follows :
Ktii'.ning. throwing, hlttin? mid
kicking are the fundamental niusei:-
ar operation! of America's charac
teristic sports, baseball, football, ten
uis and golf. The peoples of antiquity
maniresled all those instincts in cruder
form.
Luzon hillmen, the Polynesians
and the Kskimo and Sumatra islanders
had games played by kicking a ball
Greeks played it, and llie Itouian
game, hinpastmn. derived its name
from the Greek '1 seixe,' which is evi
dence that carrying the ball was prac
ticed by them. With shoes of hide, the
medieval Italians played a game which
seems the direct ancestor of the Anglo-
Stxon college sport. (Saelio scholars
point to a football game in Ireland be
fore the time of Christ, and until com
pavatively recent times Shrove Tues
day was as distinctively an ocVasion
for football as is our Thanksgiving to
day,
In old England football was even
rougher than most spurts of those
har.iy times. James I thought it was
'iiieeter for lameing than making able
theusers thereof." Henry VIII and
r'is-abelh ruled against it. , lOdwnril
II frowned upon it for its interfer
ence with archery and also because
of the commotion it caused.- In
t'.iose times it was played In the city
streets. A writer of the sixteenth
century called it a 'devilish pastime'
ami charged it with inciting envy
and sometimes brawling, murther and
ho.nicide.'
"Nevei-ilii'less, by the time
of
'liarles II football had become fairly
inblished at Cambridge. It va
t'tr held In high esteem In Irelmn1

AD MET HIS KIND BEFORE
Uncle Joe" Cannon's Withering Re
buke of Lobbyist Who Thought
to Make "Bluff" Good.
Joseph Guernsey Cannon, more af
fectionately known throughout the
nutli mid breadth of the land as
I.'ncle Joe," Is nearing his eight y-
fourili birthday. He loves, his fi liov-
miin and is oue of the most affable
members of congress toward stran-
Ts. But Uncle Joe lintes "boun-
devs" and lobbyists and is still young
and vigorous enough to resent their
attempts at familiarity, says the Wash
ington Star.

with legislative axes to grind whom
he was endeavoring to impress with
his own Importance around the capitol.
one of the well-known lobbyists held
up "Uncle Joe" near the cignr coun
ter In the house restaurant. "Uelio.
Uncle Joe!" be exclaimed. "Haven't
seen you for some days. You sure are
looking. fine. Won't you have a cignr
with us one of your old favorites?"
Then the Cold, steady, steely look in
Uncle Joe's eyes gave him a warning.
He tried to bluff it off.
Why. Uncle Joe, you don't seem to
remember me."
Hut lie reckoned without his host
you justt'an't bluff Uncle Joe. lie has
played the great American indoor
game too long for (hat. With shoul
ders thrown back, arms stiffened at
his side, eyes piercing the presuming
acquaintance, he raised himself on his
toes. leaning closer and daringly to
ward the face of the other, and said :
"No, 1 don't remember you. Why. If
when you get to (he pearly gates yon
don't look more familiar to SI. Peter
than you do now to mo. he'll say to

ORIGIN OF "DICKENS NAMES"
Pursuit Long a Favorite Amusement
. of the Admirers of Writer of
Immortal Fiction.
One of the most Interesting of Rptnl
Ilterary hobbles Is the search after
the origin nf "Dickons names." It Is
specially interesting, no doubt, because
nobody can prove to demonstration
that his particular "solution" Is the
correct one, . and, us a consequence,
the long list of potential discoveries
is seldom reduced, much less exhaust
ed. One of the latest "strikes" Is a
possible origin for the old favorite,
"Chadbmid." A recent writer tells bow',
a few years ago, In one of the small
hamlets between - Sutton and Upsom,
there stood a small tailor's shop hear
ing In large letters the name of "Child-
baud." And he goes on to wonder
whether Ulckens, "going down by road
Dork lug, noticed the name, and kept
it for fntnre use," for on that route
he . would have passed the very door
of the shop. The writer seems to think
it highly likely: while. In proof that
Dickens actually made the journey,
was It not In the , town, of Dorking
that there stood the' Marquis of Gran
by? And was it not the hostes of
the Marquis of Granliy who ultimate
