That II Is time TO 20 to bed

Time was my judgment they'd ac-

All my commands they bravely kept.
But now they've reached the reasoning

The answering back and questioning

Their little minds are keen and swift
While helDlessly l seem to drift.
No mere command with them will go
The reason why they want to know,
They wear me out. They argue back
And puncture with their sure attack
The case I've made. iii with grin

'Twould drive great loglclan wild
To argue with healthy child.

And any bright-eyed little girl

And yet I'm glad those madcap elves
Are daily thinking for themselves.
I'm glad they have opinions strong
On what is right and what is wrong
And oh, hope, when older grown.
In life's debates they'll hold their own

The straits 10 which the aristocracy
of this country are reduced is shown
by the fact that few years ago the
navy bean was about as popular n
form OF diet as the half-soed round
steak, whereas now II * more sought

and pineapple Ice now struggling fever

bean, after II has been run through
a hay cooker over night.
The navy bean never found its way
to the dining table Of the rich until
the European war broke out in several

raised In this country were fed to the

Sphinx writes in Cincinnati Enquirer:
Even I'm 1880. or less than forty years
ago, the players had a wonderfully
hard row to hoe, and very few OF
them were paid for their playing.
There was only one professional
league in existence at that time, and
the players in it we're not paid the
gilt-edge salaries that are given even
the poorest players OF today.
Poor hotel accommodations and lack
of sleeping car accommodations we're

that early day had to put up with.
PLAYERS not members Of the National
league In that far Off day gave their
time and service simply for the sen-i
timent that went with the sport and
fun afield.
I recall one team, the Akrons or
Akron. o., who came all the way from
Akron to st. Louis to play the Browns
in 1881.
There were some great players on
that Akron team, notably Sam Wise.
later played at second on Boston's
champion league team; Swartwood, the
hard hitting fielder, who was later with
Pittsburgh; Charley Morton, who is
still in the game; Andy Pierce and
many other crackerjacks.
They made the long and dusty ride
from Akron in the day coaches. NOT
one of them had the price of a Sleep

cred with smoke and CRIME and dust,
for travelling was dustier and rougher
I'm those days than 1t is now.
For their pains the Akron boys were
given four days board at cheap ho-
tel in st. Louis and bus ride to and
from the baseball grounds.
But, at that, they were a happy-go-
lucky. we'll satisfied lot, who thought OF
nothing but cavorting on the field ana
having a good time.
The st. Louis Reds of the early '7Os
were a better team than the Akrons.
Tom Sullivan was their catcher and
Jim Calvin their pitcher, and In their
playing ranks were crackerjacks like
Packie Dillon. Tom oron, Tom Lofts.
Trick McSorly and John It. Magner.
The top salary on the Reds was $50 a
