FOR THE CHILDREN For Boys Who Play Ball. Professional baseball players play the game for the love 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 tollege team has all too often “gone the professional one better" in the multiplicity and compli cations of its signals. Don't make the same mistake. Don't I 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" I (or sacrifice) nnd “Wait!" between. bench and batter—these are sntHclent. J “Steal!” a signal between the coach ■ er 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 fall to vanquish the other nines in your league or neighborhood. The First Step. A Woodman came into a forest nnd made a petition to the Trees to pro vide him a handle for his ax. The Trees, honored by his civility.' acceded to his request nnd held a consultation to decide which of them should be giveu to him. Wthout 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 Inck went with the Ash and that at heart they were not bound to be in sympathy with woodcutters. The Woodman cut down the Tree and fitted the handle to his ax. then to the dismay of the Trees, set 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. It we bad not so willingly given up th» 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 tr take him to the oculist's a second time Film Flam seemed to know where he was going, for on entering the squart where the oculist had bls office hi raced ahead of his master and up the . step where he had 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 . patient’s eyes, but be took It with Ids nose in the air, never wincing, nnd tin only sign of feeling be made was t< hold out one paw pathetically for his 1 master's band. < Odditis* of Genius. Os the great philosopher Samuel ( , Johnson it is said that the doctor was remarkable in his school days for hh habit of putting off disagreeable tasks 1 for an indefinite period. His extraor 1 dinary memory enabled him to easily 1 perform his tasks when once fairly J started. He greatly enjoyed being car ( tied into school every morning by threi of hia schoolfellows and in return fol the distinction thus afforded him often 1 helped them very materially with theii * lessons. He cared little for the usual games, but Invented a winter pastinn < which always gave him great delight t When he could Indulge in it. This was < to go upon the ice in his bare feet with a rope fastened to bis waist and be dragged about at a high rate of speed f by a hilarious group of school fellows. ’ i Old Sailor. C This game will be fun for the small c or children. They must first “count r out” to see which one will be the old c sailor. All then stand in line except the old sailor, who comes limping up nnd says to the first child: Here comes an old sailor from Baffin bay S What have you got to give him today? 1 He may then ask any question he ii chooses from the players in turn, but c if in answering him any player uses „ the word "yes” or "no" or “black" h or "white” that one must become old sailor, and the questioner takes bls " place in the line. 1 e The Penny Post. C When Rowland Hill first proposed c what was called "the penny post” ev-. i erybody thought it was a joke, for up to that time it had cost 50 cents to send ' a letter from one end of England to 1 the other. From the very first, however, the postal system was a success, and now every country in the world < has it. It is hard to realize that the 1 veyy first letter which traveled to It- ; destination for 2 lents was mailed in , the days of Queen Victoria's reignthe good queen who died not a gr »u many years ago. 1 _____________ 1 Tjr > Taking Dolly’* Picture, ~y~ Do alt still JPKK- Now, Dolly, plea**! jkCTT Do not fidget!
