Easton, Pa., can claim a school superintendent whose term of service rivals anything here or abroad, so far as is known. Sixty years in one profession is in itself remarkable enough, but when it is added that Superintendent William W.

FOR THEJHILDREN For Boys Who Play Ball. Professional baseball players play the game for the Jove of the game and because they make their living in that way. So they play it for all it is worth, and their whole waking time is spent in the perfection of the game and In the attempt to make its tine points finer. Realizing this, the college team has all too often “gone the professional one better” in the multiplicity and complications of its signals. Don’t make the same mistake. Don't have too many signals. Don't make them Complicated. Four signs for catcher to pitcher, four signs from pitcher to catcher—that is all you should need to bother with. "Hit!” “The hit and run," “a bunt" (or sacrifice) and "Walt!" between bench and batter—these are sufficient. "Steal!” a signal between the coacher and the runner; "Will hit next ball!" a sign from batter to runner. If you have a simple code for all these things you have plenty for the average lads' game, and if you have them well learned and if you agree to obey signs and stick to it, other things being equal, you will seldom fail to vanquish the other nines in your league or neighborhood. The First Step. A Woodman came into a forest and made a petition to the Trees to provide him a handle for his ax. The Trees, honored by bls civility, acceded to his request and held a consultation to decide which of them should be given to him. Wthont a dissenting voice the choice fell upon the Ash. which It seems is not a favorite among the Trees Some of them were bold enough to say that bad luck went with the Ash nnd that at heart they were not bound to be in sympathy with woodcutters. The Woodman cut down the Tree and fitted the handle to bls nx, then, to the dismay of the Trees, sot to work ; and with strong strokes quickly felled all the noblest giants of the forest. lamenting too late the fate of his companions, an old Oak said to a neigh boring Cedar: “The first step has lost us all. If we had not so willingly given up the ‘ rights of the Ash we might have stood for ages.”

A Dog’« Intelligence. Animals as a rule understand who! their friends are. A Washingtonian tells the story of the dog whose eyes! had been treated by an oculist to his great relief. The trouble returned and the dog's master determined tf' take him to the oculist's a second time. I Film Flam seemed to know where he 1 was going, for on entering the square where the oculist had his office he raced ahead of his master and up the step where he bad been but once before and on the door being opened bolted straight for the treatment room. ■ This time the treatment was a zinc! solution that was very severe and brought the water in streams from the J patient's eyes, but he took It with Ills nose in the air, never wincing, and the! only sign of feeling he made was to hold out one paw pathetically for his master's band. Oddities of Genius. Os the great philosopher Samuel Johnson it is said that the doctor was! remarkable in his school days for his i habit of putting off disagreeable tasks [ for an indefinite period. His extraor-' dinary memory enabled him to easily I perform his tasks when once fairly i started. He greatly enjoyed being car ; ried into school every morning by three ' of his schoolfellows nnd in return for the distinction thus afforded hi tn often helped them very materially with their 5 lessons. He cared little for the usual games, but Invented a winter pastime which always gave him great delight. when he could indulge in it. This was ! to go upon the ice in his bare feet with a rope fastened to ills waist and be dragged about at a high rate of speed by a hilarious group of school fellows.

Old Sailor. Tills game will be fun for the smaller children. They must first “count out” to see which one will be the old sailor. AH then stand In line except the old sailor, who comes limping up and says to the first child: Here comas an old sailor from Baffin bay. What have you got to glvo him today? He may then ask any question he chooses from the players in turn, but if in answering him any player uses the word •‘yes” or “no” or “black” or “white" that one must become old sailor, and the questioner takes bis place in the line. Ths Penny Post. When Rowland 11111 first proposed what was called "the penny post” everybody thought it was a joke, for up to that time it hnd cost 50 cents to send a letter from one end of England to the other. From the very first, however. the postaf system was a success, and now every country in the world has it It is hard to realize that the very first letter which traveled to its destination for 2 cents was mailed in the days of Queen Victoria’s reign—the good queen who died not a great many years ago. ■ 1 Taking Dolly’s Picture, £ Do sit sUU . *i'”T Now, Dolly, please!
