You dear OLD goose, don't you know
yet that a woman always expects a man
to do the opposite of what she bids him do?
But now prove that o love me by going
out for a ride with me this afternoon, in
my rational suit"
She said this, half fearing this bold and
final test of hers to see IL his repentance

wishes delighted Agnes. It was worth all
the agony of quarrelling with Berthe. If
only to come out 20 triumphantly from
the debate.
Punctually al . o'clock that same. after
noon, Jessie came up to her young mis-
tress's bedroom. She seemed to be con-
vulsed with suppressed laughter and held
her handkerchief over her mouth, as II
she feared her unseemly mirth might
break forth
Please, miss. Mr.. Ferrars is In the

on her rational dress.

"Don't be an idiot. Jessie. What's the

So saying, a. she had just put the finish

hurried down to the drawing-room. But

Soap Box Sermon Won Cheer.

From the New York World.
The foxes have holes. the birds of
the air their nests. but the Son of Man
hath not wherein to lay His head"
This vas the text Sunday night of
the Rev. Mr.. Niicodemus, the Worth
monument preacher" from his soap box
pulpit of mercy" in front Of the Hoff-
man house.
About him were 100 of the city's dere-
licts. None of them had homes, all
were without overcoats, many bereft Of
hope, and budding close to their fell
loWmen like sheep in a snowstorm.
The preacher stuck to his text as the
crowd about him grew into hundreds.
His voice above the song of the wind
that whistled about him could every
minute or so be heard:
THE foxes have holes
An automobile with men who were
full Of the spirit of Christmas eve
stopped. One, in a fur coat. got out.
He sided up to the soap box pulpit and
handed h preacher a crisp, green bill.
The eyes of those on the firing line
OF that pathetic, hungry. shivering
army grew bright. There was the price
of a bed and breakfast for hall the
wretched group in that bill. and they
saw h a 1t was tucked down tight In
SNN~ . PoShGls
A party of women paused and lis
tened. The clanking of chains and the
chog-chOg of the motor cars Of the rich
dimmed the preachers voice, but above
1t all they heard:
But the Son of Man hath not where
to lay His head"
The nan on the soap box never
stopped to thank. While one hand
raked in the golden flow OF money the
other stretched dramatically into the
| night wind to emphasize the words:
1.-The foxes have holes Inc the birds
of the air their nests, but the sons of
| man"
Picking up his pulpit he started for
the Bowery. Mary's lamb never fol-
lowed more devotedly his mistress thar
| did that stirring herd the preacher and
his Christmas collection.
When he reached the lodging house
near Blocker street a strange thing
happened. The preacher "frisked" HIM
self. Out on the table came the bills
and coins. He counted it before the
eyes of the derelicts. One hundred and
fifty-one dollars and forty cents.

WILL SHOW NOTHING.
Georgetown Eleven Not to Exhibit
Full Strength This Afternoon.

The Georgetown eleven by no means ex-
poets to show anything in the game this
afternoon that will in any way help out
the Virginia team. There are bound to
be scouts from the Virginia camp on the
field for the sole purpose of getting a
line on the team that they will have to
meet one week from today.
Georgetown will surprise even it's most
ardent admirers in the big game next
Saturday. It is true that the team has
been crippled to a certain extent, and
that throughout the whole season some
star man has been on the injured list, but
at that every member Of the team will
be in the best of shape when the time
comes for this big game.
The team for the Virginia game is
nearly decided upon, but the showing of
few men who are to be tried today
will determine exactly who will start the
big game. Mullaney's work today will
be watched to determine whether or not
he will be able to play this important po-
sition. Mullaney Is big and powerful and
has the ability. Ritch, who has been
playing at center. has done good work,
but whether Mullaney will be started In
place of Ritch will be decided upon Null
laney's showing today.

9-Owing to misake by the manager
OF the Richmond Blues, Virginia has no
game scheduled for today. After the Vir
ginia manager had considered the game
as definitely settled it developed that the
Blues manager had gone ahead and ar
ranged another date. In reality the scrubs
could put up a stronger game than the
Richmond boys, but the latter were de-
sired in order to try out some trick plays.
knowing the varsity signals, the scrubs
are better enabled to break Up any var
sity play.
The same routine was followed yester-
day as on previous days of the week-a
long signal drill followed by a short
scrimmage. The varsity continued its
form and slipped over two touchdowns
in addition to a touchback. Elliott sur
prised every one by sending Gooch in at
quarterback. The speedy back was the
whole show, making both touchdowns on
long end runs. Buck Mayer received a
long try-out in the varsity backfield and
made favorable impression. He anu

BASE BALL STAR OF
OTHER DAYS IS DEAD
Clarence Cupid ChiIds Ex-
pires at st. Agnes Hos
pitaI, Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, Nd, November 9.-C;ar-
ence l.. Childs, once star second base
man and heavy hitter of the Cleveland
club when it was in the National Base
Ball League. and known to all the older
Baltimore fans by the pet names of
"Paca," Fatty and Cupid died at 10
] O. clock yesterday morning at St. Agnes
Hospital.
With him at the time of his death was
his wife. who had watched by his bed
daughter. He had been in the hospital
for only few weeks, but had been Sc
riously ill for a long time. A week ago
many of his former felow-players in the
National League contributed literally to
his aid. Though once well-to-do. he had
lost his money through unfortunate real
estate deals and died with almost moth
ing.
When in his prime 'Paca" Chiids was
considered the fastest second baseman
and one of the heaviest hitters in the
major base ball leagues. He was the
idol of the base ball fans. and, though
never playing on the old Oriole team in
Baltimore, he was always given warm
welcome here because he was Balti-
more boy. In those days Cleveland was
the greatest drawing caro- mere OF any
of the big league teams. for its manager
was the nagging, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
BILE Pat Tebeau.
His professional career began in 1883
on the Durham team of the North Caro-
lima State League. Within five years he
had seasoned into an exceptional player
and was taken on the Syracuse team in
1885, The next year found him on the
Cleveland team, and it was there that he
did his greatest work, winning the pace

last professional position was in Schenec-

he left professional base ball and entered
the real estate business. He purchased

MAKES SPLENDID FINISH

NEW YORK. November 9.-As a self.
perpetuating pocket billiard champion Al
1redo De Orc last night covered himself
with glory and gave a new and brighter
polish to his crown by defeating Franh
Sherman of Washington by a final score
of 600 balls to 466 in their match i'm John
Doyle's academy, on West 42d street
The last of the three blocks of points was
especially brilliant, so far as the veteran
champion was concerned. He finished ur

of POT balls for the night, which was re.

which he deliberately terminated by a
safety. for De Orc never allowed his chal-
lenger anything gratuitously.
1t was the certainty with which De Orc
brought off his combinations and his po-
sition maneuyering that sent him along
speedily. In this respect Sherman dis
played greater weakness than he had on
any of the two other nights. Altogether
he sent only a total of 12s balls rolling
into the pockets for the night, which was
reduced by seven scratches. 1t was his
worst performance of the competition and
he was careless at times, not taking the
usual advantage of calling scratches
against De Orc on three occasions Only
three times did Sherman clear the table
and his best run was twenty-five balls
Each of the players took the break twelve
times. but it was the champion who made
the most of his opportunities by the mar
velOuS manner In which he controlled
! the cue ball for position
Right through the deciding block Of
points Sherman wrecked his most promis-
ing chances by sewing himself up in i'm
possible positions. He brought off his
long shots far better than De Orc in the
majority of instances. At combinations
he aroused the crowd that packed every
inch of the little academy by working
gittering caroms that were wonder
fully conceived and spendidly executed.
1t was when he had the ivory globes
scattered around him in the profusion
that spells a feast for the pool player
that he messed the layout by rolling into
poor position. There was none Of the
skillful maneuvering that had sent him
ahead on the first night of the contest.

bad luck, none other than Sherman was
to blame for the most of it.

effect on Sherman's nerves. Outwardly

there was bit of safety fitting. and De

AGG|ESEXPECT HARD
GAME At GALLAUDET
Farmers Figure They Are
Against a Strong Eleven
This Afternoon.

The Maryland Aggies came into town
this afternoon for their annual game with
Gallaudet The Farmers are probably in
better condition than since they started
their season. While several of the men,
bers of the squad are suffering from
minor bruises, as a whole it is in fair
shape.
The Farmers figure that they are going
to have a hard time beating Gallaudet
if they can win at all. The Kendall
Green eleven is probably stronger this
year than at any time in its history and
Is capable of giving any of the smaller
elevens a stiff battle. 1t is likely that
the Aggies will have a small advantage
In the weight. but the opinion has been
expressed that this will be offset by the
speedier and more open style of play en-
ployed by the Buff and Blue.
Just how the game will turn out is a
question. Gallaudet will work harder to
beat NJ. A. G. than any other school on
it's schedule and under such conditions it
will not be easy for the Aggies to get
away with the contest. especially since
they are playing on the Gallaudet field.
The lineup of the Farmers team will
be as follows. it being exactly the COM
bination which started the game against
Johns Hopkins four weeks ago: john
son, left end; Bowland, left tackle;
White. left guard; Koehler, center; Will
son, right guard; Hindman, right tackle:
Williams, right end; Knode, quarterback;
Morris, left half: Hoffecker, right half;
Ruff, fullback. Others who are likely to
be used are Pennington and Coster. ends;
Posey and Huntemann. tackles; Eddy
and Smith. guards; Atchison. center:
Loomis, Shipley, Firor and McBierney
in the backfield.
1t was thought that Shipley would be
played in the entire contest but he was
not sufficiently strong to admit of it. 1t
is probable that he will be used in the
coming contests.
After playing Gallaudet today the Farm
ers will meet Washington College and
Western Maryland, both colleges which
have a standing in the Maryland inter-
collegiate race.

private life is Mrs. Joseph Kane.
The pair came to this city early this
