There is a young man of this town,
says the New York Times, who has
found that by appealing to the sense
of humor of a wealthy uncle he can
obtain funds that otherwise would be
secured only with great difficulty and
after much delay. Accordingly, on the
eve of uncle's last appearance in town
nephew wrote him in these terms; II

When Crown Was In Pawn.

In former centuries the crown used

money, and the royal jewels used
to be in pawn most of the time
At the time of the coronation of
George w the crown WAS in pawn, and
was hired out for the occasion at a
cost of $4,000. The king wanted to
buy 1t, but Lord Liverpool thought
At an unnecessary extravaganza. FL

BE KIND TO YOUR MOTHER.


Oh, Johnnie, be kind to your mother:
Remem Der how tender and true,
Through all the long years of your
childhood,
She ever has been unto you,
And now you are passing 10 manhood,
Your presence should shelter and aid
The friend who has guided your foot
steps.
oh, Johnnie, be true to your mother
Tho false to the rest of mankind
For if the whole world should forsake
you,
That mother would bear you inf
mind
That mother would cherish the way
ward,
Would pray for the wandering son,
Would cling to you firmly and tordly
No matter the wrong you have done.
Oh, Johnnie, be strong for your mother
Whenever temptations assail,
Resist, to your utmost endeavor--
a courage that never shall fail,
Her prayers are ascending to Heaven,
Like incense, 10y night and by day,
That you may be guarded from danger
And guided along the right way.
Oh, Johnnie, take care Of your mother;
Her steps have grown feeble ana
slow;
Your strong arms should shield and
support her,
AS on through LIES journey you 70
Then after that journey is ended
In the land Of the real ana the true,
Who're pearly gates stand ever open
Oae friend will be waiting for you

Historical controversies are creep
ing into the schools. In a New York
public institution attended by many
races, during an examination in history
the teacher asked little chap, who
discovered America
He was evidently thrown into panic
and hesitated, much to the teachers
surprise, to make any reply.
"Oh please, maam," he finally stam-
mered, TASK me somthin' else"
Something else, Jimmy? why sho-
uld do that?'
"The fellers was talkin' bout it

The writer of the novel is to blame.
After having spent an entire half
day carrying water for his mule to
drink, Yam Sims decided that there
was something radically wrong with
the mules thirst and called in the
horse doctor. He made an examination
of the mule from head to foot and
could find nothing in any way that
would lead him to believe that the
mule had anything the matter with it.
Then he directed his skilled attention
to the trough and found that it did not
have any bottom TO it. Tx.

MS TRIBUTE TO WOMEN.

No matter what one may think OF
the philosophy OF Robert q. lngersoll,
one must admit that he stands out
prominently as an American who was
master in the use OF the English Ian
guage. The following is his oft.quoted
tribute to Women:
at takes hundred men to make an
encam pment, but one woman can make
a home. | not only admire woman as
the most beautiful object ever created,
but | reverence her as the redeeming
glo~y of humanity, the sanctuary of all
the virtues, the pledge of all perfected
qualities of heart and head 1t is not
just nor right to lay the sins of men at
the feet Of women 1t is because wom-
en- are so much better than men that
their faults are considered greater. A
mans desire is the foundation of his
love, but wuman's desire is born Of
her love, The one thing in this world
that is constant, the one peak that
rises above all clouds, the one window
in which the light forever burns, the
one star that darkness cannot quench,
is woman's love. 1t rises to the great.
est heights, it sinks to the lowest
depths. 1t forgives the most cruel in
iuries. 1t is perennial of life and grows
in every climate. Neither GOODNESS
nor neglect, harshnesS nor cruelty can
extinguish it, A woman's love is the
perfumer of the heart. This is the
real love that subdues the earth the
love that has wrought all mirac les o
art; that gives us music all the way
from the cradle song to the grand clos
ing symphony that bears the cl-ud
away on wings Of h1e A love tn t is
greater than power, sweeter than Life
and stronger Than death.

If one would be successful host one

American League Lads

New Federal League Circuit Shows Less Mileage
Than Either of Its Com petitors-"Baby Major"
Is Last Three, Though in Population.

PITTSBURGH. Dec. i.-The Federal
League circuit, with New York includ-
ed and Kansas City dropped out. looms
up considerably stronger than the loop
as It stood last year. and places the
Feds In n position t. give their yearly
expense list n big cut.
Comparisons as shown In the above

circuit If either league. with the Ma
tional next and the American last.
with Kansas City ousted and New
York taken in. the mileage around the
loop Is redrced to 2.S5s mites. against
2.sos miles for the National. and 2,946
for the American League.
OF the three circuits. the National
comprises the largest population. all
the towns Visited totaling 1928, ,oO7
people, against II l,lSC.2S people played
to by the American League. and the
IL .l3i .l2n people by the Federal League.
Last year the Feds were handicapped
by a circuit that ccst almost for.

including Kansas City. This year.
however. the longest jumr that the
&C compelled to make is from st. Louis to
Pittsburgh. a distCrcc Of 6l3 miles. The
Tener league. however. Is handicapped
with the longest Jump Of either organ
Boston being I.oii miles. while the long
est trip made BY the American Ia from
st. Louis to Washington. a distance u
yO6 miles.
The Feds also have the shortest
lump Of either circuit. that being
from New York to Newark, a distance
OF ten miles. The shortest trip OF
the National and American leagues Is
from New York to philadelphia, dis
tancc Of ninety-one miles: This Is NOT
figuring the Jumps from New York to
Brooklyn, in the same city.
The mammoth cut in travelling Is
bound to be a great help to the play
ere in the Feds. as last year the big
hops that so greatly Handicapped that
circuit had a telling effect upon the
ball playing. The local team was
Subjected to the hardest trip OF the
entire league. that being FROM Kan
sas City to Brooklyn. n distance of
over 1000 miles. The financial end
fit greatly by this reduction OF travel.
The Feds are still handicapped by
the Sunday ball playing Chicago and

towns in which sunday ball will be

BY |. F.. SANBORN.

The compactn.ss of the American
League In It's pennant races has been
a matter OF comment for years. and
only in the campaign which ended last
month has the National League OK
Cceded the American In the closeness of
its contests since the two majors be-
came rivals.
That rivalry on anything like even
terms has covered the seasons of l9o3-
1915 inclusive. and In that period the
American League teams have almost in
variably been well matched so well
matched that no "ity and no group OF
cities has had Il monopoly on first di-
vision honors.
During that period OF thirteen years
only four teams have won pcnnants, II
Is true. and two teams have hogged the
big bunting in nine OF the thirteen sea-
sons included In this array OF figures.
But the races nave been so close that
no team has been able to finish in the
first division every year: neither has
any team of the eight been so unfortu-
nate as to finish In the second section
every season.
There are five teams which have fin
Gshed In every position in the race cx-
Cept one at different times during the
last thirteen years. The Athletics. who
ieaO tne league IN pchnants. nave land-
ed on every round of the ladder except
seventh place during the period under
discussion. In that time BOSTON, which
has won four remnants. has occupied
every position except sixth at the end
of a seasons campaign. Detroit. which
has three pennants to it, credit. has
finished everywhere except absolutely
last. Chicago. which has won only one
cha h1pionship in thirteen seasons. has
he"n everything except last. Cleveland
In that time has finished everywhere ex-
ceDt first in the race.
or the other three clubs which have
been represented continuously for thir-
teen years. New York has finished
everywhere except first and third:
Washington never has beer first. iifth.
or sixth: and St Louis never has been
one. two. three. but has been every
where else on the ladder at the end Of
race.
Consistency. or compactness. is shown
by the composite records OF the teams
covering a period OF thirteen years. In
that time no American League club has
wen 30 per cent Of Its games. and no
team has lost 40 per cent ct them IN the
aggregate.
