BEDTIME STORIES
FOR LITTLE
FOLKS
oRETA's GRoUcHY GOBLIN.

"Greta, Great called weak voice
from the bed And little Greta, who
was busy in the kitchen of the cot
tage. ran to her sick mother with a
drink of cold water.
Then she went back to clean up the
pots. build fresh fire and set the
mush on the stove for supper. On
tipy tray she set a wee teapot, a plate
of cakes and a bit of honey, all ready
for her mothers evening meal.
"a bunch of wild laurel would look
so pretty on the tray" she said to her
self. Il think ! will have plenty OF
time to run down in the woods and get
a bit before the mush is done
So she ran down to the grove, which
was at the foot of the hill Then she
stopped suddenly, for she remembered
that in these very woods and just
where the prettiest flowers were grow
ing, was the magic mound, where
folks said the COLLINS played.
well, I am not afraid of COLLINS,
said Greta. Besides, mother says
there are no such things. Anyway,
goblin or not, | am going to get the
laurel"
So she went on till she reached
laurel bush. on which hung beautiful
clusters of the pink blossoms. Just as
she put her hand up to break bough
she heard a squeaky voice at her feet
exclaim: ouch, get off my toe and
looking down she saw in the grass
little man about foot high.
He was a very funny looking little
man, for he had on nothing but his
underclothing and was shivering with
cold. Greta could not help laughing
at the sight 81 don't see anything
funny in almost freezing to death" eX-
claimed the goblin, hopping about in
his anger.
Then why don't you put on your
clotnes?" asked the girl. Il can't,
can't" he screamed, my wife has run
away and taken them all with her
she says am so cross she won't live
with me any longer"
Now, Greta did not blame the COB
Inns wife for leaving such a grouchy
man, but she was a very kind-hearted
child, so she took off her jacket and
wrapped it about the little man till
he was warm again. But he never
even said Thank you, ma'am." He
just began scolding again. 81 am just
starving, he cried, breaking into tears. |
my wife locked the cupboard and
took the key. Come into my room and
see." And he took the girls hand
and led her into a beautiful room, hid |
den in the mound. It's sides were OF
pink coral and the furnishings in en-
erald green velvet with silver trim
mings. Then Greta saw this was the |
King of the COLLINS himself.
Every soul has run away and left
me-" he moaned: mot servant left, !
and don't know how to cook bite
wait a minute" exclaimed kind
Greta. 81 will run home and bring you |
some mush. well, hurry up" replied
the goblin You big people are so !
Slow" and he kicked his crown across
the floor. Greta ran home, and re-
turned in a few minutes with the
steaming pot of mush, which she held
by a short chain, as it was so hot
Don't put it on that table by the
glass bottle" said the goblin. THAT !

The woman who talks in this way
would never dream of saying unkind
things about people she actually
knows-she would call that scandal"
But she maintains that if one isn't per-

criticise or what you say. at doesn't
make a scrap of difference to Them"
she declares airly. what the ear
doesn't hear, the mind doesn't greve
over, as the old saying goes. Besides,
when you repeat little bits of gossip
about celebrities, you may rest assur-
ed that it will never reach their ears
and even if it did, their position is so
assured that no amount of adverse
criticism could affect them"
This attitude is not quite under.
standable to the ordinary mortal, but
it is surprising how many women do
hold such view point

quite probably innocent person but at
the same time she is destroying il.

Yes, it is perfectly true, the average
woman enjoys gossip. So does the av-
erage man, for the matter of that.
There isn't any reason why they
shouldn't. But between harmless gos-
sip, which diverts the mind and enter
tains ones friends, and the real out
and-out scandal, that ruins reputa-
lions and kills characters at one fell
swoop, there lies a wide gulf
Unfortunately there are too many
scandaLmoungers around nowadays.
They don't intend to work mischief,
they would resent any such imputa-
tion most strongly, but none the less
do they succeed in achieving real
harm.
Only the other evening woman
of my acquaintance gave striking eX-
ample of how mischief can b worked
without any spiteful intent behind the
remarks made. 1t was at small con.
cert given for the benefit of well.
known charity, and a popular singer
had volunteered her services for the
evening.
When the singer came on the plat
form there was a thunder of applause
from the audience, and she bowed and
smiled in the most fascinating way.
How sweet and attractive she is"
remarked a man in the group. "She
certainly has wonderful yioce-and
such pleasant manner"
"Not a scrap conceited either"
added a girl land she looks as if she
were thoroughly nice in every way,
But she isn't bit, my dear" came
the voice of a young woman who has
the unfortunate failing above-mention-
ed. "She may look nice-but on very
good authority, hear that she drinks.
Isn't that awful?"

and actresses, don't they. And, Of /

Yale BackfieId Rests.

M New Haven, Nov. 2.-Because most # the Yale backfeld players are suf- Firing from overwork, the coaches <bve begun a policy of trying out $rcmising reserve candidates, giving
 Ne ball to each in turn during the af- *rnoon, scrimmaging and comparing #he showing of the various candidates &ith a view of selecting the backfield : Dr Saturdays game against Colgate. is now certain that the condition H Bingham and Jacques will not allow them to play until next week. Yesterday afternoon Fife Waite, Rubstitute halfback for two seasons, Ind Frank Lynch, the former Exeter Ind Yale freshman end, were used at saIfback. Waite began by registering thirty-yard line plunge for the var 1ity against the third eleven, followed with two seven-yard gains. Lynch [cored on a twenty yard end run for he second team, making the first touchdown for his side. Because of he heat yesterdays practice was cur Jailed to fifteen minutes.
 The varsity scored two touch howns against the third eleven, Le Bore p1unging through tackle for hfteen- yards for the first and Brader Ernashing through center for five Eards for the second. Both Waite and Lynch are scheduled for trials as |varsity ha1fbacks during next Satur- Rays game Tn place of Right Guard Galt. who has also shown symptoms

Colgate Awaits Yale

Hamilton, N Y, Nov 2.-Larry Bankart's big squad of Colgate foot ballers is so far without defeat Susquehanna, Maine, Illinois, Rhode Island and Springfield Y M. c. A. Training school have all fallen before the terrific Maroon onslaught. The rest of the schedule, however, pre- sents an entirely different outlook, Yale, whose big blue eleven, Colgate meets this coming Saturday, looms up as one of the seasons most promising teams Then after what should be an easy game with Rochester, the Maroon opposes the Syracuse team which lost so narrowly last Saturday to Michigan. The Orange line is practically the same as that which de- feated Colgate last year. Brown is a question whose solution cannot be fcretold until next Thanksgiving morning.
 Nelson and Castellanes at the ends are not the ends that Colgate used to produce. West is the only good tackle on the field. Mckay, a big freshman, has been hampered in his fight for the position by an ankle which he weak ened early in the fall. Barton and Good at guard are strong clever players who know football from be- ginning to end. The center, Bart Car roll, has a pass that can't be beaten but he is no power either offensively or defensively.
 The backfeld has several veterans and few men who are playing excel lent ball. Anderson is fast at quarter
 and plays his men we'll but canno
 stand the strain of big games. Gillc
 is undoubtedly a tower of strength a fullback. Spencer, the young Bay State half whose battering ram pla, has already won him a reputation, ant his running mate, Chuck Eubbell, arr sure ground gathers and will be heard , from in the Maroons remaining con tests this fall Eek and Scott, new candidates for the position are low swift drivers and sure hole pickers.

St. Paul, Nov2.-After much dick ering Mike Gibbons, the middleweight boxer, has been matched to fight" ten rounds with Jack Dillon, the giant Killer in this city, on Nov. 24. There will be no decision, and the weight conditions call for 163 pounds at 3 o'clock. Dillon will receive a fiat guarantee of $7,5OO and Gibbons will take percentage of what is left.
 Gibbons at first held out for 161 F
 pounds, but as Dillon insisted on 165 the weight question was compromised. It is believed that Dillon, a light heavyweight, will be at a disadvantage after he leaves the scales. It will be necessary to weaken himself in order to make 163 at the appointed time, al- though he will have about six hours to recuperate before entering the ring.
 Dillon should weigh at least 167 pounds when the gong rings for the first round, but whether he can re- gan his hitting power and stamina remains to be seen. Gibbons, who is at his best when carrying 54 pounds, believes that he possesses the skill to win on points. Photo on left shows hghtlng face of Jack.

BAN BREAKS OUT
 WITH ANOTHER YELP
Says American League Owners
 Are Dissatisfied With Commission

Chicago, Nov. 2.-President B. B. Johnson of the American League, in A statement last night, admitted that there probably will be change in the complexion of the National Base ball Commission"
 The statement was issued after two afternoon newspapers had quoted Mr. Johnson, chairman of the commlsslon' would be deposed. Immediate denlal of the statement was made. President Johnson, however, said that certain club owners of the American League are opposed to ''too much Natlonal League in the composition of the Ma tional Commission"
 MT. Herman is president of the Cincinnati club of the National League, and has been chairman of the national commission since the forma- ton of the body under the agree ment of the National and American Leagues. He was in conference with President Johnson here last week re- garding questions involving the com mission.
 The commission is made up of Johnson, Hermann and John k. Tener, president of the National League.
 There is a strong under-current' running for a change in the com- plexion of the commission" President Johnson said. Certain club owners of the American League seem to feel 1 that there is too much National League in it's complexion. Person. 1 ally I have much to commend and i little to criticise in the work of MT. | Hermann in the long period of years l that he has been chairman of that l body. Probably there will be l change, but that is a matter that only can be determined in future discus !! sions between the two organizations"
 The chairman of the national com mission is elected annually by the votes of the two major league presi- ] dents, which means that both Johnson l and Tener must agree upon the third member since a difference of opinion 1 would result in a deadlock. As both l league presidents are automatically mem bers of the commission as at present constituted, the only way in which the complexion of the body could be changed would be the cleo tion of a third member not affiliated with either league in place of the
 ( | present chairman.
 Several plans have been suggested 1 for changing the national commits sion. One called for @ tribunal of 1 three prominent men in no way con- nected with baseball. Another would retain the present major league l presidents, and a third neutral mem Der, while a third scheme called for | five members-two to represent the | big leagues, two more the minor | leagues and the Players Fraternity, respectively while the fifth member would be independent of baseball con- nections.

Tigers Hard at Work.

s Princeton, N J., Nov. 2.-Using Harvard formations the Tiger scrubs had an easy time with the Princeton first team yesterday afternoon and were able to gain consistently against the varsity defense. No points were ta1lied while the first string men re- noined in the lineup but after several substitutes had gone in the 'varsity's S goal line was crossed.
 All the men who started the game with Dartmouth were able to take part in the scrimage except Eddy, who was out on the field, but not al lowed to enter the scrimmage. It is
