"For goodness sake." exclaimed the
fairy queen when she saw regular

way toward her palace. She said it
to the magical mushroom (you know
who he was) and that person, fairy, l
mean, turned quickly to see what 1t
was that caused the queen so much
surprise.
"Gracious alive!" he had to exclaim
himself. IF it isn't those twins, the
little rascals, coming home with Flip

thoughtfully. But something is lack

A DAILY MESSAGE
BY DR.. WILLIAM e. BARTON
BARTLETT'S CHILDREN.

A man named Bartlett, having sailed
the seven seas, established himself as
trader in Alaska. He remained
through the polar night. and prospered
! in his dealings, and sailed the seas no
more. He married an Eskimo woman,
and was known as q squaW-man, a
term understood in that region merely
as stating q fact and not as conveying
a reproach.
His Eskimo wife was a faithful
through undemonstrative mate. She
learned enough about his kind of cook
ing to please him, and her attentions
to his wardrobe made it less shabby
than that of a bachelor in that region
was likely to- be. His demands upon
her were primitive, and she had no
other wish than to please him. They
lived contentedly together, each one Of
them less unhappy than either would
have been alone.
Bartlett knew enough of the Eskimo
language to buy furs and sell canned
beans, but he never acquired the do
mestic vocabulary, if there is one. of
the Eskimo. He and his wife under
stood what little they needed to COM
municate to each other by signs and a
did not talk to each other.
Four children were born to them,
and Bartlett assumed that It was a
Woman's business to bring up the chill
dren. a mistake which is shared by not
few men in good standing in the
United States. The children learned
their mothers language. not their
fathers.
Those children grew, and Bartlett
saw in them more and more that kin
died his interest. But when he essayed
to teach them to talk his language. all
their experience and his own habits
were opposed. His attempts were awk-
ward, sporadic and futile; and he gave
it up.
There came n geologist, examing the
glaciers; and he had much truck with
Bartlett. who knew the region and the
people and the ice-fields as no other
man with whom the scientific man
could communicate. Moreover Bart
lett was the man to whom he had TO go
for food and supplies.
1t is this geologist who is alleged
to have brought back the strange
story OF Bartlett. and 7 assume that
the story as he tells it is essentially
true. Whether he is a truthful man or
not, I am; and I know fathers who
have permitted their children to grow

Permitting CoIlesians To Play
Ball For Money

why not allow collegians to play
ball for money in the summer"
Lawrence Perry. one of the leading
authorities on sports in the country,
asks the question; and after a calm
consideration OF the facts, after a
careful analysis OF conditions in the
world of sports, "why not?" is the echo.
Regardless of how excellent the col
legian is on the diamond, he must
rank as an amateur if he is to con-
tinue to represent his alma mater. If
during the summer months, he accepts
money for his services and ability he
becomes a Professionalism like there
is any disgrace to the title!
This talk about "the love of the
game" does not hold true. 1t is one
of the ancient beliefs that has been
handed down in college traditions and
cannot be shaken so easily. But it is
bound to disappear, for college men
are beginning to realize the foolishness
of it and already know it is a rule
that cannot be enforced on an extern
sive scale. Some colleges, which
frowning on professionalism, give free
courses to exceptionally good players
in order to hold them, which is a
method of camouflage pure and sim
pie.
Many young collegians are forced
to work during the summer months.
Some of these are varsity men, and if
they were permitted to play profess
sional baseball they would be able to
make more money than in almost any
other kind Of work lasting for the same
period of time, and their enthusiasm
would not be lessened in the slightest.
Because man plays professional ball
is no sign that he will noe take the
most loyal interest in the team dear
est to his heart.
College authorities are giving this
matter attention, especially in the
west. and it wouldn't be surprising if
within the next year or two the rule
was done away with entirely. There is
no harm to the game or to the indi-
yidual in making it possible for col
legian to commercialize his skill dur
ing the summer months. There is no
harm in the collegian playing profess
siona1 ball on the side.~ But profess
sional players should not be permitted
to play college ball on the side. There
in lies the only danger; and it can
be avoided easily.-Florida Metropo-
lis.

GOVERNOR HARDEE IN FAVOR OF
FULL PUBLICITY.

With reference to the movement for
the greater publicity for the acts of
state and county officials and espe-
cially for all tax expending bodies of
the state, Governor Hardee has ex.
pressed himself as being a thorough
believer in the fullest publicity that
can be given public affairs. While
the governor has not expressed himself
as to the bill now before the legisla-
ture. requiring the publication of a
synopsis of the proceedings Of all tax
expanding bodies, he has approved the
principles involved, and has indicat-
ed his hope that a proper bill securing
the objects above referred to will re-
ceive the APPROVAL of the legislature.
