BALL PLAYED BY PRISONERS
Eastern Penitentiaries Have Teams
That Put Up Good Exhibitions
Of the National Game.

Many prisons and penitentiaries have
baseball teams composed of inmates,
and the national sport has done much
to revive the health and spirits Of
prisoners. These baseball teams are
uniformed and play regular schedule
of games, but of necessity these games
are always played on the prison home
grounds.
One of the best known prison teams
is that of Sing Sing. 1t is known as
the Mutual Welfare league team, and
last season it won more than 90 per
cent of games played with visiting
mines. The prison baseball field has a
splendidly graded surface, and there
are bleachers for spectators. The team
plays Saturday and Sunday after
Moons. Visiting teams come from New
Jersey and Connecticut. The prison
team has won from some of the best
. semi-professional mines in these states.
The Eastern penitentiary in Philadel-
phia has long maintained q baseball
team, and has developed many good
| players.

CHRISTMAS THE WORLD AROUND.

This year all the simple, majestic
beauties Of the first Christmas seem
making wistful but peculiarly poig-
nant plea to be remembered. Peace
and good will after a bitter estrange-
ment are ours to live again.
We are free to labor together to
win the world by building up, not by
tearing down. If we choose we may
be unified and inspired to effort by
Peace as we have been by War, and
labor to replace nameless terror, flu
tile pain and feeble wailing by
"Children's faces looking up
Holding wonder like a cup"
We may buy with our riches Of
money and of resources the love and
gratitude Of the world it's need;
we may spend our young strength in
service that will win for us the rev.
erence and trust Of the nations; we
may barter our material advantages
for tho deep satisfacuons Of a soul
at peace with itself. or we may pur-
chase food and drink and ali the
Joys Of soft uving-while the world
starves outside our gates.
Never was there Christmas with
such possibilities for the giving of
gifts that are vital and healing, gifts
that are golden and fragrant-ft to
be Laid at the feet OF The Child.

Japan's diplomacy of Necessity"
From the japan Advertiser CTokio).

Japan's diplomacy Of necessity" is
the fundamental fact Of all her policies.
Her people are increasing in numbers
more rapidly than any other people in
the world. Her SOIL intensively cult
waited to a high pitch, cannot nlucn
longer support them. They arc debarrea
from emigrating where they might thrive
and permitted to eEligrate where they
cannot thrive. Japan herself perceives
and acknowledges the hard logic OF
facts and disclaims any intention Of
thrusting her emigrants on lands where
it is only too clear they will not be
allowed to settle, as things are in the
world at present. This situation is III
part the creation Of the white mans ne
cessities, and Japan therefore has a
moral claim that he shall not interfere
with her expansion into regions where
it does not conflict with his own vital
interests
But Japan cannot emigrate to Asia
where the doors are open. She is met
there with prohibitions no less strong
than those which debar her from Call
ifornia and Australia In whatever part
OF the Asiatic mainland she goes she
finds the Chinese emigrant competing
with hers and beating them exactly as
her emigrants compete with and beat
the white man in California The only
solution, therefore, seems TO be that
Japan shall become the workshop Of
Asia, just as Britain, a century ago In
somewhat similar conditions, became the
workshop of the world.
This diplomacy Of necessity" seems
to deserve somewhat closer exa ininatfon
than it has received. Tho latter insists
that at the back of Japar's claims in
China lies economic pressure of tho
most acute kind, and the claim itself is
part and parcel Of g. consistent policy
for which the nation has fought two
great wars and for which, If necessary.
1t would fight again. For the altern-
ative, as the japanese sec 1t, Is extnc-
ton" Mr.. Vanderlip describes It BIZ "a
living problem, a problem of temorrow's
dinner for 57,o00,ooo people, and It has to
be answered somehow"

New Passenger Fares.
From the New York Times


The new freight rates get moro atten-
ton because they are the more import
ant, their total exceeding passenger
fares three times or more. But passen-
ger fares perhaps will lead the way III
forming public opinion regarding the
new rate and fare schedules. Passengers
vote, and freight does not. Besides,
freight costs can be shifted to consumers
better than passenger fares, even when
they are a business cost, and personal
fare for pleasure cannot be shifted at
all The latest official figures regarding
passenger fares are for July. In that
month they totaled s133, 100000, against
s12o, 900 last year. For eight months
this year passenger fares totaled $50
100000, against SITS, 600 last year. For
July the gain was 600 against a
gain of sac, 100, 900 for eight months. The
gain was larger for the latest month re-
ported than for the average month.
These figures disclose no resentment at
the increased cost Of travel. Prohaoiy
the more correct inference is that Juiy
is a. good month for pleasure travel ana
that the effect of the increased 1ares
like the increased rate, will not be re-
Elected in the figures until OCTOBER Ok
November.

Out of Place.

A book-lover was seated in his H.
brary, surrounded by scattered vol
uanes. Encouraged by the reports of
discoveries Of valuable fragments of
manuscripts in other peoples books,
he was having little search Of his
own. His small son was on the floor
assisting the enterprise.
Father" said the child solemnly,
suddenly breaking the silence, "does
every book have a fyleaf?"
Certainly" replied the father, "un-
less it has been torn OUT
well" said the child, in tone of
deep concern, give just found a fly
squashed on the wrong page!"

What China Thinks Of Us.
Pannr1


The Chinese, it appears, entertain a
general and to their minds well founded,
disdain for the west, as compared with
their own racial and national superior
tty. One writer flags western arrogance
for pretending superiority. He COM
mands attention, for he does not merely
assert. He gives his reasons. Thus:
'eYou were great only once. and that
time Is not now. You will never pro-
duce a Bible or a Shakespeare again, for
used to luxuries as you now are, you
viii forever despise the simple poverty
that produced the manly virtues which
evolved the philosophy of Plato and
Paul's day. The ascetism and unself-
ishness of your Bible gave you sturdy
virtues, but now that you have machin-
cry you are looking unto wealth Tor
greatness
The. writer ascribes China's superiority
TO tho Chinese lack of 'rebellious envy
on the part Of the unhappy against tho
privileged few," and the little oppor-
tunity for that grinding oppression which
breeds undyfng hate, because prom
inence and seifshness arc synonymous;
We glory in teaching. Confucdus tn AL
our Schools. You throw your greatest
book out Of your schools"
After declaring that we were harder
to ctyi1t1o than any race" he predicts our
downfau and the exaltation OF Chine.
s.In the adaptation OF ourselves to the
fnveutve age you win see that we SHAH

not of a sporting turn and he knew
only one joke and that very poor
pun which he told on rare occasions
He became jocular only when war was
in prospect and Bismarck said OF him
that he became 10 years younger when
the Franco Prussian war began In 1870.
Moltke disliked losing at cards SO
much that his family always arranged
to let him win. His wife would even
go SO far as to cheat in order to let
her distinguished husband win, and the
family life was one whole conspiracy to
indulge him in his foible. At the close
OF a game he would reckon to the small
est amount. 'It is really wonderful that
I have won in spite of my bad play
he would remark suspiciously, but he
never questioned the result. The points
were always half pfennig, and even
when he played with the kaiser the
stake was not higher.

Their Choice.

The children were going to have a

announcement ard was waiting to
hear their opinions Of her choice.

tested.
Mother smiled She had been afraid
they might offer worse ones than this.
But your own daddy didn't have

For a minute Ruth was silenced
but she was thinking. II know, moth

young when you chose him. Now you
know more and it does seem like you
ought to be better chooser."

LET THE OLD YEAR GO ITS WAY
By William HerscheIl.


Let the Old Year go it's way
Down the mists of Memory Bay,
Where a million others like 1t
Ride the waves Of Yesterday;
Where the tides roll ever onward,
Never inward, never dawnward,
Always washing, washing yonward
With their flashing, splashing spray.
Let the Old Year go it's way
Breathe no prayer to have it stay,
Send it out with all your SORROWS
Where the gloom gulls wait for
prey.
Let 1t take those long hours dreary
When you waited, worn and weary.
For some wordsfrom Chateau Thierry
OF loved one in the fray.
Let the Old Year go its way
Though it brought one golden day,
When the Sun of Right Triumphant
Cleared the skies of battle gray.
Yet, somehow, Fate seemed to bor-
row
Bits Of JOY to make q sorrow
Made for some sad tomorrow.
Fen when hope held sweetest sway.
Let the Old Year go its way
Down the mists of Memory Bay,
Where million others like it
Ride the waves of Yesterday.
Go to meet the New Year-Cheer it
With This is my-year spirit
Then, that Eli the world may hear it,
Sing peaceborn carol gay!

RIGHT WAY TO READ.
By Sydney Smith.

The only way to read with any
efficiency is to read SO heartily
that dinner time comes two hours
before you expected it. 10 SIT
with your Livy before you ana
hear the geese cackling that
saved the capital, and to see with
your own eyes the Carthaglan
suffers gathering up the rings OF
the Roman knights after the
battle of Cannae and heaplng
them into bushels; and to be SO
intimately present at the actions
you are reading of that "hen
anyone knocks at the door II Wlll
take you two or three seconds TO
determine whether you are IN
your own study or in the plains OF
Lombardy looking at Hannibal
weather beaten face-that is the
only kind Of study that is not
tiresome, almost the only klnd
that is not useless.

Frozen Brandy Sauce.

This is rather novel pudding
sauce. and it is the best to serve with
plum pudding that I know. Heat
one cupful of milk with one sixteenth
teaspoonful Of salt and stir in one
level teaspoonful of cornstarch mois-
tened with little cold water. Stir
over hot water until slightly thick
ened and smooth, cook for four or five
minutes longer and stir in the yolk
of an egg beaten lightly with half a
cupful of sugar. Remove from the
fire, cool, add teaspoonful Of va
nilla extract, bit Of grated nutmeg
and one cupful Of thick cream
whipped solid. Turn into chilled
freezer and freeze slowly. When the
cream begins to CONCEAL add half a
cupful of brandy and freeze solid.
Do not add the brandy at first, or 1t
will not freeze for long time. Other
s, flavorings can be used if preferred,
such as bitter almonds or Maraschino.
