Meaning Of tho Motto.

Young Garfield was household dec
orator, and one day he was called to
the country home Of an eccentric man,
father of large and interesting fam
lily of daughters.
One of the daughters acted as his
guide through the house that he might
give an estimate for decoration. His
attention was caught by a motto.

"Oh," exclaimed the young woman,

In his book, "A Raw Youth" Dos
toevslly has a page on laughter, which
he regards as the surest test of the
heart, and suggests that a girl may
well choose her husband when in
doubt by the quality of his laugh,
which will be a symptom Of his ma
ture, for to know how to laugh is a
gift. "a man will sometimes give
himself away completely by his laugh,
and you suddenly know him through
and through" Most essential In good
laughter is sincerity and freedom from
malice. A sincere laugh, free from
malice, Is gayety.
"A mans gayety is what most be-
trays the whole man from head to
foot. Sometimes one will be for long
time unable to read character, but If
the man begins to laugh his whole
character will suddenly lie open before
you. And so If you want to see into
a man and to understand his soul don't
concentrate your attention on the way
he talks or is silent, on his tears or
the emotion he displays over exalted
ideas. You will see through him bet
ter when he laughs"

INDEPENDENT BALL
WILL BOOM in 1917
Magnates Plan to Boost Sandlot Game
by Forming an Organization.

Independent baseball will boom here
next spring and summer IL plans of the
leading magnates behind the sandlot
game materialize.
Last summer in local sandlot ranks
many disputes were heard when one team
or another claimed the independent cham
ptonship Of the District. Most Of the
leading clubs in this vicinity which had
any claims to the title, such an the Wash
ington, Baltimore and Annapolis Railroad
Company team, the Rex A. c., the Wig
ilants. the Empires and the Mohawk A.
C., played three-gams series with one
another. with the Naval Academy juno
tion club capturing the first honors after
great series with both the Mohawks
and Vigilants
A quartet Of clubs In Alexandria Coun-
ty, Virginia. organized q league toward
the closing days Of the 1915 season for the
purpose Of settling the dispute on the
claim for the Northern Virginian cham
pion. The Alexandria County Athletic
Association team from Clarendon, Va.
won the title after a great series with
the Cardinals, White Sox and Eagles OF
Alexandra City.
This series was played under a strict
ruling Of eligibility Of players and proved
to be a success from the word 60
During the coming spring and summer,
T. is the plans Of the independent mag
mates to organize and play q three-game
series with each club thatSbelisves that
they have q chance OF landing the top
honors. This series will be played some
thing on the idea Of the semi-profes-
sional games that are held on each Sat
urday afternoon in Baltimore.
AL Independent clubs in this city will
/ be eligible to enter the series which
will not be a down-and-out affair Each
I of the clubs i'm the series will present
an eligile list of players before June
l. and will be compelled to play these
players only in these games. This idea
is TO avoid the padding OF all club teams
! when they are to meet some worthy
opponent
A meeting for the purpose of forming
this association will be held at an early
date after the first of the year.

no end OF comment and some went so
far as to say that they were imported

that the members OF the IntercolIesiats

CROKER AGAIN TO RACE
HORSES In AMERICA

New York, Dec. 2S.-Richard Croker.
former Tammany leader and prominent
race-horse owner In the United States,
will send his horses to the starters on
American tracks again. He may take
part in race meetings next summer, but
probably will not have much of a string
IN the American meetings until the fol-
lowing year.
Before Croker left a short time ago
for Palm Beach, Fla, to spend the win
ter he declared he would like nothing
better than TO see his Yale blue and gold
tassels again sweeping down the tracks
in competition with American horses.
He has several youngsters, sired by
Orby. his Derby winner, that he believes
would be able to show their heels to the
best horses on this side of the Atlantic
Croker Is a great admirer of the English
system of breeding and the results 1t has
produced He does not believe Ameri-
can-bred horses will begin to compare
with the English horses until several
years.
Croker confided that he was reluctant
to take part in the English meetings
while the war is In progress. That is
sufficient reason, he believes, to state
that his horses again will be seen on
tracks in the United States.
