"Well, Mr. ChrlBtmas Candle Pink-

The first day there were exactly
thirty-four men at practice, and when
the three eleveus lined up for signal
pmctlce, Plnkham fouud himself the
oae left over. But he trotted along
beside the coach, without the least
sign of annoyance, looking up at him
leriously and listening attentively to
what he said. The coach put him In
it end for the last five minutes of
formation work.
When It was over, he had all the
tandidateg run from one end of the
Held to the other. Little Plnkham
finished sixth. "Hello!" said the
coach. "You can run, can't you?"
"Yes, sir," Bald Plnkham.
The next day was rainy, and only
about twenty boys came out. One
of them was Plnkham.
"Hello, Candle!" said Tommy Hor-
ton, the halfback, winking to big
Sloan, the centre. "Aren't you afraid
the raln'll melt you?"
"No, sir," answered Plnkham.
After a moment he smiled, a shy,
embarrassed Etnlle. "I guess that was
i joke, wasn't it?" he said. Sloan
and Horton doubled themselves up
with laughter. After that every one
called him "Candle" Plnkham.
He appeared on the Held every day,
rain or shine. Football was his pas
sion. When he got alchance in the
scrimmage, which he soon did, he
(bowed that his size was not alto
gether a disadvantage, for he could
wriggle through a hole that nobody
else on the squad could find, and he
was a very diillcult person to dodge.
Ia two weeks he was playing end on
tbe "scrub," and was the proudest
toy In Valleyside.
There's one thine about you. Can

"Why, don't you think It's fun.

Valleyside had excellent prospects
that year. Sloan, the centre; Jimmy
Edwards, the quarterback and cap
tain, and Ho'-ton, the left half, were
11 remarkable players, and th,e rest
of the eleven were at least average,
a tne exception of the right end.
Atter thres weeks the make-up of the
team had been practically settled,
Te for that end position. After the
Mountfort game, Edwards and the
' toach were talking it over.
"There's Just one man In Valley
ide who could make eond thnr. I'm
Perfectly sure," said Edwards. "That's
abb. But he won't come out, con
tound him! You know h nlaved for

"Plnkham, you take right end!'
The boy actually jumped.
"What, sir I?" he said.
"Hurry up!" answered the coach.
And Plnkbam'g eyes shone like tho
candles he was named for as he
trotted to his place.
The game that week was with
NeokaT The field was wet and the
ball slippery. The first .time Tommy
Horton was given the ball, he
squeezed it out of his arms before he
was fairly Btarted.
There was a wild scramble. When
the players of both sides were un
tangled, at the bottom was Candle
Plnkham, the ball hugged tight to
his stomach. Valleyside made three
mora fumbles in the first ten minutes,
and In two out of the three little
Plnkham saved the ball. Then Val
leyside braced and scored.
" 'Rah, 'rah, 'rah, Horton!" yelled
the crowd; and then, after a moment,
" 'Rah, 'rah, "rah, Plnkham!" Through
the dirt on his face the boy's embar
rassed smile made its way.
Neoka kicked off, and the running
and smashing began again. So, also,
did the fumbling. At last Valleyslde's
right half got the ball, circled .the op
posing end, but was caught by the de
fensive halfback; and as ho was
tackled the ball flew high and wide.
Plnkham, racing behind, caught It
on a lucky bound, and pushed on; but
the opposing fullback tackled him
squarely, and down they went in a
heap, Noakas captain and right
tackle, a boy weighing a hundred and
seventy pounds, came up, and just as
.the referee's whistle blew, hurled
himself f n-tly upon Plnkham and
coach. "I'm I'm too light. ' His
eyes were full of tenrs.
"Nonsense!" said tho coach. "You
played a good game, Plnkham. Don't
you frot. I wish you were twenty or
.thirty pounds heavier, but you did
your level best, and that's all any
body can do."
"I'm too light!" repeated Plnkham,
mournfully.
"It's perfectly true," said the coach
afterward to Edwards. "He Is too
light. I'm afraid Rockvllle - will
smash things up round his end. What
do you say we play Horton with him
on .that side of the line?"
"It wouldn't do," said Edwards.
"It would only weaken the other end
and throw Tommy all off."
"Well, anyway," said the coach,
"Plnkham keeps end that's settled.
He's the best man that's played there,
In spite of his weight, and he's a
dandy Uttle sportsman, besides."
"He's all that," admitted the cap
tain. "But I wish .that man Babb
would come out!"
"Why don't you make one more
try?" asked tho conch.
"I think I will," Bald Edwards.
Early on Monday afternoon he
went to Babb's room.
"Look here, Bnbb," he said, "I'm
no beggar, but I've got something to
say to you." He outlined the situa
tion, and ended, "Now the school
needs you; will you como out?"
Babb, a tall, dark, quiet young fel
low, listened In silence. When Ed
wards had finished, he answered:
"To tell the truth, Edwards, I've
been thinking the thing over, and I
guess I was wrong. Yes, I'll come
out."
"Good!" said Edwards. "To-day?"
"To-day, certainly. When I make
up my mind, I make it up."
The captain, overjoyed, hastened to
And the coach. On the way one
thought troubled him a little the
recollection that when Babb came
on, little Candle Plnkham must be
dropped.
"It's tor confoundedly. bad," agreed
the coacb. "I never coached any boy
I liked more than .that little chap.
But if Bi.bb makes good, it's got to be
done, and he'll be the first to see It."
"Yes, that's true," said Edwards.
Babb came out, and little Plnkham
retired to the scrub, where he played
as faithfully and apparently with as
much enjoyment as on the first
eleven, tn three weeks more came
the great game with Rockvllle, and
Valleyside won. Babb was every

taken from the current number of

Girl Invented the Penwiper,
It Is said that the ingenious, young
woman who invented the frilly doll
penwipers has made money out of her
idea.
A clothespin Is the nucleus of each
penwiper. With this as the anatom
ical frame she produces brides,
actresses, nuns, nurses ladles, In
short, of every degree. In order to
conceal the clothespin extremities,
long skirts in sumptuous folds char
acterize tile gowns of Miss Penwiper;
and the banker, the lawyer and au
thor wipe their pens on her petticoats.
According to Brooklyn Life, the
fame of these ladles has spread, and
now their Inventor has a partner and
a factory.

who came along and taught every branch of education by
singing. He taught geography by singing, and to combine
accuracy of memory with patriotism, he taught the multipli
cation table to the tune of Yankee Doodle. This worked very
well as an aid to the memory in school, but when the boys'
went into business it often led to inconvenience. When a
boy got a situation in a grocery store and customers were
waiting for their change, he could never tell the product of
two numbers without commencing at the beginning of the
table and singing up until he had reached those numbers.
In case the customer's ears had not received a proper musical
training, this practice often injured the business of the
store. Horace Porter. Speech at dinner of the New Eng

"I didn't hear it."said Plnkham,

Plnkham explained again, in his shy,'
serious, embarrassed fashion.

called to the umpire. "'Here, Dick,

Can llutton Own Waist.
Marvelous as It may seem, a young
woman has discovered a way of
fastening a waist up tho back without
calling for assistance. Though not
lacking In generosity, in recent trav
els she got so tired of the outstretched
palm of the chambermaids that she
felt It' was time to guard her pocket.
She discovered that if she put a
blouse on hind side before, with the
sleeves hanging free, it could be
fastened from top to bottom, with
the exception ot the books at the
neck, and then turned around and the
arms slipped Into the sleeves without
unduly straining the fastenings. So
simple! Strange that no one hud
thought of it before. Or Is it possi
ble other women have used the plan
and meanly have kept . U to them
selves? Will tbe waist that fastens

It into a dish and fill the frame with
a souffle made as follows: Stew five
apples, sweetening and flavoring them
with a little cinnamon or clove. Bear,
tho yolks of three eggs with an ounce
and a half of butter and mix them
with the apples. Set on the fire for
a few minutes In order to mix well
together. Let the mixture then stand
in a basin for a short while, add the
whites of three eggs beaten to a stiff
froth, and mix all together. Fill the
rlco frame with this and bake till a
golden brown.
This makes a simple, old-fashioned
dish which is both tempting and
wholesome. Pare, core and quarter
some apples overnight and place them
in a fruit casserole with half a pound
of sugar which has been previously
dissolved in a teacupful of water. Let
them get well heated, then draw the
casserole to the side of the stove,
taking care that the lid fits closely.
Leave all night and the apples will
be quite tender In the morning.
