cleared away, which seemed to hamper
the arrangements. and the winner will take
60 per cent and the loser 40 per cent. In
addition there is belt worth $1,000 for

Soccer foot ball is making tremendous
strides in Denmark. for an important
English touring side which won many of
of goals was beaten in Copenhagen. The
Danes played superb foot ball and out
pointed the visitors. The Danish players
are. outside of Great Britain, the finest
OF all European opponents of the game.
and it is now-Iecognized that wherever
an eleven from Denmark is sent the
strongest team possible will have to be
put in the field against them. incidentally
soccer foot ball is going ahead in Russia,
and the heir to the throne is quite an
enthusiast
Encouragement like this is bound to
foster the game 1t is well known that
in another sport the great liking of the
crown prince of Germany for lawn tennis
has led to the extraordinary popularity
of this game throughout the empire. and
the standard of play there has improved
accordingly.
To go abroad to develop a real taste
for a great sport of ones own country
is a curiosity. It would be amusing for
an American to begin to take notice of
base ball, say in South Africa, for a
Canadian to become a lacrosse fan in
England an Australian to begin his
cienet enthusiasm in Philadelphia. But
soccer in Chicago may become a personal
obsession.
There are other matches to go to to-
morrow, and by degrees these will be-
come more interesting when the players
become known. Although the Corinthians
did not attract great crowds. their exposi-
ton has drawn many to the game. 1t Is

Giants are badly in need of rest ana Il
this killing pace keeps up until the last
week of the season they will be In no
condition TO go in a worlds series
Movers. Marquard and Merkle all look
very weary and frayed at the edges.
Mathewson has had a chance to get some
rest C late and he is better than the
others,v but he could also stand week
or ten days of rest without stiffening UP.
McCraw has been driving his men at
terrific pace and he knows that 1t Is
weakening them. 1t is the only way to
win the pennant, however. and they know
1t. too Just as soon as the pennant is
mathematically cinched the substitutes
will be run in and the veterans will have
a chance for rest. In that respect the
Athletics have decided advantage over
the Giants. as they will rest for an en-
tire week before the series opens on Oc
tober ID.
McGraw is very much concerned about
giving Chief Meyers a rest, as the big In
dian will be badly needed when the big
show comes of. Wilson is still suffering
from a sore thumb and cannot go in
and catch for several days. 1t would be
ster like Hartley at such a critical stage
of the race. so there Is nothing to do
but work the Chief.
MathewSon and Vanguard will have to
be carefully groomed from now on. The
RUDE was stiff and sore when he went
in against the Reds Sunday. and for
the first time in many days he cut loose
d wild pitch that helped to lose the
game.
An idea of the work that has been put
spon Mathewson and Marquard can be
Lad from the fact that of the forty games
played by the Giants since their squirt
began thirty have been pitched by these
two twirlers.
McGraw was informed Sunday night
tran studying his style Of play and he
laughed.
Will YOU have some one to look them
over?'' was asked of him.
No Giant Scouts to Watch Athletics.

GAME Of FINGERS

Ned may not express himself quite
as clearly as that, but he will say some
thing like 1t when his unaccustomed
fingers have been tightly grasping the
little crayons until they are cramped
and weary.
Dear me-" says mother. That will
never do" She rubs the precious pink
palm. Lets put the crayons away and
play some other game Come, Bess.
So the crayons and paper are carefully
put away, the table busted, and Ned
and Nelly are ready to play whatever
mother suggests.
Plays Very Useful.
The finger-plays, which are very use
full for times like this, are usually
played with younger children; but they
may be we'll adapted to older ones: A
great many Of them may be found In
the books OF kindergarten songs, and
many more will suggest themselves to

DIVORCE DOES NOT
STOP HEARTACHE
Courts Decree Cannot Dig
Love Up BY the
Roots.
By DOROTHY DIX.
Concluded from yesterday

~, ALL the Dead Sea fruit ip
the world, divorce is thaS
W which is most dust and ashes
in a woman's teeth. When
your heart is torn with jealousy, and
you are angry and hurt, and other
people are sicking you on and telIinR
you to assert your rights and not to
stand for this and that. il seems to
you that a legal separation will be
the surgeons knife that will cut out
the fostering sore and leave you free
from pain.
But divorce works no such miracle.
II you love a man a decree of court
doesn't dig that love I'D by its roots
The ache is still there, without the
hope that you had, as long as he was
bound to you. that some time he
would come back to you. In addition
you have broken up your home. often
you have deprived yourself of a good
living and thrown away the consola-
tton that an esta blishment. a settled
place of her own in society. is IN
every woman.
AND no matter how bitter your family
and friends have been against your hus-
band, or howtmuch they have urged You
to leave him, the woman who goes back
10 her old home a divorced woman. es-
pecially If she has children, finds her
road thorny one to travel.
Rather and mother and sisters and
brothers may be overf1owing with SYM
pathy for poor Mary and her unfortu-
nate little chidren-but poor Mary and
her unfortunate little children crowd the
house, and have to be supported, or help
ed out, and-er-er-well, we are all sell
fish, even the best of US, and when we
get our daughters married we expect
them TO stay married.
And If they are wise they do. Matri-
mony Is no picnic. Heaven knows, but
generally speaking, ii is a gala affair
compared to being divorce. OF course
money, where there is lots of it, giIds
the divorce situation, as it does every
other situation in life, but even aIirnony
doesn't always buy happiness.
Leaving the practical aspect Of the
case aside, however, what greater evil
dence of wisdom is it possible for a
woman to show than to attain to a
philosophy that enables her to pluck
the sweet and let the bitter go IN n1atri-
mony. and to find happiness In her
ing side of himself that her husband
shows her, instead of torturing her
self with bootless jealousy and making
her home a place of stFiEinss ana CON
tentions and reDroacheS?
AT fits best. all life is series Of com
promises None OF US get ttst what
we want, in just the way We want It,
and If you have got a husband who is
companionable, and kind, and generous.
make the most OF that, and cultivate
ophthalmia toward the rest. Keep your

Leo rules strongly this day, tnciting

The indications of the time thus point
to the necessity of exercising selflcon-

Persons who habitually go to eX-

Those who have young persons to edu-

power over others, such as public Of
fcials, magistrates and military officers,
must take heed lest they be swayed into
going to extreme lengths either in Sc

by all who have power.
Stubborn and opinionative people will

MD you ever heard OF The Land OF
II No Children? Well there is such
land and 1t is far across the sea. farther
than sailors and travellers ever go. 1t
is a pretty country snuggled in among
beautiful green hills, but strange to say
the sky is always of the dullest gray.
instead of blue. In time of storm the
sky grows jet black-even blacker than
the nights you know.
But this Is not the story. The story
is of the people who live there. They
are old and move about very slowly.
Their houses are low-roofed and white,
and there is no sound in the Land Of No
Children.
No birds sing from among the trees
no crickets sing their goodnight song.
There are no children's voices, no
shouts, no laughter-just old people
living along day by day worrying the
whole time long as to what they way
lind to interest them on the morrow:
Now here is still another part Of the
story.
1t concerns every little boy and girl
who reads this.
Perhaps you have not heard of this.

is a tree with Handicapped
leaves growing in the West In
dies which should be Of interest

leaves growing in the West In
dies which should be Of interest
to US in America, because its
root-stocks yield US all our tapioca.
This is the manioc plant or tree.
Manioc Is another name for hand, and
was given because the leaves looked
SO much like the hands. The root-stocks
are simply underground stems, not real
roots, and these hang to the subter-
ranean stems.
1t Is from the stems, however, that
the tapioca comes. for they are full Of
starch, like the root-stocks Of their
companion tree, the much smaller ar
rowroot. While op the subject of the
reason for names, II is interesting to
note that, as the manioc tree took its
name from the shape Of its leaves, the
arrowroot by no means did so, yet its
long leaves are all arrow-shaped.
The native Indians Of the tropical
lands that produce both tapioca and
arrowroot knew great deal about
plant properties. SO they understood
Gus principle allied to prussic acid from
the root-stocks Of the manioc, and with
this they poisoned their arrows.
The boiled root-stocks OF both plants
are eaten as delicacies in the West
Indies, and are not inferior to mealy
potatoes.
Milk puddings made from tapioca
are as nourishing as those from sago
or arrowroot, and II can be nodded
well like jelly.
A third of a cupful of tapioca, one
quart Of white stock. one pint of milk
or cream, one onion. two stalks of
celery, two cupfuls of cold water, one
heaping tablespoonful of butter, a
small piece of mace. and seasoning of
salt and pepper.
Wash the tapioca and soak over
night in cold water. Cook 1t and the
stock together. very gently for one
hour Cut the onion and celery into
small pieces and put on to cook for
twenty minutes with the milk and
mace. Strain on the tapioca and
stock. Season with salt and pepper
add butter and serve.

not children because Of their cross faces
and thoughtless words? They just
stand still as the world moves along.
They are of no use in the world
when they are not children.
In fact when they are like that 1t
makes our own land much like the
Land of No Children. Do you think
that is a very nice land?
Can you not picture what far more
beautiful land this would be across
the sea II the merry laughter of little
folks echoed far and near? If the
pretty stories of boys and girls reach
ed the ears of those old people? Why,
If smiling children should ever visit
that land I am sure the birds would
start singing and 1 am equally sure
that the gray sky would sift away
into soft blue.
Isn't 1t terrible to think Of such a

AS long as little boys and girls are

little danger that this country will
ever be called a Land of No Children.
