ORIGINS OF GAMES.
Tennis Is Very Old and Comes From
the Greeks and Romans.

Tennis ls Very Old and Comes From
the Greeks and Romans.
Tennis is perhaps the oldest Of mod
ern games. 1t is said to have original
ed in the ball games of the Greeks and
Romans. The racket was introduced
during the fifteenth century in France,
where the game was very popular, and
imported into England about the same
time.
Of the origin of cricket we know but
little, though it was possibly identical
with the club ball of the fourteenth
century and was first called "handyn
and handoute."
Bowling green's and alleys We're once
plentiful in London, and Henry VIII.
made an alley at Whitehall. The earli-
est trace of the game appears in an
old print of about six centuries ago.
Few perhaps know that London's
famous thoroughfare, Pail Mall, deriv-
ed it's name from an old pale Mile"
court which stood on the site 800 years
ago. This game was a form of Gro
quet.
Golf or "goff'' seems to have made
its first appearance in the handy ball
of Elizabeth's reign, which was played
with a club tipped with horn. Prince
Henry, the son of James l., occasional
~ played at this game, which was
very popular among the young noble
men of his day.
Football became such a rage with
the London youths of the fourteenth
century that a law was passed to pro-
hibit 1t being played. as archery-then
an important branch of education
was becoming thoroughly neglected

AZ SympathIzen


In the evening at Mercy hospital you
hear from all over the house the little
bedtime voices, aud the sound blends
into something sweet and dear which
hardly forms itself into words. To you
who have not heard 1t, 1t would seem
the strangest sort of music, coming
from all the wards and rooms and
balconies around you-on the lower
floor, on the upper, and sounding up
and down the stairs wherever you
might be. 1t is just the quiet little
chatter of many, many children
ready for sleep, and the doctors and
nurses have heard 1t every night SfOr
20 years. and they wonder why 1t is
with child love so ready to respond to
q call like that of little Helen Keller,
the crowded wards at Mercy and yet
90 little known to those who say-T
Sympathlze. "-Mercy's Messenger.

PURE BRED POULTRY.


Pure bred or standard bred poultry
possesses many advantages over mon
grel or scrub stock. Experience has
proved that pure bred stock, bred for
egg production, win lay larger num-
Der of eggs than common mongrel stock
OF mixed breeding.
Pure bred stock is bred for a Dur
pose; mongrel stock is not. There are
breeds for show, for egg production
meat production and combination OF
the latter two purposes.
Pure bred stock produces an ixnprov
ed quality of meat The eggs are more
uniform in size. shape and color and al
ways bring premium over mixed eggs
IN the market.
A flock Of pure bred poultry makes
q very pleasing appearance. The own
er takes pride in them and hence gives
them better care and feeding.
Pure bred stock will find a quicker
market and always has a greater sell
ing value.
The initial cost Of starting with pure
bred birds is small; the advantages are
many-Texas Station.

III Gay seems TO center dIOuhu IAo
~ dinner table. What glorious
sight it Is on this purely Amer
lean holiday to see the members of the
family from far and near reunite on
this occasionl
As the early celebrations were neces-
sarily simple, it Is more in keeping
with the event to include in the menu
dishes suggestive of those partaken of
in olden times. If you have any old
dishes or pewter ware use them on
this day.
AS the family group includes both
old and young plan your entertainment
so as to be equally enjoyable for all
ages. If cost is a consideration you
can make your table appear very at
tractive by keeping in mind the old
fashioned and hearty simplicity of by
gone days.
For a table that is very appropriate
for an "only family" reunion a fiounce
of decorative Grape paper showing a
country scene with his majesty the
turkey strutting about is attached to
the table cover by means of rope of
twisted paper in autumn coloring of
red and yellow. Place fruit basket in
the center of the table. Seasonable
vegetables may also be combined with
the fruit with very good effect.
If you do not possess an artistic bas-
ket you can make quaint shaped ones
by covering matboard with twisted
green or brown rope Grape paper and
pasting one row after another to the
basket shape.
The candle shades are covered In
grape designed Grape paper with a
fringe of green fringed paper. The lit
tie ice cups can be made similar to the
big basket and are trimmed with small
clusters of grapes.
Artificial bonbon' cups are similar in
design to the ice cups with small COB
blers pasted on the sides. The turkeys
which ornament the place cards can be
painted on cardboard or cut out of
paper napkin and mounted on the card
board. II you secure small pictures
Of your guests they could find their
places In that manner.
A vegetable beastie for each place is
easily made. Carrots, radishes, pota-
toes or any vegetable may be used.
You can make the legs of matches and
the eyes of beads. Around the neck
tie card with merry jingle written
on it expressing a sentiment why you
are thankful that each guest is present
and welcome.
Raisin men with marshmallow hats
and cloves for feet are also cunning
favors for the table.
If you are planning games for after
the feast, much sport can be derived
out Of old time amusements of Thanks
giving character An old fashioned
tafy pull would give pleasure to those
of different ages. Or havefa contest to
see who can string the longest chain
of cranberries within a stated time.
Another clever way to decorate
table is to have a centerpiece of wheat
standing in the center of the table.
Around the wheat could be scattered
grains of corn; little papier mache
turkeys could be placed as Ii they were
eating the corn.
Spinning wheels cut out of cardboard
could be at each place. Names should
be written in old English.

ously in the early Thanksgiving days,

There Is no doubt that human beings
can get along very well on a vegetable
diet. Some of the strongest men in
the world (the Oriental porters) live
almost wholly on rice and the various

for their strength, are purely vege-

be strong one must devour great stores
of meat is no longer considered scien-

Good Christmas Motto.

Peace on earth, and good
will to men," is the Christmas
motto, and the Christmas spirit
should ring in our hearts and
find a kindly expression in acts
and words. Whata joyful thing
for the world it would be if the
Christmas spirit of peace and
good will could abide with us all
every day of the year. And
what a beautiful place this would
be to live in. And it might be
so if each one of US would resolve
in our hearts that peace and
good will should be our motto
every day, and that we, individ-
ually, would do our best to make
the Christmas spirit last all the
year round.

BASKET BALL LIFTED
INTO A MAJOR SPORT
Good Showing of University of Vir-
ginia CUNTS Responsible
for the Advance.

CHARL OTTESVILLE. Va. April s.
Basket ball has been made a major
sport at the University of Virginia.
This move in the athletic policy of the
institution was made last night at a
meeting of the General Athletic As
ISOLATION. This change has been agi-
tated at the University of Virginia for
the past few years. and the brilliant
showing of the basket ball team dur
ing that period was strong factor In
the crystallization of the movement
which resulted in the elevation of the
sport at the institution. This means
that the basket ball players entitled
to recognition for their athletic serv
ice in this branch will be awarded an
unqualified .'N'' the official athletic
insignia of the University of Virginia, in
place of the monogram b V B. given
heretofore, and that the sport now is
on the same plane with foot ball, base
bali and track.
The change seems to express the
general sentiment of the student body
and there was very little opposition
to it. Virginia blazed the trail in es-
Enlistment of the game in the south.
and it is believed that in elevatinE
the sport it has become a pioneer
in step that has been seriously con-
sidered in a number of universities and
colleges where the sport has made such
rapid strides since its establishment
within the past decade.
The change Undoubtedly will in
crease the popularity of the sport at
Virginia and throughout the south. 1t
is thought also that it will have tn.
effect of widening the range of the
Virginia basket ball schedule. which
has heretofore been generally confined
to the immediate division.
The election of the basket ball cap
tain for next year to succeed William
Strickland will be held following an
award of the basket ball letters for the
past season by the executive committee
or the General Athletic Association. This
election probably will be in the next
few days.

Sereeching Single.
DUMONT GOES FULL GAME
BY j. ED GRILLO.

A punching of hits in the sixth in
ming, which gave the Nationals two
runs, paved the way for the defeat of
the Phillies yesterday. These runs were
the result Of singles by Foster and
Milan, Judges well placed sacrifice and
left, which brought home the two
runs.
In the third inning the Griffmen
scored their first run. Henry walked.
and, after Dumont had struck out, Nor
gan got a life on Bancroft's wild throw
and Henry went to third. Foster $
double to right center sent Henry home.
but Morgan in trying to score was
thrown out al the plate.
Dumont pitched the entire nine in
nings. Ordinarily he would have scored
a shut-out, but in the eighth inning he
developed wild streak and Luderus
hit him for double. which Melted the
Phillies their only two runs. Dumont
was in several tight places. but
emerged from them without being
unusual and dropped Stocks little fly to
start the game, Bancroft walked, but
Dumont picked up Paskert's grounder
and forced Stock at third. Dumont then
famed Cravath, and Bancroft. trying
to steal third on the last strike, was
doubled up, Henry to Foster.
In the fiftl4 Dumont was in another
hole With one out Burns singled, but
Demaree famed. Stock got an infield
hit and Dumont walked Bancroft, but
Paskert fouled out 10 Henry. The
score:
