DIDN'T LASTLONQ ENOUGH
Possibly the "Woman In tha Sky”
Didn’t Um a Rsslly Good
Kind of Paathar
Two little tola wore atlll trying out
Clirlktnma sleds although It wua a
week or more after the holUluy and
the short hill down which they were
counting wiih entirely devoid of enow
In spots They would Hilda along for
a few feet until they ennie to a hure
aiiot drag their sleds over the barren
place to the next patch of hiiow and
repeat
"Where does the snow come from?"
the snmller of tho two children a boy
of nhout four suddenly nuked
“My mother says It Is some womnn
way up In the sky shaking her pillows
until tho feutliers fall out” was the
naive reply of his companion
“Well" eSelnlmed the boy nfter a
thoughtful pause “I wish her feathers
wouldn't melt"
It You Nead a Medicine
You Should Hava tho Best
Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain— the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer This
applies more particularly to a medicine
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need of it
A prominent druggist says “Take for
example Ur Kilmer’s Swamp-Root
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
sults as many of my customers testify
No other kidney remedy has so large a
ale”
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation the success of Dr
Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is due to the fact
so many people claim that it fulfills al-
most every wish in overcoming kidney
liver and bladder ailments corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism
You may receive a sample bottle of
Bwamp-Root by Parcels Post Address

less physic for the little stomach liver

Not Exactly Trade
Nathan’s father has a grocery store
and he hears much about business
conditions at home Naturally his con-
versation is much about It also The
other day his mother took him to the
doctor They sat In the waiting room
and waited their turn while several
patients preceded them' Into the inner
office
Finally their turn came and they
were ushered In to the doctor Nathan
eyed him a minute Then he spoke
“You do have a good trade here" he
said "There’s a lot more customers
still out In that little room out there”
Boosting Business
“Yes my rich wife gives me $5
Akhenever I give her a kiss" “Well
milver a cargo and let’s go to the
races”
The fable of the tortoise and the
hare tenches us that perseverance

who play water polo Motor enthusi-
asts speed after the elusive bull In
wild uuto polo games Major colleges
this year are taking on polo ns n
varsity sport Varsity hockey teams
liuve been ploying In the north fur
ninny years
The old “shinny” thrill of boyhood
Is hrenklng out In vnrlous forms among
older athletes who seek new wuys for
exercise of skill In exciting worth
while contests
Freshest Outbreak
Its freshest outbreak Is bicycle polo
It’s a regular sport — bicycle polo It
Is nothing but youthful “shinny" with
easy for the defending team to pine
their wheels III sueh a position as to
hlis'k the entire space between goal
hihis When a goal la made from
within six yards the goal tender nmy
get off Ida wheel to hit (her hull lido
play again (ion I tenders must hs
mounted however when blocking any
play
When any rider fulls from Ills wln-i-l
or plm-es Ids foot on tho ground he
cannot hit the hull until another play-
er of either team has hit It Mullets
cannot ho swung over the bend while
other players urs near tho hall
Tho Quaker City players began by
hanging the hull with all their might
But they soon found tills method prof-
ited nothing and they liuve Is-come pro-
ficient In nosing the ball along with
their mnllels In stealing It from each
other and In passing it to a team-mate
when nil opponent threatened much
the mime ns In hockey
In Kurnx the game Is becoming
popular hilt they play It there without
mullets kicking the hall or bumping
It iilong with their wheels
In I'lilhidelpliln they are playing
bicycle polo out of doors and on ar-
mory liners Wooden lloors give o-
port unity for greater 'speed "hump-
ing'' n wheel uloiig and “stunt” riding
All of this adds to the thrill fur player
and spectator

Pinned Under One Bicycle the Ball

Who Is Feeling for It With Hie
Mallet
the players mounted on bicycles Polo
soccer lacrosse hockey — all of them
bear the same family resemblnnce
Besides being exciting and clean
typical American sports must permit
leeway enough for development of In-
dividual skill even to the point of pro-
fessional practice and yet must be
so simple that any back-lot gang of
youngsters can play them There
isn’t a man In the country who does
not know how true this is of footbull
and baseball
It Is Just as true of bicycle polo
Everybody rides a bicycle But some
ride better thunthers And bicycle
polo is being developed to a stage
where even the most experienced rider
needs all tlie skill that he has Yet
the hack-lot boys are playing it too
Collisions are more frequent among
the latter But crashes are ns harm-
less generally as they are thrilling It
Is the continual danj&r of a crash and
the rfklll that must be exercised to
avoid them during pursuit of the ball
that gives bicycle polo the xest that Is
so essential to a popular American
game
Here Is the way members of the
Quaker City Cycling association In
Philadelphia are playing It
Just as In “shinny” the to teams
of five players each line up at oppo-
te ends of the held or floor If played
armory or gymnasium with the
the center of the field Play
begins with the blowing of the refer-
ee's whistle The game otherwise Is
played as soccer
Playing Paraphernalia
The ball Is Inflated anil about one-
fifth the size of a basketball Each
player carries a mallet similar to a
polo stick hut with a shorter handle
Players may use their sticks to sup-
port themselves -on their wheel
while at a standstill Goal posts are
from 20 to 30 feet apart and goals
are reversed for the second perloiL
Two halves of 30 minutes each are
played
Scoring Is by points Fifteen points
are given each goal If any rider
places his foot on the ground while
the hall is In play he Is fined one
point which goes to the credit of the
opposing team A fine of fiv points
Is Imposed on the team whose player
bits the ball while he Is dismounted
There Is one exception to this rule
When a goal Is made from within six
yards of the goal line It Is not scored
It was found neeeasary to establish
this six-yard line because in a scrim-
mage does t the goal it wonU be too
