more popular here than they are. The
breeders of Shires have simply on

they liked instead of breeding what
the other fellow preferred as the
French have done. When the Amer

cheron the Frenchman supplied 1t.

KEEPS AWAY FROM UMPIREs
Hughie Jennings Accepts Rulings Of
Arblters Without Question
Kicking Doesn't Pay.

Hughie Jennings spends much Of
his time on the coaching lines, but
he makes It a point not to get into
trouble with the umpires. In a re-
cent game an umpire made two very
close decisions, which would have
been disputed by some of the more
h~ot-headed spirits of the game. But
in each instance Jennings accepted
the rulings without a word. Jennings
demands the same conduct from his
players and recently called one of
them to order for kicking when an
umpire gave a close decision. Hughie
has long come to the conclusion that
kicking doesn't pay.

BUYING HURLERS is LOTTERY
Grover Cleveland Alexander, Star Of
National League, Cost $500
O'TooIe $22,5o0.

In the season of 1910 Grover Cleve-
land Alexander. the star pitcher of the
Philadelphia Nationals, was drafted
from the Syracuse club of the New
York State league, the management of
the Phillies paying the sum of $500 for
him.
In the following seaso the Pitts
burgh club paid the large sum of
$22,5O0 for the release Of one Marty
O'Toole, who was pitching baseball
in a most wonderful manner for the st.
Paul club of the American Association.
Alexander proved a real gem ;
O'Toole after q short career, fell by
the wayside, which goes to prove that
buying baseball pitchers is a lottery.

still, In crates. If sufficient space is
available in the cellar, 1t Is a good
plan simply to place them in small
piles along the wall. Storage in large
piles should be avoided, as 1t is liable
to cause heating and decay.
For storage in banks or pits, pre-
pare the beets as for storage in the
room in the basement or in the out
door cellar. Select a well-drained To-
cation, make n shallow excavation,
about six inches deep, line 1t with
straw, hay, leaves, or similar material,
and place the beets in a cOnical pile
on the lining. Make the bottom of the
pile about the same size as but not
larger than the bottom of the excava-
ton. Cover the beets with the same
material as that used for lining the
bottom of the pit, and carry 1t up sew
eral inches above the apex of the pile
of vegetables, having 1t extend through
the dirt covering. This serves as n
ventilating flue, and 1t should be GOV
cred with a piece of tin or a short
board as n protection from rain. The
dirt covering should be two OF three
inches thick when the vegetables are
stored, and 1t should be increased as
severely cold weather approaches I'M
til 1t is n foot or more in thickness.

Cabbaees.
Heads of cabbage may be cut off and
and stored in conical pits in the same
manner as beets. Another common
and very satisfactory method is to pull
the plants, roots and all, and place
them in n long pit with the heads
down. A few heads may be removed
from time to time without disturbing
the remainder Of the pit. AS slight
freezing does 10 injure the cabbage,
the covering of the pit need not be as
thick as for other vegetables.
Another good method Of storing cab
bage is illustrated in Fig. 10. The
plants are pulled, roots and all, and
set side by side with the roots down
in n shallow trench, the length of
which corresponds to the width of the
bed. The bed may be any width up to
8 to 10 feet and us long as necessary

 years ago." said the theatrical manager. He had bought summer residence at Cos Cob, Conn.,, the pre- vious summer and invited me LID to play Santa Claus and do the chimney act. His property was 3 fair=sized little promontory of land bounded on. one side by the Connecticut. .river. on the other side by Long Island sound, and the New York and New Haven tracks formed the base line. If there is any road affected by tramps it is that same New Haven road, and wherS 1 arrived, two or three days before Christmas, there was a line of them waiting their turn at the gate that re- minded me of a highly successful ad- vance sale, one tramp near the gate even offering to sell his advanced po- sition for 10 cents. Booth was much worried about the dangerous-looking fellows, and it struck me that dog would be highly appropriate as gift. I wired to a friend in New York, and lllP udt beIOIc Alll tuc DlSScSL Siberian hound I ever saw was wait ing at the little station for me. Booth was tickled to death, and we managed to chain that dog just inside the main gate near the lodge, and then we shook hands. It was an awful big dog, big ger than a little donkey that arrived on the next train with a gocart as a present for Booths little daughter, Ed wina.
 Well, we fixed up the presents that night. I dressed up in fur rugs and traAs as Santa Claus and had arranged to drive the donkey into the reception room and distribute the gifts from the weE-laden gocart.
 "The dog was to remain in the little shed we had extemporized for him, but he didn't. He was there on business, and he attended to it promptly.

Some Very Old Yule'
 tide Celebrations

TT is certain that very early in the
 Christian era Christmas was cele- | brated in Britain, mingling in its festivities some of the winter festival customs of the ancient Britons and the Roman invaders, for traces of those celebrations are still seen In some o1 the Christmas customs of modern times.
 The ancient Goths and Saxons called their festival Yule. Throughout the middle ages and down to the Reforma. tion the festival of Christmas engraft. ed on the pagan rites of Yule continued throughout Christendom to be univer. sally celebrated with every mark of rejoicing. On the adoption of a new system of faith by r1ost of the north ern nations of Europe In the sixteenth century the Lutheran and Apgelican churches retained the celebration of Christmas and other festivals, which Calvinists rejected absolutely, denounc. ing the observance of all such days, ex. cept Sunday, as superstitious and un. scriptural.
 oAihSo liit ICISIl LII ALI 0u tuc oICut a law was passed In relation to holi. days, by virtue of which the twelve days after the Nativity of our Savior were set apart for the celebration of the Christmas festival. Some writers are of the opinion that but for Alfred's strict observance of the full twelve holy days' he would not have been de feated by the Danes in SIS, for 1t is charged that his enjoyment of the fes' tivities sf Christmas hindered him from preparation for the battle.
 We find that In 961 King Edgar eel ebrated the Christmas festival with great splendor at York, and in 1918 Ethelred kept his Christmas, with the brave citizens of London who had de. tended the capital, with siege and -stoutly resisted Swegen, the tyrant king of the Danes.
 Edward the Confessor, it is noted celebrated the first Christmas festival of his coronation with great rejoicing, and in 1066 on Christmas day William the Conqueror was crowned king of England at Westminster. The Nor. man kings and nobles who now be. came rulers of England displayed their taste for magnificence in the most re. markable manner at their coronations. tournaments and their celebrations of Christmas, Easter and Whitsuntide.
 At the Christmas feast minstrels played on various musical instruments during dinner and sang or told tales afterward both in the hall and in the chamber to which the king and his no. bles retired for amusement. Thus it is written of a court minstrel:
 Before the king he set him down
 And took his harp of merry sound;
 And, as he full well can,
 Many merry notes he began.
 In 1067 the Conqueror, kept grand Christmas in London, having invited number of the Saxon chiefs to par. ticipate, and also caused proclama- ton to be read in all the churches de claring it to be his will that "all the citizens of London should enjoy their national laws as in the days of King Edward"

 Held that night their Christmas wassaili Many carol, old and saintly,
