The World Champions.

rhe world championship series of 1911

the glorious uncertainties of the game OF
base ball. Five contests had been waged
between two teams so evenly matched
that in any one OF the engagements one
hit or one error added might have
changed the result. The pitching was gilt
edged. the fielding in the main was super

Six of the greatest composers of the

Mendelssohn in 1919, Chopin and Scnu-

Wagner in 1913. The Verdi centenary is

Use the Schoolhouses,

Gradually the idea is gaining ground
that there is great economic waste in
the average schoOlhouse. which stands
absolutely idle for at least three months
of the year and save in a few instances
is never used at night. For over two
thirds of the time the schoolhouses in
the country are of no value whatever TO
the communities in which they stand.
In a few cases summer schools are held
during vacation. and some of the build
ings are used for night school purposes
during part of the scholastic year. Sug
gestions have been made from time to
time in Washington to give the people
the benefit of the schoolhouse plant to a
greater extent. but nothing has yet been
done practically in this direction. In
Boston the Woman's Municipal League
has devised "A plan to this effect. 1t is
proposed TO organize young men and
women into clubs for literary. musical
and other intellectual purposes and as
semble in the school building in their
locality at least once a week. The
scheme is to be tried in East Boston
first. and If 1t succeeds ii will probably
be adopted in other parts of the city.
A glance at the downtown streets of
Washington after dinner will convince
almost any one of the need of efforts
here to take the young people out of the
glare of the lights and away from the
unwholesome conditions that prevail in
the heart of a big town at night. A cur
few law will not suffice. Something more
is needed than command to get of
the streets. The parents have not made
the homes attractive and the children
are left to their own devices. Motion
picture shows and public dances and Chi
nese restaurants and other more or less
dangerous forms of diversion are the only
resource for entertainment when the

That End Seat.

From the Columbus Ohio State Journal.
The season for the END seat hos Is

concerned but 1t is just beginning else
where-shall We say 1t. and we hate TO
say il, in the churches? Is 1t possible
that there is where the warrant TOR the
nractice in the trolley comes from? People
see il i'm the church. and of course justly
it in the street car. 1t may not always
be so. but insisting on holding an emo
seat and making others push by or CLIMB
over has a tinge of selhshness In II that
looks very strange in church whose
gospel is unselfishness. There Is no place
where the Christian spirit shows up more
finely than where one moves up and gives
his brother or sister choice seat. IT Is
a way of 'preferring one another that
the Scriptures speak OF.

A handbook gambler got a sentence OF
two months at Oocoquan yesterday. long
enough to enable him to reflect that there
are better ways of making living than
by taking profits on the avarice of others.
Perhaps when he returns to town he will
realize that while car conducting and
ditch digging may not be as remunera-
tive as the peddling of race pools. they
are safer and probably more profitable In
the long run.

be the result, however, of just such re-

Thinking Pure Thoughts.

Sometimes in passing through a
crowd, we see a face which attracts
us by its sweetness of expression. Per-
haps it is an old face, crowned with q
glory Of hoary hairs; yet love, JOY, and
peace shine out OF every dot and
wrinkle in it. Sometimes it is q young
face that beams with health and pur-
'ity and beauty. But whether old or
young, when we see that unmistakable
soul-light in Il face we know that the
heart behind 1t is pure, the life good,
and that the body thus illuminated is
the temple Of the Holy Spirit TO keep
the mind occupied with good, pure,
useful beautiful and divine thoughts
precludes the possibility of thinking
about, and thus being tempted by,
things SINFUL low, or gross. 1t Is be-
cause st. Paul knew this that he says
so earnestly: Finally, brethren,
whatsoever things are true, whatsoever
things are honest, whatsoever things
are just, whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are of good report,
think on these things" On the we'll
formed habit Of thinking pure thoughts
lies the secret of being pure in heart;
