
anything, the Athletics have won their
pennant more handily than will the Cubs.
II the matter narrows itself down to
tainly an even proposition, for Mack
has as many good ones as Chance can
boast OF. The teams look to be fairly
evenly matched. though il there is a
shade In favor OF the Cubs 1t is because
of their knowledge of the game and
many wise heads. But in the series
last year there was no display of STRAIT
egg at all. 1t was a case of playing
the old army game almost exclusively.
In fact. there was not much chance for
when the pitchers are being hit as hard
as they were, with one or two excep-
tions. in the last worlds series.
Nothing advertises city or helps II
in the estimation of others so much as
winning ball team. The little win
ming streak that the Nationals have
been enjoying has caused all eyes in
the base ball world to be cast in this
direction 1t is the first time that
Washington has had a team which was
not the laughing stock of the league,
and comments are being freely made re-
garding the teams chances next season.
