The Legend of
Christmas

THEY say that on that first,
4 strange Christmas Night,
So dazzling was the radiance of
the Light,
That sun and moon and stars leaped
in the sky,
And danced in ecstasy
The silly sheep fled, scampering in
dismay,
Yet stayed their foolish fleeing, SO
they say,
To kneel in alteration and in prayer.
And peace was everywhere.
The crooked stump stood straight,
the legend tells,
And held forth leafy arms; and tiny
bells,
Wee, starry blossoms, g mined the liv-
ing green.
No withered thing was seen.
The lion and the lamb watched side
by side,
Sharing the wonders of that Christ
mastide,
The air was rich with perfume, sweet
with song.
The cock crowed all night long.
And every Christmas Eve, so runs the
tale,
In field and forest, mountain-top and
vale,
The blessed fairies guard, that over
No evil may befall.
They say that angels hover all the
night,
Close to the listening earth; and
when the light
OF Christmas morning heralds the
glad Day,
They fold their wings and pray.
You never saw these wonders? No,
Only the pure and childlike may des-
The tiny fairies fitting in the grass,
And speak them as they pass.
Guiltless of guile, from greed and en-
Wy free
Oh! very like the Christ-Child must
you be,
To hear blessed angel when he
sings,
Or feel the brush of wings.

Times.

RULE OF CRICKET
"Stand STILL" Fundamental Idea
of the Game.
And Frank Ward O'Malley, Writing in
Eastern Magazine, Says "Stand
Still" Is Right.

An Introductory chapter to the OF
fetal rules of cricket, written by the
noted East Indian cricketer, Prince
Raniitsinhji, caught my Interest in
the opening sentence. Prince Ranji's
first words gave me in a flash an in
sight of the big fundamental of the
game
"'Stand stir is the most important
direction to give to the cricket begin
ner," ran Ranjfs opening words.
"Stand still or you will never make Il
cricket player. 1t is a good plan for
the young batsman to have his right
leg pegged down, if he naturally can
not stand still"
There you are Someone said some
thing when he said that Waterloo was
won on the playing fields of Elton and
Harrow When the French charged,
Wellington's former criclleterS played
the game-stood still. And doubtless
the Cambridge batsman spending the
summer out on the field had his legs
on leash. 1t is signifcant-to come
back to America for a mOment-that
the only American city where cricket
has obtained a foothold is Philadel-
phia. Foothold is right.
The wide differences between the
rules of cricket and baseball rules
were many, | saw as l studied the
cricket code The first cricket rule
| read, for instance. said that when
the bowler, or pitcher. shoots his fast
one toward the plate and the thrown
ball first lodges in the batsnan's
clothing, the bah shall become dead
In baseball on the other hand, when
the same thing happens the batter be
comes dead.
There is a variation of this idea in
a following rule which says that if the
wicket -catcher-reacheS out
in front of the wicket-hOme plate
to catch the pitched ball while the
batsman is taking smash at it, 1.-THE
player shall not be out" In baseball
however, if the catcher were to reach
far out in front of the home plate and
roguishly try to snatch the ball out
of the air, especially at the precise
moment that Babe Ruth's pet wagon
tongue came rushing through the air
to give the ball little kiss somebody
would be out For days and days he
would be out.
One more rule and the American
reader will have as clear an under
standing of the ntricacles of cricket
as even l have. The final rule in the
official laws of cricket runs:
1.-THE interval for luncheon shall be
forty minutes on each day of the
match. The game then shall be re-
sumed each day at the usual hour, no
allowance being made for the ten
minutes between innings"
No mention is made OF afternoon
tea. Tea is underStood.-Fran Ward

Peace on the
Hearth

%, 1922, western Newspaper Union)

N'''N'-'f
THE Christmas bells We're making
r. their glad announcement again,
but Toby Fowler was not in sympathy
with them. "Peace on earth! said
he, "What peace have l on earth?
1t wasn't that his worldly affairs
troubled him, but a man may have
good job and a sum in the savings
bank and yet find no peace in his
house and this it was that dimmed
Mr.. Fowlers holiday season and made
its gladness clash in his ears, there
was no peace upon his hearth,
And, as a troubled home is like a
rolled spring, or a splinter in the
hand, sending on its turbid disturb
ance or its pain, so there was no peace
In his world, upon his earth.
The blame seemed to point to Mrs.
Fowler, as though the difficulty might
be in her disposition or her indisposi-
ton. There is natural discomfort
that nothing can cure, faut-flnding
ambition that nothing can satisfy an
ingratitude that never is thankful, a
nagging nature that is never pleased,
and his wife appeared to be possessed
of all these in the estimation of Tobias.
But the root of the trouble lay
deeper than the mans understand
ing Of it. 1t was lonely house. II
was a silent house. 1t was an order
ly house. There was no child in it.
And, as many discoveries and
cures have been accidental, so Mr..
Fowler Numbered upon the remedy
for his troubles rather than devised
It, For it was for his own comfort
rather than with the hope of stilling
the home tempests that he brought
in a lovely little boy on Christmas
day and announced that he had adopt
ed him.
He had been too uncertain of APP
prevail in the matter to have any
conference about it first at home
but, after her first expressions of sur
prise, his wife did not leave him long
in doubt, for the child found place
in her arms as one who belonged
there. Not only to him, Mr.. Fowler felt,
but to them a child had been given.
1t is amazing what solutions OF
trouble a little child can bring, what
response meets its dependent claims
upon love, what Joy ministers to its
development, what peace is felt even
amid its clamors for our self-forget-
fulness With happy satisfaction
in the midst of all its new cares peace
had come to Mr.. Fowler's hearth and
to his earth.

Owing to the rapid movement of
women's athletics in France where
there are 80 organizations of women
athletes all with large memberships
the fear has been expressed among the
medical fraternity that zeal may out
run their discretion and the subject
has been given some considerable at
tentiOn by the members of the Medical
Congress of Physical Education. This
body has made a number of important
suggestions for the guidance of wom-
Ell who desire to take part i'll athletics.
One of them is that all such persons
desiring to enter organized contests
should be made to secure the consent
of some competent physician, to be
given only after thorough examina-
tion of the candidate. The members
also adopted certain restrictions for all
women's events and suggested that the
long jump be suppressed entirely.

Women's Best Weapon.

The question of suitable weapon for wo-
men in politics again has been raised, with
about the same differences in opinion result
ing Some insist wiles are better than the
Zig stick and others are agreed that neither
method should be adopted Thus three dis
t1nct views are expressed, one believing in
hattery, another in force and still another in
the adoption Of the Straightforward recog-
mzed methods such as are used openly and
frankly by any organization of standing and
integrity.
1t ought to be beneath women's dignity
to resort to fattery to get what they want
in politics. Mrs. Thornton Lee Brown, of
Missouri, national organizer of the demo-
cratic women, incnes to the belief that the
same rule that applies to the housewife in
obtaining the consent of her husband to the
purchase of luxury or the qualification of
desire would work in politics Perhaps it
would but the women should never adopt
it They can so farther by disdaining to
employ such methods. That were better left
to individuals-for instance to the house
wives in their hcmes-while the organizations
should be protected from tendencies that sure
w would weaken them.
Women might as we'll recognize now at
the beginning OF their activities in the 'politi-
cal life of their country that they can strength
en- their cause by maintaining it in dignity.
Women have place in the political life OF
the nation if they will only take it. They
cannot hope 10 occupy it strongly if their
vision penetrates no farther than their flat
terry They should lift themselves above the
lobbyist The men WILL like them better in
politics if they stand faces to the front and
so1idlv behind their demands Trickery has
its dangers, as those who make the mistake
OF adopting it will realize sooner or later.

More War, Says Mr.. Lloyd George.

Humanity is not done with wars in the
opinion of David Lloyd George, who has adj
dressed a number of audiences in the United
States and voiced the warning that another
conflict more terrible than the last might
come to the world The impressive thing
about Mr.. Lloyd Georges belief is that it
is one arrived at through years OF experience
in actual conflict He was the British prime
minister soon after the beginning OF hostl-
ties in Europe, and remained at his post I'M
til the end He knows Europe well, of course,
and what he has to say about the old world
is interesting ana highly important.
Mr.. LLOYD George has said repeatedly that
he came to America unattached, that he rep
resented nothing officially but has come as
a private British citizen eager to see for the
first time the great western world. He seems
to have found however, difficulty in sep
arating himself from British traditions, poll
cies and plans as was illustrated in his ad-
dress at Toronto, Cana. when he warned that
Great Britain would fight again If need be.
The world had better know" he declared,
that what the British empire has done it
can do again II freedom is inperiled." Then
he added: care wars done with" He an
swered it by saying: 81 wish to God | could
say yes" Mr. Lloyd George said further:
Is the world tired of force? l wish it
were I see the nations of Europe arm
ing with the weapons that devastated
Europe They signed the covenant of the
league of nations but they are arming.
| don't quite like the looks OF Europe
hobbling on crutches Europe was ready
to sign anything, but today the nations
are using every diabolical ingenuity for
the development of arms The last war
was terrible, but the next war will eclipse
it and might wipe out our civilization.
not join the league of nations, why this
same conclusion. Mr.. Lloyd Georges state
nents echo the thoughts that have been
Americas for some years, ever since, in fact
the developments away from instead of in !
the direction of peace first began shortly al
Ter the signing of the armistice. Europeans
have wondered why the United States did
not join the league of nations; why this
did not undertake to pacify the old
world why, instead, it preferred to mind its
own business by going to work at home.
Mr. Lloyd George, than whom no man in
ali Europe perhaps, is better informed, need
not wonder why America has followed an
other road His statements are sufficient ex-
olanation of the American policy.
