to the western intercollegiate confer
ence on the question of amateurism,
which recommendation are now be
ing considered by the conference
board, While the senate did not
countenance playing in organized ball

that occasional playing on organized
teams for money is not wrong.
The University of Illinois recon-
mends the amendment of rule 5 so
that it shall read as follows:

any intercollegiate athletic contest

"lA)--If he is or has been a mem
Der of any team playing under the ma
tional agreement of professional base
ball clubs or has engaged in contests
with teams playing under this agree
ment
obi he is or has been q mem
Der OF any so-called outlaw team
"(C)-Tf he has played on any team
regularly for salary. so that playing
has been his vocation or principal
calling for the period OF his associa-
ton with said team.
"(D)-If he has ever drawn salary
for nominal service in some alleged
employment while his athletic work
has been really his main service.
"(E)-If he is or has at any time
during his college course been a
member of any athletic team of any

Off he is receiving or has at
any time received compensation as
coach, trainer or instructor in physi-
cal training.
Golf in term time he engages
in athletic contests as representa-.
tive of any athletic organization not

The University of Illinois also pro.
poses that in place of an eligibility
committee In each university which
passes on eligibility of students in
that university, there be created a
single committee from the various
universities to rule finally upon ques,
tions of eligibility, and in doing so
to enforce the true spirit of amateur
ism without regard to trivial infrac,
tions.

Blessed Thouaht.

1t is a blessed thought that from our
childhood God has been laying his
fatherly hands on us, and always in
benediction. When this feeling is
awakened. the heart beats with a
pulse of thankfulness. Every gift has
its return OF praise, and all
our whole life is thereby drawn under
the light of his countenance and is
filled with a gladness, serenity, and
peace which only thankful hearts can
know.-Rey. H. e. Manning.

Moral qualities must be rooted in
religious experiences. What is the
genesis of this quality in the soul? Let
us admit that it may be found with
out religion. Accident of birth, a
happy geniality of temper, immunity
from the more pressing idlls of life,
may aid in its production. Are there
not those so fortunately balanced In
mind and body that the storms of the
soul seem to them unknown? Are there
not others whose days seemed passed
in quiet harborage, immune from the
troubles which others are compelled to
meet? Yet, these people can be
found. But we must not go to them
for guidance. We might as well ask
Crusoe for information about the

WIN BY KINDNESS
Is the inspiration That chal-
lenges the Affection of All to
Whom It Is Shown.

Tv HE grace of kindness, how indis.
pensable 1t is to the completion
III OF any human character When
Constable asked Turner to look
at one Of his pictures and tell him
what was wrong with IL. the great
landscape artist peered at 1t for a
time, then ran a ripping line of brush
work right across the canvas and
made it live. Such a master touch
on the character of man is this add
ed grace of kindness.
The inspiration of a kind heart. De-
priyed of this virtue. the strength of
the giant becomes an engine of wild
brutality. The more vigorous and
forceful the man is, the more damage
he is likely to do In his ruth
less course through life unless re-
deemed by the inspiration of kind
heart. And under the influence of
Kindness the most harsh of men will
reveal traits of humanity with which
he would ever have been credited. BY
Marie Antoinette in her miserable pri-
son there stood every day one of the
soldiers of the revolution. He had
watched the sad face of the discovered
queen, and her miseries touched his
soul to pity. During the hot days of
that summer he went to buy for the
helpless woman a melon from one OF
the fruitsellers OF the streets. When
he told the rude virago from whom he
purchased il that 1t was for the queen,
she picked the best from her stall
and handed it to him, saying: "Ah,
well, one woman may at least do this
for another. shall take no payment
for IT.
To Those In Authority.
That authority which Is bereft o.
kindness may be effective in maintain
ing discipline, but will never get the
best service from subordinates. It is
not the fear of the knout which will
make the bravest soldier. Men may
be dragooned into silence, but for
the devotion which counts death d
tritie, for the valor which hesitates at
no peril, there must be the belief that
the commander cares for them and
bdo thtiF WtlIdIG DtlOTS HIS Uiluu.
Whoever would manage men must
found his claim to control them on
their belief that he is affected by their
anxieties and takes delight in their
~ell-being.
To goodness this quality is indis-
pensable, but which fails to create az
lection. 1t is rigid as a marble pillar
and cold as the polar seas. 1t never
deviates from the plain path, knows
nothing of the vagaries of weaker
men, and cannot understand the ap.
peal Of penitence for compassion. Such
goodness repels rather than attracts.
| II may move us to sullen awe
but will never weaken our hearts to
live. Kindness alone can create that
flame
hear 1t said that we are becoming
| dangerously sentimental This insis!
tence on the milder virtues is said to
be imperiling the virile qualities Of the
race. | see no signs of degeneration
in that direction. Nature is too
strongly allied to the brute beast to
permit us to grow at once into gen
tie saints. All the barriers that we
can erect are needed to keep out the
tide Of fierce passion. 1t is not less
but more OF this generous spirit that
we require.

American managers and actors in
signed statement thus.
"Of course many English companies
could come to Canada if it were done
on the plan adopted by many American
managers-that Is, have one good actor
and the rest Of the company picked up
anywhere. But that is not my way of
doing it, nor is it the way of English
managers generally My own company
here with me could go into any theater
in the west end of London just as we
are, without any changes being made
in the cast. You can not make a rep
ertoire. II has to grow. So my feeling
in the matter is that il Canada goes
slowly in things theatrical, better and
higher grade of actors will develop in
the dominion than is the case to-day
in the United States"
