GAME FOR ATHLETIC GIRLS
English Maidens Take Up New Pas
time Goalo, Which Is Expected to
SuppIant Basketball.

The athletic girl in England has
just taken up new game, which Is
expected to supplant basketball In IA
vor. It has some Of the characteris-
tics OF this vigorous pastime. COM
bined with many Of the possibilities
OF association football. The game can
be played either in the open or in a
gymnasium, and is simple. cheap and
healthful at the same time that 1t
affords the necessary amount Of ex.
element. Goal posts with top bar
are placed in the center Of the field
of play Strips Of webbing divide the
upper part OF the goal into squares.
The rival players, who may be one or
half a dozen on each side, are sta
toned on opposite sides Of the goal,
and, with each square numbered, the
object is to score the greatest num-
ber OF points by sending the ball
through the spaces. It is against the
rules to run with the ball, but 1t may
be thrown or kicked. and the game
thus affords excellent exercise for the
arms and shoulders, as Is the case
in basketball. The game, which is
the outcome of prize competition or.
ganized by a newspaper, has been
named Goalo.

GUIDE FOR THE PENHoL DER
Attachments Which Prevents Writer
From Bending His Finger, There
by Producing Neat Writing.

In the art Of penmanship 1t is Of
great importance that the writing be
accomplished by q wrist or muscular
arm movement as contrasted to q
finger movement. The finger move.
ment comes most naturally to the
great majority Of persons and is read
lily acquired. whereas the art Of using
the wrist OF muscular arm movement
is one which must be studied and
practiced. The disadvantage of the
finger movement is that In compare
lively long periods Of writing the
hand becomes cramped and tired. It
Is also impossible with this movement
to write a flowing hand. by virtue Of
which the writing Is much more
speedily and leglbly accomplished.
The object Of the attachment for pen.
holders shown here is to provide a
means for so positioning the fingers
Of the writer that all movement used
in writing must be made from the
wrist and arm and cannot be made

You could have heard the proverbial
pin drop in any part Of that great
chapel as they bent forward eagerly

name Jumbo" Silence for one
stunned moment. then they threw
back their heads and laughed and
laughed as I have never heard an
audience laugh before or since. Nor
could I restore order. Every time they
managed to control themselves, some
one would be overpowered by mirth.
and the whole crowd would break out
into shouts and roars OF laughter

that Jumbo's dislike Of work was the
joke of the prison. He was by all
classed among those born idle. No
one could make him work. At one
time he feigned madness, and did It
most successfully that he might have
a vacation at the State Insane asy
lum, to the great amusement Of the
Boys" who knew that he had planned
It so as to escape work. The idea Of
his having reformed and being in love
with hard work on a farm was to
them almost inconceivably funny. Al.
ter the meeting an officer who had
heard the news as It spread through
the prison came to me and said, rs
1t really true that you got hold Of
Jumbo and got him to work and live
honestly?" When l assented he added
We'll. that beats all. He was in my
gang, but was the hardest man to
get any work out OF in this prison.
Besides this, he was born thief. and
all the time he was in here he kept
stealing anything he could steal. not
because he really wanted the things.
but just to keep his hand in. II that
man has reformed, there is hope for
anybody"
That was over twelve years ago.
Jumbo has proven steadfast. He has
had many difficulties to face. He has
come to his places Of hard test and
trial. He has sometimes almost lost
courage. But he has made good rec.
ord in life. He has held positions Of
trust, and has treasured away many

or police-offlcer dogs his steps now.
No prison cell has ever opened its
doors to him again. He is married,

that its memory serves only as a con-
trast to the glad sunshine of the pres.
