Last week the "Scamps" went down to a 14 to 7 defeat at the hands of this same team, but yesterday they came back in great form and pressed the "Bingos" hard all through the game.

Is not this true happiness, to be doing good to others and to be getting good from them in return? One cannot imagine an organ-grinder to be a scamp. Take the blackest scoundrel and let him go out into the country and grind a barrel-organ for ten days, and at the end of that time, what with the circle of delighted faces constantly around him and the humanizing effect of so much music, he will have recovered all the innocence...
