AnSOn'S Nose

1t is strange that nobody has ever re-
marked the fact that Anson's nose is an
infalliDle indicator of his feelings, says
a New York special to the Cincinnati
Enquirer. There is nothing abnormal
about the old mans proboscis. either in
length, breadth or circumference; but
in horsepower, trombone resonance
and chameleOD-like fluctuations of color,
it takes the biscuit. At the beginning
OF the game it was tinged with a faint
sea-shell color that meaut everything in
the way of sluggability and determine
ton. In the third inning it was carna-
ton pink; in the fourth it was a full
blown Jacqueminot rose, and in the
fifth it shown through his mask like the
port-light on man-O'-war.

you at the time, is very ex-
tensive, and it is certainly
advisable to try this gentle

HANDICAP BASE BALL.
Umpire Gaffney Has a Scheme
For Creating Interest.

For creating interest.
Umpire Gaffney haze a scheme which
he thinks, if adopted, would greatly en-
nance the interest in base ball. He is
in favor of handicapping the stronger
clubs, thereby placing them ON an
equal footing with the weaker ones.
He argues shat inasmuch as there is
handicapping done in all other kinds of
sport there is no reason why it should
not be done in base ball. Mr..
Gaffney thinks there are only
four clubs in the Association
race this year, VIZ: Athletics. Brook
lyns, Cincinnatis and st. Louis. These
four teams, he thinks, are evenly
matched. Now, to put all the clubs on
an equal footing, he would give Louis
vile twelve or fifteen games, Kansas
City and Columbus ten or twelve, and
Baltimore about eight. BY giving these
four clubs handlcaps he thinks the
eight clubs would be in the race from
the beginning. This, of course, would
greatly increase the interest taken in
the race in every city in the circuit.

The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1889-04-17

blue eyes were wide with wonderment,
really and truly, does the sun dance
with the moon on Easter morning?"
What would be tellin' ye for if it
wasn't so at all? They do in Ireland;
just as sure as the blissid sun comes up
drippin' out av the say, LAWN ould Eng
land in the dark, bad luck to her! The
moon runs hoppity skip across the sky
an joins hand with the sun, an they
dance rale Irish jig together"
"That must be dreadfuIly funny" said
Elsie gravely; then, last doubt linger-
ing in her puzzled thoughts, ''Did you
ever see them, Maggie?"
''See thin, is it? Oh, oh! run away,
now, to yer mamma an shtop axing me
bothersome questions. Don't tell ye it's
so? What more do ye want, dunno?"
Elsie put her little finger in her mouth
and walked slowly and with distracted
gaze into the sitting room where her
mother sat sewing and her father was
reading the evening paper. She sat
down upon low stool under the mantel
and studied the brown and yellow fig
ures of the carpet. In the soft light Of
the big lamp on the center table the
brown seemed darker than it did by day
light, and the yellow was almost white,
Elsie wondered vaguely whether the yell
low moon would be white during the
dance with the sun, for she remembered
that whenever it appeared by day it was
wofully pale: and would the sun turn
his dazzling face aside for just one min
ute SO that she could have a good look at
him? and would the moon have feet? and
would the suns legs go right down from
the great, hot circle of fame, or would
there be body like papa's? or would
both, and this seemed more likely, would
both just tilt from side to side and laugh
in each others face before they resumed
their regular duties?
1t was strangely interesting to the
eight-years-old, and in happy reflection
she forgot all about the odd figures in
the new carpet The bronze clock above
her head began to buzz with immense
importance and then uttered single

speedily dropped, and she got out and
stood in front of her half opened win
dow. Across the road street lamp
made fantastic shadows of the trees and
houses, and far away dog barked.
From the room below came the clear,
high tones of her mothers voice and the
deep, somber murmur of her fathers
replies. Mellow sounds from the top of
the little hill back of the house told that
the church clock was striking 8. How
slowly the time passed for Elsie! She
looked up again at the stars and thought
how tired the angels must get watching
through the dark silence of every night.
Then somebody walked rapidly by, and
when she could no longer hear his foot
steps she wondered if it were nearly 10
o'clock At last it grew chilly, and she
climbed into bed again, just for one
minute, to get warm.
The evening had grown old for coun-
try folk before Mrs. Durant put aside the
work that had lain idle in her lap for

tiny ring and went on ticking hurrledly'
as if in haste to reach the next hour
mark, when its buzzing should prelude
a more significant announcement. All
we'll regulated clocks are subject to this
vanity; they puff out the cheeks OF their
faces, rattle away as if all their precious
insides were falling to pieces; stheSpendu
lum is silent, and then. the commotlon
ends with few silvery strokes, more
or less, after which the tinepiece re-
covers it's modest self possession and
goes on about it's useful business.
''Half past g." said Mrs. Durant, CLAN
cling. up at the clock. Time little girls
were in bed.
Mamma" exclaimed Elsie, taking
tuck in her dress with her fingers and
looking hard at her feet, ''mayn't ! sit
up all night, just this once!'
''Mercy on us!' cried Mrs: Durant, lay
ing her sewing down in her lap: ".wtlat
does the child meant?
Papa Durant looked inquiringly over
the top of his paper.
