SATURDAY NIGHT.

With the Howard game out OF the
way, the high school basket ballers
will not let up, but will devote the
remainder Of their practice time this
week In preparing for the home game
with Vermillion high school Saturday
night. The visitors are ranked as
likely winners Of the state champion

From what can be learned of the
southerners. they are a husky. rough
bunch and willing mixers from whis-
ilc 10 whistle. They have had little
trouble in disposing of their oppon-
ents 10 date by good margins and
are confident OF beating Madison.
Madison is going nicely at this
j%uncture of the season and a defeat,
while il will not discourage the boys,
may disturb their equilibrium for the
next few games, said equilibrium
meaning a loss Of confidence. a con
dition, by the way. apt to lose other
games.
Basket ball success Is largely a
matter of psychology. If n team

he really was a beautiful boy with
out the rags and dirt.
There was a great del OF talking
In Jacks house, and Toms name
was often spoken. Letters were
written. too. and one day a long
letter came in response from grand
father.
Then the grandest thing Of all
happened Aunt Nell took Jack
and Tom down to the country one
golden October day! When they
reached grandfather's house that
dear old gentleman said:
"YOu look just like the boy I
want, Tom. need some one to
drive me around the country and
to learn to be a useful boy to an
old doctor. What do you think?"
Something came in Toms throat
and he could not speak. He looked
out over the lawns and flower beds
where some late flowers were nod
ding gayly. Then Jack saved the
day;
"You are to live here, Tom.' he
shouted; you are to be grand
fathers boy and learn things and
every summer l am coming to stay
here!"
Every one was laughing and
shaking Tom by the hand. 1t was
the jolliest time you ever saw. and
1t ended only to begin in years Of
safe happiness for little Tom.
Maybe I did not 6nd corners

father, "but | found Jes' Tom,' and

for they had been occupying the
same box for some time.

boxes; kids do queer things!" 1t
was a deep, terrible voice that said
this. Jes Tom" quaked with fear
and Jack with with sympathy.
Suddenly light shone in the

Then the man with the big voice
drew the two trembling children
out with no ungentle hand and
stood them right before Jacks own

weary day and hunt for the corner
was soon told. "Jes' Tom" stood
forlornly hanging his head He be-
longed to no one. The boy who
earlier in the day had a basket on
his arm now stood near Jack and
his fther. The big policeman, too,
found nothing interesting in Tom,
SO he wondered if he could slip
away.
But Jack saw the motion and
called to him.
"Jes' Tom is my brother" he
cried Loyalty, II want him to come
with me-"
Then another story was told by
Tom and Jack together It had

AROUND THE CORNER

AROUND THE CORNER
When Jack came down from his
beautiful country homo to live in
the city he did not realize what was
happening to him. for 1t was a dark
night when he reached his destina-
alton, and besides, he was fast
asleep. When he awoke next morn
ing he was so shocked he could not
speak; so he went out on the bot
tom step of the hard stone stoop to
think it over and cry few tears.
No trees no lovely meadows;
no winding shady lanes. Houses,
miles of them, and stones, hard,
ugly stones!

busy, but do not go around the cor

Later Aunt Nell came out of the
house on her way to do an errand.

she smiled.
Don't go around the corner"

Jack, forlornly. He imagined the

carelessly, then hurried off in the
opposite direction.
Jack began to grow interested
He did not mean to disobey. He
would not go around the corner"
he would only walk a bit down the
street and see the corner.
He reached the spot where the
houses ended before they began
again on the other side of another
ugly street, but there was no ami
NAL in sight. There was, however,
very good natured boy with spec
kles on his face and a basket on
his arms.
Hello! Yellow Cornislk!" cried
the boy pleasantly. What you look

"The Corner" smiled Jack in re-
ply. Follow your nose, country,
and take your choice of corners;

That was encouraging and inter

enough.
BY and by he began to feel hun
cry; still no corners. He grew very
tired at last Once or twice people
spoke to him; that frightened him,
and he ran. Then when he could
find a quiet spot he sat down and
rested. But no corners did he see.
Finally the shadows began to fall
and an awful horror crept into
Jacks soul.
He was lost! Home and mama
gone forever! Not even the sight
of a corner to cheer his aching
heart. At last he came to the wa.
ter. But there was no pretty peb-
bly, beach. only wooden thing
that ended right in the black, dirty
stream. Jack could stand it no
longer. He found a pile Of boxes
nearby, he crept in among them
and sobbed as if his heart would
break.
Then he fell asleep and dreamed
OF the country and the white pebbly
beach at the foot of grandfathr's
lawn. What awakened him Jack
could not tell, but when he opened
his yes the moonlight was making
even the black water lovely, and
some one near him was sobbing
just as he had done before he fell
asleep. Cautiously Jack peered
around the edge of the box and in
