be elected? These are practical. prob.

There Is sub-consclOus feeling
among the miHldons OF Bryan's devoted
followers THAT there will be dead
iock' and that the convention will
swing to him in spite OF fate. There
IS no discount about this feeling. Put
your finger on the pulse of any real
Bryan man and you can detect It, OF
course we all know he is not a cand-
date and that very thing makes him
al the stronger, and the possibility
all the greater.
This OF course in case Taft Is nomi-
mated, which must be done or the Re-

were tortured to death. We saw chair.

Four or five days ago friend OF mine
known among the boys as Bill Lund-

Last Monday he got a challenge to play a
bigger team than his but he hurriedly got
together a bunch OF little players and
said he would try It, anyway. There
were only two boys bigger than he IL, !
being one Of them,
In the meantime we had no expecta"

they averaged much heavier than any of

very bad disorder. All through the practice

didn't run with the ball once II was the
quarterback every time.
Well, at last our opponents grew I'M.
patient that the game should begin. As
We were on their grounds they kicked
off to US first. We advanced to about
the middle of the field much to our sur
prise. But we lost good ten yards on
our first down as our inexperienced cen.
ter threw the ball far over the quarter
backs head. We were forced to punt on
our fourth down. They were downed
about fifteen yards from their goal and
were also forced to punt. This Is the
way the game went on for nearly all Of
the first half. No scores were made
The second half opened with the ball

How DANNY Got His Sled

BY Martha NJ. Smith, Cooperstown, N. Y.
Danny's father and mother were poor.
Danny was 10 and his sister, Bess, years
old.
Now Danny wanted a sled. When he
saw other boys riding on fine sleds, he
wished--oh how he wished--that he had
one.
| One day Dannys father became very
| i'll. The doctor came and said that he
was afraid that father would never get
well
"Oh Bess. what will we do il father
should de?" asked Danny, crying But"
| he hastened to say, I'VE must not cry
where mamma will see US, for she feels
bad herself. / really mustn't cry, for l
will have to work and earn some money,
am sure the doctors bill will be very
| large.
But what will you do?" asked Bess
sadly
"Why, Mr.. Jones asked me to pile up
his wood and he said he would give me
50 cents"
| Sure enough, Mr.. Jones did give him
| so cents and several of the neighbors
gave him odd jobs.
The childrens father was getting worse
instead Of better.
One evening Danny came In looking
very happy.
WELL he said, Mr. Brown, the store
keeper, is going to give me 50 week
for working for him.
That's fine," said Bess.
Eyes, 1t is fine" said his mother. You
two help me very much 1 don't know
what l would do without YOU.
The childrens father died that night;
but, as their mother said, He will never
suffer any more"
One night, as they sat together in the
living room, Bess said. When will Santa
Claus be here, mother? You said he
would be here soon''
Two weeks from tonight, dear" said
her mother
"Will he bring us anything If we hang
up our stockings?'' said Danny.
Better hang them up and see," said
his mother. -.. ...--
And they did.
Danny found a new sled with these
words on the card, ITO a good boy who
helped mother Bess found a doll and
both had other things.

NY Visit to the Bernard Family

BY Vashu Haynes. Aged II years.
22tS Paul Street. Blue Side,
l will tell you story Of my visit to
the Bernard family,
The day was very pleasant one and
fit for such journey, and the white
clouds in the blue sky, to my very as
tonishment sailed lasily by. Such day
l could have spent In the meadow, but
It was better to continue my onward
journey. Much was my refreshment when
l reached the Bernard family.
1t has been known that in some families
unusual kindness Is shown when visitors
are present, Max was working and Sadie
was away. Little Alice suddenly ran out
of the house. Where had she gone?
In few minutes she reappeared BY u
rope she was pulling Susie, their calf
But the calf would not move and after
many unsuccessful attempts Alice put
her in the barn. Such was it through
my stay.
My dear friend or wise reader, think
II a better plan to show the same kind
ness when visitors are not present.

But walt very soon spring will be

come with sweeter song and each lit

bright as ever and the leaves, too, will
be here waving their little hands to US
