PLAY SOCCER BY
CONSENT OF
PARENTS

Registration blanks have been
issued to the principals of all the
city schools, to be used by can
didates for the school soccer
teams. A boy must obtain his
parents consent before he can
belong to one of these teams.
The blan1s are being used be-
cause more boys are playing Soc
Ger in Tacoma than have ever
taken up any other game, with
the possible exception of base
ball.
Two or three of the schools are
still playing regular football, but
as these games are always sched-
uled after school hours 1t is TAX
en- for granted that the parents
have given their consent If a boy

THE story Of the Lincoln pew Is worthy
Of record. When this church was re-
pewed in 1887 the retention of the pew
used by President Lincoln was mildly
urged, but its dark color brought a quick
decision. It would be homogeneous and
offensive in contrast with the new. oak
pews. A patriotic insistence from q
feminine source installed it in one of the
Sabbath school rooms, where 1t remained
for years. A resolution at the annual
meeting Of the church in 1893 transferring
the pew to the church room was adopted,
but only after considerable delay was
1t finally transferred, and indicated as
the pastors pew.
I'm 1862 the church, then new, only
escaped being seized for use as hos
pital. by the personal Intervention of
President Lincoln. The congregation, upon
assembling for the weekly prayer meet
ing, found lumber stored against the New

recognized the Significance OF this. Mrs.

OLD LONDON TAWERNS.

THERE has always been certain
glamour of romance surrounding
ancient hostels in whatever coun-
try they might be, but the old
London taverns naturally take the
first place with all English-speaking
nations, for. the good reason that some
of them have been the resorts of many
of the most famous wits. poets and phi
losophers Of former days. The taverns
were also the rendezvous for all. sorts
and conditions Of men on business and
pleasure intent, and surely nowhere could
certain national manners and customs
have been seen to greater advantage.
There was at one time in Fleet street
an old hosiery known as THE Devil. :"
1t stood close to Temple Bar. on the
south side of the street, the spot occu-
MED later by chiids Bank. 1t was pat
ronized to a great extent by lawyers
and wits, and when these gentlemen
sailed from their chambers to "quaH
the foaming bowl 1t was their naDit
to place outside their doors placard
bearing the intimation that they had
Gone to the Devil!" The sign OF the
Devil Tavern bore an effigy Of St Duns-
tan seizing by the nose the fallen angel
when he came to tempt him as ne was
at work In the goldsmiths forge, ana
this legend was also depicted on the Inn
tokens, which were issued early In the
reign Of Charles II. Ben Jonson brought
the inn undying fame, and Aubrey says
that ben johnson, to be near the Devil
Tavern, lived without Temple Bar at q
combmaker's shop" 1t was here that
Jonson founded his Apollo Club.
A very celebrated tavern was the
Mermaid, which stood in Cheapside, be-
hind the houses between Bread street
and Friday street. Close by was the
Miter, an hostelry renowned for Its
good cheer; and nearly opposite was
the Mays Head. the inn where. 1t was
at one time averred, Parker. the first
Protestant archbishop. was consecrated.
TO the Mermaid there resorted the
members OF q club founded in 1908 by
