1t is not only a eowardly creed, but
it has a foundation of lies. There is
nothing in the, scriptures to indicate
that the God who sends souls into the
world has an assortment of souls and
differentiates between legitimate and
illegitimate children We have done
the differentiating ourselves.

marriage or its lack does not enter
into the question. With all my heart

POLO A GAME FOR THE RICH.
Last Years Matches Cost More Than

Last Years Matches Cost More Than
MiIIion-The Sport Described.
Only the wealthy can afford to play
polo. Last summer it was estimated
somewhere in the neighborhood Of ST.
100000 was expended In staging the
international matches, two games play
ed on the polo field at Meadow Brook.
n. Y. Employing long division to di-
vide this sum by $50, 1t is seen that
each minute of actual play cost $500.
In 1911, when America successfully
defended the polo challenge cup against
an English four, winning the two
games played. the competition cost not
less than 100000
What the total cost of this months
games will be it is impossible to esti-
mate with accuracy now.
Polo is played on a field 900 by 500
feet. At each end are two goal posts
twenty four feet apart, and along the
sides are white boundary boards ten
inches high \ goal is scored when a
player knocks the ball between the
goal posts of the opposing team. If he
knocks it between his own goal posts
| the play counts a quarter of a goa
/ against him.
| Eight periods of seven and one-half
minutes each are played. Three min
utes are allowed between periods tC
permit for changing ponies and sever
minutes between the fourth and fiftt
periods. Each team consists of foul

Ponies cannot exceed 14.2 hands il

Washington.-The officers and men
who participated in the Atlantic fleet's
recent landing operations against the
advanced base forces at Culebra, near
Porto Rico, are highly praised in a
report by Captain w. S. Sims, who
was detailed as fleet observer. Cap
tain Sims says:
IAN examination of the installations
made on shore and of the astonishing
amount of work required to create the
defences in the rocky soil with, incl
dentally, inefficient tools for such
work., makes it apparent that such re-
suits could have been accomplished
only by a harmonious combination of
thorough planning and admirable adj
ministration, actuated by the driving
force of an enthusiastic devotion to
duty extending throughout the entire
command
