A SOCIETY MANS LAMENT.

I've attended ev'ry tea,
I've attended ev'ry ball,
I've attentive tried to be
And most polite to all;
Yet another seasons DER,
And here alone l stands;
I've failed to make Il score
I've won no maiden's hand.
There was Mabel Jones l tried
"A YER charming girl
/ was always by her side
In ev'ry social whirl;
But a boorish man got her,
And here alone ] stand;
SO it's cas- to infer
I've won no maiden's hand.
Then l tried my luck again
With damsclS not a few,
But they all admired men
Who something had to do.
What in businessmen they see
/ can not understand,
Yet they only .fhrt with me-,
1 a not win n and.
I'm a very model dude,
ne'cr have worked q day,
But I've loafed in pensive mood
In ev'ry swell cafe:
But they've let my graces pass.
For shekels and for land,
For businessmen, alas!
Have o. each maidcn's hand.
Robert AinSlcy.

paSeulan 5 ucau ana came straight at
me. +.
II heard the cheers of the crowd; I
saw the runners flying between the
bases; L saw ourcaptain fling his cap to
the ground, and knew by instinct that
he had bitten his lip and muttered:
Just our luck to hit to that muffer
with the bases FULL All these things
come to ones eyes and ears at such a
time without his knowing that he sees
or hears them. Then l started to run
forward, though l knew l was fully
twenty feet too far out to reach the
ball ere it touched the ground.
81 ran desperately and at the critical
moment sprang forward. The distance
no mortal could have covered at one
leap, but l felt myself borne forward
irresistibly by an unknown force, and
something fell into my hand. There
was a moments silence, then came a
roar from the crowd, followed by an
electric clapping Of hands, then a cry
OF Back! back!' as the rune rushed
to retrace their steps. Another yell
Qrom captain this time): "Puth her
to second basel and | threw the ball to
the baseman. On it went like a rifle
shot, breast high, and straight. / saw
him turn and fling it with unerring
aim to first. Then came the monoto-
nous voice of the umpire: Side out"
and u men went trooping in, turning
so%mersaults and walking on their hands
in citation.
"'That was a lucky fluke of yours,
that triple play said the captain, con-
solingly.

New York World, 4th inst.
A Statesman's Views.

Last Sunday Horatio Seymour filed
his seventy fifth year, having been born
on May 81, 1910 In letter to close
personal friend the venerable statesman
refers to his advanced age, and expresses
his gratitude that his mental faculties are
still vouchsafed to him unimpared, al
though the crowdlng years press heavi-
ly on his sight, his hearing and his limbs.
The Ex-Governor says that be contin-
ues 10 take an active interest in the po.
hlical movements and public questions
OF the hour, and be believes that, stand.
ing apart from the strife and the turmoil
OF active political life, he can view mat
ters more calmly than in former days
and perhaps with more impartality. He
rejoices that he has lived to witness the
return of the Democratic party 10 power
in the nation-not that Democrats may
enjoy the spoiIs of Office. but because it
IS vindication of the principles Of De
mocracy, and proves to the country that
the party is capable of governing wisely
and is sincerely desirous of making an
economical. honest Administration.
Mr. Seymour expresses entire conf
dence in Mr.. Cleveland and believes be
will make q successful and in the end a
very popular President. The Admins
tratiou moves slowly, says the ex-Gov
ernor, but is it not wise and prudent to
do SOP He might himself some years
ago have preferred more active party
measures than have yet been adopted,
but he contents himself now with the
knowledge that honest men are at the
head Of public affairs and that In good
time all the minor offices will be filled
by those whose honesty is above suspi
cion and who are imbued with true Dem
ocratic principles,
On one point Mr. Seymour expresses
himself empha,icallv. He can see NO
single event of President Cleveland I
public life which casts a doubt on bis
genuine Democracy, and be believes tha
as man of brain and judgment the
President must recognize the necessity
OF Strengthening the Democratic party
and the folly of putting dangerous weap
ons into the hands OF any men who's,
sentiments prejudice them against Dem.
ocratic traditions aud who may at any
moment be found in opposition to th
Democracy.
Mr.. Seymour speaks of his CLOSING
life, his entire happiness, his sffectioI
for bis old associations and friends AM
his confidence in the American peopl
in language Of touching simplicity. The
venerable statesman and ssnch Demo
crat ends an honorable public caree
with dignity and kindness which prov,
that the people were right to trust ant
honor him Tue sunset of his life pre-
sents it's most attractive and beautiful
colors.

SMOTHEisED IN MALT.

A worlxman's Body Stops Up the
Opening Through which the Malt
was Flowing.
On the second floor Of Readleston d
Woorz's West Tenth street malt house
there is big bin, in which is stored the
malt Immediately after it is made The
top Of the bin is twelve feet from the
floor. It holds 10 600 bushels At the
bottom OF the bin is an opening, through
which the malt descends into an eleva-
tor, which carries 1t to the brewery,
which is 10 an adjoining building The
opening is covered by slides, which are
kept over it when the elevator is not
running. The bin was filed on Satur.
dap. Yesterday morning the elevator
belt was started and the bin slides pulled
out For few moments the malt pour
ed out as usual. Then it slowed, and
finally stopped.
Some Of the workmen went to inves.
tigate. They poked at the opening with
poles, and we're surprised to see boot.
encased foot pop through, and then saw
that the body to which the foot belonged
had stopped the flow of malt. They
quickly set to work getting the malt oul
of the bin. At the bottom they found
Carl Richter, who was employed in the
malt house. He was dead, having been
sut1ocated bv the malt. which had reach.
ed nearly seven feet above his head.
1t is not known how Richter got into
the bin. Fireman Thumb said that Rich
ter had no business near the bin at all
He thought that he wanted to shirS
work. and had climbed to the top of the
bin aud had lain down on the malt 10
sleep. When the slides were pulled out
and the malt began to run through the
opening, his weight carried him down
just as IL be were in quicksand, and be
smothered.
Richter was about 70 years old, and
recently came from Germany, where his
wife and children are living.-N. Y. Sun

y Miss Cleveland is an sdmirsbI

EE Miss Cleveland is an admirable
woman to have in the White House.
There is no nonsense about her. The
compliments of Office seekers and the
gush of newspaper correspon dents will
not spoil her. She is a woman with a
head of her own, with views and with
solid reasons for them. Her new book
shows that she has been thinker as well
as reader. Her essays on George
Eliot's Poetry" Charlemagne." "Joan
of Arc," "Buddhism," etc are valuable
additions to the literature Of the day -
Miss Cleveland thinks clearly and writes
vigorous English Her temperance vie IS
are too we'll known to require mention
here. With such lady in the White
House the butterfly society Of Washing
