Sorrows OLA Base Ball Club Manager.

Henry Lucas says: | think that base
ball business is the mcancst profession
On the face of the earth. | don't mean
h players, but the running and man
agcmcnt of a club. 1t is IN awful pull
on IL man., and is enough to turn his
hair gray after he has been Il year ut the
business. You are always in hot water.
You don't more than get one thing fixed
up, and think that everything is lovely
and prospects for smooth sailing, when
h first thing you know some manager
will make Il grand kick that can be felB
all the way from Boston to st. Louls,
and then away goes all your plans, and
before you know it you are flat OH your
back. oh, yes, it is Il fine occupation
for a man who wants to train himself
for the insane asylum. Some people
have an idea that it is q regular picnic
to run Il base ball club, but six months
or year would slightly change their
opinions. I think. Base ball managers,
rs a rule. are kickcrs from the word
go" If they arc not when they first
90 into the business. it won't take them
long t, learn it. The cause Why, the
simplest in the world.
The first 70 Jump on YOU arc the play
crs, and they keep it up during the
whole season. They quarrel abo'.t this
and that, ana if You say an thing to,
them they get mad and won't play.
Then there are kickcls all around you.
The manager Of the team tli.t you arc
playing with wants to SIT On you, and
every man with whom you have speak
ing acquaintance, no matter where he
meets you, will want to know why you
didn't do this and why yGu didn't 90
that. Then, again, if n OF your play
crs makcsa poor play occasionally, every
one grccts you with, That was an av-
full bad break that so-anG-ao made, and
"Why don't you fire him 2 Then,
again, you will find persons who want
to run the club for you and say: eff 1
were you, l would pat such a player ut
third; he can't pitch at all, and this.
fLl Ter and that catcher should have
other POSITIONS" At the end the
base ball season you can imagine hat
it is to run Il base ball team and hat
you have to go through with. W. it
is simply enough TO make a man lid,
and the only thing that surprises me is
that base ball managers live as long as,
they do.

y Indian Question.

A tall and commanding-looking In
dian from the Canada side, having a
big back load of door-mats on his back,
was tramping up Randolph street yes
tcrday when II man in a saloon bcckOncd
him in. The red mans face lighted up
with Il ''ten-ccnt apiece" smile of salts

three men present, and they seemed to
be in a hilarious state.
"Scc here, old coppcr-face, said one,
as he shut and locked the door, 'I'm

time. They shot an uncle of mine, and
I've sworn revenge. Maybe YOU are
ready to take the all tlredest licking a

"Hu!' replied the Indian as he looked

not lost Il drop of blood nor n donr-mat.
Inside the saloon NIL was peaceful and
serene. The man whose uncle was shot
was lying under II table; the one whose
grandmother was shot seemed trying
awful hard to remember how the affair
began; and the one who went in on
general principals was looking out OF
two black eyes ut a ruined nose.

Gates or Happiness.

All men and women should rejoice to
remain part child all through life, how
ever long its course may run. The
games, the dance, the anecdote, the as
sembly Of friends, the feast, are as much
part Of humanity as its natural power
to laugh or to perceive the points Of wit.
Amusement is one of the forms of hui
man happiness. This happiness, like
old Thebes, has hundred gates for its
coming and going g-the gate Of tears,
for man weeps when he is happy, amid
music or in revislting his mother's s
home, the gate Of pensiveness, for he is
happy when he reads ..Gray's Elegy" or
walks in the rustling autumn leaves;
tho gate Of admiration, for man is hap
py amid the beauty Of nature and Of
art; the gate of friendship, when heart
finds its companion heart; the gate Of
hope, for man is happy when the COM
ing days are pictured with these angel
figures Of expectation. OF these hundred
gates Of happiness amusement makes
one planned by the Builder Of human
life. It must open before us and we
may all pass in and out as long as the
heart shall remain unbroken by death
or grief. Req. DGUid Sscing.

One day he arose ten years younger
than he had felt the day before, and full
OF hope and determination.
The train bore him swiftly to Great

Again the affable landlord sat at the

the stranger, with feeling.
