"How about fouls?" asked Ted.
"A foul is as good as a fair ball in this
game; only the wood-shed is on the pitcher's
side, remember."
"Sounds more like cricket than like
baseball," objected Jimmy, who had read
books on games and was well posted,
"but I think I'd like to try it."
"You may call it wood-shed cricket, if
you like," answered Uncle Joe, his eyes
twinkling.
He returned to his writing, and was interrupted
no more that morning. But two
hot and red-faced nephews met him at
luncheon.
"How did it go?" he asked.
"I'm ahead!" cried Jimmy. "Five runs."
"He's got sixty-two, and I've got only'
fifty-seven," said Ted, soberly. "But we're
going to play all afternoon, and I wager
I beat him!- When is the game over, Uncle
Joe?"
"Not until the wood-shed is tired," said
Uncle Joe, again with the twinkle in his
eyes.?J. W. Linn, in the Lutheran.
FORGETTING TO THANK MOTHER.
Of course, you boys and girls are not
the kind who forget to say, "Thank you,"
when any one does you a favor. When
you were very small, before you could so
much as talk plainly papa and mamma
taught you these two little words, and
ever since you have been careful about
using them at the right time.
There are a good many people who are
careful to say "Thank you" when somebody
passes them the bread at dinner or
lends them a book to read, but who receive
other and greater kindnesses without
saying a word. "Where are my . rubbers?"
cries Jack, as he is about to start
to school some rainy morning. "Oh. dear!
I wish folks would let my rubbers alone!"
"Here they are, Jack," mamma says
Muii-my, as me suuna 01 iue linpaueni
voice comes to her ears. "I set them beside
the register to have them get nice
and warm." And perhaps Jack says, "Oh,"
and perhaps he says nothing at all. It
is not likely that he says "Thank you."
We fear his mother is used to It, however.
Most mothers are.
How many boys and girls think of saying
"Thank you" for the hours mother
spends mending their torn clothes, or for
her care of them when they are sick, or
for any of the little sacrifices she is making
all the time? If they want any help on
meir lessons, mother gives it as a matter
of course, and they usually forget it is
anything for which to thank her. They
I take it for granted that whatever they
' want, mother will give them, if she possibly
can. And so she will, but her willingness
and her love and her unselfishness
are no excuse for their being ungrateful
and discourteous.

k you" whenever mother does you a kind

learn how many chances there are in a
I day to use those two little words. And
B you will be even more surprised to see
I "how much it means to mother that you
do not forget them.?Exchange.
