La FERIA. Jan. 12.-Brownsville
girls and boys basketball teams took
a couple Of games from the local
high boys and girls teams yesterday
afternoon on the local court. The
scores were:
Boys-BroWnsville 90. la Feria 10.
charlottesville Is, La Feria !.
The boys game was holly con-
tested throughout, and the score
was in first ono and then another
teams favor until the last minute Of
play when Sylvester Of Brownsville
threw a basket for the victory mar
gin.
The visiting girls team, coached by
Miss Nalenta. displayed a beautiful
o~ffense and defense, and easily out
played the locals.
In direct contrast TO the game Of
several days L between the boys
team OF the two cities. the game Of
yesterday developed into one Of the
hottest contests seen on the local
court in some time. The playing
Of Sigler. forward, for La Feria,
was a bright spot. He threw three
baskets. several of which were diff
ficult and we'll executed. Browns
Vile kept him covered most Of the
time. but he would slip away and
dribblc The ball near the basket, on
occasions.
Coppir. another La Fcria forward,
played an excellent game.
Coach Plato OF the visiting quint
used two teams during the game,
one OF which. the starting lineup,
looked good ut times. playing a man
TO msn defense. but the La Feria
team took advantage Of this new
style Of play OF Brownsville, and
soon began darting hither and thith-
er owe the court, shooting at the
basket.
The other lineup, with Sylvester
the leading scorer. was sent in by
Plato after the first quarter, and
scored several times.
Ability to guard at critical times
proved the difference between de-
feat end loss for the visiting eleven.
Clarence Bennett. Robert Loagoria.
Dan Barnhart. Weller. Perez and

visiting quint.

Troops Dig Trenches.
On the Siberian border there are only
He'll I'm Kiang men so far. Most Of the
Mukden troops arriving here are sent
eastward to Hardin and from there
probably to Suifenho or Pograichoaya,
on the Far Eastern Siberian line. These
troops are armed principally with rifles,
pistols, machine guns and trench NOR
tars. The cold weather forces them to
wear sheepskins Contrary to the habit
and tradition of the Chinese, they are
digging in for resistance.
The trenches at ManchuN stretch
along the crest of the hills overlooking
the terrain across which the enemy
must advance, without a tree or bush

something fresh in the noble episode
| line.
/ The celebrated authors enthusiasm,
| indeed, took chill. Still, he could not
bear to repulse this struggling young
author, who chung to him with such
pretty simplicity and trustfulness.
Well. the upshot of it all was that
the celebrated author presently found
himself permanently freighted with the
poor young beginner. All his mild
efforts to unload his cargo went for
nothing. He had to give daily coun-
sci, daily encouragement: he had to
keep on procuring magazine &C
ceptances, and then revamping the
manuscripts to make them presentable.
When the young aspirant got q start
at last, he rode into sudden fame by
describing the celebrated authors pri-
vate life with such a caustic humor
and such minutenesS of bliStering de-
tail that the book sold a prodigious
edition, and broke the celebrated
authors heart with modification.
With the celebrated authors last
gasp, he said; Alas, the books deceived
me; they do not tell the whole story.
Beware OF the struggling young author,
my friends Whom God sees At to
starve, let not man presumptuously
rescue to his own undoing."
Which concludes the story Of 1.-THE
Benevolent Author" and the authentic
sequel.
Not being a clergyman, I place my
text at the end Of my sermon instead
Mr.. Noah Brooks "RecollectionS Of
President Lincoln"
AN actor, in his part of Falstaff,
gave Mr.. Lincoln great delight. With
his usual desire to signify to others his
sense of obligation, Mr.. Lincoln wrote
genial little note, expressing his
pleasure at witnessing his performance.
1.-THE actor, in reply, sent a book Of
some sort: perhaps 1t was one Of his
own authorship. He also wrote several
notes to the President One night,
out OF my mind, went to the White
House in answer to q message. Pass
ing into the Presidents Office, I no
ticed, to my surprise, the actor sitting
in the anteroom as If waiting for an
audience.
"The President asked me il any one
was outside. On being told, he said,
half sadly, oh, can't see him; can't
see him; was in hopes he had gone
away.
"Then he added. Now this Just IL
Illustrates the difficulty of having pleas
ant friends and acquaintance in this
place. You know how I liked him as
an actor, and how wrote to tell him
so. He sent me that book, and there
thought the matter would end. He
is master of his place in the profess
sion, suppose, and well fixed in It.;
but just because we had little friendly
correspondence, such as any two men
might have, he wants something. What
do you suppose he wantS?'
IT could not guess, and Mr.. Lincoln
added, Well, he wants to be consul to
London. Oh, dearl'"
All the readers of this fable, and my
comments on it, have in some sweet
and gushing period Of their lives played
the role of Magnanimous-I Incident
hero. I wish knew how many there
are among them who are willing to
talk about that episode and like to be
reminded of the consequences that
flowed from It,

Managing Bank Accounts.

Today it is not uncommon to find
women with two kinds Of bank ac-
counts. One Is savings and the other
a checking account. The idea Of this
method Of banking is to have as few
idle dollars as one possibly can.
In a number of cities the interest
paid on checking accounts is limited to
2 per cent. A few banks only pay that
amount Of interest on accounts above
$500, or $1,000. or more, depending on
the particular bank.
On the other hand, women are faced
with the prospect Of paying monthly
charge when their accounts fall below
a fixed minimum during any month.
When one begins to pay from 81 tc
IS a month for o checking account. she
regards its expense with some concern
She may, indeed, question the value OF
the account.
The woman who handles her own
money should shop for q bank just as
she should shop for anything else
Some banks welcome the small de-
positor and others do not. There Is
one large Eastern bank, for example
