"Gunny," the crack Kansas City
catcher, was in a laxative mood the
other night. The subject he took for his
discourse was 1.-THE Baseball Hand"
"That's my only game finger" he said,
as he held up the third digit of his "north
paw" and pointed to huge knot at the
middle of the finger; "but l am lucky
compared with some fellows know. The
worst hand I ever saw belonged to a man
whose name I can't recall. AS we were
sitting around table one day he held up
his hands with the remark: Il broke those
all in one game and there they were, ten
fingers knocked completely out of shape,
gnarled and knotty, with not a single
straight one in the lot"
"What kind of hand should a good
player have" was asked.
"Well, a ball man to be a good one has
to have hand that is short, thick and
stubby. kansas City Times.

Tho Speech Didn't Fit.

Tho Speech Dtdnt F1ts
Gus Williams, the comedian, was ten.
dered benefit in Boston in 1872. He
was a great favorite in that city. The
benefit was to occur ON Friday evening
of the week. Along about Wednesday
John Stetson, the word painter, who
was manager of the theatre where Gus
was playing, approached the comedian
on the quiet and said: "Gus, my boy,
your friends here are to present you with
a watch at your benefit next Friday
evening. l didn't want you to be broken
up when they came upon the stage with
it, 80 thought 1 would tell you, conf
dentially, what was in the wind. Now
you can write up neat little speech for
the occasion and prepare yourself for
the ordeal" Gus thanked Stetson heart
lily. He was pleased at the idea of get
ting fine watch. He carried cheap
one, which kept good time, and this he
gave away to the property man at once,
in order that the presentation committee
might see that he had no timepiece.
When he went to his room at the hotel
that night he wrote out pretty i'm
promptu speech, in which he said that
when he gazed at the face of the beauti-
full watch he would see the faces of his
Boston friends; when he saw the hands
he would be reminded of the Boston
hand of good fellowship; the spring
when he looked at it would suggest the
wellsp1 e of friendship; the chain would
bind him to Boston, etc. 1t was neat
response and he studied it carefully. He
knew that when he sprung it they would
think him wonderful extemporaneous
speaker and he shook hands with him
self. Well, the eventful Friday night
came at last. The vast house was packed
with his enthusiastic friends. At the
proper time the presentation committee
filed out on to the stage and faced him.
He braced himself for the ordeal. The
chairman stepped forward and presented
him with-a cane. They might as well
have hit him over the head with it, as he
was unable to speak word.-Chicago

nKe 10 walk over there, just to stretch
our legs?"
Eyes, yes," said the father, sitting with
joy. II should rather like to take look
at it."
And in tone of triumphant defiance,
like the echo Of victory won over the
others, he cried from distance, as they
went out:
1--WE are going to Orlando's!"
Don Agostino was surprised at the
cheerful and comfortable appearance Of
the little suite Of rooms. He took great
delight in being there. His happiness
lent sunshine to the atmosphere about
him.
But with prying look he searched for
an empty corner. something to furnish,
to substitute. Discovering nothing, he
said, discontentedly:
"But you lack everything herer

the contrary, emphatically assure you
that there are few young households as
well provided as ours.'
"Indeed, indeed!' said the father, in q
tone of conviction. II understand and I
will think about it."
Then he rested the better to absorb his
intense joy, looking religiously at every
thing about him. Orlando smoked one
of the famous cigars; the father tasted
the profound and hitherto unknown sat
isfaction of being accepted, of finding
himself at last in the young peoples
home. He told stories, and wanted Or
lando to love him more, much more,
than the others. In short, the exalted
and tender numbskull dreamed of hav-
ing them entirely to himself, not per-
ceiving that his projects, on the contra
ry, would really give him entirely to
these dear needless tyrants.

Thenceforth the whole world belonged
to the young people. Nothing was done
in the family without first considering
what Orlando would think about it.
No despot ever was less conscious of
his sway, none ever established and kept
it with as little effort.
This was due first to his unlocked for
act of authority.
Before that the Cardellis had looked
upon him as poor fellow, showing their
bourgeois contempt for the artist incapa-
BILE of making money; but when he
showed the force of his will respect
staightway mingled with their wrath.
He was stronger than they had supposed
him to be. Then they thought he would
prove incapable of regulating his life;
that, his money once spent, the rebel
would return. But the rebel, once started
in the path of calculation, knew perfectly
well how to manage his affairs, aided by
the loving Teresa, who did not leave her
husband time to exhaust his resources.
So at first they had for him the esteem
that is always accorded to success.
This point clearly established, the ad-
grafton of his wife worked the second
miracle. So often did she repeat:
II do this or that because Orlando pre-
fers it. do not want such a thing, it
would displease my husband. That color!
Orlando does not like it."
She said these things simply because
she was convinced, adored him and
thought only of pleasing him. Soon the
family began to repeat after her:
"Yes, but if such thing should dis
please Orlando?"
Don Agostino always did the buying
of the household provisions-macaroni,
cheese, oil, olives, preserves of all sorts,
such as we'll to do families generally keep
in large quantities. Now, nothing was
ever pure enough, fine enough.

Boys and Easter Eggs.

There is nothing more trying to a boy than, after great care in accumu- lating these shelly resources, to have to forth to the light two weeks before Easter. Boys, therefore, manage with skill and dexterity About this time of the year you see them lurking much about the barrack and hay loft You see them crawling out from stacks of straw and walking away rapidly with their hands behind them. They look very innocent, for have noticed that the look of innocence in boys is proportionate to the amount of mis- chief with which they are stuffed. They seem to be determined to risk their lives on mow poles where the hay is thin. They come out from un- der the stable floor in despicable state of toilet, and cannot give any ex- cuse for thelr depreciation of apparel. Hens futter off the nest with an un- usual squawk, for the boys cannot wait any longer for the slow process of laying, and hens have no business to stand in the way of Easter. The most tedious hours of my boyhood were spent in waiting for hen to get off hernest. No use to scare her off, for then she will get mad. and just as like as not she will take the egg with her. Indeed, think the boy is excusable for his haste if his brother has dozen eggs and he has only eleven.-T. De Witt Talmage in Ladies Home Jour. nal

Behind 8 Human Shield.

There was most thrilling scene in the prison at Marquette, Mich.
 Edmund Holzhay, the desperate train robber, highwayman and mur- derer, seized Keeper Palliser about the throat as he attempted to search him for weapons.
 At the same time he held knife at his throat. He then drew Palliser to the gate, crying to the guard, ''Kill me, or will this man." When Dep uty Warden Hawley raised his rifle, Holzhay concluded that he did not want to die just then, and shielded himself with Palliser's body. Finally the latter broke away and escaped. Holzhay then seized a fellow convict named Meservey, the prison tailor, and repeated the same tactics. Meser. vey has been very faithful and hard working fellow, and Warden Tomp- kins did not wish to sacrifice his life by rushing in and seizing the probably insane Holzhay.
 After while Holzhay sat down on a box in his cell, still keeping Meser- vey between him and the warden's kins tried to reason with the desperado, or get chance to disarm him. Holz- hay was cunning and got into posi-. ton where he could not be commanded from the outside windows.
 Finally his attention was distracted for an instant by keeper talking to a convict on the opposite side of the cell block. His hand grasping the knife was lying on his knee Warden Tomp- kins seized the opportunity and plant ed bullet directly in through the knuckles of his hand.
 Meservey jerked away, and Holzhay exclaimed, Well, you have done it, J rose and walked toward his cell, the blood streaming from his shattered hand.-Exchange.
