Mistaken Identity.

The A English class of a Louisville
school, says a writer in the Courier
Journal formed a basket ball team. 1t
was wholly composed of girls and prac
tice work began with vigor. 1t was the
intention of the team after it became
proficient to challenge the players Of
several other classes. No member of
the A English class was over twelve
years of old, and Marion, who was be-
ing tried out for a position on the
team was only ten. She was quick

In the Metropolitan:
"You not so fortunate as you SEEM You
have great deal of sense, but more sense than
knowledge You can give admirable advice to
other people. Your Judgment is excellent as re-
CARDS others. but bad as regards yourself You
never value your good advice You are
fond of your friends. You prefer talk to action.
You suffer from indecision. You are fond Of the
stage You are susceptible to female beauty.
You are witty, amiable and we'll educated, but
you like coarse jokes You supersttious and
believe in ghosts. You make people laugh.
You often pretend to be more foolish than you
are. At other times you will surprise people by
your power of apt repartee Your bane will be
your inclination to fat which will hamper you in
fighting You unsuccessful soldier. but
unrivaled as companion and philosopher. You
will mix in high society, have friends at court.
You will come off badly in personal encounter,
and your final enemy will be king"
Now imagine him saying exactly the same
thing to Fastaf. Doesn't 1t fit him just we'll?
Can't you imagine Falstafr saying: He has hit
