childhke innocence about her that

power in displaying emotion, TO be
one so young. The other members of

Blount, were very acceptable. George

pretty love story, which, by way OF
contrast. makes the drama one of

War Drums Ordered Out.

1t was some time ago that, acting
in Export by military commission,
thu french government reached the
conclusion that the drum was no long
err a necessary article of military
equipment. The report set forth that
the drum was a serious encumbrance
in marching; that rain impaired it's
usefulness; that its calls could not be
distinguished in time of battle; that it
consumed period of two years to
turn out an efficient drummer; and
that by abandoning the use of the
drum many thousands OF youths and
men would be released for active
service.
Since the decision OF the French
government other European powers
have followed its example in decree
ing that the drum must 60"
The history OF the dram is both an
ctent and honorable. The Egyptians
employed 1t, and the Greeks ascribed
its invention to Bacchus. The Spanish
conQueror Pizarro is said to have found
drums In South American temples.

FOR STRENGTH AND GRACE
Proper Training of Boys Muscles Is
Something Worth Highest De-
gree of Consideration.

In the American Magazine Dr.
Charles K Taylor Of Philadelphia
writes an Interesting and practically
helpful article entitled Your Boy ana
His Muscles" in which he gives sug-
gestions as to proper exercises for
young boys Following is an extract
from his article.
First of ali, when a child is in q
poor condition Of which the basic
cause is some remediabie physical de
feet there is little use in giving spe-
cial exercises until the defect is re-
moved For instance, breathing ex-
ercises cannot be nearly as effective
as they should be for a child suffering
from large adenoids, nor can you ex-
pect good results when child has
some physical irritation inducing nerv-
Gus effects OF different kinds. Above
all, you should always know the state
of the childs heart If the heart is
good, and il there are no serious rene
dlable defects to interfere with your
obtaining good results, then you can
take up the matter of special exer-
cises with some degree of confidence
when you find just where your boy
Is lacking, whether in chest expan-
sion. shoulder girth. arms, and so on,
or perhaps in posture, if he is hollow
chested with shoulders bent forward,
then you can take up the exercise sug-
gested for the different needs. And
right here is word of caution, which
will be repeated now and then. Never
carry an exercise beyond the time
when fatigue begins. Do not continue
it to exhaustion; but when the boy
begins to feel tired stop at once, IL
it is only after two or three motions!
1T interests the boy a great deal,
too to keep account OF his physical
measurements. IL these are taken
once month his interest is kept up,
and he is stimulated when he finds
that he is actually gaining. Finally,
do not carry on special exercise
after it is no longer necessary. What
you desire is a good, all-around devel-
Opment, and when this is attained spe-
cial work should cease and general ex-
ercise be carefully continued 1t
should be said, too, that such work
can never be considered as substi-
tute for outdoor play. This latter is
vitality necessary for all children
These exercises are to be used as ad-
juncts-to bring up to standard any
set of muscles which are under-devel-
oped"

NOTES.

Manager Hof1ande has scheduled
a game with Milaca, and it will be
staged at the armory tomorrow after
noon. This contest will be a hum
mer, as both sides will be out to
win.
One of the Minneapolis players had
the misfortune to twist his ankle
so severely that it was impossible for
him to continue play. Another one
of the visitors received a scratch on
the cheek, while Billy Doane had
one of his eyes most beautifully dis
colored. The contest was a clean
one, however, and all the injuries
were unavoidable.
For the important position of CEN
ter the Mill City team had an elong-
ated individual whose head was at
least "steen'' feet from the floor.
If it had not been for the fact that
he was continually stumbling over
Doane he might have worked havoc
to the local defense with his un-
limited reach.
Princeton has some truly proficient
basket throwers, and their work
last Saturday evening in this respect
was more than spectacular at times.
Some of the fastest teams in the
state are heing scheduled by Manager
Hoff1ander to oppose the local huskieS
and some thrilling contests can be
expected in the future. The Milaca
game tomorrow, however, will IN
doubtedly be as interesting as any.

vailed on Christmas day, all three
services at St. Edwards were at
tended by very large crowds, many
Of whom came g distance of even six

sweet religious memories. Father

the morning, while Rev. Fr.S zBialka,
student of st. Johns university,
occupied the pulpit at the 1880 a.
m. and 7:30 p. m. services. The
choir was at it's best, and the success
that crowned their efforts showed
that the most difficult music can be
rendered we'll, if neither labor nor
sacrifice is spared. The members Of
the choir are the following: Mrs.
G. A. Galley, directress, and Lorine
Jesmer, organist; Mrs. Blocker,

PULPIT DRAMAS,
PASTOR AS ACTOR
Preacher to Have Real Stage Setting in
Effort to Swell Church
Attendance.

Boston, Jan. 5.--One OF the greatest
Innovations in sermons ever tried in a
pulpit is to be started by the Rev. Aus
ten I. Kempton OF the Broadway Bap-
fist church, Cambridge series of
drama sermons in which the pastor, in
stead Of giving an exhortation, will pro-
duce a drama with stage settings, tax
ing all the parts himself.
With the setting of physicians Of
flee instead of the usual fittings of his
pulpit, the Rev. Kempton last night
preached his drama, "A Fight for Life"
To the training in college theatricals
he has added the proficiency in char
acter portrayal secured from a skilled
in preparation for his new
kind of sermon. Aided by his wife, the
pastor has worked up number of plots
the morals of which are obvious.
Cambridge churches have been suffer-
ing from slight attendance at Sunday
night services, and it is recognized that
something must be done to remedy con-
ditions.
