THE CHRISTMAS PUDDING.

"a Recips.)
Take some human nature-aS you mo
it,
The commonest variety will do
Put a little graciousness behind 1t.
Add a lump of charity-or two.
Squeeze in just a drop of moderation.
Half as much frugality-or less,
Add some very fine consideration,
Strain off all of poverty's distress.
Pour some milk of human kindness In
it,
Put in all the happiness You can.
Stir it up with laughter every minute,
Season with good viii toward every
man.
Set it on the fire of hearts affection,
Leave it till the jolly bubbles rise,
Sprinkle it with kisses-for confec-
ton,
Sweeten with a look from loving
eyes.
Flavor it with children's merry chat
ter.
Frost it with the snow of wintry
dells,
Place 1t on holly garnished platter
And serve it with song Of Christmas

ALONE.

Alone! How strangely sad the word,
1t creeps upon my soul unheard,
But yet l know it's true-I feel
Its touch upon my heart-'tis real
try to crush that feeling, try to say
I'm not alone" but tits no use,-away
From some dark place come echoes
sad which say,
Thou are alone"
Alonel 1t steals DER me again.
And with it comes that thrill of pain,
And sadness fills my aching heart,
wonder will it ne'er depart?
VIII there be none on whom can
depend,
Can love. can trust, can think of as
as my friend,
Is Life all false, Oh, win to the end,
Be all alone?
Alone, When will 1 cease to hear
That mournful echo in my ear?
Oh, will it follow every breath,
And only die at last with death?
Alone! Alone! I hear it everywhere,
1t fills my heart and soul with great
despair,
And follows even through each silent
prayer,
Alone! Alone!
Alone! I wonder can I say,
Thy will, oh Christ" or dare 1 pray.
Let this cup pass" an, no, Thy will
Would be my pleasure to fulfill,
For Thou, Oh Christ, has fought too
with despair,
And knelt alone when there was none
to care,
And I have still this comfort, Thou
art near
When I'm alone.

PECULIAR WAY or COACHING
Japanese Baseball Players Make Little
Noise In Getting Runners
Around Bases.

Americans have been not little
amused by the Japanese baseball play
ers who are in this country, not be-
cause they do not play good baseball,
but over one Of their peculiar habits.
They do not coach the way Americans
do. They make signals silently and
reports say that while they may be
deficient In some Of the other features
Of the game. they are certainly mar
velous base runners. It may be due
to this silent signaling. but the aver
age American crowd attending base
ball games would hardly stand for this
sort OF thing In our national interpre-
tation OF the game. What the average
crowd wants Is loud coaching accom-.
panied by all possible antics. This
sort OF thing has tendency to liven
up the crowd itself and, after all, the
real fun Of going to baseball con-
test Is to get in the game little ones
self. The Japanese method may help
along a base runher, but 1t certainly
does not help along the crowd to any
great extent. The average American
is great for noise anyway and when
he gets out and pays good money for
the privilege Of yelling he wants some
thing to sort Of start him. The Japan
csc method would not make much Of
a hit in the United States.

Ben Houser, star first baseman Of

the last three seasons understudy of

purchased by w. H. Watkins of the
Indianapolis club.
Houser was purchased outright at
sum said to be the highest paid for
a big league player this year. The
deal. which had been pending for sew
eral days, was closed the other day.
when Manager Burke received tele-
gram from Connie Mack saying that
the Indianapolis offer had been &C.
cepted and that Houser would report
at once. Houser is also an outfielder
as well as intlelder.
While Houser has the distinction OF
being due Of the best fielders in the
American league. he showed none too
strong with the stick. In twenty-nine
games with the Athletics he folded
his position at first base without a
single error and in the same number
of games he clotted the ball for an
average of .1S9. With plenty of work
