A PRACTICAL CHRISTMAS GIFT
The December Woman's Home
Companion has an interesting Christ
mas anecdote. Thfe writer says:
"Last year, just before Christmas,
one of my sisters said to me, 'I want
to give Mother some silk for a waist
this year, but I don't know whether
she would rather have black or laven
der, and it spoils all the fun, asking.'
'I know it,' I replied. 'I had decided
on a school umbrella for Mary and I
don't know whether the child pre
fers a straight handle or one with a
crcok.'
"As you see, we were a family who
gave one another practical presents.
She and I talked it over and we hit i
upon the cleverest plan. Instead of
having our gifts before breakfast in
the library as usual on Christmas <
morning, we had a little tree about I
two feet high on the table, hung and !
piled about with tiny packages. !
Mother's waist was cut from a fashion |
magazine and, with three one-dollar !
bills, wrapped in a small jewelry box,
Mary's umbrella was made from a
toothpick and a dollar . bill. Father
gave me a tiny doll's muff in a pill
box with a ten-dollar bill inside, and j
he gave Mother a bright-colored rug
cut from a magazine, just the size j
of a ten-dollar bill, which was pasted
lightly to tho back. The whole thing
was rolled on a stick. It was great
fun, and when the holiday rush was 1
over we did our Christmas shopping, |
and none of the surprise had been
taken away by asking every one what
she would rather have."

TUESDAY EVENING,
FRENCH GET BASEBALL
IN THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE
Baseball has been translated into
the French In order to remove one of
the obstacles to further popularity of
the Rame among French speaking
people. The faculty of Assumption
College at Worcester, Mass., has
drawn up a manual of play in that
language. It presents baseball in
terms scarcely recognizable to most of
the followers of the nation's pastime.
The pitcher is a "lanceur," the
catcher a "receveur." At shortstop,
a player under the Assumptionist fac
ulty's designation, would be a "blo
quer." Other places in the line-up are
indicated in the manual in this man
ner: First base, "premier but"; sec
ond base, "secondienne but"; third
base, "trolsenne but"; right field, "vol
tiguer a droite"; center field, "volti
geur au centre"; left field, "voltigeur
a gauche." The coach is termed
"agasseur."
ONEROUS DUTIES PART
A glance at three of the city's troopers along the Mexican border will
remind prospective soldiers that army life isn't exactly all roses, for it
doesn't excuse you from such commonplace duties as the washing of that
one extra shirt.. It reminds you that you will never get away from tho
onerous duties of existence, though you go two thousand miles across the
continent.

HARRISBURG TELEGtIAPH
In announcing the result of its
work, the faculty of Assumption Col
lege stated that while the game was
already popular among tho students
of the French speaking colleges in
this country and Canada, it fell short
of the interest and support of facul
ties of those institutions to which it
was entitled, largely because of diffi
culties of the teachers in becoming
familiar with the terms of the game.
It was to bring the language of base
ball within reach of strange ears that
the manual was devised, the an
nouncement said.
Thosewho drew up the manual were
assisted by a member of the faculty
who had seen baseball played behind
the battle lines in France, and so
made observation of the phrases used
by French soldiers to describe players
and position in the game.

of 163 out of 200. He was tied by H.
S. Flowers, but was given the prize
because of his score of 73 in the skir
