PlINY'S COUNTRY HOMES.
The Famous Roman Loved the lusu-
rious Life OF His Day.

1
Pliny gives us minute and loving
picture of his country homes of Como,
where he was born and which he loved
with the tenderness OF Cowper:
Scenes that soothed
And charmed me young. no longer young,
| find
Still soothing and of power TO charm me
still
Of his elaborate and splendid villas In
Tuscany and at Laurentum, which he
describes with a detail of singular in
terest to the antiquarian, halls, baths,
libraries, porticoes, sitting rooms for
the day and for the night, for com
pany. for privacy; chambers looking
out upon the wide prospect, sea or
stars, chambers hidden and secluded,
where no noise of busy people comes,
no murmur of the waves, no tumult OF
the storm. nor glare Of lightning-nay,
If you wish. not even the light OF day,
when the shutters are closed;' trim
gardens, with MOWERS and fruit and
shade, and over the whole dwelling
gladstone vines. creeping from roof to
roof up to the highest peak of all.
They knew what luxury was, those
wealthy Romans. and Pliny was by
no means one of the wealthiest.
We hear not only of Pliny's abodes
but OF his friends and he was a man
to have many OF them. The most
august was the Emperor Trajan him
self. and n collection of letters sur
wives exchanged between the two
when Pliny was governor Of the prov
inces Of Bithynia and Pontica. The
most interesting of these deal with
the treatment of the Christians and
show the attitude OF n humane and
kindly Roman gentleman toward those
who, he felt must he punished, not
because they held outlandish beliefs,
but because the refused 10 recognize

The school saving department in

Ii was with some hestancy that the
board of education decided to ado
this department To the school. it be-
ing thought that the district was not
large enough TO support the depart
ment comfortably and that IL would be
somewhat of an expense, but after a
thorough investigation into its merits
and success in the larger schools Il
was decided TO give it fair trial. Ii
has certainly proven a success in Il
very short time.

AN ERRONEOUS IMPRESSION.
School Does Net Approve Of Cigarette
Smoking at ANY AGE.

An erroneous impressions seems IL
exist in Houghton among the boys be.
tween the ages OF IL and II about the
cigarette smoking law. according to the
village officials. this being due in large
part To the fact that the school author
tiles In Houghton in prosecuting the
campaign against the tobacco dealers
cited II as the age limit for youthful
smokers.
Supt Doelle when seen about
the matter declared that he was fully
cognizant OF the fact that the state
law on the subject made IL illegal To
sell cigarettes to boys under Fl years
Of age and that the civil authorities
were expected to see that this law
was enforced. When the campaign
started. Mr. Doelle declared that he
had gone Ia an attorney about tho
subject and had found that II was
beyond the province OF the school
authorities to try to enforce the 81
year law but that he had authority &c

kept from smoking and ne had taken
this step.

Houghton Department
PLAN TO COACH
LOWER GRADERS
Physical Director Thinks Athlet-
les Can Be Improved

Physical Director Wagner of the
Houghton public schools has a plan
in mind whereby he hopes to increase
the quality of athletics played by the
Houghton high school teams.
According to Mr.. Wagner, the place
20 train the young players is not dur
ing the ten weeks that football is
played in the high school or dur
ing the three months that the high
school basketball season lasts but the
task Of developing young players
should be begun down in the lower
grades and then by the time a boy
has reached the high school he has
been strengthened and trained enough
so that he can get out and compete
with the older players for places on
the team without having to spend two
or three years on the scrub or Sec
und team
To Encourage Youngsters.
MIR Wagucr's plan is not to teach
the young players to play solely with
the idea of making high school ma
terial, but ne believes that by inter-
esting them I'M athletics ne viii soon
interest them i'm the vigorous. healthy
life that goes with them and thus
give them more ambition to take part
in sports.
Mr.. Wagner would not treat all of
them alike either. Some of the older
boys. those i'm the sixth. seventh ard
eighth grades would be taught to play
football, baseball and track work much
like the high school players are.
Some of the lower grades have or
ganized football teams and are now
playing a regular series of games. Mr..
Wagner finds now that the regular
scholastic season has been closed that
he has more time to devote To these
classes and viii in the future try to
assist them wherever possible.

out two hits yesterday, both being OF a

Herzog scored the only run counted by
the Giants. He had little TO do In the

was lucky to stop the ball. For the first

him. He missed fine chance TO do some
thing to send his name echoing through

Yerkes for the first out in the sixth
inning, after Tesreau and Devore had so
industrlously singled. A telling blow here
would have changed the whole complex

he may have been thinking about the

him the next time"
