THE BASKETBALL SITUATION
? AMONG THE GIRLS.
By Maude Haslett.
If the glt-ls in Mr. Telford's room,
aside from the graduating class, are
going to play basketball why don't they
get together and organ lio their team?
If all the girls of the high school grade
would enter into the game with any
life, thsy could have a very good team;
- i
but some of them do not care about it,
or lack spirit? at any rate they are,
doing nothing to form a team. But if
the high school girls as a grade will do
nothing, a very good tojm c.n be picked
from those willing to play, and the
seveath graders. Anything la better
than the situation as it is now.
At present when we p'ay and one of
)ur players is absent, we take anybody
sre can get ? whether she be large or
ioaU. a good player or a poor one.
Eren worse, when one of the '08 girls
Is absent, they tako one of the seventh
graders, and we hare anothtr player
missing.
What are we going to do? (five up
entirely the Idea of a team, or organize
a team, or let matters stand as they do
now?
WIFELY ORDERS.
pTwo Men Obeyed Them, but the Third
Man Balked.
"Three men sat rather late at the
clab one night," Bald the man who is
responsible for the story. "As they
were separating they discussed a little
nervously the receptions that awulted
them at their wives' hanflu and agreed
that he who didn't do what his wife
told him on getting home should have
to treat the othore to a tiirkey dinner.
The first man after reaching his houso
?tumbled about the dark bedroom till
he kicked the cat. Tho cat squalled,
and the man's wife, raising her head
from tho pillow, moaned, 'Well, go on;
kill tho poor cat and have ilonf with
It' The man frowned and muttered to
himself, 'It Is a case of kill the cat or
pay for the dinner.' So ho killed the
cat
"The second man on his arrival could
not find any matches. As he looked
for some In the drawing room he
bumped against tho piano, and his
wrlfe complained, 'Why don't ycu
break the piano, careless?* Determined
not to lose his - bet, tho man got a
hatchet, and the sound of crashing
Mows soon filled the houso.
"The third man, getting home, stum
bled on tho way npstalrs. His wife
?creamed angrily, "Go on, fall down
stairs and break yonr neck, do!' 'Not
me.' said the third man after a mo
ment's thought. 'I'll pay for the turkey
dinner.' "?Chicago News.
A Merchant's Memory.
Among the characterlstlKi which
made for the success of Mr. A. T.
Stewart, the great New York mer
chant, says Richard Lathers in fcls
"Remlniscenccs," was an extraordina
ry memory for the details of his vast
buslnem.
One day as Mr. and Mrs. Lathers
were leaving the store Mr. Stewart ac
costed them at the door.
"I hope. Mrs. Lathers, you tyive
found what you want," he Bald.
"No, Mr. Stewart," she replied. "I
want a very plain bru steels carpet for
a small library, a light color with a
small blue figure. You have a great
variety, bnt nothing just like that."
"I am quite Bure we have that exact
description, " he said, and, turning to
a clerk, added: "Go to the third floor
and get out from the last Invoice of
carpets No. 2206. I think tho style
and pattern will Just suit Mrs. Lath
ers."
To the amazement of the shopper
It proved to be the very thing she was
looking for.
Consider the Birda of the Air.
An eminent ornithologist calls atten
tion to the fact that a crane can travel
through the air a thousand miles a
day without flapping Its wings, bu ' by
merely keeping them stretched and nd
Justed to tho prevailing breezes. A
hawk can stay In the air for days and
weeks, moving with Its wings motion
less. It is the same with the gulls and
numerous other winged creatures. In
studying the science of aerostatics con
sider tho birds of the air.? Iioston Her
