And We, we older ones, We smilo
Al the glad nonsense of their play
That fills their minds and serves to while
The long. long moments of the day.
Half-pityin9iy We look on
At mimic state and mimic strife
We whose illusions all are gone.
We who do greater things In lifo
Than these gay deeds that they achieve
There In their land of make-believe.
The Keota news., 1913-06-06

And yet sometimes the fancy comes
That we arc children one and all.
With tinsel crowns and rolling drums
And baubled fame and trumpet call;
That somewhere someone sits and smiles
At the poor trappinRs of our state
And sees the feeble childish wiles
With which we seek to conquer fate.
We old folks. too. as children, weave
Dreams In our land of make-believe.

London, Dec. 2S.-A1l the football clubs in the three principal leagues took advantage of the Christmas hol- idays, and on each of the three days a full programme of games were set for decision Some interesting changes are noticeable on the tables, quite the most important being the prominent position held by Woolwich Arsenal, which now ties with Hull City for first place in the second division.

ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL
 BECOMING POPULAR
Big Advances During Past Year-Or-
 qanization of U. s, A. F. A.

Association football. or soccer is fourishing in this country as never before. The game is forging ahead by leaps and bounds, and deservedly so. for it is difficult to suggest q pastime for outdoors with such possibilities for, speed, combined with scientific head and foot work as are inherent in this style of football
 Naturally, for the present players who hail from the British Isles or from the-volonies predominate in this coun- try, but practically all the other na- tions of the globe. including China, are represented on the soccer field
 Americans, though welded to their own college game, are fast coming into line, and, given the suitable weather, are prone to appreciate the good points of the game as a midwinter sport The are laying the foundations of future advancement, while in the colleges the game is more than holding it's own.
 The one great factor for progress on this side of the water has been the formation in the course of the last year of the United States of America Football association. While not com : plete by any means, 1t is a starting point from which to branch out with view to eventually placing soccer in every nook and cranny of the United States under central control. Already ii is q power in New Y oTk, New Jersey, Pennsylvania. New Eng land. Maryland. Michigan. Illinois, Mis- souri and Utah, with California much interested and not so far removed from admission as to be regarded at ieii hopeiess,

POETRY
HEARTS ACCOMMODATED.

For hearts, dear love, such seedlings
 are,
 That need so little, ohl so less Than little on this earth to bear The sun-sweet blossom, happiness, And siDg-those dying hearts that
 come TO go-their swansong flying home, A touch, a tender word ITO more, A race that fingers by the door To turn and smile, a fond word said A kiss-those things make heaven; and
 yet
 We do neglect, refuse forget To give that little ere 'tis fled,
 Ah mel ah me! And sad hearts go uncontrolled. ask of thee but HttIe-nay, Not for the golden fruit thy bough Ripens for thee and thine who day By day beneath thy shadow grow; Only for what from that full store Had made me rich, nor left thee poor, A drift of blossom needed not For fruit, yet blessing some dim spot A touch, a tender word soon said, Fond tones that seem our dead again Come back after long years of pain; Sorely for these my sick heart bled-
 All mel ah mel Sad hearts that go uncomforted.
