HartzelI Sure of His Job.

Roy Rartzell, whose game at third
was a part of the sensational play for
the New York Highlanders last season,
may be sent to the right garden next
season if Al Dolan continues the good
impression he started last fall Hart
zell's regeneration when he Joined the
Yankees was the surprise of the Amer
lean league. Not only did he field bet
ter, but his stick work far surpassed
anything he had ever shown while a
member of the st. Louis Browns. He
Is credited with breaking up more
games for the Highlanders in 1911 than
any other one man ON the team.
Manager Woverton does not intend
to lose the everyday services of such
good batsman. Harry Wolter, the
California speedster. is a grand out
fielder. He covers more ground than
any other gardener with the Yanks and
on this account may be played in cen.

Australia Fond of Lawn Tennis.

A report of the Australasian tennis
championship held at Melbourne in con-
junction with the Victoria champion
ship tourney furnished surprising in
formation. This joint tournament was
finished the first week in December,
when the finals of sixteen different
events were contested.
In Newport last year at the United
States national championship tourna-
ment 202 entries required 200 matches.
aud in consequence the American au-
thorities are worried on account of its
unwieldiness and a movement Is now
on foot to limit the number Of com
petitors, but in 1910 the Australasian
championship required 357 matches,
and last season the number exceeded
400. This shows the tremendous hold
the game has on the sport loving peo-
pie of that country.

Teakettle Party.

A good game is teakettle party.
Two are sent from the room. and the
persons left must decide upon word
to call "teakettle." The word should
have different spellings and must have
different meanings, as fair. fare; hare.
hair; eve, you; do. due, dew, etc. The
two sent out may be called in and be-
gin by asking any person in the room
any question they wish. which must be
answered by using in the sentence the
word "teakettle" instead of the word
selected. The two must guess from
the meaning of the sentence what the
word is. Sometimes they cannot guess
and have to be told. Send any others
out you wish to next time.

Pickinq Up a Coin.

Lay nickel five cent piece on an un-

the edge and ask your friends if they
can take 1t up into their hands with

If they are not able to do 1t sit down

coin, but do not touch the table with
It Hold 1t just above the table. Now
blow suddenly and hard on the table
about two inches from the coin. and
the coin will jump and fly into your

this neatly. But you can do it every
time after that, and It makes a pretty
parlor trick.

Tonque Twisters.

Almost every boy and girl has heard
of the old tongue twister that begins
"Peter Piper picked peck of pepper
but here is one that you can defy any
one to repeat after you if you have
learned it well enough to say it pret-
ty quickly yourself:
"How much wood would a wood
chuck chuck If a woodchuck could
chuck wood? If a woodchuck could
chuck wood the wood that a wood
chuck would chuck IS the wood that
q woodchuck could chuck If the wood
chuck that could chuck wood would
chuck or a woodchuck could chuck

Here is a short one, but rather con
fusing to repeat after hearing it only
once: 81 know Emo; you know too. In
fact. we all three know. We know
Emo. He knows you. You know

A Watehword.

Organization is the watchword Of
the day. 1t is the part of system. 1t
means force and economy. A single
twig can be easily bent and broken.
A bundle tied together has strength
that defies the efforts of a giant. The
same in organization. One merchant,
one tradesman in any line, cannot
well bring about needed reforms 1t
requires united action, and this action
can only be had when there is perfect
and harmonious organization.

Can you pick up a handful of snow,
pack it into a good. solid, throwing
SNOWFALL and then light it with a
match. If you can perform this trick
you are pretty sure to mystify the on
lockers. and the secret of it is simple
enough, explains the Youths Compan-
ion. once you know it.
The SNOWFALL can be rolled in full
view of the spectators. 1t can also be
passed round so that everybody may
have a chance to see that 1t is real
snow. What they do not see is that on
one side lump of camphor has been
inserted. 1t is this that is lighted. 1t
will burn until nothing is left of the
ball but a shell. When there is no snow
the same trick may be performed by
thrusting the camphor into the top OF
a dish of cracked ice.

Andy and Sandy were brothers two;

Round the corner, as Andy ought.

Andy was named on a party slate
To be the mayoral candidate.
Sandy the standard OF another
Party bore against his brother.

MhX Stars IwinklA-

Who can tell why it is that the stars
sometimes seem to twink and win
kle." as one small boy says, more than
at others? And why do they twinkle
anyway The reason they twinkle is
that their light pierces through many
different heated and moving currents
OF air. which makes the light reach
our eyes in a crooked or twinkling line
instead of straight and steady one.
Wise men tell US that much twinkling
foretells bad weather. because 1t shows
that the currents Of air are much dis
turbed.

JUDICIOUS
ADVERTISING.
What Can Be Done to Win
Publicity In Small Towns.
BRINGS SHOPPERS AND TRADE

Value of Extensive and Attractive Ad-
vertising as Proved by Successful
Venture of Enterprising Storekecper.
Print Prices and Use Plenty Of Space.
Many merchants who pay for space
fail to receive desired results because
their advertising is so poorly arranged
as to attract little attention and not
impress those who read it. Sometimes
the printer fails to make the right kind
of showing, and, while the reading
matter of the advertisement may be
all right, the display is such as to be
unattractive.
1t is always well TO present prices
in your space. Pick out seasonable
goods and make run on a few spe-
cialties. 1t requires only a little
thought to fix up q few exceptional
bargains in certain lines of goods.
These should not be sold at loss, but
at a good profit if the matter be man.
aged rightly. The principal thing de-
sired is to get the people to call at the
store, and when they call be sure to
yertisement means all that it repre-
sented. If you advertise cheap canned
goods, cheap anything, and you know
the goods are cheap, not up to the
standard of such articles, tell the peO-
pie so and have something just little
better and tell them the difference.
There is little use in advertising to

The fact that one calls at your store
and asks to see certain kinds of goods
Is evidence that the person is III the

Not long ago in a western town of
some 1000 population the merchants
had an illustration of what can be done
by judicious advertising. The proprie

greatly surprised one morning to find
that the object Of their attention had
in the daily paper a four page adver-
tisement. They were further surprised
when the weeklies of the surrounding
towns came out with one and two page
advertisements Offering wonderful bar
gains and to pay the railroad fare of
those who would purchase a certain
amount of goods. For miles around
the town large posters announced the
great sale.
Other merchants of the town looked
upon the venture as foolish and pre-
dicted that there was something wrong
a failure or fire in sight. Neither
happened, but in two weeks time the
enterprisinG storekeeper who adver-
tised to sell twenty-six pounds of gran
ulated sugar for dollar when the job
bing price was more than So hundred,
provided the purchaser ordered other
goods, did a business amounting to

still doing the biggest business in the

FOR The CHILDREN
Magic Blocks.


There's magic in the letter blocks
When by simply changing places
The same ones make quite different words
AS II they'd many faces.
A mate is meat. and tame is team.
And bleat will change TO table.
And stage is gates, and slate is steal,
And cotton bales make sable.
An inch OF flesh will make a chin,
Fruit crates a cut glass caster.
All tears will dry into stare
And then become an aster.
Time Is made of one small mite;
The north's n thorn. so singing;
The east a seat. the west a stew,
The south n shout, outringing.
Adverb Is braved and calm Is clam:
A stream becomes a master;
The small word more makes ancient Rome.
A roast tho richest Astor.
But lest this hint of play grow thin
To little folks. so clever,
leave the harder words to find,
And here my verse makes sever.
