A StOry!---A MOraI!---An Advertisement!
A MAN THERE WAS!

This is Just a simple little story (abso-
'lutely true Of every day life illustrating
the old saying that, with the possible ex-
eeption OF ice, things are not always what
they are cracked up TO be. THIS MAN,
being the head of a family, at the earn
est solicitation OF his good wife, consent
ed To buy a new bed, so on Sunday at
ternoon they took the big mail order
eatalog from its usual resting place on
the family Bible and as though good
fortune directed the action the book
opened at page whereon was shown
magnificent bed, spring and mattress.
Allowing for all inaccuracies OF the eye,
one would have declared the "Bessemer
Steel" posts of this bed to have been
at least as large the family dining table
legs, in fact, the word MASSIVE stood
out in bold black type in the fairy de-
scription and further on in type so small
one could hardly read il did truthfully
say the posts were seyen-eights OF an in.
in diameter. Think of it almost as big
a mans thumb. Massive ineed This
massive bed with an equally wonderful
bed spring which they were told would
sell in "home stores" for $500 to So 80
and a gloriously good mattress worth
about the same. They were willing 10
part with it upon receipt of only Sl205.
Well, they fell for it, paid for money
order, sent it along, waited two weeks,
received the goods, damaged to some ex-
tent, but not but what soc worth OF
enamel and a couple Of hours work would
fix it up as good as could be expected.
But the failure Of the goods TO square"
with the pretty pictures in the book be-
gan to dawn on this good couple and they
checked up the measurements, weights,
etI., and found they were all right
well, what was wrong? Simply that the
picture lied to them and as that was
their first and strongest impression they
did not carefully sift out OF the descrip-
ton the actual points of values and con-
sequently were duped. They have since
purchased another bed, right here at
home, one they could see, better bed
for less money, a spring and mattress
with all the flowery description left out
and real quality and comfort put in, de-
livered to their home in perfect condi-
ton bef re a penny was paid out.
MORAL:-Don't buy a picture, real de-
scriptions carefully-then just come
down and get 100 cents worth of quail
ity for every dollar, with our SER
VICE thrown in for good measure.

Eleven Games for World Title
Thought Too Many.
HERMANN REMAINS QUIET
Plan to Reduce Price of Admission
Also Would Be Opposed, It
Is Believed.

CINCINNATI. December Chair
nan Hermann says that he has heard
nothing officially of the alleged plan
Of the American Lea que to advocate an
extension of the world series from
seven to eleven games. He said that.
J OF having been officially informed as
to any such action on the part OF the
junior league. he did not care to ex-
press an opinion on the matter too
hastily. 1t is known, however. that
several National League men are vfgor-
tusly opposed to the lengthening of the
Jig series, and will prevent any ac-
lion of that kind. even II 1T is strongly
Urged by the American League
Ever since the national commission
Jas been In charge of the series, which
Is for the past ten years, 1t has con-
sisted of the best four out of seven
James. This makes ii possible for the
series to extend anywhere from four
- seven games. In fact, IN one case,
went to eight contests. on account of
tie game which had to be played Off.
IN ten years only once has the series
ieen decided in four straight games
.ld that was this fall, when the Bos-
Jnu Braves achieved their notable vic
tory over the Athletics in consecutive
contests. The nearest approach to this
fecord was made by the Cubs in 1907,
Y, hen they won four straight from the
1.etroit Tigers after tying the open
3ng game.
In 1905. 1908. 1910 and 1918 five games

In little town in one of the New
England states there stands in the
public thoroughfare a drinking foun-
tain that is so deep and cool that
after having once drunk its refresh
ing waters ono never forgot them.
The fountain was built some years
ago in memory of an only daughter,
and on the arch are carved the words:
God called her."
Farther down the main road, about
a mile from the village. an old-fash-
toned white house will be found
snuggled cozily among great hedges
Of roses. In fact, every description
Of flower that can be coaxed to hold
up its head in the New England cli-
mate will be found in this garden,
and at one side of the house they
are so arranged that from earliest
spring they spell the words. God
called her." and the pansies nod their
wee heads confidently over the SEN
tence. In a corner of the big low
an easel near the fireplace q full
summers, with her arms full Of BIOS

picture you can see something of the
wonder the dear eyes beheld so soon
after the painting had been finished.
and here. too. you read. God called
her." But 1t suggests a question. If
you walk out of the house into the
yard toward where the tiny stream
winds its way through the garden
you will come to white headstone
and again you see the words carved.
and you feel instinctively the pleading
in them, as though the hearts that
breathed them were praying with
fearless eyes and trying to under
stand.
Elizabeth Manning had been an
only child who had come one spring

a possibility. She had come with the

NO one really knew just how It hap
pened, but the child found herself held
behind the desk and the gardener be-
gan to draw pictures on the window
pane. while Mr.. Manning caressed the
small head awkwardly and tried to dis
entangle the curls that would cling per-
sistently to his fingers
The officer of the court was glad
when Mr.. Manning asked that the case
be dropped and that the prisoner at
the bar be awarded to his and his wife's
custody. He filed out the papers with
satisfaction and beamed down on the
child, who didn't understand a thing
about 1t. except that everything was
all right"
Mr.. and Mrs. Manning led Elizabeth
bowed head. All the way to the village
the horse had heard denunciations and
threats, but now as the reins were
gathered up he felt that things were
different; so he shook himself vigor-
ously. to the great delight of the new
passenger, and trotted proudly through
the streets toward the Murphys.
They found Mrs. Murphy over a wash
tub, wringfng her hands both positive
ly and f1guratively. She had sent her
small Danny in search of the missing
Elizabeth. and he had just returned
with the information that "she was no
place to be found

envious crowd, zen amt goin' to

ply lamented.
1t took only few minutes to explain
what had happened. to strap the box
on the back of the carriage, to wave

pleasantly to the little girl next door
and to the man who had once given her
stick of peppermint candy. Mr.. Man.
ming let Elizabeth hold the reins as
they drove home. and old Charlie. real
ling the change, was very careful
Occasionally. as the happy talk and
laughter of his passengers drifted out
to him. he would shake his head know
ingly. and when. they had nearly reach
ed his own gate he called to his mates
IN the pasture and told them the good
news, and they trotted along with
him, inside the fence, to ask him about
it.
Mr.. and Mrs Manning shook hands
heartily with the minister, whom they
met in front of the big house. The old
gentleman promised that they would
bring Elizabeth to church Sunday. In
the living room the little girl among
the roses smiled at them, as though
she were glad, and the pansies under
the window nodded approvingly. Up
had been closed for SO long, Elizabeth
put her arms about Mrs. Mannings
neck. who was unfolding the dainty
dresses of the "other Elizabeth" and
said, with a wonderfully happy baby
sigh, God called her and now we both

Some one had been disturbing the

times. and one day Mr.. Manning went
to the gardener and ordered him to
watch for and catch the thief"
''Tll have him punished to the full
est extent of the law" he stormed
angrily, and the steely CLEAN in the
dark eyes made the man very careful

he admitted afterward, he thought
''the old man had gone clear daft"
The next day Mr.. and Mrs. Manning
received hasty summons to the
county courthouse. The thief had
been found.
The tear-stained blue eyes that met
those of the old couple had borrowed
some of the blue from the vioIets, and
the dimples that played around the
pansies.
The man behind the desk looked
Questioningly at the little one. 1t was
an unusual case, and judging her by
the standards Of his own two boys
