New York, Oct, The Yankees
won their second consecutive game
Of the World Series yesterday by the
conventional score of 3 to 0, but this
time the Giants can blame their mis-
fortune on the crime wave.
Waite Hoyt covered McGraw's men
and held them helpless while Babe
Ruth and Bob Meusel sent through
their pockets. Ruth stole second and
third and Meusel stole home. Those
were crimes OF violence rather than
of stealth. A miscreant who went to
the City Hall and carried off the
ruiiies and fiourishes" could hardly
display more audarity.
There was, TO he sure, an element
Of surprise in Ruth's stolen bases. 1t
is startling to see so huge a man sud-
denly abandon his fixed post at top
speed. If some morning the WOOL
worth Building should lean over and
pat passer-by on the back without
preliminary warning somewhat the
same effect might be created as that
which attends the sight of Ruth's en-
tire body in motion all at once.
Meuscl's steal of home was differ
ent The plate was as openly arrived
ar as they said the covenants would
be. His feat was more than & steal. 1t
was the most successful and public
piece Of revenge ever executed since
the Ides Of March when Brutus stab
bed Caesar at the foot of Pompeys
statue. When Meusei came to bat in
the eighth inning, Earl Smith, the
Giants catcher, crowded him, or at
any rate Meusel thought he did and
mentioned the matter. Words followed
What they were makes no particular
difference but they mounted to SC

was tempted to defy the umpire, and

ceNdcd upon him. Openly he con-

plate with message for Ward, who
was at bat.
The message Fcwstcr rciayed was
the same as that Of the prodigal sons:

Hard Christmases
for c.. Washington
THREE

- o ONE has told us much about
w George Washington's Christ
masses. But from tile record
Of his life we learn how he spent some
Of his Christmas days.
1t was very cold Christmastide in
1777 at Valley Forge. Snow was on
the hills. Everything was frozen. And
Washington's army was In great need
Of food, clothing and shelter.
Instructions of parties Of men to 80
foraging for food are entered in the
orderly book for that Christmas day
at Valley Forge, Which was anything
but merry for Washington.
Still more desperate were the food
conditions at Morristown. in ITO,
when Washington reported that his
army was on half allowance and near
starvation. 1--WE have never expe-
rienced like extremity at any period
Of the war;" declared Washington,
pleading that food be sent.
There was welcome Christmas
present for Washington and his men
at New Windsor in 1880 when big
Christmas wagon came with over 1000
shirts and other comforts made by
Philadelphia women patriOts-thlngs
needed by the men under Washington,
who were cheerfully suffering all sorts
of hardship in order that this country
might be free. The Philadelphia wom-
en- also raised, that year, over $780,
GOO in aid Of the soldiers.
The fine old Colonial mansion (the
Craigie house) In Cambridge, Mass,
(now widely known as the home of
Henry w. Longfellow), was the place
where Washington spent his first
Christmas as commander Of the Rev.
dictionary army in ITS. Mrs. Wash
ington was there with him Gas she was
later at Valley Forge), and there was
some pleasure in the midst Of the
heavy cares and responsibilities car
ried by the great Washington.
A year later Christmas day found
Washington at the head Of his 2,400
brave men making his celebrated
crossing Of the Delaware river, nine
miles above Trenton. The snow and
sleet were binding, it Is recorded, ant
the cold was intense But hearts
were brave.
Wherever he was at Christmastide,
Washington was cheered with the
thought that the cause of the strlg-
Cling colonies would surely win. A
few days before Christmas, 1776, he
wrote to his older brother, John Au-
gustine Washington: Between you
and me, our affairs are In very bad
situation. However, under
full persuasion Of the justice of our
cause, / cannot entertain an idea that
It will finally sink, though 1t may re-
main for some time under cloud"
Washington must have had some
very merry Chrlstmases at Mount Yer
non. There were no children Of his
own with whom Washington could
romp. But we can easily imagine
the big-hearted general putting on
false beard Of fuzzy white whiskers
and singing pack over his back for
the delight Of the little ones in the
neighborh0od.
General Washington was truly the
"Father Of His Country" and we have
a very good idea Of the sort Of holiday
spirit in which he observed the "glad
Christmastide" when our republic was
in Its infancy.
No one in all our bright history as
a nation has handed down a more ra-
diant Christmas message Of hope and
faith.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

nnlf HETHER we shout 1t
Vk0 or sing 1t, we must be
sure to mean it; for If
we really mean it when we
say, merry Christmas, every
body" we will do all in our
power to make Christmas day
Of unsullied joy for all those
within reach of our influence.
Christ came into the world to
bring light which brings Joy. He
came to bring deliverance to
men; to solve their difficult
problems; to inspire g higher
hope in the spirit Of men. That
is the cause of the deepest Joy
to mankind. Yes, Christmas Is
a joyful day as well as sacred
day.
It is a day for doing good
deeds, as well as thinking good
thoughts. It is not q day for
receiving gifts only. There are
SO many opportunities for doing
good, that we may receive Joy a
hundredfold, with the expendi-
ture Of just a little time and
thought. There are many who
have little; many who do not
know the meaning Of this day as
you know It; many whose spirits
are crushed by disaster. Re-
member them Boys World.

S-u-u! OTduu-
pa, think he's comming, interrupted
Fred as he again climbed down
and ran to the window. Nothing
doing" he said with much disgust and
gave signal with his arm like the
flagman does when telling a train to
60.
Grandpa obeyed the signal and con-
tinued: "He lived under the care of
the fairies until he grew to be quite
a man. Then the queen ordered her
fairy workmen to build Claus hut,
as he was mortal and could not live
yhe way the fairies did, any longer.
Claus had lots Of time when he got
into his new home and he occupied it
by carving things. The fairies had
taught him how to white and he be-
gan making all sorts Of toys.
"There was village some distance
from his hut and every time he heard
of little boy or girl down in the
village who was sick, he took them
one Of his little toys. The children
grew to like him ever so much. After
a while he became acquainted with
SO many children that he found it
hard to get around and see them all
so often. He decided that he would
work all year making toys, and then
60 around and find out which of the
children had been good. and leave
them presents.
"When the fairies heard Of this
plan they were delighted and gave
