/ ~ ACRAMENTO is proving big surprise in
~ the series with the Angels this week by

! for themselves in their at home series before
! starting on the road During their stay at
home they had great difficulty in winning
game a week. but since they went on the road

| regularly. Getting away TO a bad start here
! Tuesday and Wednesday, they picked up
Thursday and yesterday and beat the two
! best pitchers in the league, Thorsen was
| their first victim and Nagle was next. and
! they are improving fast. Thorsen was found
/ easily for enough hits TO net four runs, while
| the Angels were lucky to get one run off
! Baum. Nagle gave only six hits, but they
were sufficient to give the Senators one run
and credit for a whtewash victory, while the
Angels could do nothing with Hunt when 1t
| came to scoring. AS predicted in these
columns Tuesday morning. the Senators will
improve and may turn out yet to be the
dark horse of the Coast league pennant race.

Joe Levy is the champion hard luck kiddo
these days and it is all undeserved. He came
to Los Angeles from Chicago several weeks
ago with Morrie Bloom, a most promising
lightweight. and has been able to get his boy
on for three scraps, two of which were staged
But in order to show that he has a good boy
he was forced to take preim stunts a
starter and made money out Of them,
although expenses were running along very
merrily all the time. Then, after he had a
chance to make good. Morre had TO go and
get sick and lose the match with Al Rogers.
Levy probably will take charge Of Marty
Cutler, the white boy who came here as spar
ring partner for Jack johnson. and thinbs
that the dearth of good heavyweight material
at this time may enable him to pick up some
OF the loose change he has dropped since
coming TO the coast. II anybody deserves a
good break in luck it is Joe and here's hoping.
There is chance that Tommy Burns may
be as good as he was when he left Los Angeles
for his worldwide tour but even II he is he

Making Appropriate Gifts.


The year just closing has been so
prosperous that the spirit Of phian
thropy will find very large expression in
the giving OF Christmas cheer at home
and abroad, writes Cyrus L. Jones In
Success, The transatlantic mails are
already burdened with the money let
ters sent from America to "the old
folks at home
Next to the gifts which brighten the
home of the American citizen, those
given to worthy charity are important
to consider, Too many people give in
discriminatory, They mean well, but
so did the committee which sent
$4,000 worth of fireworks to the Irish
famine sufferers.
Still Others give something Of no
value whatever An instance of this
was made manifest at a public gath,
ering in New York. where one of the
speakers called attention to the suffer
ers from prolonged strike and sug-
gested the advisability of giving them
something, One in the sympathetic au-
dience got up and said. 81 move that
we give them three cheersw Let us Sc
lect our gifts with reference to their
appropriateness aud utility.

Children at christmas Time.

We watched the trooping children play
About the old house, once so gray
And still. Then darkness fell,
And one by one they said farewell.
The music and the laughter stopped,
The play was done, the curtain dropped.
The waning lamp of mirth burned low
With each last cry across the snow.
And we, old friend, were left alone.
What was it lost that we had known?
Old friend and true, must even we
Find nevermore what used to be?
Man lives by change; through ebb and flow
The new lives come, the old lives CO.
We lose and gain, yet year by year
The aging heart grows more austere.
II may be that the strain and stress
OF our mad times tempt joyessness;
II may be that our feYerish days
Forget the old more genial ways;
1t may be, too, the ashes OF
Dead hopes and dreams have smothered
love!
But plain it stands, no more we hold
Earth's fond good fellowship OF old.
Yet thanks to one small spark, old friend
AS down the dusk of things we trend,
Ago shall not strip our very heart
OF all its old congenial art.
Aye, thanks to each small voice and light
That lent its youth to us tonight,
And thanks to that strange fugitive
Enduring love by which we live,
Through childlike eyes and childlke act
We yet shall hold our youth intact!
And thanks TO one stil iovial day
We still, old frietl, shall make our way
BY thought and mem'ry through the snow
To youth and that lost long ago
Where laughter holding both his sides
Made all our days seem Christmastides!

THE GOBLIN KNOCKEDth air ana IL
HIM DOWN. would return with
the object of his choice and lay it at
his feet
But alas, there was a wicked little
goblin peeping through from the bough
Of peach tree, and, though he had not
heard about or seen the boomerang,
he had caught all regarding the magic
opal and had seen Billy place 1t un-
der his tongue. So when the little
black boy had hidden goodby, thank
ing the fairies for his Christmas feast,
and started home again he was way
laid in the bush by the evil goblin,
who had followed him out of the gar
den to rob him. Billy refused to give
up his stone and cried for help, but
the goblin knocked him down and beat
him till he lost consciousness. Then
the wicked creature forced open his
mouth, stole the magic opal and ran
away with 1t as fast as he could.
When poor Billy recovered he soon
noticed that the opal was gone AID
guessed who had taken It, but he was
sitting miserably on the ground, he
opened his mouth wide and cried long
and loud. But this he soon realized
was a silly, useless thing to do. Just
then he spied his boomerang, which
he had quite forgotten, on the ground
nearby, and, remembering what the
blue fairy had told him, he picked 1t
up, and, jumping to his feet, he threw
1t skillfully high into the air.
Away It swung without touching the
trees, and, sure enough, as the goblin,
a couple of miles Off, was just admir-
ing his plunder, the boomerang lifted
It out of his hand before his
very eyes and carried 1t back to
the feet of its rightful owner. Billy
shouted for JOY, and, putting 1t
once more in his mouth. he took
his wonderful toy under his arm
and sped down the hill. When he
reached the vineyard he saw the gar
dener still at work, SO, asking him
what he would most like as a token
of gratitude for the grapes, the old
man looked him up and down and
answered, "There is not much a little
fellow like you could do for me-"
~ can do my best" said Billy.
"There is only one thing 1 want"
said the gardener sadly, "and that is
the little daughter lost In the bush
year ago"
No sooner said than the boomerang
went whizzing through the air as be-
fore, and In a few moments 1t came

Whereupon, moved to sympathy, he
gave her all he had let.
To his astonishment as she was eat.

queen all dressed in soft. shimmery

said, II mean to reward you in the

Billy was Overjoyed and at her bid
ding followed her through the bush till
they reached wonderful garden filed
with brilliant flowers and fruit which
surpassed his widest dreams. Straw
berries grew In masses all along the
borders, and the trees were laden with
luscious ripe peaches, nectarlnes, figs
aad every other southern fruit he had
ever thought or heard OF In or out OF
season.
Here they entered. and the blue fairy
summoned ten other little fairies just
Billy's own size and age to wait upon

different colors, so that as they fitted
about him In the sunlight with their
floating gossamer gowns they looked
like a rainbow.
Feast the little darky boy;
Give him pudding. fruit and toy;
Sing and dance and merry make:
Don't forget the Christmas cake
For the goodly darky boy!
Having sung and danced for him,
they then set the Christmas dinner on

cream, and grape cake. mince pies

OF q hot plum pudding with holly, as
the cold countries have, there was
huge Ice cream pudding with precious
stones instead Of raisins through 1t,
and a piece Of yellow waffle blossoms
stuck In the top.
Five fairies sat at one side Of the
table and five at the other, while
Billy sat at the foot. and the blue

glasses with magic wine, so that all
who drank would be lucky all the
