says. If We knew the baby fingers
pressed against the window pane
would be cold in death tomorrow,
never trobule us again, would the
bright eye of our darling catch the
frown upon our brow? Would the
prints of rosy fingers vex us then
as they do nOw?"
We do not know very much what
the children played in those days.
There has been found in the earth
among the ruins OF old Egypt
whole company OF wondrous wooden
sldlers fifteen inches tall and every
soldier carrying lance. These were
perhaps, children's toys: but there
were not many toys in those days.
We know of one kind Of game that
the children played in the day OF
Jesus, for he tells about it In one
of his talks. He says. this genera
tion is like unto children sitting in
the market place and who call unto
their fellows and say, I'VE piped I'M
to you and We did not dance; we
walled. and We did not mourn The
children he saw were disagreed
whether to play wedding or fun
eral." For children, then as now,
initiated the lives of their elders In
their play AS Wordsworth says
"As IL his whole vocation was end
less imitation" Children now play
at the things they will one day
work ut. ! saw some little girls, the
other day, in long dresses. sitting
at table In the yard with their
dolls sitting beside them. They
were doing the same as their moth
ers, Tor rather grandmothers.) SO
boys play at keeping store or drill
like soldiers and girls make mud
pies and nurse their dolls. Just as
actors ard musicians rehearse be-
fore they go before the public. In
deed, the play that children like
best may be some sort of grownup
work. So the girl washes her dolls
lthes and the boy makes a dam In
the creek. Queen Victoria, when a
little girl, was offered her choice OF
games and she asked to be allowed
to wash some windows. Indeed the
play of children is only the prepara-
lion for their future work. We
learn to work as elders by playing
while children.
T think God wants the children
and grown.ups too. to have their
play times. "All work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy" just as "all
play and no work makes him a
mere toy"

CHILDREN PLAYING
IN THE STREETS

One of the most common things
one sees today is children playing
In the streets. To one of the Old
Testament prophets this was the
sign of great happiness and prosper
ity for the people. So he says
tZech. 8:5) The streets of the city
shall be full of boys and girls play
ing in the streets thereof
1t had been y hard time for the
people in the days when the prophet
Zechariah was writing to them.
There had been many wars and fam
ines and other hard experiences, SO
that few men and women lived to
come to old age and there were few
children because go many had died
of hunger and disease. But the
great preacher echariah believes
that better dayh were coming and
the people. when Onre more old
men and women wonld be seen sit
ting in peace and comfort in their
door-ways at the head Of the streets
of the city and the strets would be
full of boys and girls.
One OF the saddest things in the
dreadful Irish famine of 1847 and in
the Boxer Uprising in China and In
many countries during the Great
War was to zee so few children play
trg in the streets because of famine
!, cold or disease.
So it was like that in Zechariah's
day: children were starving and
dying and there were few to play ir
the streets. He says, THE children
and the infants ::swooned in the
streets Of the citys the young child
rer tainted in the tops of every
street" How terrible 1t would be
to see our children in this tOwr
lying in the streets sick and famish
ing. Then how joyous would be the
promise that soon they would be
well and happy again, playing In
the streets.
Notice. first Of all that the child
rem were playing not lying arOunt
as II sick, not quarrelling as II weal
and underfed. When our boys ant
girls r9mp and play we know the,
are healthy and happy. stront
children run and play all day til
they fall asleep from natural fail

BALL GAME A SLAUGHTER

The champions of the Emmons- -Lo-
gan League journeyed over to Mc1n-
Gosh county Sunday and gave the
ounty seat, town there worse drub-
bing than they got here the week be-
fore. When the Linton runners were
finally exhausted, and the nine innings
had been played, the score book show
ed that Linton had annexed only
twenty runs, and Ashley had garner
ed six. In the ninth inning, the score
stood nineteen, to three, and Woods
went in to finish. Ashley made three
more scores in that inning, while
Linton added one. Joe Fairchild who
did the twirling for Linton the year
before and started lawsuit for a
little extra money at the close Of the
season, started for Ashley. His old
teammates knocked him out Of the
box, and q Lehr pitcher relieved him.
After the other pitcher had been
pounded all over the lot, Joe went back
to finish the game. It was fine
chance for the locals to fatten up
their batting averages, but was far
too one-sided to be exciting to the
audience.
