Great Players Break Bat
and Mash the Ball

Vale school boys are great base
ball players. In fact they are such
great ball players that when they
get through playing there isn't
much left Of anything. But per-
haps being SO enthused by their
referee had something to do with
it.
The other day the boys. who have
gotten up three champion teams
were anxious for game, and so
they begged Mr.. Miller, the manual
training teacher, to umpire for
them. He did. But before very
long the poor ball had been mashed
as flat as a pan cake, and besides
Gurley Fox had broken one bat
over the ball, in one Of his home
run" triumphs.

Gretchen was filled with envy end
dismay.
"How can one live happily ever
after in such q gloomy old palace,
unless they belong to noble fam
ily." she said.
II should have asked to be q
princess"
So she crossed the seven hills
and seven rivers, and when she
came to the fair lady's home at the
foot OF the golden mountains, she
asked to be made . royal princess.
The honor is yours" said the lady.
The next morning as the hunters
were on their way to the chase, it
happened that the shoe Of the prin-
ce's horse came loose. and he stop
ped into the palace to have 1t
mended. But no sooner had he
seen the princess Gretchen then he
fell In love with her and at once
asked her to become his wife. And
so they were married, and that
evening as the new Queen was
dressed In her court robes with her
ladies in waiting around her, she
said to her mother. Now that I
am married to a royal prince, sure
~ we will live happily ever after"
But her mother only smiled as
she said, Perhaps we will"
At the first peep of dawn, Queen
Gretchen arose, eager to begin liv-
ing happily ever after. She called
for her breakfast, thinking to have
dainty meal, but the servants
were SO worn out from serving the
wedding guests the night before,
that the toast was burned around
the edges, the egg half cooked, the
fruit unsweetened, and the coffee
only milk warm.
Bursting into tears, the unhappy
Queen fled from the castle, and ran
on and on. until she suddenly found
herself in the strawberry bed where
she first had met the fair lady. And
here, flinging herself upon the
ground. she wept as though her
heart would break.
II was sometime later, before
Queen Gretchen became aware that
someone was Standing near her.
Who is it," she asked without
looking up.
Il am your g0dmOther," came the
sweet voiced answer, and Gretchen
was SO surprised that she looked
up and saw the same fair lady who
had granted all her wishes. What
is the matter. dear? Tell me-
1T isn't fair" burst out the
queen. When others are given
what they want, they live happily

communion candles.
Arriving at the High Altar, they
renewed their baptismal VOWS and
then returning to the front pews,

Marjorie Teaches Uncle Major.
did you ever hear the song
about the Corn Soldiers said Uncle
Major. well, one day little Mar
jorie came in, hoped upon my
knee and said. she would teach me
to sing just like they did at school.
You know the words, Like a thous-
and, thousand soldiers"
"Now Uncle!" said Marjorie, "I'll
sing the do-re-mi part and you may
sing the words"
So we began but Marjorie seemed
very much displeased at my effort,
and had about decided she couldn't
teach me how to sing. when sud
denly her little face frightened up.
She had thought of a new idea
that would help us out Of the diff
ficulty.
Uncle, I'll tell you what we can
do. I'll sing real loud and you sing
real soft-then when you don't get
it right it won't show"
