HUNTER MAID. A roe-buck, proud and happy in his strength One summer eve came down the mountain's side. He met a maiden in the twilights' path— And received an arrow in his tawny hide. Frightened, he stopped, then wild and crazed with pain, Plunged into the thicket and the brush; Hoping to lose the arrow in the cane— Instead, he pushed it deeper with each rush. Pushed it until it pierced his pulsing heart, And oh! his life's blood mingled with the dew. The night was last, the stricken buck was I. And dearest, that fair hunter-maid was you. A. V. Hall.

The Porters' and Waiters' Club rooms are renovated and there are many features added. Pres. Shull is a progressive club-man who does things—for the best interest of the members. Mr. Julius Dungue, our young headwaiter, still "makes good" at the Trask, Café, and there is not much noise to him. They say that he is the "easy boss": Well—The boys like him. WEST HOTEL. That "Union question" during the Typographical Union Convention is being passed over. Mr. Geo. Holbert, the business agent of the waiters' local must explain. He said that he would. We will hand down decisions later—which will help the Craft, and kill the graft. Something is wrong, and the waiters want an explanation. Special Mention. The "noise is around" that the colored waiters will replace the whites at the Rogers Hotel in our city. It is due the, and they will make good. The position of waiter is due more respect than it receives. The waiters in any place are the salesmen, and their ways of handling their customers and displaying their goods is generally effective. Therefore good service produces good business and a good living for a waiter. Act your part well, you may be serving an unknown boniface, who may, after your service, employ a great number of our people. Sent your notes to the "Star" office. Rogers Succeeds Owens. J. E. Rogers, proprietor of the Rogers hotel, succeeds C. J. Owens former manager of the Radisson, as Minnesota vice president of the Hotel Managers Mutual Benevolent association. This action was taken yesterday at a meeting of the directors in Chicago. That "malt decision" may hurt the hotel boys—but not as badly as local option. See next week's notes on the colored waiters' union. Barney Oldfield, the auto racer says, "He'll race Jack Johnson. He does not bar color and wants the money. Well "Archie" said so. Mr. Johnson has been offered $75,000 for a nine months' tour of England. It may seem but a trifle to him, but this nation has employed some high-grade presidents for less.—Chicago Dally News. The press of the Twin Cities did justice to Gans, and we feel that he deserved the good things said about him. Well, Joe was at all times a man and his dealings with Al. Herford was the one blot on his history. Yet he "over came evil with good, and lived to reach home to realize his last request: "to see mammy and the children. He died as he lived—a man. His Last Request. "I know I'm going home to die," Gans is quoted as saying, "but I want to see my old mother and the two children before the end comes. My last two fights left me in too weak a condition to prevent consumption." The Star Phone, N. W. 3515 Main BARRON WILKINS STILL OPEN. Judge Hendrix of the Supreme Court of N. Y. handed down a decision, granting a stay of proceedings in the Excise License Case, against "Wilkins's Café" until Oct. 1st. This means that he will be open until then. The Last Champion. Mr. Jack Johnson is not so white as some other champion prize fighters, but so far as reported he has exceeded the most of them in dignity and modesty. He has given out no boastful interviews and made no spectacular display. He did not lose his nerve before the fight and has not lost his head after it. His opponent repeatedly stated that he undertook this contest for the purpose of vindicating the white race. The white race in the United States is not without prejudice, and the victor might easily have stirred up a bitter feeling in the social class that is most interested in this rude sport had he uttered a few notes of exultation on behalf of his own order. On the other hand, he might have been led to hold his head above his own people and seek to associate only with sporting white people. The champion appears to be avoiding these things. He accepts demonstrations of welcome from his own folks without saying or doing anything foolish. If he shall have grace to continue in this way and if this shall indeed prove to be the last great prize fight it may, perhaps, be said that nothing has become that institution better than the end of it. Vancouver News Advertiser. New Negro Political Movement National Anti-Jim Crow Car Law Five Pledges for Candidates. (New York Sun, Aug. 7, 1910.) Atlantic City, Aug. 6—Severe criticisms of the country in general and of the Republican and Democratic parties made here today at the convention of the National Independent Political League. The organization consists of Negroes and has branches in 23 state, 20 of which were represented at the convention. In all there were 50 delegates. The most bitter denunciation was that of the Brownsville afair, which they lay at the door of Theodore Roosevelt. The Republicans, they say, have been absolutely unjust to the Negro. His only hope is an independent political movement. In the address to the country which was issued by the convention there is called to attention "the fact that today no civilized country on earth can parallel the United States in the wholesale murder of innocent men, in the social persecution of the weak, in religious discrimination and proscription, and in the helplessness and inefficiency of the judiciary." Texas has outrun Klinsheff; Jim Crow cars are indefensible and recent decisions of the supreme court are repugnant to the principles of justice and democracy, so the address says. The closing paragraph, which is the platform of the convention follows: The Platform. It is time, therefore, for an independent Negro movement in politics. We should refuse alliance with either of the two dominant parties at present and confine our attention to men. We should vote and vote only for congressmen and other candidates for office who pledge themselves to advocate the following measures: 1. The restoration of the discharged Brownsville soldiers. 2. National legislation against lynching and mob law. 3. The passage of a national anti-Jim Crow law. 4. National aid to education, with the same opportunities to all children. 5. The enforcement of the constitution so as to stop disfranchisement and peonage. The convention began on August 4 and ended today. Among the delegates were the Rev. Alexander Walters of the African Methodist Episcopal church of New York, president; Prof. W. E. B. Du Bois of Atlanta, Ga.; Bishop H. M. Turner of the African Methodist Episcopal Bethel church of Atlanta, Ga.; the Rev. J. Waldron, Baptist, of Washington, D. C.; Dr. J. L. Johnson of Columbus, Ohio; Francis H. Warren of Detroit, Mich., editor of the Informer; N. B. Marshall, counsel for the Brownsville soldiers; S. L. Corrothers, and Judge M. W. Gibbs of Little Rock.

The fire was due to a short circuit in the telegraph building, and a spark, falling into inflammable material. Two persons were killed and forty injured. E. J. Ryan, formerly professor in a western college, was arrested in Pittsburgh on charges of using the mails to defraud. It is alleged he misrepresented lands in Oklahoma which he tried to sell in Kansas City. Mrs. W. L. McDaniels of Chicago took carbolic acid and died at Streator, Ill., while officials were waiting to take her to the station house on the charge of assault, with intent to kill her husband. Dirt rattling on the coffin containing the body of a lifelong friend and neighbor so shocked Mrs. Evelyn Roumens Horneyer of St. Louis that she fainted at the graveside and three hours later died of grief. At least eleven people were more or less injured, some quite seriously, when two cars came together head-on on the gorge railroad three-quarter of a mile north of Niagara Falls, N. Y. New York police are engaging themselves with the theory that James J. Gallagher, the would-be assassin of Mayor Gaynor, had an accomplice Gallagher, denies this, but a man with a police record is under suspicion. At Wallace, Idaho, hundreds of pounds of dynamite, hung to the limbs of trees on high points surrounding the city and exploded in the hope that the effect might produce rain to check the devastation wrought by forest fires, is said to have had a result, for rain began falling for the first time in two months. Casualties from the great floods which inundated many districts in Japan and submerged two of the principal wards of Tokyo almost entirely were given out after official investigation at 1.113 dead and missing. The tariff, trusts and an increased money supply are the three substantial causes for the high cost of living in the United States, according to Senators Johnston of Alabama, Clarke of Arkansas and Smith of California, minority members of the select senate committee appointed during the late session of congress to investigate and make a report on wages and the prices of commodities. Several Italian laborers were killed and a large number were inured by the collapse of a part of a dam of the T. A. Gillespie company, at Masseena, N. Y., on the big power canal. As a sequel to a decree entered by the chancery court at Memphis, Tenn., holding that the late Ira G. Rawn owned 100 shares of stock in the Memphis Car company, which agreed to return $200,000 fraudulently obtained from the Illinois Central railroad, positive announcement was made at Chicago by attorneys for the Illinois Central that the Rawn estate would be sued, and perhaps for as much as $1,000,000. The Chicago police department team won the Colt trophy and the national shooting contest at Camp Perry, O. It was announced officially at Lanark, Scotland, that J. Armstrong Drexel, an American aviator, attained a world's altitude record by rising 6,750 feet. His barogram will be submitted to the experts of the Kew observatory in London, who will determine the accuracy of the measurements. Miss Virginia Wardlaw, who with her two sisters is under indictment for the murder of Mrs. Ocey Wardlaw Martin Spead, died in the house of detention at Newark, N. J. Her death, it is said, will materially affect the prosecution of her two sisters. JOE GANS DIES--CONSUMPTION GREAT FIGHTER SUGGUMB TO DEADLY WHITE PLAGUE. Baltimore, Aug. Joe Gans, former lightweight champion pugilist, is dead of consumption which manifested itself about a year ago. Late last spring he went to Arizona with the hope of restoring his health, but the disease had been too deeply seated and he declined rapidly. He was brought here last week to die. Joe Gans' true name was Gant, the name Gans having been fastened upon him early in his ring career by a mistake of a referee. He began his ring career in 1894, but prior to that time he had made a name for himself as a fighter about a fish market in this city where he was employed. His first fight for money is said to have brought him $4. The largest fee for which he ever earned $32,000, he was beaten by a fight with Battling Nelson. Of this Gans received only $11,000, he having agreed to give Nelson the remainder win, lose or draw. Gans won the title of lightweight champion from Frank Erne at Fort Erle in one round in 1902 and lost it to Battling Nelson in 1908 in the seventeenth round. He_ was considered by the greatest analyzers of prize fighting to be the best combination of fitter, boxer and ring general that ever essayed the game. He fought more than 150 ring battles. Boston School Teacher Who Went to Philippines Is So Classed. Washington, Aug. While a woman would not be permitted to enlist in the army, navy or marine corps, she may become one of the "troops of the United States." This announcement is made on the authority of Comptroller Tracewell of the treasury department. The decision was rendered in the case of Mrs. Eva B. Peck of Boston, a school teacher who went to the island of Guam to instruct the natives. She was appointed by the navy department with the understanding that after serving a year she would be permitted to return home, the government paying her traveling expenses. When she returned she traveled from San Francisco to Pine Bluff, Ark, over the Southern Pacific, a land grant road. Mrs. Peck was classed by the government as entitled to the rate which land grant roads are required to give to "troops of the United States." SOLDIERS SAVE YELLOWSTONE. Two Hundred Troops Drive Flame From National Park. Livingston, Mont., Aug. Soldiers of Uncle Sam fought all night to save Yellowstone park from devastation by fire. The drought nurtured confragations, which have been ravaging the Northwest, yesterday invaded the national park. From Bell mountain came the news that the forest was ablaze. A pillar of smoke rising over St. Marys gave signal of a similar disaster. Still graver conditions were reported from southeast of Lake Yellowstone by smoke-begirmed couriers. As quickly as orders could be given 200 regular soldiers stationed in the park were marching against the foe. That large areas of the magnificent trees fostered as a part of the national forest reserve were doomed to denudation was apparent from the first, but the courage and discipline of the seasoned fire fighters eventually stopped the advance of the Bell and the St. Mary's mountain fires, saving miles of woodland from destruction. YELLOWSTONE PARK ABLAZE. Soldiers Battling With Flames—Wild Animals Driven into Valleys. Livingston, Aug. - Forest fires are still raging in the Yellowstone national park, midway between Mammoth Hot Springs on the north and Yellowstone station on the west. All troops of Fort Yellowstone were hurried to the scene and about 100 troops are fighting fires on Mount Holmes and Mary's mountain. Fires on the latter mountain are serious and heavy damage is threatened. Herds of deers and elk and numerous bear, driven from the timber by fires, are common sights in the valleys below the fire region, wild animals apparently losing their fear of man before the approach of the flames. Much big game is believed to have perished in the fires, those northeast of Yellowstone lake being particularly widespread. Blazing forests at night furnish a spectacular sight for hundreds of tourists. GIRL SEES HER SISTER DROWN. One Goes Beyond Depth and Other Bles in Rescue Attempt. Crookston, Aug. Grace Walton, 19 years old, and Luella Waltan, 15 years, were drowned in the Red Lake river, while bathing. The latter got beyond her depth and her sister, trying to rescue her, also lost her life. A young sister, who witnessed the drowning, called for assistance, but before it arrived both girls had dispe- pared. Their bodies were recovered.

"He brags too much about how good he is to his wife." Republicane Will Name Their State Ticket At Saratoga, September 27. Henderson—When a man marries he keeps his wife in dresses, hats, shoes—in fact, everything she needs. What does a wife keep her husband "About seven years ago a small abrasion appeared on my right leg just above my ankle. It irritated me so that I began to scratch it; and it began to spread until my leg from my ankle to the knee was one solid scale like a scab. The irritation was always worse at night and would not allow me to sleep, or my wife either, and it was completely undermining our health. I lost fifty pounds in weight and was almost out of my mind with pain and chagrin as no matter where the irritation came, at work, on the street or in the presence of company, and I was unable to help the blood running down into my shoe. I simply cannot describe my suffering during those seven years. The pain, mortification, loss of sleep, to myself and wife is simply indescribable on paper and one has to experience it to know what it is. "I tried all kinds of doctors and remedies but I might as well have thrown my money down a sewer. They would try up, for a little while and fill me with hope only to break out again just as bad if not worse. I had given up hope of ever being cured when I was induced by my wife to give the Cuticura Remedies a trial. After taking the Cuticura Remedies for a little while I began to see a change, and after taking a dozen bottles of Cuticura Resolvent in conjunction with the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Diliment, the trouble was as fine as the day I was born. Now after a lapse of six months with no signs of a recurrence I feel perfectly safe in extending to you my heartfelt thanks for the good Cuticura Remedies have done for me. I shall always recommend them to my friends. W. H. White, 112 E. Cabot St., Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 4 and Apr. 13, 1909." National League. Cincinnati, 6-4; Philadelphia, 3-1.

The coachman, who had not been in this country long, had just been equipped with a new uniform and a new silk hat. Before they had gone far it began to sprinkle, and the old woman told the coachman to fasten down the side curtains of the wagonette. He drove up to a hitching post beside the road and, dismounting, hung his new hat on the post, and begun to fasten the curtains. The old woman noticed his bare head and asked him where his hat was. "Oil took it off me head, mum, so as is wouldn't get wet," the coachman replied. A Fitting Design. "I want an estimate on 10,000 letter heads," said the professional-looking man with the silk hat.

Theodore Roosevelt's name was presented for the office of temporary chairman of the Republican state convention at the meeting of the Republican state committee today, but his selection for that honor was lost by a vote of 20 to 15. Vice-President James S. Sherman was named as temporary chairman of the Republican convention by unanimous vote, following the defeat of the motion to make Col. Roosevelt the temporary presiding officer of the convention. The state committee selected Saratoga and Sept. 27 as the place and time for the coming Republican convention. GUNS TRAINED ON COLUMBUS Ohio City in Control of Millita Again —Car Strike Rioters Quit. Columbus, Aug. 17.—The state-house yard holds many tents of the private of the First regiment, Cincinnati-Ohio National guard, who arrived here on call by Governor Harmon for strike duty. There has been little rioting or serious disorder since the announcement that the troops would return to Columbus and the street cars are running on something like schedule time. The militia is in absolute control of the situation, although martial law has not been proclaimed. The soldiers cook their meals on the state-house grounds. A number of Public Safety McCune formally discharged the thirty-five mutinous policemen who refused to go on the cars when ordered by Mayor Marshall.

(Copyright, 1950, by Joseph B. Bowles). Playing for one run at a time, and making sure of that one, is the way to win at baseball. The day of big batting averages is over, and the team that can advance runners steadily and work together at the bat, and on the bases, is the winner. In the first place the pitching has become so good that it has been called the year it did even ten years ago—and the first run in a game counts for more than that. I think a team wins that has a good man, especially a good waiter, who also can hit, leading off. If the first man up in a game gets to first, is sacrificed down, and either of the next two batters can get him home, that game is almost won right there. The other team is handicapped, is unable to play as resourceful and mixed up a game as it could do if ahead, or on equal terms, while the team that is leading can take chances and vary the style of attack, standing a much better chance of making more runs simply because it afford to take chances, while the other team must play a desperate defensive game, play close and take desperate chances to cut off runs. The Cubs have won three pennants by playing for one run at a time, because their pitchers have always held the other teams down to low scores, and I think we have the best team at making the one run that ever was organized. The way to get that one run is to have a resourceful attack, and to keep outguessing the other team all the time and never allow the style of play to become machine-like. By that I mean to hit the first ball when the pitcher is expecting you to wait, to wait when he expects you to hit and to wait him out to the limit if he shows any signs of unsteadiness. We frequently wait out pitchers for three or four innings, perhaps without getting a hit or a base, and then switch the system and hit the first ball that comes over. We fight all the time to get that first man on bases. Then, if the opening is made, we change the game and try to surprise the other team. If they are creeping in, expecting bunts, we may switch and play hit and run. It is merely trying to do the unexpected, and our whole scheme of the unexpected, is based on getting one run across. I think we have been so successful at this because we have a perfect signaling system. Each batter has three signals with the three men Q Joe Tinker. ahead of him, and three with the three who follow him. Ordinarily Chance permits us to use our own judgment as to what to do at bat and on bases, but if he gives a signal from the bench it is carried out. If he signals hit, the batter hits, if bunt, he bunts, and it is that working together and hitting together that has won for us. No matter how good a player may be, he is worthless to a club until he learns to forget himself and his batting average and hit for runs. It is team work and team hitting that wins games. O'Rourke to Play One More Game. Expressing a desire to round out 40 years of professional baseball playing, James H. "Orator" O'Rourke of Bridgeport (Conn.) League, lawyer, former owner of the Bridgeport team, and one of the oldest, if not the oldest professional player in the country, will probably catch one game for New Haven during the present season. When the Bridgeport man spoke of his desire, Cameron said he would be pleased to have him play in any game the veteran might find convenient. This will make O'Rourke's thirty-eighth year in baseball. He says he wishes to play one game a year as long as he is able to do so. Sex Can Now "See Kelly." The National commission has decided that the Chicago American's claim to A. M.

A search for a child's short story, "The Griffin and the Minor Canon." in a volume all by itself revealed to a persistent city shopper the thought and money that are expended on the furnishing of dolls' houses. Book stores had not the story in a single volume, but in a department store one young woman interviewed had recently been transferred from the toy department and was able to contribute a helpful hint. "I think," she said, "you can find it in one of the dolls' houses downstairs." Curiosity had by that time become a sauce to literature, so the shopper hurried downstairs to inspect the doll houses. Three of the most expensive houses contained libraries consisting of a score of diminutive books and each book contained a child's story complete. One of them was "The Griffin and the Minor Canon."

Mr. Campbell encountered the unknown man on the desert in a frightful condition.

Sarah Bernhardt, who is supposed to be something of the artist as well as an artist, recently called upon in one of her marvelous creations to enact the role of a sculptor, and to model a certain bust in view of the audience.

Bernhardt exhibited they showed that they knew little of the artistic tricks of actors and actresses; as a matter of fact, she does nothing of the kind.

After Fifteen Years By Clarissa Mackie Copyright, 1910, by Associated Literary Press. Meilvin Taylor and Adelia Scott had lived next door to each other all their lives, yet they had not spoken for 15 years. Adelia, forty now, with a powdering of white in her brown hair, was sitting in the old grape vine swing, swaying idly to and fro. Her soft eyes were fixed on the toe of her small shoe as it lightly touched the green turf. Overhead the April sky was cloudless; around her was growing grass and young springing flowers. In her heart was a great yearning for happiness—a renewal of the joys that had belonged to her girlhood; the dreams, the ideals that were hers before the awakening. From the other side of the dividing lilia hedge came the fragrance of tobacco and the sound of men's voices, growing nearer. "If you have the face of a gentleman," be a while. "I haven't," return coldly. Adelia leaned aga trunk of the old tree stretched arm glean brown bark. E like twin stars and in little gasps. "What—what do found courage to a painful silence. There was a mo and then: I placed 15 years ago, he be "Well? "I never received grully, his hold on ening cruelly. "You are hurting said with a little cry "Women are naturally stubborn," Melvin Taylor was saying in a disagreeable tone. "If May has quarreled with you, Walter, you might as well give her up now and be done with it—no matter how deeply you repent. What apologies you may offer however humble yourself, take my assurance she will not forgive you." "Rubbish!" retorted Walter Stone, laughing. "May and I have had a disagreement, but I know we shall make it up—who knows when—perhaps today! As for the rest of womens—they are all like May, I do believe—sweet and forgiving—only some clumy brute of a man like you or me—" "I've had my experience," interrupted Taylor brusquely. "I was engaged to marry what I believe to be ```markdown ``` Swaying idly to and Fro. the sweetest girl in the world. We quarreled a week before our wedding day—15 years ago. I wrote a note begging her to forgive me—" Their voices died away as they passed beyond hearing, and Adelia still swayed to and fro in the grape vine. Now her face was white. So Melvin Taylor had made overtures of peace and she had never known it. She, too, had written a note to him and hidden it in their true lover's postoffice—a cup-like hollow in the old apple tree that grew in the lilac hedge. After fifty years ago, she had gone to the hollow—but there was never a letter; and her wedding day had come and gone and she had never been a bride. Invitations had been recalled, presents returned and bridal garments hidden from sight, white Adelia picked up the dull threads of every-day life and learned to meet Melvin Taylor now and then greet him with a cold little inclination of the head. With a sudden impulse she left the grape vine swing and sought the old apple tree. The lilac branches had grown unpruned until their smooth green stems quite hid the cup like hollow. Adela stood on tiptoe and thrust her little hand into the old letter box. The hollow was empty save for a few dead and crumpled leaves and a gathering of moss. Just as she withdrew her hand her fingers were caught in a warm, strong grasp. With a faint cry of alarm, Adela tried to jerk her hand away, but in vain. "Who is it?" demanded Melvin Taylor's voice from the other side of the hedge. "Release me at once," commanded Adela angrily. "Oh! There was enlightenment in his tone; but the grasp only tightened its hold. German Court Etiquette German Court Etiquette How All These Who Wish to Be Presented to Royalty Must Proceed. A woman of position who wishes to appear at the German court must find a friend who will introduce her officially to the Oberhofmeisterin—a sort of feminine lord chamberlain—who is an arbiter of fate with regard to court presentation. This dignitary holds a reception of her own previous to the court, and would-be presentes must attend, as it were on approval. If all goes well the aspirant is in due course blinden to a court reception. Courts at Berlin begin at nine. Full evening dress must be worn, with trains, but no veil or feathers and black gowns are not permitted. At the beginning of the reception the fessinine element is carefully "sorted"—married women in one room and girls and debutantes in another, and in this latter newcomers "If you have the faintest instincts of a gentleman," began Adelia after a while. "I haven't," returned Mr. Taylor coldly. Adelia leaned against the rugged trunk or the old tree, her white, outstretched arm gleaming against the brown bark. Her eyes were shining like twin stars and her breath came in little gasps. "What—what do you want?" she found courage to ask after another painful silence. "Then we a moment's hesitation and then: "I placed a note in here 15 years ago," he began lamely. "Well?" "I never received a reply," he said grumly, his hold on her hand tightening cruelly. "You are hurting my hand," she said with a little cry. "You hurt my heart 15 years ago," retorted. Melvin stubbornly. retorted Melvin stubbornly. After a long silence Adelia's voice came faintly over the hedge. "I, too, placed a note there—15 years ago and—" "And?" queried Mr. Taylor. "I never received a reply to my note." "The—dickens!" Mr. Taylor whistled softly. "I never got it. Adelia Do you mean to say you never got a note from me the day after—after we quarreled." "I never received any word from you." Adelia's voice was tremulous now, as she added: "If you will release my hand—" He relaxed his hold reluctantly, and Adelia slipped down in a crumpled heap in the soft turf at the foot of the apple tree. "Go, Adella," he said gently. It is too late for me to offer you any apology for my long silence; I wrote you a letter, asking your forgiveness and I placed it here in the hollow—I believed you were hard and unforgiving when I did not receive any answer and I grew more angry with you, instead of seeking an explanation. Your little note, as well as mine, was probably taken by some marauding catbird to build his nest in the hedge. I think I shall go away now—I have been such a fool I want to seek the uttermost ends of the earth to try and forget my folly!" His voice regained its bitterness. There was a long silence after that. "I am here, Melvin," said Adella. "May I come over?" he asked in a strange voice. "Yes," she said softly, but not so softly that his eager ears did not catch the longed-for words. Presently he was beside her, the old boyish smile on his lips, the old lovelight in his eyes, the old happiness in his face. Adella flushing rosily, leaned for support against the apple tree and her downcast eyes dared not meet his questioning ones. "Will you forgive me, Adella?" he asked holding out his arms. "If you will forgive me, too," she said sweetly, turning a radiant face up to him. And then she came to him, all her sorrows stilled, all her happiness restored ten-fold because of the pain she had endured. Overhead the April sky was cloudless, underfoot the green grass was starred with dandelions; there in the shade of the beloved old apple tree, Adella's youth came back to her, with happiness and love and all the old ideals. High-Priced Biberon Ten thousand guineas were given by C. Wertheimer, at the sale of the late Baron Schroeder's collection at Christine's a few days ago, for a sixteenth century biberon of carved rock crystal mounted with enameled gold. It is made in imitation of some fabled monster which its designer may have imagined to be a sea serpent, but the body of which, lost in a series of fuitings, resembles more closely that of a water fowl. The crystal neck and body is mounted with enameled gold, and is poised like a wineglass on a crystal stem, also mounted very beautifully in gold and enamel. The lid of the biberon is surmounted by a enameled in enamel of Nectar sitting astride and in this, as in every other portion of the decoration, the work is of unsurpassable delicacy. It is thought to have come from the hands of Daniel Mignot of Augsburg, who made it for the Emperor Rudolph II.—London Graphic. Only Safe Plan. Knicker—Would you prohibit erecting a statue to a man until he had been dead 50 years?

The lady presented has now not fled her wish to be invited to some of the court entertainments. A court ball at Berlin is opened with much ceremony. The German emperor and empress enter with their suites, and the ambassadresses stand about the throne in the court circle. Their imperial majesties never dance, but converse with their guests in an amiable manner. By the way, the emperor lays much stress on good dancing, and will allow no one who is not an expert to dance at the palace. A court official sits in a gallery and watches the dancers, and should he detect any errors in either ladies or men, later on, communicates with the emperor, and the culprit is notified that he or she must become more proficient before being again invited to the palace. ONE OF BROOKLYN'S BRIGHTEST STARS BROOKLYN Left Fielder Wheat. When Manager "BILL" Dahlen commenced to "reconstruct" the Brooklyn team at the beginning of the season, about the first player he was outfielder Wheat from the Mobile team of the Southern league. Wheat has certainly made good. He is near the top of the list of the National League sluggers and his fielding has been equally as good. THE classification legislation in the game clean and attractive to the National association national best people, and he is succeeding it National association national agreement will be revised at the annual meeting of that organization in Chicago next fall. The system may not undergo radical change, but there will be modifications that will do away with abuses and injustices that have arisen in the course of the development of the game, to individual minor leagues in all sections of the country. The major leagues are interested in the matter, because the draft price of the player is determined by the rank of the minor league of which the club to which he belongs is a member at the time of his selection. Parties of the first part in the agreement will have no part in the new grouping of the minor leagues. This power is delegated to the minors by section 5 of Article 6 of the national agreement, which reads as follows: The National association shall have the classification of its leagues and the adoption of a salary for its clubs according to such classification and it agrees to withdraw protection from any league which it cannot to exceed the salary limit prescribed for leagues of its classification. The succeeding section fixes the price for selecting a Class A player by a major club at $1,000; if a Class B player at $750; of a Class C player at $500, and of a player "from a club of lower class," at $300. The quoted words were manifestly employed in expectation of the creation of classes low D and are assured that elastic to include the letters of the alphabet is no longer. It is apparent that, although the National association has sole control of the classes of its leagues in rank, three classes—A, B and C—must be retained in order that the drafting rights of the major leagues under Section 6, Article 6, may be exercised at the price fixed for each of these ranks. "Are the Tigers out of the pennant running this year? Decidedly not," said Manager Hughey Jennings the other day. "We've got to work harder than ever before, that's all. Who do I think will win if we fail to get in at the finish. Well, frankly, I like the looks of the Red Sox. The Red Sox team has even chances with the Athletics of landing first in the race, despite the big handicap the Connell Macks now have on Taylor's men. As long as this Red Sox smash bang bang continues nothing in the world will stop the team. Great pitching by a remarkable pitching staff such as the Athletics have will win a penant, sometimes, but when you have to choose between a team that is playing great ball in the field and hitting fairly well behind wonderful pitchers, and a team that is bubbling over with confidence which has resulted from a long stretch of victories is able to start a batting rally which means everywhere from three to four singles to six or eight hits with doubles and triples scattered among them, and has a couple of great left-handers, who seldom pitch three, four or five hits, but who never get hammered out of the box either, why, give me the chaps who are hitting and who have the confidence. It would be a great thing for Boston to win the pennant, and if we cannot climb in there, why, my best wishes to Pat Donovan's team." President Lynch has been closely observing the work of his umpress. He is fairly well satisfied with the way they are performing, but is anxious to improve the staff as much as he can. Next year he expects to have two or three new men of intelligence and good judgment. "In order to get high class men for the position," said the league chief, "it is necessary to make the work attractive. Intelligent men will not stand for constant daily abuse on the field, and I am doing my best to eliminate the use of bad language by players. If we can hush up the rough fellows it will be easy to get a fine class of men to do the umpring, for it is interesting work. I think we are making progress along that line. Every case of profane or obscene language used to an umpress for a fine or suspension, and this rule is being rigorously enforced." Mr. Lynch is very earnest in his desire to make the game clean and attractive to the best people, and he is succeeding in his intention. More than $5,000,000 will be paid out this year in salaries to baseball players. This does not include the enormous expense of keeping parks in order, buying supplies and paying travel expenses. The total expenditure for the baseball of the two big leagues during the season this year will run close to $10,000,000. Baseball is a prestigious institution. August Herrmann of Baltimore, National Baseball commission, predicts that this season will pay eight per cent. on the more invested in baseball. "Baseball is the greatest business in the land," he says. "It is a progressive business and is continually growing." Paul Smith, left fielder of the Canton team of the Illinois-Missouri league, was purchased the other day by President Murphy of the Cubs for $500. James Murphy, a brother of the president, located the unteen-year-old player on a scouting trip. Smith is six feet one inch tall, weighs 190 pounds, and has been batting close to the .320 mark. It is his first year in professional baseball and he will remain with Canton until the Illinois-Missouri league season closes. AROUND THE BASES Jack Sheridan has been created the tutor of the young "arbitrator" of the American league. Ban Johnson could not let the veteran get away from him and made a new job for the man that has been calling balls and strikes in the league ever since the start ten years ago. The baseball fans of St. Paul are watching and waiting for the blow-up of that Minneapolis club, and if the bottom of the Miller sack does not fall within the next two weeks there will be several suicide tricks turned in the city of the Saints. Pitcher Walter Manning, who has been with the New York American league club since 1908, has been released to Rochester of the Eastern league. Lawrence McClure, the former Amherst college twirler, has been turned over to Jersey City. Lord, who was recently traded by the Naps to the Athletics for Infielder Rath, is killing the ball for Mack. He made four hits in the first game of a double-hander the other day against his former teammates just to show McGue's poor judgment. All of the White Stockings went "swimming" the other day shortly after they had reached Detroit. They didn't return until supper time. Even then there wasn't life enough in the squad to start an argument. Billy Sunday is to be a close neighbor of Billy Sullivan near Roseburg, Ore. Sunday's fruit orchard will be near enough to permit the two veterans to get together for a fanning bee every once in a while. Dick Cooley has his rooters pretty well trained in Topeka. After the Topeka team lost twice the other day the fans took over the ampire and chased the poor fellow a mile and a half, but Tip O'Neill would not have him on his staff if he was not a good runner. Frank Navin, president of the Detroit Tigers, wants young men to help the champions. The recent slump of the team has caused Navin to send Jimmy Casey and Malachi Kittridge scouting along with Bob Lowe and the orders to be bring in young players to take the place of the veterans that are showing signs of decay. Fred Tenney may become the baseball coach at Harvard next year. His salary will be $3,000 and in his spare moments he would be furnished with other remunerative employment.

Another Tradition Exploded. Two Englishmen were resting at the "Red Horse Inn" at Stratford-on-Avon. One of them discovered a print picturing a low, tumbling building underneath which was printed: "The House in Which Shakespeare Was Born." Turning to his friend in mild surprise he pointed to the print. His friend exhibited equal surprise, and them of the accuracy of the inscription, "Pon my word," said the observing Englishman, shaking his head dubiously, "I thought he was born in a manger!"—Success Magazine. Quotation Marks.
